Ricky Gervais doesn't want to host the Oscars because he would have to censor his humor. The British comic star - who recently confirmed he had been approached to host the prestigious annual film awards ceremony - insists he would refuse to alter his controversial jokes for the February event.

He said: "In all honesty, I don't think it will happen. Americans do get my humor but, in the words of Jerry Seinfeld, the Oscars isn't about comedy. It's about a bunch of people turning up to see if they have won an award."

Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order against "stalker" Steven Burky.

The 36-year-old actress - who is expecting her second child with husband Ben Affleck - writes in court papers that Burky, who she alleges has been harassing her since 2002, has neared "the point of becoming dangerous and threatening."

Ricky Gervais is reportedly set to host the Academy Awards next year.

Jennifer - who was raised in Princeton and later Charleston, both in West Virginia - said: "This is about as far from Hollywood as any place on Earth. I wanted to be a children's book author and a librarian."
