Madonna came with her guns fully loaded to the Golden Globe Awards 2012, and it turned out she needed it. First, there was the cat fight with rival Elton John. Then, it was Ricky Gervais turn to get whipped as he introduced her to present an award.
Madonna was nominated twice at this year’s Golden Globes – one for Best Original song for ‘Masterpiece’ from the movie W.E.’, and the other for Best Score of the same movie. Her rival in the Best Original Song is none other than the British diva himself, Elton John, who was nominated for the song in the movie Gnomeo & Juliet.
At the red carpet, Elton John made the opening salvo. Elton John talked about his co-nominees and when it came to Madonna, he said, “Madonna doesn’t have a f***ing chance of winning tonight.” Asked further if those were fighting words, Elton replied, “No, those are accurate words.”
Then it was Madonna’s turn. At the red carpet, she was told about Elton John’s comment. ‘Was he wearing a dress? May the best man win!” Ouch! She later made Elton John eat his words after winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
But there was another ‘cat fight’, this time with host Ricky Gervais. He introduced her as the presenter of the Best Foreign Language Film by saying she was still a virgin. And when Madonna stepped on stage, she snapped back, “If I’m just like a virgin Ricky why don’t you come over here and do something about it… I haven’t kissed a girl in quite a few years, at least not on TV”.

BTW, Ricky Gervais also poked fun at Elton. Introducing the next presenter as the queen of pop, he said, “No, not you, Elton”
