"I know every little movement he does, with his neck, with his eyes, with his laugh, and I want to kiss him. I do!"

British comedian Ricky Gervais has conquered all media: from TV ('The Office', 'Extras') and movies ('Night at the Museum') to books, a blog, podcasts and, most recently, an HBO stand-up special, 'Out of England.'

The DVD for 'Out of England,' which aired on HBO last fall, hits stores on March 31, and captures the funny guy's first American stand-up tour, in which he managed to make un-PC jokes on such far-ranging topics as animals, fame, obesity, Nazis, gay sex and ... charity fundraising?

Next up, Gervais makes his movie directorial debut with the comedy 'This Side of the Truth' (fall 2009), co-starring Tina Fey, Christopher Guest and Jennifer Garner. But first, he talked to AOL TV about why his fave part of 'Out of England' is the gay sex, why his most beloved co-star is small and red ... and whether David Brent will ever road trip to Scranton.

"I don't wake up in the morning and say things like, "Ugh, I've got to work with f---ing David Bowie again today."

Ricky Gervais doesn't really hate handicapped people. He just plays a guy who hates them on stage.

The funnyman best known as creator and star of the original British 'The Office' and the HBO hit series 'Extras' returns to HBO this fall with his latest comedy act, 'The Out of England Tour' (premiering in November). The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning star is also up for three Emmys, including Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie, for his 'Extras: Extra-Special Series Finale.'

Gervais talked to AOL TV about his upcoming projects, being in awe of Daniel Day-Lewis and why Steve Carell should watch his back -- literally.

The buzz on '90210,' the 'Office' (not) spin-off and more

Twice a year, TV critics from across the country gather in Los Angeles for the Television Critics' Association press tour.

For two weeks the press gets the chance to chat with the actors and writers from every network and cable channel -- and showered with useless freebies (an oven mitt promoting 'Coolio's Rules'!) -- all to better understand the season's new shows.

Here are the best boob tube tidbits we gathered at the latest TCAs.
