Nick Cannon discusses mild kidney failure scare with Howard Stern

Nick Cannon discusses with Howard Stern, about his treatment for mild kidney failure

Nick Cannon talked with Howard Stern about his treatment for “mild kidney failure”

 and (kind of) explained what the heck that non-medical term referred to.

Nick Cannon said doctors in Aspen, Colo., where he was vacationing with wife Mariah Carey and their twin babies at the beginning of the New Year, originally thought he had acute mountain sickness. Doctors then thought he had kidney stones, he said. After ruling that out, they believed he had an infection.

“It was a lot more serious. They found out that my kidneys weren’t functioning well,” Cannon explained, adding that he put “mild” in front of “kidney failure” so the public wouldn’t think he needed a transplant.

Nick Cannon said he still must undergo a few more procedures but is feeling much better. He said that he saw a different, more nurturing side of his diva-tastic wife during his hospitalization and that their marriage improved as a result of his illness.

He did not elaborate further on the cause of his ailment.

Stern and Cannon also discussed their NBC talent show, how Cannon splits the bills with Carey and the time Cannon made out with Lindsay Lohan. (“She was more attracted to me,” Cannon said.)

Golden Globes 2012 : with Ricky Gervais

Ever watch an awards show for hours, waiting for something interesting to happen, only to be disappointed? And even more disappointed because you knew that would happen?

In any case, it's safe to say that Ricky Gervais will at least appear to have some fun as host of the

Golden Globes

 tonight. Whether or not this will relieve boredom is yet to be seen.

Gervais, a Globe winner for "The Office" in 2004, has hosted the awards ceremony for the past two years. Last year he was rumored to have angered the Hollywood Foreign Press, some actors, or both, and has said/joked that he only returned as host because of the idea that he wouldn't be asked back. The British comedian is known for braising Hollywood stars while they squirm in their seats, chuckle, or over-laugh to make it seem as though they're not too offended when the camera zooms in for a reaction.

It's a style Robert Downey Jr. facetiously called "hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones" at last year's Globes, when Gervais squarely placed Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and their panned-yet-nominated movie "The Tourist" on his dartboard. Also targeted were the "mature" ladies of "Sex and the City 2" ("I saw one of you in an episode of 'Bonanza'!") and Bruce Willis, who Gervais introduced as "Ashton Kutcher's dad." As for Downey Jr., Gervais began by listing the actor's movies, then said most would know him better from stints at "the Betty Ford clinic and Los Angeles County Jail."

Like most of the other stuff, not a stretch. (Except Kim Cattrall's first IMDB credit was for 1975. "Bonanza" ended in 1973.)

"What can I say about our next two presenters?" began Gervais, introducing two more actors. "The first is an actor, producer, writer and director whose movies have grossed over $3 and a half billion at the box office. He's won two Academy Awards and three

 Golden Globes

 for his powerful and varied performances, starring in such films as 'Philadelphia,' 'Forrest Gump,' 'Castaway,' 'Apollo 13' and 'Saving Private Ryan.' The other ... is Tim Allen."

Come back to see how Gervais fares this year. We'll be live-blogging his jokes starting at 8 p.m., when the NBC broadcast begins, from opening monologue through goodnight salute.
