Ricky Gervais has the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in an uproar about something he’s said — again.

Despite having allegedly insulted half of Hollywood with the jokes he made at their expense during his Golden Globes hosting gig last month, Gervais has indicated that he’s actually been asked to return to host the awards show once more.

“The ratings went up again, and the organizers asked me to consider a third year [hosting],” Gervais wrote in UK gossip magazine Heat. (He also hosted the awards last year.)

“I don’t think I should. I don’t know what I could do better. I certainly couldn’t get more press for them, that’s for sure,” Gervais added, referring to the media firestorm that came in the wake of the broadcast.

The notion that the British comedian and NBC’s “The Office” mastermind might return to host again prompted a vigorous denial from the HFPA, which organizes the Globes.

“There is no truth to this rumor. We have not asked him to come back. Nice try, Ricky,” HFPA president Philip Berk said in a statement.

In an effort to stop the finger-pointing about who asked — or didn’t ask — who to host the Globes, Gervais’ manager, Matthew Harvey, stepped in to clear things up.

According to Harvey, Gervais never said the HFPA asked him back.

“He said that the show’s organizers, in this case NBC, called him and said he should not rule out a return for a third time.” Harvey told The Post in an email.

NBC had no comment, but an industry insider backed up Harvey’s claims that the network had come calling. “Obviously NBC has a great relationship with Ricky,” the insider said.

In response to the latest Globes brouhaha, Gervais wrote on his Web site’s blog that he didn’t know whether the organization wanted him back, but did promise one thing: “If they do invite me back and I accept,” he wrote, “I’m going to pull exactly the same s- – – again or even worse.”
