Ryan Sutton may have shown compassion for a 70-year-old lobster, but another critic, A.A. Gill of the London Sunday Times, has gone off in the opposite direction — and possibly off the deep end, say some of his critics. Gill has always been an unconventional reviewer (he was once booted from a Gordon Ramsay restaurant after penning a review in which he called Gordo a wonderful chef but a “second-rate human being”), however, he’s really gone and done it this time, having started a recent review with, “I shot a baboon in Africa, last Wednesday, just after lunch. Shot it dead.”

Gordon Ramsay’s ratings are sinking in the U.K., according to the Daily Mail, but that isn’t stopping him from bringing more of his bluster to the States. According to a casting call we’ve obtained, December 15 will be the airdate of that cooking special Fox bought from him along with “Man Camp,” the show that promises to be a boot camp for men whose “ladies are slightly concerned about how feminine they’re becoming” (no word on when that gem will premiere). The cooking special will allow viewers to cook along at home with Ramsay, and some lucky home cooks will also be featured on air. Want your crack at being one of them? Read on!
