Piers Morgan BLASTS Meghan Markle in New Attack: Go Back to America!!

It will sadly not be any surprise to learn that the same awful dude who thinks that Meghan Markle is ruining Prince Harry is back at it. This time, notorious twonk Piers Morgan is putting the Duchess on blast for requesting privacy during an event. As he rails against her, he begins to demand that she “go back to America,” and even his poor cohost is scandalized. Meghan Markle attended a Wimbledon tennis match. Contrary to speculation, she was not seated in the royal box, but was invited as a friend of the player — Serena Williams. According to a report from the match, at least one person in the stands was asked to not photograph the Duchess. “Would you not take photographs of the Duchess?” a royal protection officer allegedly requested. The royal protection officer then explained: “She's here in a private capacity.” That sounds fair and reasonable, which is of course why Piers Morgan was outraged. Piers Morgan, who is actually paid money to voice his horrible thoughts, went on an unhinged rant on  Good Morning Britain . “You're public people, all of you!” Piers can be heard ranting in the video that we have included. “In that moment,” he continues. “You're public people.” “Stop your squealing about privacy!” Piers demands. “We don't want to hear it.” “If you want to be private, go back to America and live privately,” he instructs. “it’s pretty straightforward.” Susanna Reid, whose unenviable lot in life is to exist in physical proximity to Piers Morgan, did not like what she was hearing. “They don’t have to go back to America by the way,” she counters. “She does,” Piers insists. “She’s American!” “They don’t have to go back,” Susanna emphasizes, arguing: “She’s married an Englishman!” “She doesn’t want to be a British public figure in the royal family,” Piers says. “Go back to America.” As always, Piers wasn't interested in walking back his awful claims. He reitorated his attack on the only adult British royal family member of color in a later tweet. “It’s absurd for Ms Markle to demand privacy as she sits in the royal box on a publicly-funded jolly with her mates,” Piers asserted. Again, she was not seated in the royal box — that was debunked. She was literally just seated in the audience at Serena Williams' invitation. That's it. We mentioned before that Piers is leveling these attacks very conspicuously against the only adult black member of the family. This is not out of a desire to “pile on” attacks on Piers — honestly, every time that he opens his mouth, he gives critics nothing but ammunition. We mention it because his “go back to America” cries sound awfully familiar. There are those in both the UK and America who have suggested that black people who are unhappy in either nation should “go back to Africa.” That's a vile thing to say regardless, but especially cruel to people whose ancestors were abducted and brought over to be sold. Why is Piers ranting about Meghan Markle allegedly asking for a modicum of privacy while privately attending an event? Mostly because it's his job to stir up pointless controversy, though he still thinks he's some sort of newscaster. It's the same reason that Meghan McCain's huffing and endless name-dropping of “my father” has been a boon to The View . Having someone like Piers around means that every time that he puts his foot in his mouth, Good Morning Britain is a hot topic. But even Piers could try to reel it in when it comes to Meghan, who has faced so much racist hate since her engagement to Harry was announced.

Piers Morgan Thinks Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga Crossed a Line at the Oscars

We’ve done it, people! We’ve searched long and hard and broken a lot of sweat in the process, but we’ve tracked down the only two individuals on the planet who managed to find fault with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s performance at the Academy Awards last night . Come on down, Piers Morgan and Mel B! Take a bow! And then go retreat right back into the hole where you belong. For those who have been off the Internet all day, Cooper and Gaga performed a rendition of “Shallow” at the Oscars. The track, which went on to win Best Original Song at the ceremony, is from the film A Star is Born and it’s a romantic duet between the characters portrayed in the drama by Cooper and Gaga. And… boy, did these two artists sing it in romantic fashion on Sunday evening. See for yourself: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Sing “Shallow,” Get All of America Pregnant Most viewers responded to this performance by referencing the clear chemistry between Cooper and Gaga, joking that they should get a room and/or wishing they were a real-life couple. But Morgan and the former Spice Girl seemed legitimately upset about the duet, expressing as much on something called Good Morning Britain today. “I felt so uncomfortable for Bradley’s girlfriend, oh my gosh,” Brown said to Morgan, adding: “I would like to think it was part of the whole performance, because there’s a women’s code and hopefully that’s not … hopefully it’s only professional.” Hmmm, is there also a women’s code that centers around NOT starting salacious rumors, Melanie? Because that’ exactly what you just did here. For the record, Cooper has been dating supermodel Irina Shayk for four years. They share a 23-month old daughter together and they walked the red carpet together at this very event. Yes, Gaga and Christian Carino recently called off their engagement after two years together — but there’s no evidence whatoever that Gaga’s relationship with Cooper played any role in this break-up. Heck, there’s actually been chatter that he cheated on her . Might this just have been a case of two folks so talented that each was nominated for an Oscar… merely acting as if they were in love? Nope. That’s not possible, Morgan said on air. “Lady Gaga taking her engagement ring off – she just broke off from her fiancé – and if you put the math together, you have engagement ring off, and then staring at Bradley Cooper in a way that I would say crosses a few,” he actually speculated. Now, we know no one thinks of Piers Morgan as a hard journalist, but still. What the heck, dude? This is a wildly irresponsible thing to say. Shayk, it should be noted, sat front row at the Oscars and cheered on Cooper and Gaga throughout the performance. We’re confident she’s secure enough in her romance to not give an eff what Morgan thinks. Which is really the stance everyone should always take when it comes to Piers Morgan.

Sophie Turner Slams Piers Morgan: Shut Your Stupid Mouth, Tw-t!

Actors who portray badass characters generally aren’t quite as cool in real life as their onscreen creations. But that might not be the case with Sophie Turner. Sophie is obviously best known for her role as the savvy and uber-resilient Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones . But after today, you might prefer to think of her as Slayer of the Doughy Douche Lord. We’re talking, of course, about Piers Morgan, a man who’s clung to his last remaining shred of relevancy by burying his nose in Donald Trump’s nether regions and adopting the most obnoxious “hot take” extremist stance on every issue to come down the pike. Piers is one of those media figures who’s forever railing against the “snowflake” weaklings who he accuses of undermining the manly virtues that form the foundations of the western world. This, despite the fact that Piers has roughly the same build as the Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons and melts down like Frosty at the Equator every time someone says something mean about him on the internet. Still licking his wounds after waging a losing battle against Ariana Grande fans , Piers has decided to take on the mentally ill. We kid you not. On Wednesday, Piers retweeted an article the unknown-on-this-side-of-the-pond actress Beverley Callard, who is apparently very pissed off that famous people are demonstrating compassion toward people suffering from medical ailments. “Beverley Callard says celebs are trying to make mental health problems ‘fashionable,'” reads the original tweet.   “She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.” What we have here is a couple elderly edgelords presenting an objectively dumb opinion and preemptively patting themselves on the back for all the flak they’re gonna take, as if the impending ratio in any way lends credence to what they’re saying. By their logic, celebrities who speak out against opioid addiction are glamorizing fentanyl. These are the obnoxious blatherings like these might prompt you to respond to Piers directly, but we encourage you to hold off.  For one thing, Morgan has a reputation for reporting his critics as “bullies” and having them confined to Twitter jail. On top of that, Sophie Turner already decimated Piers for you: “Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year,” Turner replied. “But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.” Oof. Piers would probably happily trade places with Theon Greyjoy at this point. All hail Lady Sansa.

Tess Holliday Claps Back After Piers Morgan Body-Shames Her Cosmo Cover

Piers Morgan can be such a mixed bag. It’s nice ot see him berate that vulture Samantha Grant . It’s gross to see him ask Caitlin Jenner creepy questions about her body . This time, he’s making gross comments about another woman’s body — plus size model and trailblazer Tess Holliday. Tess graced the cover of Cosmopolitan , and Piers was apparently unable to resist commenting on her body and accusing her of being some sort of public health hazard. Before Piers decided to insert his opinion into the narrative, Tess was delighted with her cover. “Phew,” Tess writes on Instagram. “I’m literally a COSMO GIRL!!” “Can’t believe I’m saying that!” she continues. “Thank you @CosmopolitanUK for this incredible opportunity ” Tess discusses the impact that body positivity can have, writing: “If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life ” Tess advises her fans: “Issue hits stands 8/31!” Unfortunately, Piers Morgan is one of those dudes who worries about other people loving themselves on their terms instead of on his. “As Britain battles an ever-worsening obesity crisis,” Piers laments. “This is the new cover of Cosmo.” “Apparently,” Piers continues. “We’re supposed to view it as a ‘huge step forward for body positivity.’” “What a load of old baloney,” Piers declares. ” This cover,” Piers continues. “Is just as dangerous & misguided as celebrating size zero models.” Tess took to Twitter and hit back. “To everyone saying I’m a burden to the British health care system,” Tess begins. “I’m american,” Texx explains. “So you don’t have to worry about my fat ass.” She is such a delight and doesn’t hesitate to use humor when speaking truth to power. Good for her. (Naturally, we shouldn’t conflate body size with health, and no one should be seen as a “burden” because of their health) Tess says that the people who are uncomfortable with the size of her body, which literally does not impact them at all, should have more important things on their minds. “Worry about what horrible people you are,” Tess suggests to her detractors. That’s harsh — but considering that Piers just accused her of being the next Typhoid Mary and he was far from the worst person to comment, it’s fair. She says that they have demonstrated that they’re horrible “by whining about how me being on the cover of a glossy magazine impacts your small minded life.” It’s difficult to understand why so many people feel like they have the right to tell other people what to do with their own bodies. Tess’ body does not impact the rest of us. It just doesn’t.  But a photo of her on the cover of a magazine could have a very real and powerful effect on little girls (or others, but girls especially) who are struggling to love themselves. When people like Piers say that body positive images of Tess and women like her will somehow make the “obesity epidemic” worse, it is clear what they really mean. They mean that people who have learned to love themselves won’t go on dangerous starvation diets that ultimately don’t work in a desperate attempt to get their bodies looking how Piers wants them to. If you think that one body type is more attractive than another, that’s fine — we all have preferences. But women are allowed to just exist without you wanting to bang them.

Donald Trump to Piers Morgan: Why Should I Apologize For Racist Tweets?

The campaign and presidency of Donald Trump have brought all manner of D-list boot-lickers out of the woodwork, many of whom have attempted to forge second careers out of their willingness to publicly fellate the Donald. Scott Baio, Omarosa, Ted Nugent, and Stacey Dash are just some of the lackeys to emerge from the “where are they now?” file in hopes of winning Trump’s favor. But of all the has-beens who have put their remnants of their reputations on the line for a man who clearly has no loyalty to his minions ( ask Steve Bannon about that one) perhaps none is more perplexing than Piers Morgan. In the States, Morgan might be best known as the guy who once co-hosted a cut-rate talent show with Sharon Osbourne, but in his native UK, he still has a career. As the host of Good Morning Britain is basically the British equivalent of Matt Lauer … and we say that with full awareness that Lauer is a creep who was despised by his co-workers and received praise only when he announced his decision to finally go away. On this morning’s show, Piers was as giddy as a schoolgirl, having finally secured an interview with his longtime Twitter crush, DJT. For the most part, Morgan lobbed a bunch of softball nonsense at the president, but remarkably, he did actually broach a difficult subject by bringing up Trump’s retweets of Britain First, a bigoted hate group whose views have been universally condemned by British politicians. Trump didn’t deny that he retweeted the group more than once (“Well, three times. Boom, boom, boom. Quickly. Yeah,” he hilariously described the action), but he refused to apologize for one of the dumbest moves of a presidency characterized solely by dumb moves. “Here’s what’s fair: If you’re telling me they’re horrible, racist people I would certainly apologize, if you’d like me to do that. I know nothing about them,” Trump said. When Morgan basically replied, “That’s some Palin-caliber word salad there, boss, but folks have more finely-tuned BS detectors on this side of the pond,” Trump elaborated thusly: “I don’t want to be involved with people like that. But you’re telling me about these people because I know nothing about these people.” That was apparently good enough for Piers who took to Twitter after the interview to declare that Trump had “publicly apologised.” Now, obviously, dumb Trump tweets are nothing new, but the Britain First links took things to a dangerous new level, as for the first time, the president was presenting an immediate physical threat to civilians of an allied nation. Britain First followers have been known to engage in racially-charged hate crimes, and when their views are legitimized by none other than the president of the United States, it makes life measurably more dangerous for civilians in the UK and throughout the world. As this week’s CNN threats reminded us, the president’s words have real-world consequences, and what’s nothing more than a petty social media feud to Trump is a literal call to arms for some of his followers. But hey, if his apology is good enough for Piers Morgan, we’re sure it’s good enough to quell the homicidal rage of a heavily-armed far-right militia group.

Twitter Reacts To Mariah Carey Talking Las Vegas Shooting In Front Of October Christmas Tree

Read the rest here:

Source: Steven Lawton / Getty Mariah Carey found herself in a tricky situation this past Sunday. The pop diva went on the show Good Morning Britain to promote her upcoming Christmas mini-tour and of course, in Mariah Carey fashion, she gave us full glamorous diva in front of an October Christmas tree. At first, the image was released and social media couldn’t deal with Mimi having the tree up when we haven’t even hit December yet. WTF is Mariah Carey doing with her Christmas Tree up? It’s only the 2nd of October!

Amber Rose and Val Chmerkovskiy: It’s Over!

One of the greatest love stories of late 2016 has come to an end. According to E! News, Amber Rose and Val Chmerkovskiy have broken up. The model and television personality got to know the professional dancer last year when Rose was pair with his brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, on Dancing with the Stars. The two were then spotted at a party together in October and the romance blossomed from there. Rose and Chmerkovskiy weren’t shy about their feelings for each other, often posing in a very cozy manner on social media and talking openly about their burgeoning love. Heck, Rose even dropped the L Bomb as part of a caption to a photo of her kissing Chmerkovskiy in early January. Around that same time, she said the following about her man when asked about the relationship on her podcast. “It’s amazing. It’s so good,” she told co-host Dr. Chris Donaghue a few weeks ago, adding: “It’s been four months and I love his family and everyone is great. Right now, it’s just absolutely amazing and I’m super, super happy.” So… where did it all go wrong? How did something that felt so good turn out so bad? Details on the split have not yet been made available to the public, but it doesn’t appear as if this was a sudden break-up. We’re going to assume there was no cheating or anything shady involved, seeing as how Rose has not shared a picture of her and Val on Instagram for three weeks now. She hasn’t mentioned him, either. On Friday morning, however, Val posted a bit of a mysterious and cryptic quote on his Instagram page. It read: “What the superior man seeks in himself, what the small man seeks in others. Enlightenment is within.” This could mean… well… pretty much anything. But we’ll choose to believe it means that Chmerkovskiy thinks he has to evolve in some kind of way before he can truly commit to a relationship. On Twitter, he latter added the message “If you’re ready, it’s too late,” further leaving followers befuddled and curious for answers. Last month, the famous pair attended a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, sharing a sweet kiss on the jumbotron. It was the last time we saw them act in act sweet together. Neither Val nor Amber has commented directly on the break-up, but we have a feeling Rose will be okay in the end. Even when she’s single, she’s made it clear that she knows how to make herself feel good. If you know what we mean . View Slideshow: Amber Rose Selfies: Look at Me! Until she finds a new boyfriend, look for Rose to up her selfie game, sharing one photo after another of her face, body and cleavage. As you can see in the gallery above, that’s never a bad thing.

Piers Morgan Gets DESTROYED by Comedian Jim Jefferies: Watch!

So hey, don't know if you heard, but Piers Morgan has been quite the douchebag lately. See, Piers won a season of The Apprentice a few years back, so he's friendly with Donald Trump. And, as such, he's been feeling the need to stand up for him now that he's destroying the entire country. (Well, there's that, along with the fact that Piers just seems to enjoy being terrible, but we'll focus on the Trump connection for now.) Last month, after the super successful Women's March, he made some ignorant comments about how he wanted to plan a “Men's March” so he could “protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists.” What a loon, right? But in a new appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, he just got worse. The topic of Trump came up, and Piers immediately got defensive. Bill began to set him straight, bringing up the Muslim Ban , and Piers said that there is no Muslim Ban. And comedian Jim Jefferies, who was also on the panel, let out a hearty “F-ck off.” “You say 'He hasn't done this, he hasn't done that, he's not going to do all these things,'” Jim continued. “Give him a f-cking chance, mate.” Because, as he added, “Hitler didn't kill the Jews on the first day — he worked up to it.” Piers attempted to jump in again, calling that kind of talk hysterical and over-the-top, but Jim cut him off by telling him that he just likes that he has “a famous friend” in Trump. Watch the full (NSFW!) clip below:

Chrissy Teigen Destroyed Piers Morgan

Kim Kardashian’s Crazy Twitter Rant: Did Kanye Do It?

The social media queen herself got scrappy with other celebs. Or did she? In a very bizarre, very uncharacteristic move, Kim Kardashian tweeted back to celebrities who made fun of her nude selfie, which the reality star posted on March 7th . Piers Morgan and Bette Midler’s were the most popular, prompting Kardashian to respond publicly. Midler FTW: Cheesy joke, but all in good fun from Mr. Morga: What’s weird is that the responses from Kardashian were too outlandish and obnoxious to be from Kardashian herself. My theory (and that of Morgan’s) is that West got ahold of his wife’s account and went HAM on her haters. After Chloe Grace retweeted Midler’s tweets, Kardashian/West went after her right quick. This prompted Moretz to clarify her part in this whole mess. “There’s a huge difference in respecting the platform that you’re given as a celebrity and ‘slut shaming’ something I never have done and would never do,” Moretz tweeted last night. Meanwhile, Kardashian/West tweeted about the $53 million that West had admitted to losing from his creative endeavors. A few hours before the rants began, West asked tweeted something cryptic from his own account. “Question… Why do people not want me to be me? I want people to be the best version of themselves and I will be the best version of me,” he wrote. “Please avoid trying to talk me out of being me in the future. ###hashtag all positive vibes.” Hokay. Before this all started, Kardashian tweeted about the photo, which some fans thought was a post-baby body reveal. That sounds more like the Kardashian we’ve come to know, and not the crazy cakes who created a much talked-about scene. Change that password, Kimmy.  Don’t let someone’s “creativity” cloud your lucrative business sense. View Slideshow: Kanye West Rants on Twitter, Defends Taylor Swift Lyric
