Piers Morgan has blasted Stephen Fry and begged him to quit his “mind-numbing” and “tedious” Twittering.
Fry, has approximately one million followers on social networking site Twitter and recently threatened to leave the site after a spat with a fellow user.
Morgan told Contactmusic: “Fry spends all day posting unutterably tedious messages to the world’s ‘twits’ about himself, then bleats like a baby when one of them has the gall to point out what the rest of us can read with our own eyes – he’s just bloody boring.

What a moving and emotional interview this was, and for once, Piers was somewhat gentle with his interviewee, Cilla Black.
His notorious terseness was thankfully largely absent, and rightly so because Cilla is a national treasure and I might’ve had to go down to the ITV studios and beat him up with his own shoes if he’d been mean to her.
Especially in light of her open and frank discussion with Piers about the death of her baby girl, Ellen, in 1975. Ellen was born prematurely we heard, and suffered from breathing and lung problems that led to her death just two hours after her birth. Read more & comment »

Cilla reveals that baby Ellen was born prematurely at only 27 weeks in 1975, but passed away two hours later.
Cilla wept: “It was awful. I could hear in the next room two women talking about their babies and I had none.”

Piers Morgan certainly does know how to whip the press into a frenzy and he has done so again today by sensationally banning David Beckham from his ITV chat show.
Piers revealed that he is related to Rebecca Loos, who sensationally had an affair with Beckham. He told The Sun: “I don’t want him on my programme. Rebecca is my second cousin from my marriage.

Piers: “You’ve had an extraordinary career and for a long time you were one of the top female presenters in the country. I suppose the problem for you is that you’re still defined in most people’s eyes by men. You’ve had four children now by four blokes. You’re the 4 x 4 Star.”
Ulrika: “I know. It’s a funny terminology but it is appropriate, it’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.”
Piers: “If I asked the audience, some would like you very much be a fan of yours, others would think ‘bit of a floozy’?”
Ulrika: “I think others might be a little bit circumspect. A lot of women have more than one partner in their life and because I’ve ended up marrying now for the third time and yes admittedly having four children by four men, doesn’t necessarily mean I’m more of a floozy than anybody else.”
And thus the interview between Piers Morgan and Ulrika Jonsson went on in a similar manner; with Piers offering thinly veiled insults in the form of questions and Ulrika answering defensively in a very non-defensive manner.
That said, Piers did his usual ‘idol worship’ of an introduction which basically involves licking the metaphorical boots of his guest verbally before they start talking, which often – as it did last night – takes up way too much time… Read more & comment »

Piers Morgan has hit out at chat show hosts Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton and Alan Carr saying that they “wouldn’t know a good journalistic question if it bit them on their backsides”.
Morgan said that Norton is “too camp, bitchy and ’showbizzy’ for my taste”, and named him the man with the most irritating voice, apart from Alan Carr.
Piers was interviewing himself for the March edition of GQ magazine and he added that Jonathan Ross should have been sacked over his recent prank calls to Andrew Sachs.
