Morgan Slams Starr Over Autograph Row

Piers Morgan has branded Ringo Starr "disgusting and selfish" amid reports the Beatles legend snubbed an autograph-hunting pensioner.


The drummer is alleged to have turned down an elderly lady when she asked for his signature at the Chelsea Flower Show in London earlier this week (begs18May09).


And America's Got Talent judge Morgan is so incensed by the claim, he has launched a furious verbal attack on the rocker.


He says, "Ringo was always the least talented, ugliest, jammiest member of The Beatles. We can now add the words 'disgusting', 'selfish', 'greedy' and 'thoughtless' to the list too."

I agree with paul553. Piers has no reason to be mad about Ringo and call him names like that; he's 68, and he deserves respect from his fans when he told us how he feels about signing autographs. He's human! Piers, YOU'RE the one who's ugly, selfish, and untalented. You are a dirty man. Ringo, we still love you and you're still the greatest no matter what Piers said about you. PEACE & LOVE!

Have'nt we heard it all before? You read Piers words. It s all jealousy. No one call anyone ugly to the media and get so angry like that. If it was Mr Ross or something anti racist everyone would be making a scene about it.Only Piers. Ringo is nice lovable guy. He proved it. After all the signatures he have given he deserves to be quiet, reserved. Save your typing boys and girls Piers aint worth it!
