However, it was then revealed that Bryan, a fashion designer by profession, had bought roughly 60 pairs of shoes for her daughter.

Debating all this on Tuesday’s episode of ‘Good Morning Britain’ on ITV, she and presenter Morgan exchanged words in a situation that quickly got out of hand.

David Beckham Victoria Beckham Piers Morgan

David Beckham has hit back at critics who have been accusing him and his wife Victoria of ‘pimping out’ their 11 year old son Cruz by allowing him to launch a singing career, denying that they were exploiting him.

The 41 year old English soccer icon appeared on ‘Good Morning America’ on Monday (December 12th), and said the controversy around his son’s singing career was totally overblown and that the single was only a one-off, done because Cruz “wanted to give back” to charity.

Jennifer Lawrence Did NOT Rip Her Dress At The SAG Awards, Her Pants Fell Down


Jennifer Lawrence Piers Morgan

When Jennifer Lawrence went up to collect her award for Best Actress at last Sunday's (Jan 27) Screen Actors Guild Awards she gave us a glimpse at what could have been one of Hollywood's most famous faux-pas.

Luckily for Jennifer, when she got to the stage to accept her reward she did manage to keep things together and last night, on Piers Morgan Tonight, Jennifer went through just what happened for the first time. Although it initially looked as though her dress split, Jen told Piers that in fact the bottom tier for her Christian Dior gown began to fall away, or as she put it, "my pants fell down."

She watched the whole debacle and gave a step by step detail of her near miss in the wardrobe department, saying "Oh, god. Oh, My pants fell off." She went on, and recalled how the near miss began as she made her way to the stage, adding, "Somebody trips me on the way, I remember that and yeah—there it starts to fall off. And then I'm keeping it together, keeping it together, then my pants fall off again!"

Piers Morgan Deportation Met With White House Refusal


Piers Morgan

Gun law debates have barely receded at all since the horrific and tragic shooting at Sandy Hook in Newton last December. Piers Morgan spearheaded some of the debate via while hosting his show on CNN. He also said that, as a father of young children, he would leave the country if tighter gun control wasn't instigated. His anti-gun stance lead to outrage and a petition to have him deported. The White House has refused the petition. 

"This is very bad news for the Americans and very good news for the Brits," Morgan joked, reports the Huffington Post. Speaking on CBS's This Morning he further advocated tighter gun control, saying: "After Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head... I couldn't believe the reaction was a week of horror and mourning... and then everyone moved on and nothing changed... And since then, massacre after massacre - something has to give and I think the tipping point was Sandy Hook." 

This week he also met with gun enthusiast, Alex Jones, which led to a very heated conversation. Jones ended up shouting at Morgan. "Let me say, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms" he shouted, reports the Mail. He blamed the mass amount of US murders on 'suicide pills'. Comparing the US to the UK, he said: "I already said earlier that England had lower gun crime rate because you took all the guns. But you have hoards of people burning down cities and beating old women's brains out out everyday."

Petition To Deport Piers Morgan Heats Up, British Broadcaster Vows To Continue His 'Fight'


Piers Morgan

The petition to deport Piers Morgan following his seemingly inexplicable investment in the gun control debate in America has attained a new dimension: the White house have issued an official response while Morgan has reiterated his stance, vowing to continue the fight for the ban of firearms.

After the petition quickly gleaned the requisite 25,000 scribbles for an official response, numbers have swelled to over 100,000 in favour of deporting Morgan from U.S shores. The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, said:

"Let's not let arguments over the constitution's second amendment violate the spirit of its first. President Obama believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. However, the Constitution not only guarantees an individual right to bear arms, but also enshrines the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press - fundamental principles that are essential to our democracy."

"A Hatchet Man Of The New World Order" : Piers Morgan Keeps His Cool During Alex Jones Pro-Gun Rant


Piers Morgan Alex Jones

Piers Morgan was on the receiving end of an impassioned rant from the pro-gun radio host Alex Jones, on his CNN show. Morgan managed to keep his cool whilst he spoke to the enraged gun-defender about his role in creating a petition to deport Piers Morgan, after he expressed his views on gun control in the USA, in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre recently.

The British media personality interviewed Jones, with the words ‘Guns In America’ emblazoned behind himself and his interviewee. A clip of the interview shows Jones shouting at Morgan, saying “Hitler took the guns! Stalin took the guns! Mao took the guns! Fidel Castro took the guns! Hugo Chavez took the guns! I'm here to tell you — 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!"

Jones also argued that he believes the recent rape and murder of a girl in India, which made international headlines, could have been prevented if she had had access to a gun. “More guns means less crime,” he argues, as Piers attempts to get a word in edgeways. When questioned on how many gun murders there were in Britain last year (to compare to US statistics), Jones’ rant escalated, as waved a rolled-up newspaper at Morgan calling him “a hatchet man of the New World Order.”

Morgan Threatens To Deport Self: Will Piers Morgan Leave The USA?


Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan threatens to deport self in an article published by the Daily Mail, regarding America’s gun laws. The CNN host Piers Morgan wrote the lengthy article after seeing America’s collective response to the recent Newtown gun massacre, which resulted in 26 people being killed at an elementary school – the majority of whom were children.

Having called Larry Pratt, the man behind the Gun Owners of America lobbying group “an unbelievably stupid man,” Morgan quickly found the “full wrath of the gun lobby” on his “British head.” A petition has been created, on an official White House website, demanding that Morgan be deported “for attacking the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution” (which protects an American’s right to bear arms). So far, 90,000 people have signed the petition, though as Morgan points out, in expressing his opinion, he was merely demonstrating his rights, as a legal US resident, to speak freely, under the 1st Amendment.

Morgan concluded his missive with this statement: “I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me. Although I love the country as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well, I would, as a concerned parent first – and latterly, of a one-year-old daughter who may attend an American elementary school like Sandy Hook in three years’ time – seriously consider deporting myself.”

Piers Morgan Tells Charlotte Church About Phone Hacking, Years Before Denying Any Knowledge


Piers Morgan Charlotte Church Hugh Grant

An interview clip featuring Piers Morgan telling Charlotte Church about the possibilities of phone hacking in the media in 2003 is set to be aired on Channel 4 in a new documentary.

The former editor of tabloids The Sun, Daily Mirror and the now defunct News of the World has repeatedly denied having any knowledge that phone hacking went on since it emerged that the Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers had journalists using illegal techniques to listen to voicemails on celebrities' phones and even those of victims of crime. In fact, at the Leveson inquiry, he swore under oath several times that he 'had no reason or knowledge to believe it was going on'. In spite of this, footage has emerged of the controversial TV personality discussing the practise with the then 17-year-old popstar Charlotte Church in 2003. 'When [mobile phones] first came out journalists found out that if a celebrity hadn't changed their pin code. You can access their voicemails by typing in a number', he said. 'Now, are you really telling me that journalists aren't going to do that? If they know that they can ring up Charlotte Church's mobile phone, listen to all her messages?'

The discussion took place in an interview after she was invited to address the Oxford Union during which she campaigned for a privacy law for celebrities under 18 years of age. It will soon be broadcast on the Channel 4 documentary 'Taking on the Tabloids' which will feature Hugh Grant who has been in a string of legal battles with the tabloids following the phone hacking scandal. 

Hulk Hogan Hopes To Finally Pin Sex Tape Scandal On Piers Morgan Show

"Whatcha gonna do, brother, whatcha gonna do when a sex tape scandal runs wild on you?" Quickly call up some of the biggest mouthpieces in US entertainment culture and seek to explain yourself as soon as possible is what appears to be the answer for Hulk Hogan.

Why Did Kelsey Grammer Storm Off Piers Morgan’s Chat Show?


Kelsey Grammer Piers Morgan Camille Grammer

Kelsey Grammer stormed out of Piers Morgan’s chat show, recently, before their chat had even begun. According to E! Online, Piers is claiming that Kelsey caught wind of the fact that they had shown a clip of Kelsey’s ex wife, Camille Grammer, as the show started, so he simply got up and walked out. Piers first made the problem known when he tweeted a message to say “Kelsey Grammer was supposed to be on my show now but ran out of the building. Strange.” At this point, he appears not to understand Grammer’s motives for leaving.

A later tweet clears the situation up a little saying “So, Kelsey Grammer saw a photo of his ex wife Camille in the open to our show and legged it. Extraordinary. Never had this happen before.” Later on, Piers said that he’d had a chat with Kelsey in the green room and Kelsey had been looking forward to the interview. Later, Piers then accused Kelsey of having acted unprofessionally, saying “I like Kelsey Grammer personally, but this was a shockingly unprofessional thing to do. I wasn't even going to mention his ex-wife!” Which begs the question, of course… why show a picture of her before the interview, then, Piers?

Recently, pictures of Camille were published in the media, with the 44 year old looking stunning in a bikini, with the kind of beach body that you’d expect from someone half her age. Perhaps the renewed attention on their former relationship and publicly tricky divorce has left Kelsey feeling a bit more sensitive about the subject than normal?


Holden Explains Kelly Brook's Britain's Got Talent Exit


Amanda Holden American Idol Kelly Brook Piers Morgan Simon Cowell

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has spoken publicly about the sacking of her former colleague Kelly Brook from the ITV1 show.

The model and actress was cut from the talent show judging panel after only six days in the job last month.

At the time head judge Simon Cowell said it had become clear that the talent show's format did not "support another judge".

And Holden has said Cowell's statement last month was "absolutely right".

"It was one of those unfortunate things where nobody could foresee that it was game over when there were four judges," she told Radio 1's Newsbeat programme.

"Because of the buzzer situation, four judges on our show doesn't work," she continued. "If we didn't have the buzzers then it would definitely work like it does on American Idol and on X Factor.

"It was a really difficult thing to try and work out, when two people pressed the buzzer and two people didn't, then the person on stage didn't know whether to wait for all the buzzers to go.

"Ant and Dec were confused, we were all confused. In the end, the producers and everybody felt that it was jeopardising the show."

Former Wild at Heart actress Holden added: "It was nothing to do with Kelly Brook. She was thrown completely in at the deep end."

The third series of Britain's Got Talent begins in the spring, with a new batch of aspiring performers aiming to follow in the footsteps of previous champions Paul Potts and George Sampson.

Holden explained she and her fellow judges Cowell and Piers Morgan completed filming on the audition process of the show last Saturday.

"We've picked the last 40 acts for the live shows in May. Let's say we should rename the show Britain's Got Self Belief!" she joked.

As well as claiming a £100,000 prize, the winner gets a chance to perform in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.
