Piers Morgan is returning to ITV today, just over one year after he walked off the set of Good Morning Britain following a nasty spat with weatherman Alex Beresford. Ahead of his appearance on Lorraine this morning, Piers revealed in a new interview that he believed Alex was after his “moment of fame” and that their altercation had been rehearsed ahead of time.Piers, 57, dramatically exited the set of Good Morning Britain in March 2021 after Alex, 41, slammed his attitude towards Meghan Markle.The journalist has now claimed that the weatherman had an ulterior motive for calling him out. “Apparently he was heard out the back rehearsing his lines,” Piers said. “Clearly wanted to have his little YouTube moment of fame, and that’s fine. “I know he was planning a Hollywood career,” he continued brazenly. “I’m not quite sure how it’s going; I’ve not heard any updates.”Express.co.uk have contacted Alex’s representatives for comment.Early last year Meghan, 40, claimed that racist treatment she received while working as a senior member of the royal family left her feeling suicidal in a sit down interview with her husband Prince Harry, 37, and TV’s Oprah Winfrey. Questioning the credibility of the Duchess of Sussex’s claims, Piers told 1.9 million GMB viewers at the time: “I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said, Meghan Markle.  “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report.”Alex went on to suggest Piers’ response was due to him having some sort of personal vendetta against Meghan. During the exchange, Alex said: "I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or had one, and she cut you off."She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to.

Filmmaker Michael Bay has been criticized by some for his bombastic films and their reliance on special effects over plot. His latest film, Ambulance, is also being downgraded by one critic for its use of CGI. The critic? Michael Bay.

J. Kim Murphy Although Michael Bay’s “Ambulance” is only weeks away from a stateside release, the director has admitted that he isn’t completely satisfied with the final product. The blockbuster director, celebrated for his elaborate action sequences and practical pyrotechnics, has stated that he isn’t content with how every visual effects shot looks in the movie.Speaking in a promotional interview with European cinema chain Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont, Bay expressed a passion for the emphasis on practical stunts in “Ambulance” before noting his dissatisfaction with a few particular moments that required digital effects.“All those explosions and cars flipping, that’s all real.

zombie crabs have taken over a road in massive swarms following a population boom.The odd looking creatures reportedly shocked local residents as they set off on a journey in early hours of Thursday morning (24 March).After two years of Covid, the crabs stature and numbers have grown an incredible amount as they were able to safely cross usually trafficked roadways in the Bay of Pigs, Cuba.When spring rains began to fall on the island, millions of the snappy creatures emerged from their resting spots in the morning and marched across the road and down to the sea, The Sun reported.The mass migration happens due to the females needing to return to sea to hatch their eggs where the larvae live as plankton.Angel Iraola, a security guard for a car park which has been rife with crabs, said: "There was very little traffic, and very little tourism."There are more crabs now than there have been in many years."The crustaceans get their "zombie crab" name due to them being the host organism for two species of flies who gain nutrients, shelter and movement from inside the crab.Flies who occupy the crabs live in them for most of their lives – laying eggs in the crab's eyes where the larvae migrate into their host and live there.As time goes on the larvae will move towards the crab's mouthparts before falling to the ground to grow into fully grown flies.Many of the crabs sadly die from being crushed by cars in the years before Covid.For more incredible stories from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here In the UK, giant 6ft king crabs from Russia are invading waters and sparking fears for native species.As threatening as the two stone beasts are to scallops and brown crabs, fisherman admit they will make

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticAt a time of strife, division, anxiety, and war, you might think the moment would be right for a nostalgic escape to the retro-excessive trash-movie mystique of the ’90s — an age when action thrillers were big, loud, decadent, “rebellious” and, as often as not, ripped off from “Die Hard.” “Ambulance,” however, could make you rethink that impulse. It’s directed by Michael Bay, who over the years has trafficked in a great many varieties of excess: massively scaled kiddie gizmo excess (the “Transformers” films), apocalyptic sci-fi excess (“Armageddon”), fake-authentic historical excess (“Pearl Harbor”), and good old buddy-movie excess (“The Rock” and “Bad Boys”).
