Piers Morgan: Last News

Oscar-winner Will Smith saw red at the weekend when comic Chris Rock appeared to poke fun at his wife's alopecia condition with a "GI Jane" joke - and stormed the stage to slap him across the face.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorEveryone’s talking about this week’s furor at the Oscars — even the hosts at Fox News Channel’s “The Five.”On Monday afternoon, regulars Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jesse Watters and Jeanine Pirro held forth with guest Piers Morgan — the British journalist and TV host who has demonstrated a proclivity for getting into celebrity feuds — sitting in a chair typically reserved for someone with more liberal political views. In the show’s opening segment, however, politics went out the window.

Piers Morgan, 56, spoke out yesterday on Will Smith's Oscars slap saying he was just "defending his girl".The former Good Morning Britain presenter has taken to Twitter again today to say the bold statement that people are asking for more "draconian action" against Will than Vladimir Putin.Piers took to Twitter early hours this morning to leave the very bold statement.In view of his 7.9 million followers he said: "Fascinating to see many people on here furiously demanding more draconian action against Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock than they've demanded against Vladimir Putin for launching war against a whole country #Perspective."Many social media users rushed to the post's comments to voice their opinion on Piers' daring statement.AClar16 said: "Er..no, not really. Nobody is advocating giving Javelin missiles to Chris Rock." (sic)PearcesVoice added: "Fascinating that you think they're remotely related."Davis36_julie commented: "He should not have hit him, however why are people focusing on Will Smith's face?"Why are they not commenting on how Jada looked? It was obvious she was hurt."Why was it okay for Chris Rock to take the mick out of her health? Has Chris Rock apologised?"In his column, published yesterday Piers admitted he wasn't surprised that Will responded how he did to Chris' comment.The outspoken broadcaster was describing the moment he met Will."Before we started, [Will] warned me: 'Don’t upset my wife, Mr Morgan, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry,'" Piers recalled.He continued: “And when Will Smith, who’d initially laughed at Rock’s routine, saw how upset his wife was by the comment, it stung him too.

Piers Morgan has supported Will Smith, saying he ‘probably would have done the same’ after the actor slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.Chris, 57, made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, with Will, 53, storming the stage and smacking him, before swearing at him from his seat. He’s since apologised.Jada, 50, has alopecia, but it’s reported that Chris did not know about her condition.Tweeting a photo of the already infamous slap, Piers, 56, wrote: ‘So much snowflakey bulls**t re Oscars smackdown.

Harry’s decision comes after he expressed his concerns about the lack of security available for his family while they are in the UK.He is involved in a legal battle with the Home Office and is arguing that his private security team cannot match police protection granted to full-time royals.A legal representative said in a statement in January: “Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life."He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats."It adds that Harry wants to personally pay for police protection “not impose on the taxpayer”.Since he and Meghan moved to California two years ago, Harry has returned to the UK twice: for Prince Philip’s funeral and for the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statueTheir son Archie, two, has not returned to the country since their departure and their baby daughter Lilibet has never visited, nor met, her great-grandmother, the Queen.

Piers Morgan has defended Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock on stage during Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony in Hollywood.The presenter, 56, admitted he felt “moved to defend” the actor and criticised what he calls “an overly sensitive snowflake society”.

Ukraine, many have looked to presidents and top politicians to provide a solution. However Piers Morgan was witheringly critical of Joe Biden, who appeared yesterday to backtrack on his administration's previous assertions that sanctions could deter Putin from continuing the war."Let's get something straight," Joe Biden bluntly began as he fielded questions from a CBS News journalist."If you remember, if you've covered me from the beginning, I did not say that in fact that sanctions would deter him," he continued, in reference to Vladimir Putin."Sanctions never deter! You keep talking about that."Seconds earlier, he had accused the journalist, Christina Ruffini, of "playing games" after she quizzed him on how sanctions could work if they had not been a sufficient deterrent to prevent the invasion.Piers had an axe to grind after viewing an incendiary video clip of the press conference, posted by @RNCResearch, and took to Twitter to tell all to his network of almost eight million followers."Either Biden didn’t know his entire top team repeatedly said sanctions WOULD deter, or he’s forgotten they said it," he wrote."Either way, this makes him look ridiculous, and the fact he mocked the journalist is even worse."However another Twitter user suggested that he should check out a longer version of the video to put his concerns into context, warning: "You need to listen to him fully - this cuts it off."He said Sanctions never deter.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has jumped to Prince William’s defence as he and Kate Middleton embarked on a Caribbean tour around the Commonwealth nations.The couple have visited the Bahamas, Jamaica and Belize in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.Although the couple did receive a warm welcome from many, the trip has been marred by criticism surrounding Britain’s role in the slave trade and protests for the countries to remove the Queen as their head of state.Responding to critics, Jeremy said he greatly “admires” the Duke for “sticking with” with his duties.He also took the opportunity to swipe at Prince Harry who he says “learned to fly the exotic Apache gunship” and then “b***ered off to California”.The Grand Tour star said: “As Prince William heads home from his trip to various sun-kissed and idyllic Caribbean islands, I’m left open-mouthed with admiration for the man.”He imagined a scenario where William would have been sat down as a child and told “he was going to spend his entire life opening disabled lavatories in civic centres” with “no private life” nor a “proper holiday”.The novice farmer then jibed at Prince Harry, saying: “If I’d been in [William’s] shoes, I’d have hitched myself to an American hotty, taken up weed and buggered off to live in California.“He didn’t, though.

And how the public airing of family dirty laundry doesn’t help anyone get ahead?”On the other side of the argument, Mickey fumed that Piers was “obsessed”, saying: “I thought we agreed that constantly going after a female of colour really isn’t a good look for you Piers?
