Piers Morgan launches scathing attack on Keira Knightley

February 26 2008

Piers MorganCelebrity Apprentice contestant and America's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan has launched a scathing attack at 'irritating' Keira Knightley.

The former tabloid editor, 42, said: "She moans about being famous and then does endless photo sessions. You can't use the media to promote yourself and then attack them! My message to Keira is: 'If you'd like me to get off your case, stop bleating!' Most people would change their lives in a flash to have a tenth of what people like her have. Being famous is brilliant."

Since being fired as the editor of Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper in 2004, Piers has landed himself a string of lucrative TV spots - which haveĀ  turned him into a household name. He admits: "I get recognized [in England] and in the States all the time now. I'm equally famous in each, but people are nicer to me in America.

"I cop a bit of abuse in the UK for being obnoxious, but they're much more polite [in America]."

Having devoted his life to becoming a 'celebrity', Piers brags that he's richer than ever and receives endless freebies, "I had a great Pretty Woman moment recently when the wardrobe girls from America's Got Talent took me shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills," he tells Britain's Closer magazine. "We spent $12,000 in just over an hour. We did Armani, Hugo Boss and Dolce & Gabbana. Who wouldn't want to be famous when that kind of thing happens?"

Piers Morgan is an idiot.

Piers Morgan is an idiot. This is rantings from a man who is obviously jealous of Keira's success and is jealous because no one outside of the Apprentice and America's Got Talent know who the hell he is. He claims that you can't attack the media for getting them at your down points? Says who? They should be entitled to a private life yet a tabloid douche like Piers continues to hunt them down. he's a disgrace to the media and a Disgrace to journalism. He's just jealous because no body knows who he is outside of his stupid Reality TV shows. is even THAT famous to compare him self to Keira Knightley?
