Michelle Shocked apologizes for anti-gay remarks on 'Piers Morgan,' sort of -- Video

3 April 2013 7:20 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Michelle Shocked’s rambling, quasi-coherent appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight this Monday wasn’t nearly as, well, shocking as Alex Jones’s — but it did inspire nearly as many furrowed brows.

The born-again alt-folk singer stopped by the show in order to apologize for and clarify anti-gay remarks she made at a concert March 17. (A sample: “When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back… You can go on Twitter and say, ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates f—s.’”) While Shocked began by unequivocally admitting that she “made a mistake, »

Dana Loesch ‘Admits’ To Piers Morgan That She Is In Favor Of Unlimited Child Gun Deaths

31 March 2013 7:25 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

Piers Morgan Tonight host Piers Morgan clearly has not had enough, nor can he get enough of, conservative commentator Dana Loesch. Maybe that will change after the latest episode of the Piers and Dana Show™, in which Loesch triumphantly declared that Morgan "admitted" the "truth" that he is in favor of completely disarming American citizens. In the umpteenth pointless cable news segment devoted to absurd gun nut talking points, though, Loesch appears to have "admitted" that she, in turn, is in favor of unlimited numbers of children being killed with guns. »

CNN’s ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ Now ‘Piers Morgan Live’

11 March 2013 6:27 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

There’s a new show on Jeff Zucker’s work in progress, aka CNN, tonight. Or rather, a 2-year-old show on CNN actually has a new name as of today. “Tonight the show formerly known as Piers Morgan Tonight gets a new name – @PiersMorganLive CNN 9pmET,” tweeted Piers Morgan earlier today. On the ratings-troubled show Monday, Morgan joked that the name was changed because it “was all live, all the time.” The name change was the host and former America’s Got Talent judge’s idea to emphasis the fact that the NY-based interview show is often actually live, a source tells me. Now the show will always  be live Monday to Thursdays. Sounding a lot like Larry King Live, which Morgan replaced in January 2011, the name change was first announced late last week. While Morgan may have tweeted the change today, it looks like he hasn’t updated the »

‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ Sinks To 2013 Low: Only 87K Viewers In Key Demo

1 March 2013 4:04 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

Following what many saw as a preview of what CNN’s mornings might look like with Chris Cuomo and presumptive co-host Erin Burnett, Jeff Zucker’s network-in-progress got more bad ratings news. For the second day in a row, CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight sank to a yearly (2013) low in the prime 25-54 demographic with just 87,000 viewers. Pmt is down 27% in total viewers, according to Nielsen data, and down 38% in the demo from its debut on January 17, 2011. Additionally, last night Pmt had the lowest demo in its time slot, even beaten by sister network Hln’s Dr. Drew with 208,000 viewers in the demo. Morgan’s subjects last night included dysfunctional goings-on in Washington, the papal situation, and a conversation with Gus Searcy, the so-called mentor of Jodi Arias who’s on trial in Phoenix for killing her ex-boyfriend. »

6 February 2013 10:27 PM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

A day after being let go by Fox News, Dick Morris appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight to defend himself -- and his erroneous prediction that Mitt Romney would win November's election by a "landslide." Asked by host Piers Morgan how he was doing on Wednesday night's show, Morris quipped that he was "a little battered and bleeding."

Update: Dick Morris Says Fox News Fired Him “For Being Wrong”

6 February 2013 6:25 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

Update, 6:28 Pm: One day after having his contract not renewed by Fox News Channel, Dick Morris says it was his bad political judgment that got him canned. “I was fired because I was wrong. I was wrong and I was wrong at the top of my lungs,” Morris told CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight Wednesday. On his first appearance on CNN in over a decade, the former Fnc contributor still insisted his opinion that Mitt Romney would win the Presidential election was correct – until Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast. “The real issue is why did Mitt Romney lose? The real answer is the storm,” Morris told Morgan. At the end of the approximately 20-minute interview, Morgan invited Morris to come back anytime. Previously, Feb. 5: Long time contributor Dick Morris will no longer be a talking head on Fox News Channel. “His contract is up and we will not be renewing it, »

Piers Morgan, Ted Nugent Have Heated Argument Over Gun Control (Video)

5 February 2013 3:58 PM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Ted Nugent told Piers Morgan he is “full of crap” and “obsessed with guns.” The heated exchange took place Monday on Piers Morgan Tonight  and on Tuesday CNN posted a one-minute clip. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for some – Mediaite and Breitbart.com, for example -- so they uploaded longer versions of the segment on their sites. Morgan’s show originated Monday from a Texas gun store, and Morgan showed video of himself shooting the sort of rifle that he says the U.S. government should ban – the one he said was used in the Dark Knight Rises shooting

London, Feb 1: Michael Jackson's father Joe has revealed that it was a fan, who informed him of his son's death.

He admitted on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' that he was in Las Vegas, when a fan called him up and told him that something was wrong as an ambulance had taken off from the legendary singer's place and the fire department was following it, the Daily Mail reported.

The music manager said that the saddest part about the whole thing was that his son Michael had tried to reach him.

He also seemed resentful about the fact that he felt pushed out of his son's life towards the end.

31 January 2013 12:12 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Do Chelsea Handler and Piers Morgan really despise one another as much as they made it seem during his appearance on "Chelsea Lately"? We hope so, because boy do they make great television together.

The two traded verbal barbs all throughout the interview, which can be watched above. We've compiled their best quips below, from Handler referring to his "molester eyes" to Morgan saying she's "like a bad boomerang":

- When Handler asks Morgan why he keeps staring at her, he answers, ""Either you've had plastic surgery or a makeover as you look really hot today."

- Her response? "I specifically covered up so you couldn't look at me and undress me with your molester eyes."

- "Normally when I come on the show you are really hung over in a really unprofessional way," Morgan states.

31 January 2013 8:01 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Joe Jackson has defended hitting his son Michael. The music manager was notoriously tough on his children growing up and was accused by Michael of beating him and his brothers, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon, with a belt of with his hands if they messed up during Jackson 5 rehearsals.

50 Cent Reveals Reason Behind His Breakup With Chelsea Handler

23 January 2013 2:46 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In the past Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent have admitted to having a “casual” relationship with one another. However, the pair's real reason for pumping the breaks on their romance remained unknown, until now.

During an interview on the Howard Stern Show, 50 recently confirmed that Handler’s comments about him acting like an “eighth grader” before his ex-girlfriend, Ciara's, scheduled appearance on Chandler's E! television show were indeed true.

While appearing on CNN's 'Piers Morgan Tonight', Handler opened up on her feelings towards the rapper-actor.

"We dated, very casually," Handler admitted. "He's a very sweet, nice guy... I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated."

"He's a great guy... he's the complete antithesis of what you'd imagine. He's a sweetheart, he's great, he's funny, he has a great sense of humor."

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jennifer Lawrence is an iffy night's silver lining

20 January 2013 8:44 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Ah, the perils of high expectations! Anyone who’s ever giggled at a gif of Jennifer Lawrence joking around predicted that the two-time Oscar nominee would tear up SNL last night. Unfortunately, the show itself didn’t quite live up to those lofty hopes. Lawrence herself got better and better as the episode progressed, shedding the nervousness that seemed to plague her during her opening monologue. But the material she was given didn’t follow the same arc — especially the weak sketches that followed a curiously shortened Weekend Update.

The show got off to a strong start with a Piers Morgan Tonight »

The Anger Management star will appear on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight on Thursday (January 17) to share his views on the recent school shootings. Sheen discussed his former love of collecting vintage weapons and target practice, but is now in favor of tighter gun control in the wake of the recent school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. "If anybody from the NRA wants to look any of those parents in the eyes from that school and tell them that guns are still necessary, then I urge them to, and see how that goes," the actor said in preview footage from his interview. "We're not supposed to bury our children."

White House Politely Disses Piers Morgan Deportation Petition

9 January 2013 1:27 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

The White House today surprised no one by saying it won’t be sending Piers Morgan back to the UK for his opinion on guns — despite a petition that has garnered more than 109,330 signatures. “Americans may disagree on matters of public policy and express those disagreements vigorously, but no one should be punished by the government simply because he or she expressed a view on the Second Amendment — or any other matter of public concern,” wrote Press Secretary Jay Carney today on the White House blog. “President Obama has officially decided I am Not being deported,” wrote Morgan Wednesday on Twitter after the White House posted its response. Late last year, the Piers Morgan Tonight host sparked the wrath of radio host Alex Jones and others with his response to the December 14 Sandy Hook shooting and call for stricter gun control in America.

Alex Jones has claimed that he fears for his life after his recent rant on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. The radio show host, who classifies himself as a libertarian, appeared as a guest on the interview program to discuss his petition to get Piers Morgan deported from the United States.

"They've taken everybody's guns but the Swiss and the American people, and when they get our guns they can have world tyranny." Jones has now taken to YouTube in the wake of the debate to claim that undercover cops are following him, calling New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (more) »

Conspiracy theorist goes off on epic gun rant, mocks Piers Morgan for being British -- Video

8 January 2013 7:01 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Looks like “paleo-conservative” radio host Alex Jones has finally topped his raving, Charlie Sheen-defending 2011 appearance on The View.

The brains behind infowars.com — tagline: “Because There Is A War On For Your Mind” — visited Piers Morgan Tonight yesterday, ostensibly to have a sensible debate with Morgan about gun control. Morgan has called for stricter gun laws in the wake of last month’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary; Jones, who estimates that he owns more than 50 firearms, has responded to Morgan’s statements by writing a petition to get the CNN host deported. As of this morning, the petition has over 106,000 signatures. »
