'''Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan''' (born 30 March 1965), was the [[editing|editor]] of British [[tabloid newspaper]]s the ''[[News of the World]]'' (1994–1995) and the ''[[Daily Mirror]]'' (1995–2004).<ref name="sack">{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3716151.stm | title=Editor sacked over 'hoax' photos | publisher=BBC News | date=14 May 2004}}</ref> He is credited as author of eight [[books]] and is editorial director of ''[[First News (newspaper)|First News]]'', a national newspaper for children. Morgan branched into television mainly as a presenter, but has become best known as judge or contestant in [[reality television]] programmes. In the UK, he is a judge on ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]'' alongside [[Amanda Holden]] and [[Simon Cowell]]. He is known in the United States as a judge on the show ''[[America's Got Talent]]'', and as the winner of ''[[The Apprentice (U.S. Season 7)|The Celebrity Apprentice]]''. Pughe-Morgan is currently hosting The Dark Side of Fame, which featured, among others, Pamela Anderson and Tracey Emin. |
|||
==Early life== |
|||
The third of four children<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3713857.stm BBC NEWS | UK | Profile: Piers Morgan<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, Piers Morgan was supposedly named after [[brewery]] heir and privateer [[History of Formula One|motor-racing]] driver [[Piers Courage]]. He attended a private [[Preparatory school (UK)|preparatory school]] until the age of 13 and then [[Chailey School]], a [[Comprehensive school|comprehensive]] [[secondary school]] in [[Chailey]], near [[Lewes]], [[East Sussex]]<ref>[http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article3689768.ece PROFILE: Piers Morgan] ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' 6 April 2008</ref>. Morgan studied [[Journalism]] at [[Harlow College]]. After a brief career at [[Lloyds of London]], he joined the [[Surrey and South London Newspaper Group]], where he worked as a [[reporter]] on the South London News, and the Streatham and Tooting News. Morgan was recruited (he says [[Recruiter|headhunted]] by editor [[Kelvin MacKenzie]]) to join ''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]]'' newspaper, specifically to work on the ''Bizarre'' column. |
|||
==Career in newspapers== |
|||
Morgan's first major position in national media was as ''de facto'' editor of ''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun's]]'' show business [[columnist|column]], 'Bizarre', under the editorship of [[Kelvin MacKenzie]]. In 1994, aged 28, he was appointed editor of the ''[[News of the World]]'' by [[Rupert Murdoch]], becoming the youngest national newspaper editor in more than half a century. He quickly gained notoriety for his invasive, thrusting style and lack of concern for celebrities' right to privacy, claiming that they could not manipulate the media to further their own ends without accepting the consequences of a two way deal. |
|||
Morgan left this post shortly after publishing photographs of [[Catherine Victoria Lockwood]], then wife of [[Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer|Charles, Earl Spencer]] leaving a detoxification clinic. This action ran against the editors' code of conduct, a misdemeanour for which the [[Press Complaints Commission]] took Morgan to task. Murdoch was reported as having said publicly that "the boy went too far". Morgan's autobiography ''The Insider'' states that he left the ''News of the World'' of his own choice and somewhat against owner Rupert Murdoch's wishes when he was offered the job of Editor at the ''[[Daily Mirror]].'' |
|||
As editor of the ''Mirror'', in 1996 Morgan was widely criticised and forced to apologise for the headline "Achtung! Surrender" a day before [[England national football team|England]] met [[Germany national football team|Germany]] in a semi-final of the [[1996 European Football Championship|Euro '96]] football championships.<ref name="IHT">{{cite news |url=http://www.iht.com/articles/1996/06/26/england.t_0.php |title=Oh, Sorry: Tabloids Lose the Soccer War |last=Thomsen |first=Ian |date=1996-06-26 |work=[[International Herald Tribune]] |accessdate=2008-06-03}}</ref> |
|||
In 2000, he was the subject of an investigation after Suzy Jagger wrote a story in ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' revealing that he had bought £20,000 worth of shares in the computer company [[Viglen]] soon before the ''Mirror'' 's 'City Slickers' column tipped Viglen as a good buy.<ref name="lie">{{cite news|title=Mirror editor saw his shares soar after paper tipped company|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/2000/02/02/nmir02.html}}</ref> Morgan was found by the [[Press Complaints Commission]] to have breached the Code of Conduct on financial journalism, but kept his job. The 'City Slickers' columnists [[Anil Bhoyrul]] and [[James Hipwell]], were both found to have committed more breaches of the Code, and were sacked before the inquiry. In 2004, further enquiry by the [[Department of Trade and Industry]] cleared Morgan from any charges.<ref name="cleared">{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3792225.stm | title=Morgan cleared after shares probe | publisher=BBC News | date=10 June 2004}}</ref> On 7 December 2005 Bhoyrul and Hipwell were convicted of conspiracy to breach the Financial Services Act. During the trial it emerged that Morgan had in fact bought £67,000 worth of Viglen shares, emptying his bank account and investing under his wife's name too.<ref name="lie">[http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1648547,00.html Mirror editor 'bought £67,000 of shares before they were tipped' | Media | The Guardian<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
|||
In 2002, the ''Mirror'' attempted to move mid-market, claiming to eschew the more trivial stories of show-business and gossip. Morgan rehired [[John Pilger]], who had been sacked during [[Robert Maxwell|Robert Maxwell's]] ownership of the Mirror titles. Despite such changes, Morgan was unable to halt the paper's decline in circulation, a decline shared by its direct [[tabloid]] rivals ''[[The Sun]]'' and the ''[[Daily Star (United Kingdom)|Daily Star]]''. |
|||
Morgan was fired from the ''Mirror'' on 14 May 2004 after authorising the newspaper's publication of photographs allegedly showing [[Iraq]]i prisoners being abused by [[British Army]] personnel.<ref> http://web.archive.org/web/20041125053916/www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/13/iraq.abuse.statement/index.html CNN World, 13 May 2004 </ref> Within days the photographs were shown to be crude fakes. Under the headline "SORRY.. WE WERE HOAXED", the ''Mirror'' responded that it had fallen victim to a "calculated and malicious hoax" and apologised for the publication of the photographs. <ref> http://web.archive.org/web/20041012123314/http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/14/iraq.abuse.uk/ CNN London, 15 May 2004.</ref> |
|||
In May 2005, in partnership with [[Matthew Freud]], he gained ownership of ''[[Press Gazette]]'', a media trade publication together with its '[[cash cow]]' the British Press Awards, in a deal worth £1 million.<ref name="pgdeal">{{cite news | url=http://www.journalism.co.uk/news/story1408.shtml | title=Piers Morgan clinches Press Gazette deal | publisher=journalism.co.uk | date=13 June 2005}}</ref><ref name="prop">{{cite news |

|||
On 4 May 2006, Morgan launched ''[[First News (newspaper)|First News]]'', a weekly paper aimed at seven- to fourteen-year-olds. Upon its launch Morgan claimed that the paper was to be "Britain's first national newspaper for children",<ref>"Britain's first national newspaper for children to launch Friday", Associated Press (2006-05-04).</ref> although this claim was without foundation: other newspapers aimed at young audiences have included ''[[The Boy's Newspaper]]'' (1880-1882), ''[[The Children's Newspaper]]'' (1919-1965), and ''Early Times'' (launched in the late 1980s). Morgan is editorial director at ''First News'', responsible for bringing in celebrity involvement. He referred to the role as "editorial overlord and frontman"<ref name="firstnews">{{cite news |

|||
In 2007, Morgan was filmed falling off of a [[Segway]], breaking three ribs. [[Simon Cowell]] and others made much of Morgan's previous comment in 2003, in the ''[[Daily Mail]]'', after U.S. President [[George W. Bush]] fell off a Segway, that "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off, wouldn't you, Mr. President?"<ref>{{cite web |

|||
Morgan writes an interview column in the monthly men's magazine ''[[GQ (magazine)|GQ]]''. The column tends to be celebrity-orientated. |
|||
==Career in television== |
|||
Morgan's career has diversified in recent years into television presentation and proprietorship. In 2003, he presented a three part television documentary series for the [[BBC]] titled ''The Importance of Being Famous'', about fame and the manner in which celebrities are covered by modern media. |
|||
He has co-hosted his own current affairs interview show on [[Channel 4]], with [[Amanda Platell]] called ''Morgan & Platell''. The show was dropped after three series allegedly due to poor viewing figures, though the chairman of Channel 4, [[Luke Johnson (Businessman)|Luke Johnson]], was reported not to like the programme. |
|||
Morgan was reported in December 2005<ref name="talent">{{cite news | url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1667962,00.html | title=Piers Morgan to judge ITV talent show | work=MediaGuardian|publisher=[[The Guardian]] | date=2005-12-15 | accessdate=2008-06-08}}</ref> to be developing a new series ''You're Fired'' and to be a panelist in a forthcoming talent show for [[ITV]]1 based on the US series ''[[The Gong Show]].'' |
|||
Throughout 2006 Morgan appeared as a judge on the American television show ''[[America's Got Talent]]'' alongside [[Brandy (entertainer)|Brandy]] and [[David Hasselhoff]] on NBC. Morgan was chosen by [[Simon Cowell]] as a replacement for himself due to the conditions of his [[American Idol]] contract. Morgan appeared as a celebrity contestant on ''[[Comic Relief Does The Apprentice]]'' in 2007, to raise money for [[Comic Relief (charity)|Comic Relief]]. During filming, he and [[Alastair Campbell]] reduced fellow contestant [[Trinny Woodall]] to tears when they tried to sabotage her team's event, and were involved in a brawl with her.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-442712/ |title=Troubled Trinny in tears after Apprentice scuffle |last=Bates |first=Clare |date=2007-03-16 |work=The [[Daily Mail]]}}</ref> Upon his team losing, Morgan was selected by [[Alan Sugar|Sir Alan Sugar]] as the contestant to be fired.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://tvnews.virginmedia.com/news/?news_id=7543 |title='Red Nose apprentice' Morgan fired |author=[[PA Entertainment]] |date=2007-03-16 |work=TV news |publisher=[[Virgin Media]] |accessdate=2008-06-08}}</ref> |
|||
Also in 2007 he appeared as a judge for the second season of ''America's Got Talent'' and also appeared as a judge on the British version of the show, ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]'' on [[ITV1]], alongside [[Amanda Holden]] and [[Simon Cowell]]. He also presented ''You Can't Fire Me, I'm Famous'' on [[BBC One]]. |
|||
In January 2008, Morgan fronted a new 3-part documentary about [[Sandbanks]] for ITV1<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itv.com/Sandbanks/Abouttheshow/ |title=Sandbanks: Piers Morgan meets Dorset's mega-rich |date=2008-01-10 |work=ITV Sandbanks |publisher=[[itv.com]] |accessdate=2008-06-08}}</ref> entitled ''Piers Morgan on Sandbanks''. |
|||
Morgan was the winner of the U.S. celebrity version of ''[[The Apprentice (U.S. Season 7)|The Apprentice]]'', early in 2008. The most memorable feature of the programme was the rowdy disagreements he had with fellow contestant [[Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth]]. This was resolved in Morgan's favour on 6 March, after her team was defeated by Morgan's in the biggest victory in Apprentice history. Morgan ended up the overall winner, being named Celebrity Apprentice on 27 March, ahead of fellow finalist, American country music star, [[Trace Adkins]] (whom he surprised by kissing him on the cheek just moments after an on-air spat with Stallworth) and having raised substantially more cash than all the other contestants combined.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article3639348.ece |title=Piers Morgan wins US Celebrity Apprentice but is branded 'evil' |last=Schmidt |first=Veronica |date=2008-03-28 |work=[[Times Online]] |accessdate=2008-06-08}}</ref> |
|||
In May 2008 Morgan signed a two year "[[golden handcuffs]]" deal with ITV reportedly worth £2 million per year. As part of the deal Morgan will continue as a judge on ''Britain's Got Talent'' for at least two more series and front a new [[Talk/Chat show|chat show]]. He will also make some interview specials, plus three more documentaries from various countries. Morgan's golden handcuffs deal is the first signing by ITV's new director of television, [[Peter Fincham]]. <ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/may/29/itv.television?gusrc=rss&feed=media |

|||
On 8 September 2008, a new series started, [[The Dark Side of Fame with Piers Morgan]] produced by [[BBC Scotland]]. |
|||
Morgan has a new show, simply called "Piers" on ITV1. Recordings will start at the London Studios from 14th November 2008. The format will be one-on-one interviews with "A-list" celebrities. |
|||
==Feuds== |
|||
===Ian Hislop and "Private Eye"=== |
|||
Morgan appeared as a guest on the satirical news quiz ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' in an episode transmitted on 24 May 1996; in it, show regular [[Ian Hislop|Hislop]] and Morgan failed to keep their mutual contempt off-screen. Hislop accused Morgan of having him (Hislop) followed and having his house watched. The conflict escalated and at one point the host, [[Angus Deayton]], asked if they wished to go outside and have a fight. Later in the show, when shown his question in the "Odd One Out round" ([[Rupert Allason]]; [[Sting (musician)|Sting]]; a koala; Geoffrey Clements) Morgan responded, "Is the answer 'jam'?" in reference to a joke made by [[Eddie Izzard]] the previous week, saying, "Last week Eddie Izzard said it and everyone roared with laughter." Hislop retorted that Izzard got a laugh because "People like him". Morgan replied, "Don't play the popularity line with me, Hislop", before appealing to the audience: "Does anyone actually like him?" The audience responded loudly in favour of Hislop. <ref> ''[[Have I Got News For You]]'' series 11 episode 6. Transmitted 24th May 1996, BBC2.</ref> |
|||
[[Private Eye]], of which Hislop is editor, has routinely referred to Morgan as "Piers Moron" (or, in a twist on their common practice of inserting a nickname in quotes between first name and surname, as 'Piers "Morgan" Moron') and more recently, "Rent a Gob" in reference to his appearances as a judge on television talent shows. The magazine had originally referred to him as Piers 'Boy' Morgan, based on Rupert Murdoch's reference to him as 'the boy' after his departure from the News of the World. During his time at ''the Mirror'', Morgan frequently threatened to publish damaging stories about Hislop, and while they never appeared, Morgan has staged numerous stunts such as gate-crashing a Hislop book signing with 'protestors' proclaiming 'Gnome Go Home.' |
|||
Following the publication of Morgan's book ''[[The Insider: The Private Diaries of a Scandalous Decade]]'' in 2005, the Eye published an article suggesting that, far from Morgan being an insider and this a "diary", he was an unreliable spectator. The book contained many glaring inaccuracies. For example: |
|||
From the "diary" entry for Saturday, 12 March 1994: "Our legal manager... is now married to Pierce Brosnan's ex-girlfriend. Anyone who can nick James Bond's bird has got to be a cool customer." [[Pierce Brosnan]] was not chosen to play Bond until 7 June 1994,<ref> Last, Kimberly (1996) "Pierce Brosnan's Long and Winding Road To Bond". 007 Magazine. http://www.klast.net/bond/pb_road.html. Retrieved on 22 February 2007.</ref> and made his first Bond film (''[[Goldeneye]]'') in 1995. |
|||
Thursday, 25 January 1996: "Went to interview [[Tony Blair]], after his toughest week as leader. Harriet Harman, secretary of state for social security, had revealed that she's sending her son to a selective grammar school." Labour were in opposition at the time, so [[Harriet Harman]] cannot have been secretary of state for social security. |
|||
Wednesday, 26 March 1997: "Tea with Tony Blair at No 10 ... He was yawning a lot and drinking endless cups of tea. I tried to wake him up a bit." Labour were elected on 3 May 1997. At the time Morgan was allegedly "drinking tea" at No. 10 with Blair, [[John Major]] was still Prime Minister. |
|||
Tuesday, 3 August 1999: "Went to [[Chequers]] for the first time today for tea with Blair. An extraordinary place, stuck out in the middle of the countryside... 'Do you fancy a look round the old cabinet war rooms?' he asked. And we strolled up to where Churchill made all those 'fight them on the beaches' speeches." The [[Cabinet War Rooms]] are actually in London, as is the House of Commons, which is where Churchill made his "fight them on the beaches" speech. |
|||
From time to time the Eye returns to this theme, seldom missing an opportunity to criticise the book. |
|||
In 2007, Ian Hislop chose Morgan as one of his pet hates on ''[[Room 101 (TV series)|Room 101]]''. In doing so, Hislop spoke of the history of animosity between himself and Morgan and revealed that after their exchange on ''Have I Got News For You'' (which was shown as a clip), Morgan's reporters were tasked with trying to get gossip on Hislop's private life (including phoning acquaintances of Hislop's), and photographers were sent in case Hislop did anything untoward or embarrassing while in their presence. Neither the reporters or photographers succeeded. Hislop also revealed that Morgan had recently attempted to quell the feud in an article in The Mail On Sunday, saying "The war is over. I'm officially calling an end to hostilities, at least from my end. I'm sure it won't stop him carrying on his 'Piers Moron' stuff." Hislop responded by asking "Is that an armistice or an unconditional surrender?" However, although the show's host [[Paul Merton]] agreed to put Morgan into ''Room 101'', he was comically rejected as being "too toxic" even for ''Room 101.'' <ref> ''[[Room 101 (TV series)|Room 101]]'' series 11 episode 6. Transmitted 9th February 2007.</ref> |
|||
<ref>url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QfW58Efcck</ref> |
|||
===Jeremy Clarkson=== |
|||
In March 2004, at the [[British Press Awards]], Clarkson punched Morgan three times in a clash over ''The Mirror'''s coverage of his private life, and accusations that Clarkson did not write for his column in ''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]]'' himself.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2004/mar/17/mediamonkey.pressandpublishing |author=Media Monkey |title=Clarkson and Morgan in tabloid tussle |work=[[MediaGuardian]] |date=2004-03-17 |accessdate=2008-06-08 }}</ref> Morgan reported a rapprochement with Clarkson in the epilogue of his book "Don't You Know Who I Am?". |
|||
==Personal life== |
|||
Morgan [[divorced]] from Marion Shalloe in [[2008]], whom he married in July 1991 in north [[Hampshire]]. They have three sons: Spencer (born July 1993), Stanley (born June 1997) and Albert (Bertie) (born December 2000). He has been linked romantically to ''[[The Guardian]]'' columnist [[Marina Hyde]] and ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'''s gossip columnist [[Celia Walden]]<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-375461/ |title=I do admire her work, says smitten Piers |last=Owen |first=Glen |date=2006-01-29 |work=[[The Mail on Sunday]] |accessdate=2008-06-08}}</ref>, who is the daughter of the former Conservative MP [[George Walden]]. Morgan has stated that he is a [[Roman Catholic]]. |
|||
Morgan is a life long fan of [[cricket]]. A childhood which included correspondence with [[Donald Bradman|Sir Don Bradman]], and a promising early youthful fast bowler, he has played for his local side in Newick since 1978. Every year since 2000 he has organised a game between a Morgan family team and the Newick side, which includes a famous "ringer" - 2008's ringer was England one-day captain [[Kevin Pietersen]], which Morgan described as "the best day of my life."<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1032289/Howzat-ringer-china---Piers-Morgan-tells-enlisted-cricket-superstar-Kevin-Pietersen-play-village-team.html|title=Howzat for a ringer, china!|author=Morgan, Piers|publisher=Daily Mail|date=2008-07-05|accessdate=2008-07-05}}</ref> |
