Piers Morgan is Pissed! Calls Kanye and Kim Out. Tells him to Grow up

Dear Kanye,

You’ve got a new album out, and need to promote it by shouting off your legendarily loud mouth.

I get it.

Only this can possibly explain your recent behaviour, which has been ridiculously offensive even by your standards.I’ve been a long-time admirer of yours. I think you’re a brilliantly talented musician and one of the great characters of the global entertainment industry.

You’re controversial, polarising, and speak your mind. Nothing wrong with that, I’m exactly the same.
But there’s a fine line between being entertainingly outrageous, and just being repellent, and in the past two weeks you’ve not just crossed that line, you’ve smashed it to smithereens in your desperation to offend.

This bizarre process began with your ridiculous spat with fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa, where in a grotesque misunderstanding of something he’d tweeted, you went on a Twitter rampage in which you gratuitously insulted his wife, your former girlfriend Amber Rose, by calling her a gold-digging stripper.

Worse, you dragged his little son Sebastian into it too, in a quite despicable manner, inferring he wouldn’t even exist if you hadn’t ditched his mother.

I wrote then that you had behaved in a ‘pathetic, petty and woefully insensitive’ manner by using a man’s child to humiliate him.

But that, it turned out, was just the warm-up act to your main performance of quite breath-taking crassness.Three days ago, you suddenly tweeted, for no apparent reason: ‘BILL COSBY IS INNOCENT!!!!!!’

Something that literally nobody else on Planet Earth believes.

In fact, I seriously doubt even Bill Cosby believes it.

By informing your 18.6 million followers of this sentiment, you also effectively informed them that the 50 women who have so far come forward to claim Cosby drugged, raped or abused them are all fakes.You’re implying they’ve all made up their stories to smear a once revered national icon. Yes, every one of those 50 women is a liar apparently.

As so often, you offered no explanation for your incendiary comment.You just stuck it out to ignite a media firestorm and help flog your new record.

I’m sure there must have been a more shameless, disgraceful exploitation of serious sexual assault in the history of the music industry, I just can’t off hand think of one.

Today, you shifted your line of attack to yet another woman, Taylor Swift.

A nice, decent young lady who’s done nothing to deserve your opprobrium other than the fact you once decided to charge the VMAs stage as Taylor accepted an award, furious that your friend Beyoncé hadn’t won it instead.

It emerged on Thursday that the lyric to Famous, one of the tracks on your new album, contains this line: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b*tch famous.’

Aside from the obvious disrespect to your wife Kim Kardashian West, it’s a thoroughly unpleasant and sexist thing to say to Taylor Swift.

It was also untrue, she was already a hugely successful recording artist before you ruined her award-winning moment.

As news of this new vile slur spread, and anger erupted on social media led by Taylor’s brother, you decided that attack was the best form of defence.

You went on another Twitter rampage in which you declared that you’d cleared this lyric with Taylor. In fact, it was all HER idea.

Wow, really? That would change everything.

No, not really.

Taylor’s representatives quickly made it very clear that your claims are a pack of lies.

1) She hadn’t in fact approved any such lyric.

2) She didn’t even know about the ‘I made that b*tch famous’ part,.

3) She specifically ‘cautioned’ you about ‘releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.’

As always when hoisted by your own petard, Kanye, you chose to blame everyone else for failing to understand you.

‘Stop trying to demonize real artist,’ you raged, ‘that’s why music’s so f***ing watered down right now. They want to control us with money and perception and mute the culture.’

No mate, with the greatest of respect, that’s a load of old c-rap.

Nobody’s demonizing any artist around here.

We just find your recent public behaviour towards women profoundly wrong.

You can say what you like in private, that’s your business.

But when you go on a global platform like Twitter and act like a slathering pig, it’s our right to say: ‘Shut the **** up Kanye.’

I’m astonished that your wife Kim doesn’t stop you doing this.
Despite all the mockery she gets, I’ve always admired her for being a hard-working, empowered, independent woman.

Why would she enjoy seeing her husband berating other hard-working, empowered, independent women in such a degrading way?

You insisted in one of your latest blizzard of tweets, ‘I asked my wife for her blessings and she was cool with it.’

Hmmm, I find that very hard to believe frankly.

Kim’s ‘cool’ with you suggesting you want to have sex with Taylor Swift? Kim’s ‘cool’ with you calling Taylor a ‘b*tch?’

In fact, Kim’s not just ‘cool’ with it, she offered her ‘blessings’?

If she did, then Kim’s let herself down almost as much as you have.

More to the point, you’ve both let your children down.

Why would you want them to think that’s how men should speak about women in public?

I’m disappointed in you, Kanye.

You’re better than this.

It’s not ‘cool’ to be so overtly offensive to women.

Not now you’re a husband and father.

Grow Up!

Piers Morgan backs Kim Kardashian, says 'The snobs can all kiss Kim's butt'

Kim Kardashian  has been criticized by half of the world for totally posing nude for Paper magazine, but there's someone who has her back and has written a piece to support her action. British journalist, TV host and Editor-at-Large of MailOnline, "Piers Morgan". He says all Kim's 'haters' can kiss her ass because she has done nothing wrong. Read his article which was published on the UK Daily Mail, below

The tweet crashed into my feed like a teasing tornado. ‘You can’t un-see this: Kim Kardashian shows off her famous backside,’ it read.
For once, the tease more than lived up to its promise. As with Man landing on the Moon, Mandela walking free from his prison cell, and Derek Jeter’s winning hit in his last game at Yankee Stadium - it was a photograph that will be forever etched in the memory.
I clicked on the link – how could any red-blooded male NOT click on that link? – and there she was, butt naked and balancing a champagne glass on same said butt, splashed across the front cover of PAPER magazine with the headline: ‘BREAK THE INTERNET, KIM KARDASHIAN’.


Which is exactly what she nearly did as the startled world scrambled to view, disseminate, debate and deliberate over the single most examined and infamous derriere in history. (A bold claim, but think about it and I’m right).
Predictably, the abuse and ridicule began to pour in as fast as the gasps of shock, awe and admiration.
Ms Kardashian-West was apparently a ‘slut’, a ‘terrible mom’, a ‘disgrace to the human race,’ ‘a dumb, trashy b***h’ etc.
Of course, she’s heard it all before, ever since that sex tape was leaked and propelled her into the kind of instant, gigantic cyberspace notoriety that can either crush a woman or make her so strong and impervious to criticism that she builds a $1 billion brand.
Kim’s in the latter category and people hate her for it.
They resent her global fame, her immense wealth, her marriage to one of the world’s most brilliant music icons. Above all, they loathe her resolute refusal to bow to all the bitter venom that spews its way in her direction.
It’s time for me to make a shocking admission: I like and admire Kim Kardashian-West.
I interviewed her soon after I joined CNN and found her to be a warm, unpretentious, honest and rather charming young lady.
When I mockingly asked her to name a single talent she possessed, she smiled knowingly and made no attempt to cite one.
But then she thought about it more and said: ‘Actually, I think being an entrepreneur is a skill, marketing is a skill, and so is fashion designing. My sisters and I are smart enough to understand that having a successful reality TV show is just a platform for people to get to know us on a personal level. 
‘But for us, we’ve always been about the business – selling our fragrances, shoe lines, clothes. And we’ve always been about hard work.’


As for her roundly condemned status as a role model, she told me with calm conviction: ‘I think I promote a healthy, natural body image.’
She admitted to using Botox, Spanx and the odd piece of masking tape to aid the daunting red carpet process. But she insisted she’d never had plastic surgery, and was happy and confident with how she looks.
I have studied her face close up and seen nothing to contradict this; Kim’s a natural beauty.
She also revealed she gives away 10% of her income to charity. That, as you can imagine, is a lot of money.
In a stunning illustration of her power, I ended the interview by asking her to look down the camera and order her Twitter followers to follow me. They did, over 60,000 of them in 20 minutes.
Since then, I’ve met her a few more times at parties. She’s always exactly the same – friendly, chatty, and completely lacking in the searing insincerity and delusions of grandeur that so many stars with ‘real talent’ exude.
There’s also an absurd hypocrisy with regard to which female celebrities are allowed to bare their flesh without criticism.
When Keira Knightley stripped topless recently, she explained it was strictly to make a protest against air-brushing. Hmmm.
When Rihanna, Madonna or Beyonce gyrate their booties on stage, it’s done in the name of ‘art’.
When all the supermodels got their kit off for PETA, it was excused under the banner of ‘helping the animals’ .
When Demi Moore posed naked and pregnant, it was applauded, not castigated, because she’s a great actress and the photo appeared on the cover of prestigious Hollywood bible, Vanity Fair.
When Chelsea Handler does it, which seems to be every day at the moment to diminishing laws of aesthetic return, it’s heralded as ‘comedy genius’.
But when Kim Kardashian-West does it, in a photo session conducted by highly acclaimed French photographer Jean-Paul Goude, she is lambasted.
She’s 5ft 3in, has spectacular curves in all the wrong places if you’re a Size Zero catwalk star, and can’t sing, dance, act, paint or play the violin.
Yet she survives and thrives because millions of young people around the world find her both real and someone they can relate to. They appreciate that she’s got a very smart eye for business, fashion, television and social media. And an even smarter eye for self-publicity and nurturing her brand.
Kim doesn’t take drugs, get drunk, fall out of clubs, cheat on her man, or do any of the other insanely louche things that stars with far greater ‘talent’ often do.
She works ridiculously hard, is good to her fans, and is by all accounts a good, loving daughter, sister, wife and now mom herself.
She was also, lest we forget, pursued, wooed, and won by a genius who professes (and I believe him) to love Kim for her mind as much as her coveted body.
Kanye West’s reaction to this wife’s latest controversial cover photo was to simply tweet this: #ALLDAY.
We knew what he meant.
Oh, and nobody can call her talentless any more either.
As she herself tweeted: ‘And they say I don’t have talent – try balancing a champagne glass on your ass! LOL.’
I laughed out loud at that comment, just as I did when I first saw these new photos. She’s a cheeky little minx at the top of her game.
Kim Kardashian-West’s laughing all the way to the bank. And all you lazy, snide, snobbish, patronising and hypocritical critics can go kiss her ass – there’s plenty of room.
