Fans of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway will know that last week, the Geordie duo pranked boy band One Direction for their Undercover segment of the show…
This weekend’s victim is talk show host Piers Morgan, and while appearing on Daybreak, Ant and Dec have revealed that they roped in X Factor and BGT mogul Simon Cowell to dupe Morgan, and apparently, Simon’s “a very good liar” who played his part perfectly!
As part of the stunt, Dec disguised himself as a “fruity-looking” art dealer, while sidekick Ant posed as a security guard. In the jape, Piers is fooled into believing he’d ruined a painting worth £450,000… Read more & comment »

Louis Tomlinson has shown his nice side again, by speaking out in support of teen idol Justin Bieber.
Justin has not had the best week and after tweeting that he had endured the ‘worst birthday’ ever, he went on to make headlines for being 2 hours 40 minutes late for his first show in London’s O2 Arena, for partying hard and apparently throwing strops with his team, for wearing a gas mask during a night out and yesterday, for trying to start a fist fight with a photographer that was hassling him.

The One Direction lads, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan have entered into a war of words with chat show host and former newspaper editor Piers Morgan on Twitter after he had a lot to say about David Beckham.
According to MTV News, Morgan had “belittled” the football star’s career prospects as he’s leaving LA Galaxy.
Morgan tweeted, “No serious top-flight team would sign Beckham for football reasons any more – he should retire gracefully.”
Harry Styles then tweeted, “Beckham is my hero,” prompting Morgan to retaliate with, “Is that because he always runs in one direction?”
Louis Tomlinson then jumped in, tweeting, “I LOVE David Beckham!” Read more & comment »

Even thinking about Piers Morgan is enough to ruin anybody’s fun, so imagine what it’s like to be David Walliams who was bombarded by his tweets this week.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge was keeping all his followers entertained last night by publishing funny remarks all through the Olympics closing ceremony (check them out, they’re really amusing). One of them was an obviously sarcastic and he joked:
“I much prefer Russell Brand’s version of ‘I Am the Walrus’ to the Beatles.”

Piers Morgan has admitted that Simon Cowell’s constant tardiness on the set of Britain’s Got Talent, was often staged just to annoy Ant and Dec.
The America’s Got Talent judge – who used to sit on the BGT panel alongside Cowell and Amanda Holden – admitted that his boss could often be a ‘nightmare’ when they were conducting nationwide auditions. Always arriving two to three hours late and admitting that it was because he was lounging around in the bath, watching old cartoons.

Piers Morgan has thrown down the gauntlet to fellow former Britain’s Got Talent host Simon Cowell by challenging him to a twitter follower face-off for charity.
The CNN presenter was inspired to start the challenge after Irish bookie Paddy Power offered him 15/8 that he will have more followers than Simon Cowell by the end of this year. He took the challenge and told Cowell to put his money where his mouth is and take the reverse bet.

Piers Morgan is a good friend, always ready to have a joke with his pals….or take the p*ss out of them it would seem.
The former Britain’s Got Talent judge obviously struggled to buy a gift for Simon Cowell’s birthday – what do you buy the man who has everything? – and so decided to have a laugh at the X Factor boss’s expense instead.
Morgan revealed that for the music mogul’s 52nd birthday recently, he sent him a framed picture of his former protege of Cheryl Cole.
