Piers Morgan

When Piers Morgan — one of Anglophenia’s 10 stars to watch in 2011 — replaces Larry King on CNN this month, the British journalist will need to tap into his A-list contact book to stand out. On his UK interview series Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, he charmed the likes of Simon Cowell, Susan Boyle, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Joan Collins.

But for his American chatfest, Piers Morgan Tonight, he’s aiming for the biggest get of them all, the first U.S. sit-down with princess-to-be Kate Middleton.

Morgan told TV Guide: “I am working hard on getting that interview. I’ve known William a long time and I knew his mother, Diana, very well. I had a memorable lunch with William and his mother when he was 13. I spoke with her regularly on the phone. I’m a big monarchist. I think a royal wedding is very exciting.”

That would be a coup: Piers outbidding the likes of Oprah, Barbara, Diane, and Katie for the Middleton interview? This man does not lack for ambition.

Piers has been on my shit list since he messed up Prince Poppycock. Still, I dislike him a bit less than fatty pig oprah.

Who cares?! The interview she did with Prince William was awkward, stilted and cringemaking. She looked and sounded like a Stepford wife and she stumbled over her responses to the workshy question and a few others…..that interview was preplanned and it was obviously clear that Prince William is the one calling the shots in that relationship….personally I don’t think Piers Morgan can hold a candle to Larry King but that’s my opionion.

I think Piers would be the perfect choice. She should go with a British interviewer.
