This week, Lady Gaga wrote an open letter about her history with PTSD.

Then, Piers Morgan, as usual, supplied his Twitter feed with commentary on PTSD, saying that he believes it's only for the likes of war veterans.

This obviously didn't sit right with Gaga, and she tweeted Piers, saying that she has worked with many people on the issue, one being Joe Biden, and is thoroughly educated with it.

Piers believes that it has become the latest "celebrity accessory," and these celebs don't have anything concrete to back up their claims.

Gaga then said that if anyone in Piers' family suffers from PTSD, she prays for them.

And now, the debate is on.

This morning, Cruz Beckham's new Christmas song "If Everyday Was Christmas" became available to download on iTunes and Spotify, with all proceeds will be going towards a charity called Make Some Noise. 

The 11-year-old created new social media accounts to promote his intended singing career.

However, TV personality Piers Morgan was less than impressed with the child star, and criticised the celebs on Good Morning for trying to "exploit their family for commercial gain."

"There’s just one problem with all this: Cruz is only 11 years old and has absolutely zero proper musical training or experience," he said, in a piece for the Daily Mail.

"He’s only been able to release such a high profile pop record – all in the name of ‘charity’, naturally – because his parents are David and Victoria Beckham."

"Even by Beckham standards, pimping their 11-year-old son out to the pop world is a new low," he continued.

"For what it’s worth, I’d say that Cruz sounds like most other 11-year-old boys who fancy themselves as singers: fairly squeaky and quite annoying."

Harsh Piers, harsh.

Piers Morgan is no stranger to online controversy, but it looks like he may have really overstepped the mark today following his interview with fitness guru Joe Wicks,

Joe, who rose to fame as the Body Coach on social media, joined Piers and Susanna Reid on the set of Good Morning Britain today, and the viewing public are far from happy with how it played out.

According to irate tweets currently filling the Twitosphere, viewers were stunned by Piers' approach to the interview, and wasted no time calling him on it.

Joe, who has made a name for himself all over the world with his 15-minute dishes and HIIT work-outs, looked pretty uncomfortable at numerous times throughout his appearance, and Twitter was having none of it.

We all know Piers Morgan isn't one for biting his tongue, but when it came to sharing his opinion of Kim Kardashian earlier today, the Good Morning Britain host really let her have it.

Taking aim at the reality TV star for sharing a suggestive image of herself last night, the presenter dubbed her a 'slapper'.

Kim, who covered her nipples with her arms to protect her modesty, captioned the shot "Parisian Vibes" and Piers just couldn't let it go, so shared it on his own page and dubbed it 'Slapper Vibes'.

People were, unsurprisingly, unimpressed with Piers attitude, with many demanding he justify this disparaging remark.

"You need to explain to us how her getting naked with her body, posting where she chooses affects you," insisted one of his Twitter followers.

Responding to the comment, Piers replied: "I think it sends completely wrong msg to the millions of young girls who follow her that only path to feminist success is flashing breasts."

The 51-year-old insisted that while he likes Kim, he finds her contribution to social media embarrassing.

"I actually like her. But these incessant naked, semi-naked selfies in the name of 'feminist empowerment' are so dumb and cringe-making.”

The dad-of-three then went one further by pitting Kim against two other women in the industry.

Comparing Kim's snap to one of Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, Piers wrote: "Three famous women posted photos to the world this week. One is a classy, empowering feminist."

Well,thanks for that Piers.

We all know there's no love lost between Piers Morgan and Chrissy Teigen, but it looks like the online feud as finally come to a head after the Sports Illustrated model finally blocked the Good Morning Britain host on Twitter today.

After penning an opinion piece on Jennifer Aniston's recent thought-provoking essay, Piers suggested that despite the fact he has enormous respect for the Friends actress, he can't help but feel she – in some ways – contributes to the unrealistic pressures placed on women in today's society.

"It’s this: female stars like Jennifer Aniston deliberately perpetuate the myth of ‘perfection’ by posing for endless magazine covers which have been airbrushed so much that in some cases the celebrity is virtually unrecognisable," he argued.

And it seems his piece for the Mail Online was the last straw for Chrissy who tweeted: "@piersmorgan saw your piece on Jennifer Aniston. Why do you ALWAYS take the road of being the piece of s**t a**hole?"

"Particularly with women and people of colour. Tell me it's just for clicks? Please tell me you aren't TRULY this vile," she added.

"Morning, Ms Teigen. You didn't actually read it did you…?" Piers responded. "Try doing that before throwing another diva tantrum."

In a break from the norm, it looks like social media users were with Piers on this one, with one Twitter user writing: "I'd usually side with you, but he's right on this one."

"Please don't tell anyone, but I sorta see @piersmorgan 's point on this one," added one while someone else tweeted: "I am a woman and I absolutely agree with @piersmorgan on his new column. How can we preach body positivity & then edit out flaws?"

While debate raged back and forth online, Piers realised Chrissy had taken one very big step, and informed his followers: "And… she's blocked me. Hahaha. It was fun @chrissyteigen – come back when you can handle adult debate."

Ding, ding, ding!

In a move which not many people would attempt, former News of the World editor, Piers Morgan, took to social media yesterday to suggest that he may have a higher global profile than…wait for it…Brad Pitt.

That's right; after the Good Morning Britain presenter copped that he and the Inglourious Basterds actor were travelling on the same plane, Piers put two and two together and happily came up with five.

Tongue firmly in cheek while tweeting to his Twitter followers who number in the millions, Piers wrote: "So, Brad Pitt just got on my @British_Airways plane to London. He's in seat 6F, I'm in 1A. This settles my celebrity status once and for all,"

Acknowledging the broadcaster's joke, British Airways decided to school him on celebrity hierarchy, responding: "Ooops, seems like we made a mistake there, Piers! Any chance you could swap with him?"

Telling the airline that that wouldn't be happening any time soon, Piers sat back and let the Twitopshere argue over whether he genuinely did think airplane seat numbers were directly related to an individual's fame.

Lads, we're pretty sure he's having a bit of a lol…

Getting snarky about one of the world's greatest sporting icons following their death is a fairly big no-no in anyone's language, but it looks like good ol' Piers Morgan never got that particular memo.

Thankfully, one of the world's most popular couples wasted no time reminding him of this when he took to Twitter to slam the public's response to the passing of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Responding to Pier's tweet which read: "I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please" John Legend hit back, tweeting: "You could test us by announcing your retirement."

Proving she always has her husband's back, new momma and Lip Sync Battle host, Chrissy, added: "From what? Trolling isn't a job (I've tried)"

The spat escalated when Piers told Chrissy modelling wasn't a real job and she made reference to an ill-advised comment he made upon the release of Beyoncé's Lemonade.

The snarky digs and comments went back and forth, with Chrissy eventually tweeting: "My newborn just looked up at me and said 'Mommy, why is Piers Morgan so unequivocally douchy/' I didn't know what to say."

Chrissy 1. Piers 0.

While the rest of the world was left reeling by Conor McGregor's big news last night, it seems Piers Morgan simply saw it as prime opportunity to take a swipe at the much-loved Dubliner.

Responding to the UFC World Champion's shocking tweet which announced his retirement last night, the Good Morning Britain host slammed the decision and tweeted a less than flattering shot of the fighter.

"You're going to QUIT as a LOSER?" the always-provocative Piers asked in a sarky tweet earlier today. "Seriously?"

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users wasted no time hitting back at the 51-year-old star, with one writing: "Piers, how many people have died presenting breakfast TV?"

Other Twitter users were quick to suggest that Piers was only weighing in on the debate for publicity, writing; "The 1st time I've ever seen you even post about MMA. Dont act like you know what you're talking about old toad."

"You are a complete idiot!" raged another. "Crawl back into your hole Morgan, don't comment on anything you know nothing about!"

We doubt Conor could care less what Piers thinks anyway…

Most of us have seen the video Victoria Beckham shared on Instagram of her son, Cruz singing. Many were delighted by the sudden burst of unexpected talent and said Cruz was "the next Justin Bieber."

But now, Piers Morgan has slammed David and Victoria, saying that the couple are absolutely "shameless."

 

Super cute Cruz!! @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham #proudmummy X vb

Piers appeared on Good Morning Britain, and while the panel discussed the clip, the journalist said: "You get these celebrity parents and they bang on about protecting their kids and they go on about privacy and then they're Instagramming this 11-year-old to gazillions of people, trying to make him a star like Brooklyn is now a photographer.

"Can't they just be kids, really? Then when they leave school they can make their own decisions and if they want to go into this kind of thing then great."

He added: "I think it's shameless. We all go 'ah, it's that cute', but I don't think it's good for him."

Ouch. We wonder what David and Victoria think about that.

Hmm, not sure the couple will appreciate you outing them, Piers! Oh well, too late now.

Piers Morgan has confirmed in his column for Event magazine that Sean came up to him at the Help Haiti Home Gala in L.A. and told him that Charlize is a “keeper”.

Sean and Charlize have been seen out and about a handful of times now and also took a holiday to Hawaii together. Charlize was previously in a relationship with Irish actor Stuart Townshend until 2010 after nine years together.

Since then, it seems the only man in her life has been her baby boy Jackson, so we hope she is very happy with Sean.
