Piers Morgan TRASHES Kate Moss as "Utterly Horrible, Vile Creature," Madonna as "Grotesque Con Artist"

Piers Morgan is often caught in the crossfire as guests on his talk show bring controversy upon themselves, as we saw with Kirk Cameron recently.
In this case, though, it's all him stirring the pot.
Morgan soke with the U.K.'s Mirror and didn't hold back on Kate Moss and Madonna. It's unclear exactly why, but you've gotta read these quotes:
Piers, Moss, Madonna
"Utterly horrific" is how he describes Moss, the British model. "If people actually knew what she was like, they would never, ever be interested in her."
In case utterly horrific didn't cover it. The former Daily Mirror editor claims that Moss is a low-class hack who literally kicks him at public events:
"She's just a real, spoilt little madam from Croydon. There's nothing wrong with Croydon. I was brought up near Croydon. But she's just a vile creature."
Madonna, amazingly, may have gotten even worse treatment from Piers.
"She's a complete con artist and those arms are just terrifying," he says, adding of her Madgesty's muscular physique, "It's like watching Conan the Barbarian."
"She's looking even more barbaric than ever at the moment, utterly grotesque."
Morgan says Madonna is like a "mad drunken aunt at Christmas," and "When I got the CNN job, I banned her from the show, permanently," he says.
"She responded by saying she'd never heard of me, but we know she's lying."
Remind us to call up Piers if we ever need some quotes on a slow news day.

The Bachelor Finale: And the Final Rose Goes To…

After traveling the world and narrowing down a pool of 25 women to just two, The Bachelor's Ben Flajnik got down on one knee and popped the question.
The Bachelor: Where are they now?
But before he could do that, Ben's sister and mother arrived inZermatt, Switzerland to meet both Lindzi and Courtney and to offer their insights to Ben. "Was there a girl that was more dramatic or that the other girls didn't like?" his sister Julia asks. Ben answers honestly about Courtney's behavior throughout the season.
It's no surprise that when Lindzi meets Ben's family, they adore her. But given what Ben told them about Courtney, that group's meeting is a bit tense at first. Julia wastes no time asking Courtney about her confrontations in the house, and Courtney explains that she put her guard up. The conversation is enough to win Julia over, and by the end of the day, she says she's blown away by the amazing girl Courtney is.
The Bachelor's terrible track record: A history of failed romances
After Ben has his final dates with each of the women (Lindzi has an adventurous day of skiing the Swiss Alps and a romantic picnic in a gondola; Courtney gets a scenic helicopter ride over the Matterhorn), it's time for Ben to make his final choice.

"The two women here are incredible women, but as incredible as they both are I can't help but think of one," Ben says. Unfortunately for Lindzi, it's not her and the two part ways. Courtney arrives next and Ben immediately tells her she has taken his breath away. "I promised myself I wouldn't get down on one knee unless I was certain it was forever, and I want to tell you that you are my forever," Ben says before dropping to one knee and popping the big question. " "Yes, of course I will," Courtney says. "I will love you forever."
Bachelor's Chris Harrison: The attack on Courtney you saw on TV was worse in person
For what it's worth, 49 percent of voters  users wanted Ben to choose Lindzi. Ironically, 32 percent wanted both ladies to reject Ben!Are you happy with the final outcome?

The Bachelor Season Finale: Ben Picks Courtney!

Offering up plenty of drama, Season 16 of ABC's "The Bachelor" has come to a close - and Ben Flajnik went against all odds by choosing Courtney Robertson as his bride-to-be.
The 29-year-old got down on one knee on a mountain in Switzerland last November with a Neil Lane sparkler, telling the brunette model, "What a journey, it's been an incredible road getting to this point with you through all the ups and downs we've encountered, real signs of what could be. From our first date in Sonoma when I felt like we were on this same path, wavelengths of sorts, where we kind of understood each other."
As Robertson beamed with excitement over the proposal, Flajnik continued on, saying, "But, I promised myself that I wouldn't get down on one knee again unless I was certain that it was forever. And I want to tell you that you are my forever. I have waited a really long time to tell you that I am in love with you more than you will ever know and this whole experience and journey has been worth it every step of the way."
Though the proposal sounded like the two were madly in love, the "After The Final Rose" special told otherwise.
When Bachelor Ben joined host Chris Harrison onstage, the San Francisco winemaker said the two called off their engagement after seeing the terrible behavior of Robertson on the show.
However, after the Ford modeling beauty got her turn to tell her side of the story, she explained that being in a house full of women “brought out the worst in me.”
Robertson later went on to say she felt there were trust issues between herself and Flajnik, adding that she felt "abandoned," but Ben wasn't going to let things end like that.
Before the special was over, he slipped the engagement ring back on Robertson's finger, saying, "I want to be with you. I love you. I’m not going to abandon you.”
