Piers Morgan slams 'talentless wastrels'
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2010 5:24 pmPiers Morgan has reportedly criticised celebrity culture, claiming that many celebrities lack talent.
The talent show judge, 45, made the comments while speaking at a charity event.
According to the Sunday Express, Morgan told guests: "The culture of celebrity has become a problem.
"You don’t mind someone being famous if it’s based on real talent - that’s why I like talent shows that encourage people to chase their dream.
"But what I don’t like is talentless wastrels who appear on telly just for the sake of it. I find Big Brother incredibly vacuous and it chips away at the mystique and magic of celebrities.
"The glamour of Marilyn Monroe was something to look up to and be excited by."
Does that include reality show judges?
