Piers Morgan To Become US Chat Show Host Lis Seddon 9th September 2010
By Caroline BriggsBBC News entertainment reporterMorgan is best known for his Britain's Got Talent judging role. From celebrity columnist to newspaper editor to judging tap-dancing dogs, Piers Morgan has enjoyed a varied career. And with the announcement that he will replace Larry King on US news network CNN, his transformation from Fleet Street hack to international TV star is complete.
Within weeks of being sacked as editor of the Daily Mirror for publishing faked photos of British troops abusing Iraqi prisoners, Piers Morgan had signed a £1.2m book deal, promising to dish the dirt about his time in newspapers. It was a sign that he was not going to go quietly. Since then - mainly thanks to his friend Simon Cowell - Morgan has carved out a hugely successful TV career on both sides of the Atlantic. As a villainous judge on America's Got Talent and its British counterpart, Morgan's name is a household one.Self-satisfied, smug and arrogant are just some of the criticisms that have dogged Morgan since his days as a cub reporter, right through to his latest celebrity incarnation. He has called his celebrity status "ludicrous", yet freely admits: "I want to be in the papers".Morgan was just 28 when he became editor of the News of the World in January 1994.In November of the following year he became the youngest national daily newspaper editor when he moved to the Mirror. He steered the paper through some of the biggest stories of the late 1990s - the death of Princess Diana, Dunblane and New Labour - but he was frequently criticised for intrusive reporting, particularly in coverage of the Royal Family.After the terrorist attacks of 11 September, 2001, Morgan decided to change the focus of the Mirror to a more serious news agenda, which was reflected by the red top paper's broadsheet-style front page on 12 September.The Mirror took a strong anti-war stance in the build-up to the war in Iraq and won the Newspaper of the Year Award 2001.Morgan proved he was prepared to take on anyone, even the then-prime minister's wife, Cherie Blair, claiming in 2002 that she had tried to get him sacked. The claim was denied by Downing Street. But it was Morgan's nod that led to the publication of photographs which allegedly showed British soldiers humiliating Iraqi prisoners of war in spring, 2004. He continued to insist the photographs were genuine even after the British army had claimed they were fakes. The stubborn stance was to be the editor's undoing. "I was frogmarched out," he said in an interview with The Times in April 2009. "It could have been done in a more dignified way, but it liberated me. "I would probably be dead by now, considering the pace I was going at."Since then, Morgan has been ever-present on TV screens, and has churned out several books.Morgan has become a regular fixture on the US party circuit. Rumours of his move to CNN began circulating earlier this year. Confirming his appointment on Wednesday, CNN President Jon Klein said Morgan was "able to look at all aspects of the news with style and humour with an occasional good laugh in the process".And taking over one of the highest-profile talk shows in the US is bound to delight the former journalist.Asked by The Times why he wanted to be famous, he said: "Where do I start? The freebies, upgrades, best tables in restaurants. I did a 'real job' for 20 years. Now I do a bit of judging and interviewing. People treat me differently because I'm a celebrity. "I couldn't give a toss about intrusion. When I get chased by the paparazzi I chase them back. "I want to be in the papers."
Piers Morgan was born on 30 March 1965 in Guilford, England. No time of birth is known so noon used.It is interesting to note that for a journalist and TV interviewer there are no planets to be found in any of the Air signs. Mercury, the planet of communication is in Aries and unaspected. So, where does it all come from? It may be that he has an Air sign rising or planets in the Air houses. Not having his time of birth limits the interpretation somewhat. But Mercury rules both Gemini, where the North Node can be found at 16 degrees, and Virgo from where a close conjunction of Mars, Uranus and Pluto is opposing Saturn in Pisces (and perhaps the Moon), making a T-square. This combination will provide him with a ruthless determination that will not shrink back from conflict. He is likely to attract it and be quite unpopular at times. The Jupiter-Neptune opposition is an indicator of someone with 'big dreams' , perhaps unrealistic ones. Deception and sleaze could be an issue here. I think it is the Sun-Venus in Aries conjunction that probably comes across as the arrogance we so often see. It says 'I love me'. However, with the quincunx to Mars and Uranus he may well need to make a few adjustments in that area. From February 2011, transiting Jupiter and Pluto will be aspecting his natal Venus making for expansion but also intense and difficult situations connected to financial and relationship matters. It will be followed by a square to his Sun, indicating powerstruggles of some kind.
