As a former tabloid journalist, Piers Morgan knows how to sell books. That’s why he put George Clooney’s name in the title of his new memoir: “Shooting Straight: Guns, Gays, God and George Clooney.”
The CNN host told me, “I saw [George] last week. He laughed when I told him the full title and said: ‘How many of these words are supposed to apply to me?’” Not many, George.
Barbara Walters took Morgan to task last Tuesday on “The View,” complaining, “There’s one paragraph, one page on George Clooney.”
Morgan replied, “No, there’s more than that. You just can never have enough George Clooney. I know that. We all understand that.”
Walters said, “And you put him in the title, because otherwise you’re not going to sell the book.”
