Former CNN host Piers Morgan spent part of Monday night tweeting insults about Cher's appearance, just in case anyone was wondering if he was still a classless jerk.
The whole thing began with a tweet from Perez Hilton asking if Morgan still hated Madonna. (Answer: He does, because she does not wear enough clothes for Morgan's satisfaction.)
A fan then brought up Cher, who famously refuses to let age dim her love for sequins, fishnets, and extravagant formalwear.To which Cher replied:Twitter is indeed a marvelous place. Where else would you get to witness Cher arguing with a British journalist about her right to wear fishnet stockings?Throughout the evening, Piers Morgan also tweeted about the recent L.A.P.D. shooting, which made for a bizarre juxtaposition with his public insults of a woman's clothing choices. It was a pure, textbook example of a man offering his unsolicited opinion on the Internet.Thankfully, Twitter monarch Cher came out as the clear winner here. Cher, we salute your always-appropriate emoji usage.
