That's quite an article - I've been a fan of Pierce Morgan and this is certainly disappointing...And it's too bad that along with it, it has to dredge up the McCartney/Mills divorce up into the media mainstream again, I'm sure much to Paul's chagrin
With the best will in the world, it is rather naive to be shocked that a former tabloid editor - who was a showbiz reporter for long before that - might possibly have been involved in some in some impropriety at some point! Having said that, we don`t actually know what Paul is talking about here, it could be unrelated to the Mills story. The only thing we know for sure is that Morgan did hear a tape of a phone message to Heather from Paul. How he came to be listening to it we don`t know.

I don`t support either of them, they are as bad as each other. It`s taken Heather ten years to complain about this.Why would Paul do an interview with Piers? Heather has done, though. Strangely, it was in 2002/2003, so she was happy to talk tohim after she says he hacked her phone.
Wasn't Heather just notified like the rest of the people that this person who worked for these papers were tapping her phones. She brought up Morgan now because his name was brought up by the parliament woman?? Who I suspect was a conservative and was trying to diminish Murdoch role by bring up Piers OR...Murdoch decided to through Piers under the bus. Anyway I don't think this Parliament person threw that name out on her own. I think she was fed the info to try and show it was wide spread. She apologized but I'm thinking she was forced to do that. She certainly left enough doubt to make Piers run around defending himself and now admits he knew more than he pretending. I would not be surprised if he wasn't the first to do it. So were you saying that Heather tapped Paul phones back before they were married? Cause that what it sounds like.. (I can't remember when they got married so was it 2001) or are you saying she did it during the divorce? I mean a girls got to do what she got to do. Sugar daddy wasn't given no sugar. :

I remember Piers Morgan saying he was the one who intro'd Heather to Paul...so Paul was on some kind of friendly terms with Morgan... 2001 means it was before they got married (which was 2002).

I think Heather`s name may have been mentioned in the News of the World phone hacking stories, but this is a separate allegation against the Mirror Group (not owned by Murdoch).Frankly, Piers Morgan named himself in an article he wrote in 2006 when he mentioned being played the tape (in 2001). It`s in his book that Paul knew Piers had got the story about he and Heather having a row and asked Piers not to run it, which he didn`t. This was all brought up again in a blog by someone whose name escapes me, and Heather then decided to wade in.Heather has actually named the journalist who rang her up (not Morgan), but the BBC have not revealed the name for legal reasons.The Tory woman has jumped on the bandwagon - although she has also said it is a shame that Heather didn`t go to the police back in 2001. Yes, it is very well reported that Heather tapped Paul`s phone after they split up, but the incident we are talking about happened prior to their marriage.

That's actually an 'aside' question I have...are we prematurely 'damning' Piers for simply saying he heard this tape or did Piers use/authorize the use of it for publication and making profit? I mean I've never heard anything about this supposed hacked phone call until these recent phone hacking proceedings began (of course that by no means the story wasn't out there - I work full time and I'm also a full time nursing student (as well as juggle family responsibilities)...so things do slip by me...LOL

I'm glad to hear today that Paul is talking to police and telling what he knows. It really about the top. That would be Murdoch. If all these stars band together laws will change and more than anything monopolies will tumble. Murdoch is wayyyy to powerful and controls too much media around the world. All he has to do is say the sky is falling and print it in every publication he owns and guess what happens the next day. Stock market would crash. And don't kid yourself. He backing Palin run for presidency only so in the final hours to pull his real boy out and try and get him elected. Which will be Jed Bush. I'm reading Piers Morgan book right now and it interesting how he mentioned Murdoch vacationing in Alaska. I wonder who what where and when. I mean Palin's rise to fame is one big question mark.. Nothing brilliant or even charming about this one. Yet her books deals (always been suspicious of book deals and politicians, nice way to legally transfer money if you ask me) Her being on the payroll for Fox and no one from Wasilla Alaska has the where with all to do what she did. It takes the right contacts to market yourself like she done. She is way to confident and doesn't do interviews. She got Murdoch protection..He trying to control American elections. She a decoy to who they really want in. The powerful Bush family.

The big question is- did Piers authorise hacking? We don`t know and he says he didn`t. I actually suspect this story is a bit of a red herring and more to do with the personal vendetta between Mills and Morgan. Mills was quite happy to speak to Morgan until he criticised her behaviour following her split from Paul.The voicemail could have been leaked rather than hacked. There is a big difference.

Piers Morgan didn't work for Murdoch's News Corp. He worked for the Mirror group. Face it, all the tabloids were doing it. If it is true that Morgan quoted to Pauls ex a conversation then he knew about hacking going on; if he admits he heard the answer phone tape then as head of the Mirror at the time then he is as responsible for the hacking as is the reporter who did it, whether he knew it or not.

It`s true, if the phone was hacked.He does have to be given some credit for not revealing the content in 2001 (if that bit of the strory is true). However, if Heather wants Piers charged for hacking her phone (or a journalist working for him hacking her phone), then she should also be charged for hacking Paul`s phone and then trying to release the contents to the media.

If it was hacked! As Femaleanimal said before it could've been leaked as well! And with Heather being involved, well, that isn't an odd thought! She's such a fishy person.... well, she and Piears Morgan are probably as bad as the other!

Tony Blair was godfather to Murdoch child. He was at the baptismal at the river Jordan .. Murdoch had his child baptized in the river Jordan. Odd place for a Aussie and a Chinese person to choose to baptize their kid.

Has anyone heard anything about this? Google: Piers Morgan allegations Apparently, a while back Piers Morgan (while working for Rupert Murdoch) had allegedly had Paul's cellphone hacked, among others. Are you kidding me?!!!! Grrrrrr! Say it ain't so Piers!! That's THEFT! It's called "stealing with your ears". I'm SO disappointed! Dang it Paul! I'm gonna have to buy you a phone that has a cord attached. Like in the good ole days... and you'll have to dial the dang thing too.

I totally understand the feeling there. My email got hijacked. I get all kinds of weird calls and offers trying to get all kinds of money I don't have. I hope you get somewhere in getting them to crack down on it. These hackers victimize a lot of innocent people who don't have much as well. love doris
