Piers Morgan's CNN Blacklist Expands to Include Madonna, Heather Mills, Keith Olbermann

Piers Morgan is cool with the Kardashians and Kid Rock, but the CNN host has a growing list of celebrities that he's supposedly banning from his new show.

Morgan told the Daily Express Madonna was simply "too Vegan for TV." He went on to say, "We have Lady Gaga now so Madonna is banned from my show." Ouch.

Liz Rosenberg, the Queen of Pop's publicist, fired back, telling PopEater's Rob Shuter exclusively, "Madonna doesn't know who Piers Morgan is, but she's a big fan of Lady Gaga."

But Madge isn't the only famous person Piers is barring from 'Piers Morgan Tonight.' According to EW's Popwatch, the outspoken Brit has officially uninvited other big names, including Heather Mills, Keith Olbermann, Cherie Blair and Howie Mandel, from ever appearing during his primetime hour.

Morgan claims he introduced Heather Mills to Paul McCartney at the 1999 Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards, where he brought them both to the event. "Paul takes her out on a date, next they get engaged, next thing they get married, it's all very happy and hunky-dory and then she takes him tot he cleaners, and I realized I'd pushed one of the world's great gold diggers in the direction of one of my heroes," Morgan said. "And as Paul puts it to his close friends, 'Thanks, Piers, you cost me 50 million dollars.' So for those reasons and by way of any tiny reparation I can make to Macca, she has a lifetime ban."

He claims his ban on Olbermann is just "a temporary ban, designed to confuse and bemuse him, and hopefully engender a violent reaction.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife Cherie is banned "simply because it would get violent. She would attack [him.] And Howie Mandel is "just too irritating."

Morgan sure knows how to stir the pot! The former 'Britain's Got Talent' host said he will allow Madonna to appear on his show only if she makes a "formal apology" for "all the grief she's caused [him] by being Madonna."
