Morrissey Vs. NME - anecdotal development

Hey folks

i was in LA recently during the NME US Awards and this little story was doing the rounds.

Apparently NME's Editor Conor McNicholas was checked into a plush suite in an LA hotel that he did not know Morrissey had been staying in for a three week residency. When he walked into the foyer, Morrissey was there. Morrissey immediately walked off and got in touch with the manager, insisting that Conor should not be allowed to stay in the hotel and that Morrissey was the better customer so they had to be pick between him or the NME.

Conor got booted out!!

Question is, who is the bigger ass, Conor, for obvious reasons or Mozza, for acting like such a big baby?

Gossip? (Score:1)

I'd like to think that Morrissey would do something a bit more subtle, like messing with Conor's room service.

Still, if true, he's once again established his undisputed alpha-maleness.

If Moz did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Well you said it was doing the rounds... but you don't know if this really happened until it is officially confirmed by anyone from the hotel, NME or Morrissey.

Legally can they do that? Can the hotel refuse a guest service, simply because another guest has a complaint, or does not want that person around? I actually don't know.

It could be the Moz just did it out of spite...not so much as a "baby." And if you felt you'd been maligned in the press and had a chance to strike a vengeful blow, perhaps you'd do the same? Just tossing that out there. I think it's funny.

a little catty, but funny.

i think we could all agree it would have been a better story had Moz cornered Conor in the elevator and stuck him in the neck with a screwdriver...but i would think it highly unlikely that Morrissey owns a screwdriver

But I think the picture is unflattering. Moz might well have said to one of his private someone's "Get HIM out", but I doubt it. And I doubt even more he would have done it personally. He'd rather knee the fucker in the elevator, surely? x

I think it was rather appropriate considering the situation- and a three week re$$$idency? Yes, I would have done the same and with the quickest of speeds. Good for you Moz.
