George Michael Records Love Song for Prince William and Kate Middleton

George Michael is in the mood for love, and on Friday's 'Piers Morgan Tonight,' he debuted a romantic new single recorded in honor of Prince William's upcoming wedding to Kate Middleton.

The ballad is a cover of a 1972 Stevie Wonder track, 'You and I.' It's available via GeorgeMichael.com, where the British singer asks fans to download the song free and make a charitable contribution to the Royal Wedding Charity Fund.

"I'm incredibly happy for William, incredibly happy for his partner, and I'm absolutely sure that Diana would have loved the whole thing," Michael said. "I really hope she would have loved this track."

The pop star, 47, wasn't always so eager to sing for the royal family, as E! points out.

One would need a strong sense of humor to rebound after the kind of year Michael just weathered: He was released from jail in October, after serving time for crashing his car while on drugs last summer. He'd been found slumped over the wheel of his Range Rover, and admitted being under the influence. In addition to an eight-week prison sentence (he was released early), the onetime Wham! star was slapped with a fine and five-year ban from getting behing the wheel.

George Lopez Compares Kirstie Alley to a Pig

Kirstie Alley has gained some girth since her days on 'Cheers,' and George Lopez isn't about to let her forget it.

Lopez launched an attack on the 'DWTS' star's fuller figure on 'Lopez Tonight,' saying of her first performance, "She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away."

While Alley declared on Twitter, "lost 60 lbs before DWTS... Haven't weighed in three weeks but sure I've lost over 10 more," Lopez kept the barbs about her weight coming.
"Before the show, she went to the market and then she had roast beef," said Lopez, alluding to a line from the classic nursery rhyme 'This Little Piggy.' Lopez followed this up with a commercial featuring an animated pig, saying, in case the joke wasn't clear enough, that it looked like Alley.

Despite the jabs, the actress has remained in good spirits, telling her Twitter followers, "You are all saying such sweet and complementary things to me... Thank u all so much.. I feel like Cinderella tonight."

George Lopez Apologizes to Kirstie Alley on Twitter

George Lopez made some nasty comparisons between Kirstie Alley and an animal earlier this week, but now it's Lopez who's got his tail between his legs.

Following Alley's debut on 'Dancing With the Stars,' Lopez compared the actress's routine to a pig with "little hooves tapping away." Lopez followed up his insensitive comment by joking, "Before the show, she went to the market and then she had roast beef," and playing a video of a pig in a car, alleging that it was Alley.

While Alley seemed unfazed by Lopez's nasty remarks, her fans rallied in support of the actress and her dancing skills and slammed Lopez for his malicious behavior.

It seems that Lopez took the message to heart. Yesterday, the comedian apologized to the actress via Twitter, writing, "I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie."
Despite his contrition, it doesn't seem that Alley is willing to let Lopez's bad behavior slide.

The actress took to Twitter yesterday to impart some wisdom to her offended fans, writing, "Don't worry about George's comments...just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf (sic)...falls in a boiling pot of vodka.Piggy laughs."

But the former 'Cheers' star wasn't finished. The actress followed up her initial tweet by responding to Lopez directly, making fun of the comedian for accepting a kidney from his wife and later divorcing her. Alley wrote:
