Former Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten has come under fire after launching a bizarre sexist rant on Australian TV when the show's female anchor, Carrie Bickmore, asked him about the death of Baroness Thatcher.
Rotten, real name John Lydon, has been branded a “sexist, misogynist pig” by Bickmore's co-host Andrew Rochford, after his appearance on talk show 'The Project' on Channel Ten.
The disgusting tirade started with Rotten saying "missus, shutup", he then told her, "when a man is talking do not interrupt."
He continued, with his seemingly over-inflated ego, thus: "You're beginning to sound like excited children, you're talking to a proper master of the universe here."
Rotten is currently touring the country with his band Public Image Limited.
However, he has hit back at claims he's sexist.“It’s quite clear to me I’m not a sexist and I’m not a misogynist.”
He said that if someone interrupts,...

Ten is set to axe its ailing morning show Breakfast along with Ten Morning News at the end of this month.
Ten’s original Breakfast lineup
In a statement it said: “It is proposed that Breakfast and Ten Morning News will cease production on November 30. Breakfast television still represents an opportunity for Ten and we will return to the breakfast TV market at some point next year.”
Breakfast launched in February this year. But it failed to dent the ratings of market leader Sunrise on Seven or its close rival Today on Nine. While Sunrise and Seven generally rate an average of above 300,000 viewers, Breakfast never even came close to 100,000. On Thursday of last week, Sunrise rated 370,000, Today 345,000 and Breakfast just 47,000.
The original lineup consisted of controversial Kiwi Paul Henry, Kathryn Robinson, Andrew Rochford and weather presenter Magdalena Roze. Rochford left the show in June while launch Ep Majella Wiemers departed in July.

The executive producer of Ten’s ratings-starved show Breakfast is to depart the show after less than eight months in the job and less than five months after the show went on air.
Majella Wiemers’ last day will be Friday. She will be replaced by Sarah Bristow.
A Ten spokesman told Mumbrella: “Majella has resigned and leaves this Friday. Majella has worked tirelessly on Breakfast and she leaves with Ten’s thanks for her hard work and commitment. Her successor as Breakfast Ep is Sarah Bristow, who was her deputy.”
Wiemers’ departure comes a few days after the exit of co-host Andrew Rochford.
The show is now helmed by Paul Henry, Kathryn Robinson and Magdalena Roze.
While Seven’s Sunrise and Nine’s Today tend to vary between metro audiences of 300,000 to 400,000, Breakfast has languished at around 10% of that number since it launched on February 23.

Now if most TV shows accidentally aired a broadcast in which the interviewee was clearly slaughtered, people might be talking about it.
But with the ratings-allergic Breakfast on Ten, that duty falls to Dr Mumbo who happened to be watching this morning when the very merry man stumbled into their London studio to talk about Black Caviar.
During the course of the interview, Black Caviar’s barrier attendant Glen Darrington told Andrew Rochford that he had spent a nice day at the races, where happily it was Ladies Day. By the time he was on the air, it was well after 11pm in London.
Those looking online on Ten’s catch-up video service may notice there’s a gaping hole for what went out at 8.20 this morning.
When Dr Mumbo asked Ten’s press office for a copy of the video he was sternly told: “We won’t be sending it externally.
