So she's managed to piss off both Koreans and potentially British people too by saying she likes chicken and beer when she actually doesn't (shock horror!) then claiming her British nationality resulted in her thinking it was ok to lie. Good work.

Never heard of her and never want to. Also, the culture clash excuse is a cop out. What a silly cow.

Silly cow, indeed. That silly cow needs a good slap, not from me of course, from her mother - teach the cow some manners and sense. She said she's different...well, she looks the same as the rest of the plastic surgery, attention seeking drama queens.

All of this is silly. Wow, she lied about liking chicken and beer? She received a short lesson in yoga on a TV show, so now she must say she took yoga lessons or else she's a liar? Calling those things a controversy is a bit much, as is wanting to slap her for it.

There is nothing so trivial that some Dave's poster can't wring some indignation out of it, especially if it involves a Korean.

Read the article. She's a Brit and it's the Koreans who are indignant.

Pork pies = lies. From Cockney rhyming slang. Is it not in common usage?

Everybody likes chicken and that ain;t no lie.

As for Clara, she can lie to me anytime.

I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie

Ne-Yo
