One Direction

Archive: September, 2012

Liam splits with Danielle.

Zayn cheats on Perrie.

Wild-child Harry gets another tattoo.

Harry and Louis are a gay couple.

Zayn is becoming detached from the rest of the lads and wants to leave.

These are just some of the rumours/facts that have been circulating for the last few months, and if sources are to be believed, One Direction are on the verge of a massive crisis.

What do we at One Direction News think of that?

We think it’s a load of rubbish!!!

Of course the lads aren’t splitting up – these are just pure tabloid rumours, engineered to sell a few papers.

The Daily Star has reported that:

“Management have banned the boys from openly sleeping with fans, getting drunk or smoking in public.”

The same paper says that the lads are: “sick of being bossed around,” and “They are young lads who want to have fun. But they’ve been placed under strict instructions by management not to do anything to harm their squeaky-clean image.”

Also, appearing on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man last Friday, an audience member said:

“It was obvious they weren’t allowed or didn’t want to talk about anything other than their album.”

They added:

“In truth, the audience watched uncomfortably as the lads refused to speak about rivals The Wanted or be drawn on anything personal.”

Regardless of this gossip, 1D are five young lads who just want to have a good time, and happen to be in the celebrity spotlight 100% of their lives.

Word up tabloid dudes, One Direction aren’t splitting up anytime soon!

(Management wouldn’t let them, as they’re all making too much money!) :)

Reports are emerging this morning about a possible new One Direction couple in the form of Liam Payne and Leona Lewis!

This comes after many sources reported that Liam had left his girlfriend Danielle of two years recently. Apparently, the One Direction lad is totally loved up with the “Bleeding Love” singer after only 2 dates.

A source said to the Mirror Newspaper:

“As soon as the chance came to ask her out he grabbed it – and they really enjoyed their dates together.”

They added:

“Although they were in London they managed to stay out of the limelight and are really into each other.”

The age gap of 8 years is nowhere near close to Harry Style’s usual rumoured girlfriends, but it’s still an impressive difference.

Liam has been very vocal about having an attraction to Leona, often hopping on Twitter to express that Lewis is in fact his “celebrity crush”.

Leona has said in the past that she finds the One Direction boys sweet but that they are little bit too young for her. Although after she followed Liam on Twitter they have grown closer, with Miss Lewis having this to say about him:

“I met [Payne] and he is just the sweetest boy – he is so lovely, so I’m really pleased everyone got me to follow him.”

Leona was previously dating German dancer Dennis Jaunch, but the pair have drifted apart recently, and talking about whether Liam and Leona would be able to cope with such a high-profile relationship, a source said:

“She would have loved to have seen more of Liam, but his career had to come first. It’s sad they’ve had to part. But you could understand why a woman like Leona Lewis would be able to cope with Liam’s superstar status.”

No word on whether there is any truth to the rumours, but it seems very quick for Liam to have moved on already, don’t you think?

Would you like to see Liam dating Leona?

Hmm, according to nearly every news site on the internet, Liam Payne has supposedly shaved his hair off, and this is the result below.

Apparently, Liam has done this for Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is a very nice thing indeed, but we just can’t help thinking there’s something a little dodgy about the below photo.

Here’s why we’re dubious:

  1. Why aren’t there loads more photos cropping up on the internet?
  2. We think it looks a little untidy – what was wrong with his previous haircut?
  3. It all seems to be a little too easy for the headline makers to write – “Liam Shaves Hair Off After Splitting With Danielle”
  4. 1D have only just released artwork for ‘Live While We’re Young’ and ‘Take Me Home’, picturing Liam with longer locks – would management want a drastic change at this moment in time?
  5. We think quite possibly this might be a photo from a while ago, so Liam’s hair might still be as it was.
Of course we could be totally wrong, and Liam indeed could have taken to his hair with some blunt scissors, so we’ll hold our hands up if we are, but until we see a better quality photo, we’ll treat this with a pinch of salt.

What do you think?

Look at this brand new pic below – someone’s been drawing all over Harry again!

We reckon in about 5 years our Hazza won’t have a blank piece of skin left on him – what do you think?

His latest tat is the start of a new sleeve he’s getting done, and in the above pic you can see him with his eyes closed – probably wincing at the pain.

Looking closely, you can see a black star, some funny masks, a birdcage, the words SMCL – and an ICED GEM.

That’s right, Harry’s got an ICED GEM tattooed on him. Right.

What does SMCL mean too? Current speculation reckons it means ‘Smile More, Cry Later’, or ‘Smile More, Cry Less’.

We think it actually means ‘Sexy Monkey, Cute Looker‘. Yes that’s much better.

We’re not sure when Harry got the tattoo, but he was spotted going in to the Shamrock Social Club tattoo place in Hollywood earlier this month.

Look carefully at the next photo below and you might recognise fellow Brit crooner Ed Sheeran giving Harry a tattoo. Yep, we never knew Ed was a bit of a tat artist either! It’s a little padlock apparently.

Hazza’s last bit of ink was the Temper Trap lyric’s “wont’ stop ’till we surrender, pictured below.

Harry Styles, a human drawing pad!

One Direction have continued their streak in tearing up the record books by dethroning the reigning video-viewership king, Justin Bieber.

1D’s video for “Live While We’re Young” has become the most viewed single video in 24 hours, knocking off previous record holder “boyfriend”!

Perez Hilton reported that the pair were neck and neck but at the end of the first day, 1D came out the winners with 8.34 million views on their video.

Bieber had to settle for just over 8 on his first day of release. Loser!

Now, Justin’s video has 155 million views, but that video was released in May. We are sure the LWWYvid will soon become VEVO certified because it ‘s bound to accrue over 100 million views.

What’s more, the previous record holder, Rihanna, was blown out of the water completely with her 4 million views for video “Where Have You Been” paling in comparison.

Despite releasing the video early because of a leak online, 1D have still come up trumps.

The single has also rocketed to the top of the charts around the world and can be bought as a single song or in EP form, where live versions of “Up All Night” tracks are included and club remixes of LWWY also get some love.

The physical download, less popular these days, will also be available in select markets.

Keep watching the video directioners and get those view numbers up and up!

He’s only 18 but he’s got the world at his feet. And seemingly a string of older ladies too.

One Direction have made a shedload of DOLLAR this year, and now Harry has decided to invest some in traditional bricks-and-mortar (which kids, is a very sound investment!).

Hazza has splashed his cash on a luxurious 4-bedroom house in a posh end of North London, and we’ve got a bunch of pics below.

(Anyone fancy photoshopping Harry in these pics? Lol!)

The party pad is 2,300sq ft in size with a big south facing garden, and it comes with four big bedrooms, three bathrooms as well as three reception rooms.

Oh, and it’s got plenty of space for Harry to park his fleet of cars ;)

The Stylator has been living in a flat in the East End of London but wants to move closer to his showbiz chums, Radio 1′s Nick Grimshaw particulary.

Read about One Direction’s takeover of Radio 1 here.

Harry, your house is like WELL GOOD. Can we get an invite?

Oh Uncle Simon, we can’t thank you enough for bringing us One Direction. It’s hard to imagine life without the video diaries, the books, the CD’s, the merchandise and of course the constant twitter stalking that we simply just can’t stop doing.

So we are so happy to hear Mr. Cowell has given his approval to “Take Me Home”, as the lucky mogul has had a listen to the album way before us little people get to hear it.

He took to twitter to say the following.

“I heard most of the new one direction album today. It really is a fantastic album,”

The Coweller added:

“I can’t wait for you guys to hear it. When you hear or see something you have been a part of which is fantastic you realise how important your partners are. I am very lucky.”

Simon is back to glory days when it comes to boy bands. He was involved in British group “5ive/five” (however you want to style it) and also Westlife in the early days.

But no one could have predicted the stratospheric rise to fame that One Direction has had and even Simon himself can’t believe it!

When asked if he thought 1D would be as huge as the have become, he said the following to MTV news:

“No! I mean, you know, I thought they would work as a band, but you can’t predict these kinds of things,” he said. “But it’s down to them. They’ve worked hard. They work really well as a group. The records are good. They’re nice guys to work with. So the world, right now, is theirs.”

The world is theirs. But more importantly, “Live While We’re Young” has been released. So shake out some coins from your piggy bank or check the back of the sofa and go get yourself the single or download it on iTunes, Amazon or wherever else you cool cats can get your hands on it, LEGALLY of course.

Show the lads some support and they might even break some records!

You can also pre-order the album at our store!

Dr. Luke! The superproducer! The glammy man behind pop music’s biggest hits!

“I Kissed A Girl”! “TikTok”! “Party In The USA”!

Dr. Luke knows how to sniff out a #1 hit, yo!

So when the Good Doc says One Direction’s next single from “Take Me Home” will be a smash, an “instant hit”…well, pull up a chair, all you 1D fanboys n’ even you haters, n’ pay attention to the man with the golden ears!

“I’m finishing up the mix today,” Luke confessed to MTV, about the track he’s producing for One Direction’s monster second album.

“They’re a huge phenomenon, and they’re good!” he said. Then he tossed out a tease about the next single from the blockbuster boy-band:

“It’s not uptempo!”

“It’s a song that some of my writers came up with. I heard it, and I loved it. I was like, ‘Wow, this is so good!’ I’m pleased to be part of it.”

“It’s nice when you hear music and you immediately like it,” Luke said.

But Luke…Luke! When will the label roll-out the new One Direction record? Reps for One Direction haven’t answered our calls for a release date!

Luke says he’s like everyone else: he can’t wait for the release of the new single. Then the world’s hottest pop producer disclosed a stunner, about the boys in 1D:

“I haven’t been able to meet them yet!” he confessed.

It was announced (but still rumoured) yesterday that Liam Payne and Danielle Peazer had called off their 2-year relationship due to time and work commitments.

A source said:

“He has hardly been able to see Danielle in recent months and the band have a world tour next year so it was only going to get harder.”

However, Danielle unfollowed a bunch of 1D related Twitter accounts and certain sources are saying Twitter trolls might have had something to do with their split.

Though Danielle was generally well-accepted by Directioners, she has been on the receiving end of abuse in the past – and perhaps the pressure of being in such a high-profile relationship got too much for her?

However, according to the Hits Radio, the pair are still together, so it seems that the split has still not been 100% confirmed.

Here’s a few Twitter comments:

@0hNiam
Liam and Danielle are still together. End Of Story.

@Louisnator
The moment when you refuse to believe that Liam and Danielle have broken up just because they were the cutest couple in the world…

@AnthonyLee59
Lets do this. let’s all calm down…take a few deep breaths and wait for an official word from Liam or Danielle. I am sure its just “gossip”

@1DUpdatesOnline
To every single person asking us the same question, Liam and Danielle have not confirmed the break up. Newspapers started the rumor.

So what’s the crack then? Have they split or not?

We need to hear it from Liam or Danielle themselves in order to fully know what the situation is.

Get excited UK directioners, because your favourite lads are staging a takeover of multiple BBC Radio 1 shows on Saturday October 6th, literally for the whole day!

Liam, Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry will be making shoutouts, taking calls and causing a ruckus when they pair up with existing radio hosts from 8am to 6pm.

The lineup is below:

  • 8-10am: Gemma Cairney & Liam Payne
  • 10am-12pm: Nick Grimshaw & Harry Styles
  • 12-2pm: Scott Mills & Zayn Malik
  • 2-4pm: Huw Stephens & Niall Horan
  • 4-6pm: Greg James & Louis Tomlinson

Unsurprisingly, besties Nick Grimshaw and Harry Styles will be pairing up for what will surely be 2 hours of laughs and mischief!

The whole point of the 1D additions are to honour and recognise the stations “Teen Awards” which will be taking place on the 7th of October.

What’s more fun and challenging for the lads, is that they will have to come up with their own content and produce their own shows for each of their slots. It’s 2 hours each to fill and there is nothing worse than dead air on a radio station, so I hope each of them have some brilliant ideas.

Grimshaw said:

“They have to learn to produce and edit by next Saturday – if [my producer] Matt Fincham’s done it, Niall Horan can do it too.”

If any of you guys are not in the UK, don’t stress! Log onto bbc.co.uk/radio1 and click “listen” during the alloted times and you willl have 1D streamed to your computer, tablet or phone for 10 hours straight.

WOW!

Out of all the One Direction romances, we would have said that Liam and Danielle were the least likely to split, perhaps behind Louis and Eleanor.

However, it seems that the couple have decided to call it quits after spending lots of recent time apart from each other.

The pair had been together since One Direction first competed on the X Factor back in September 2010.

Speaking with the Daily Mirror, a source said:

“They have split in the last few days because it has been more and more difficult to keep the relationship going with Liam spending more and more time away.”

The source added:

“He has hardly been able to see Danielle in recent months and the band have a world tour next year so it was only going to get harder.”

Liam and Danielle are still talking and have ended things on a good note, but it now seems that Liam is back on the market!

The Mirror continued:

“They ended things but Liam hopes they have left on good terms. She was the first real love of his life”

Though we think he’ll be taking a well-earned break from relationships for a while.

Maybe he can now join Zayn in late-night booty calls? Ahem.

We actually feel a bit sad for the pair, what do you think? Danielle was almost part of the band!

They’re like, BESOTTED with each other, and spend every spare moment together.

Perrie has a ton of her stuff already at Zayn’s swanky flat in London, and they spend most nights there, watching movies and eating popcorn ;)

They’ve only been dating since April but already it’s almost like they’ve been together for years.

Now, family and freiends are getting a little bit concerned that the serious nature of their romance might affect their careers.

A source told Heat magazine that they spend “every possible moment together”, and continued:

“They basically live together, mostly at his place because he lives alone, so they get more pivacy. She has half of her stuff at his place.”

Showing a different side to most of todays celebs, the source added:

“They’re not into clubbing and celeb hangouts. They’re joking that they’re becoming a bit middle aged.”

One Direction are beginning a massive bout of publicity to promote their new single and album, and friends want Zayn to make the most of his time at the top, saying:

“Zayn’s family love Perrie to bits, but they’ve made sure he’s careful not to settle down too quickly. They like Perrie and know the two of them are besotted with each other, but they want to make sure he lives his life.”

Despite the love they both obviously share for each other, it’s still early days in their relationship.

“Perrie has told friends that she thinks Zayn is the one, but her friends and family are also telling her to take it slower, as they’re worried she might lose focus on the band.”

Zerrie, we love you both, don’t go splitting up anytime soon like Liam and Danielle, but maybe do slow it down a bit!

Crystabel Riley eh? What’s going on here then?

Zayn was recorded talking to some fans, and inviting them back to his hotel. In the conversation you can hear him telling them to confidently walk straight into the hotel and right into the lift, trying not to “look like fans”.

Zayn tells the girl(s) to use a fake name – Cristabel Riley, and he even tries to hook up Harry Styles too, telling the girls that “they’ll get some booty soon”.

Listen to the phone conversation below and make your minds up for yourself!

What do you reckon to it?

We don’t know for sure when the recording was made, so it could have been from before Zayn was seeing Perrie.

But it sure sounds like Zayn might soon be in Perrie’s naughty book!

One Direction took the VMA’s by storm, scooping up some very impressive awards and wowing the crowd & home audience with an energetic performance. But Nialler took home a special…’award’ in the form of a Katy Perry kiss and as is the old cliche, he may never wash again!

He rang in to Kyle and Jackie O’s popular radio show recently and said the following of what must have been a very special moment for the star:

“Katy Perry had lovely purple lipstick on and I still haven’t washed it off to be fair!”

Nialler then got to enjoy some back and forth Titter love from the musical heavyweight, and the pair go way back because Katy was a guest judge on the X Factor panel when Niall got put through.

Actually, it came down to Katy’s decision. Imagine if she said no!

One Direction’s new album take me home will be “harder” than their debut, in the sense that it will sound more like a live compilation and more rocky. Liam also feels that they have out-done themselves and that Take Me Home, is much better.

We can’t wait to listen to the other tracks – but what version are you guys going to buy?

Digital or Physical? Yearbook or Standard…so many choices!

Moments is just an amazing song, and one of our favourites from ‘Up All Night’. Now Ed has been talking with MTV News about the new songs he has been writing for 1D’s new album ‘Take Me Home’.

Ginger Ed said:

“The two songs that I wrote for 1D’s album are, they’re the same subject matter as the last song I wrote for the last album ’cause they’re from the same batch of songs. They’re both about my ex girlfriend.”

Going deeper into things whilst still being slightly secretive, Ed hinted that one song he wrote may possibly end up being released after ‘Live While We’re Young’, saying:

“One of them is kind of a getting-back together song. One of them is an appreciation song. I can’t say the titles. The song that I think will be the single, one of the singles, is a very kind of sweet song.”

Ed might have his hands tied from saying too much – and with last weeks leak that resulted in 1D bringing the radio play date of LWWY forward, he has to be careful how much he says.

He added:

“It was wrote about the best things about someone, kind of like the things you wouldn’t expect. You’ll have to hear it. I can’t really say too much because it’s their album, I want them to be the first ones to announce it and stuff.”

Ed and 1D – perfect!

The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards was a great night for everyone, and probably a good one for non-expecting Directioners, who might have been surprised to hear US crooner Josh Groban singing ‘What Makes You Beautiful’.

Watch Josh sing 1D’s debut hit below:

The song was sung for the “2012 In Memoriam of Jimmy Kimmel”, and was slightly confusing for the watching audience, especially coupled with Jimmy Kimmel performing a comedy routine at the same time.

Josh tweeted:

“Ok sorry had to keep it secret. So much fun!! Happy to sing the 1D to the not-late, great Jimmy Kimmel. Will miss you everyday. Eventually,”

Live While We’re Young is tearing up the VEVO views, and its catchy riff is going to be a hit around the world and be stuck in our heads just like What Makes You Beautiful did last year.

But it looks like there are some striking similarities between the new track and a classic hit that was released before most Directioners were even born – because the beginning of the track sounds very, very familiar to The Clash’s 1981 smash hit, “Should I Stay or Should I Go”.

And we aren’t the first to hear the similarities. People have, unsurprisingly, taken to Twitter to express their feelings of what they feel is a blatant rip off.

“I do like @OneDirection but I can’t listen to their new song its just TheClash ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’, it really bothers me” one user tweeted.

“I wonder if The Clash have heard the start of this One Directionsong ??” another posted.

“So One Direction stole their new single from The Clash. Wow.” said another.

The irony here is, the opening riff of What Makes You Beautiful also had a striking resemblance to musical movie Grease’s “Summer Nights”. They both start off the same but as each song progresses, it becomes clear they are different.

We would like for you guys to listen to LWWY and SISOSIG (ooh sisosig, thats pretty cool) back-to-back and give us your opinion below.

This time two years ago One Direction were starring in X Factor themselves, and now they’re going back onstage again to perform their new single ‘Live While We’re Young’.

The song, released on radio stations all over the world on Thursday, will be performed to a big TV audience, and with the song set for a release on September 3oth, we’re expecting nothing but a number one smash hit.

Simon Cowell also wants to use the lads to boost X Factor USA, which is facing a big task to improve ratings from the disappointing first series.

A source told the Daily Star:

“He’s risked everything on ­making the US X Factor a big hit and it now faces the axe,”

“Simon knows One Direction wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the X Factor and he now wants to use their success story to save and promote the show.

They added:

“He has ordered producers on both sides of the Atlantic to book in the best guest performers for the live shows.”

Back to UK Factor, other acts expected to perform include P!nk, Leona Lewis, Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa.

He’s badmouthed Simon Cowell, X Factor, and criticized the treatment of contestants careers once they leave the competition, but that hasn’t stopped N-Dubz’s Dappy from coming forward and expressing a desire to collaborate with One Direction.

It would be an interesting team up to say the least.

Dappy has proven he can sing, we know he has musical talent, but his main talent is rapping. A verse of lightening fast rapping could be a welcome addition to the heavily pop inspired 1D tracks that we can expect in the future.

Dappy has said Digital Spy:

“I’d love to write a song with One Direction, they’re amazing, they’re a breath of fresh air.”

“All of their voices, they’ve all got individually very unique voices, and yeah, I’d love to sit in a studio with them if they gave me the chance.”

We would love to see what the Dapster could come up with, because all of the N-Dubz tracks were written and produced by the band themselves, so they are truly one of the rare real all round talents in the industry.

But something tells us that SyCo wouldn’t be wanting their golden boys to work with such a big hater of Cowell’s empire

…but stranger things have happened!

Hazza’s already got a plethora of tattoos, but afer performing with singer Angel at the iTunes festival this week, the Holmes Chapel lad apparently fancies another one, ON HIS FACE.

Angel, pictured below, has some cool ink art across his face, and Harry Styles has seemingly caught the bug.

According to the Daily Star, Hazza was proper interested with Angel’s facial art:

“Harry Styles was fascinated by Angel’s face tattoos. So he [Angel] offered to take Harry down to see his friend who did the tattoo and runs a tattoo parlour in Fulham. They swapped numbers.”

Angel, speaking with The Sun, said:

“He was asking about them and I offered to take him down to my boy’s parlour. He laughed and said he’d think about it.”

What do you think Harry looks like with the 1D logo on his cheek?

Robbie has been a huge supporter of One Direction from the very beginning, and the most visual display of this came when he was their celebrity duet in the final of X Factor.

But recently Robbie expressed that he was envious of the lads traveling around the globe and conquering the world. Luckily for Robbie, 1D have extended an invitation for him to join them anytime he wants on tour…how good is that?!

Robbie told BBC newsbeat: “I’m jealous of them and I wish I was doing it all with them. I’ve met all the boys, but it was a long time ago.”

Well in response to that, the boys speaking to Capital FM said:

Liam: “That is amazing. We are actually massive fans of Robbie Williams. And after singing on the show with him and stuff.”

Louis: “He can join us anytime. [The] invitation is there.”

Zayn: “He can join whenever he wants – he knows that. It’s cool.”

That will be one serious boyband mashup, with Robbie an off-and-on member of Take That.

We would love to see One Direction start exploring some collaborations, but at the moment it really isn’t that necessary, because they have the ability to sell records on their own. But at least an appearance on one of the live dates would be awesome.

Well it looks like 3rd place has its perks as well, because One Direction are laughing all the way to their bursting bank, with stuffed wallets in their pockets, with the five piece raking in an incredible £100 million for themselves and an additional £200 million for the record label – at least according to an updated version of that controversial Simon Cowell autobiography.

Some extracts from the book highlight the phenomeniall success they have had:

“Nothing had been left to chance by Sony Music, with the band’s hit album Up All Night selling over five million copies.”

‘The songs, publishing, discs, DVDs, merchandising and endorsements brought in huge profits, with the five members of the group together estimated to have earned nearly £100 million ($162 million).”

“Naturally, Sony and Syco raked in much more.”

Simon feels he is back to his music heyday, like when he and Louis Walsh shared great success with Westlife.

The good news is, 1D will still be making the big bucks for a long time to come. The Pepsi deal, world tour, new single and album and Hasbro dolls – just in time for christmas obviously, will surely be a huge money spinner for the 1D empire.

Keep up the good work lads, but spend and invest that money wisely because it won’t always be around in such volumes.

Fast cars, lotsa bling, that sorta thing :)

They came, they saw, they conquered.

Oh, and yesterday we heard ‘Live While We’re Young’ for the first time when it was released early on radio and YouTube – after a leak hit the internet earlier in the day.

1D went down an absolute smash at the iTunes Festival in London, performing their same routine from the ‘Up All Night’ tour.

They started off with ‘Na Na Na’, before moving onto ‘Stand Up’ and ‘I Wish’.

After that, the boys performed their little routine of covers, with Niall singing ‘Stereo Heart’, Louis singing ‘Valerie’ and the band singing ‘Torn’ – we wonder if harry was thinking of Natalie Imbruglia? :)

Next up we had the hugely emotive track ‘Moments’, followed by ‘Gotta Be You’ and ‘More Than This’.

A little break from singing then ensued, with the lads doing their impressions of each other.

Racing on, we then got treated to the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ rap, before Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall and Liam burst into ‘Up All Night’.

Then came ‘Tell Me A Lie’, ‘Everything About You’, ‘Use Somebody’, ‘One Thing’ and ‘Save You Tonight’, before the band moved onto their mega-worldwide-hit ‘What Makes You Beautiful’.

The last song to be performed was ‘I Want’, and the boys then stormed off stage to a rapturous applause from the thousands of lucky fans who got to witness the gig!

Wanna watch the whole gig? We’ve got the whole video below!

Everyone knows Harry likes the older ladies but we thought he was weaning himself off the cougars. Not that 37 year old singer Natalie Imbruglia could be considered a ‘cougar’, because even she is too young to fit into that category – but cradle snatcher could be a good way to describe it because she is more than twice his senior!

Harry and Natalie met at James Corden’s wedding recently and the pair apparently hit it off straight away, giggling away and cozying up to each other all night long. Other guests even commented on how the pair were well suited to each other.

They then went back to the same hotel together after the festivities and coincidentally arrived at breakfast the next morning together and at the same time.

A discernibly more embarrassed and quiet Harry apparently kept his head down in the morning with an inside source saying the following:

“Everyone was talking about how Harry was really smitten with Natalie.”

“They got on like a house on fire and were clearly very into each other.”

“The next morning Harry was given a grilling by the other guests. He was overheard telling one that he thinks Natalie is an amazing woman.”

YEOW! Talk about chemistry.

Natalie is a stunner but we feel this is probably just more over exaggeration of what could be a good friendship. Remember the first song that 1D performed together was Natalie Imbruglia’s hit song “Torn” – so maybe they were just chatting about that?

What do you guys think?

PS. Have you watched the ‘Live While We’re Young’ video yet?

Ok Directioners, we’ve patiently waited for it all month, and now here it is – the OFFICIAL VIDEO TO ‘LIVE WHILE WE’RE YOUNG’!

Today was the day that 1D released their first single from new album ‘Take Me Home’ and what a day it was.

Twitter was packed full of trending topics for both LWWY and Live While We’re Young, and the earlier leak sent fans going mental excitement.

Harry said earlier:

“We wanted our fans to see the video and hear the single in the proper way so we’ve moved the premiere to tonight. We’re really excited about LWWY, we’ve worked really hard on it and we can’t wait for everyone to see and hear it later today!”

Now, the song has been played on Radio 1 and Capital FM, and the vid has also been released.

The long wait is over!
