Louis Tomlinson’s father, Troy Austin, has been estranged from the boy band star for a number of years now, and as of late has gotten into some serious trouble with police.

People magazine are now confirming that this week he was placed on suicide watch while in police custody.

On Tuesday night in South Yorkshire, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and taken into custody. Reportedly he tried to hurt himself.

On Wednesday a hearing took place for Troy, 46, during which a prosecutor noted: “He has been reported as a missing person, and there were real concerns about his mental state and well-being.”

He had reportedly disappeared after an argument with his brother over a hotel they own together.

“Police officers located Mr. Austin and discovered he still had the vehicle's keys in his possession. It was thought Mr. Austin smelled of intoxicants.

A number of empty cans were recovered from the vehicle as well. He had bought the alcohol to pluck up the courage to kill himself,” added the prosecutor.

Louis, reportedly hasn’t spoken to his father in several years and took his step-father’s name after his mother remarried.

Louis mom, Johannah Poulson divorced when Louis was just five years old.

According to The Sun, Troy Austin pled guilty to the charge of drunk driving and will sentenced next month.

It seems Harry Styles may have had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction last night, with his cowboy boots believed to be the reason for his latest onstage fall.

It's only two months since a mic stand caused him to fall over on stage mid concert, and we were just about over that when we heard poor Harry had taken yet another tumble.

The singer was performing alongside bandmates Liam, Louis and Niall when he began strutting around the stage and tripped. Luckily for us, fans caught the whole thing on camera.

As with the last time he lost his footing, the hashtag #OhNoHarry began trending on Twitter, with fans tweeting the 21-year-old telling him how sorry they felt for him.

Somehow he managed to fall a bit more gracefully this time, unlike the previous fall which saw him stumble for a few seconds as he tried desperately hard to stop himself from landing on the floor.

There has been some positive news for Harry today though, as One Direction's video for their latest single Drag Me Down has gained over 2 million views on YouTube in just 10 hours.

This is the bands first video since Zayn famously left the band in March of this year. The music video shows the four lads training as astronauts as they prepare for a NASA voyage into outer space and they seem to be doing just fine even thought they are a man down!

Uh oh, Liam Payne got himself in a bit of trouble and he has taken to Twitter to explain himself. He especially wants to make one thing clear, that he is not a homophobe. 

During a concert recently, Liam angered several of his fans when he was introducing the One Direction song Girl Almighty. He addressed the crowd saying "This is my favourite song off the last album, and it is about trying to find that No.1 woman of your life."

"Which none of you can relate to, 'cause you are girls. Except for the boys in here – you know what I'm talking about."

Following this comment, a lot of people were seriously unhappy accusing Liam of disregarding same-sex couples and with several people calling him a homophobe.

Liam then tweeted last night in an attempt to set the record straight and appease his angry fans. "I am in no way shape or form homophobic that's a ridiculous thing to say and I'm not here to offend people so take it as you will."

The singer tried his best to defend himself but he was clearly put out by the whole thing as he tweeted "crap end to a good day"

Liam described that he tries his best to keep his fans happy but some of them just want to focus on the negatives. "So annoying trying your hardest to amke people happy in a show and you think about all the notes u tried to hit higher or a little sweeter."

He also went on to tweet his 20.8 million followers saying that some people take things too literally now a days. 

Liam's band mates have not yet taken to Twitter to defend him or set the record straight.

We would love to know what kind of conversations were happening back stage at this festival that is for sure.

The line-up for Apple Music Festival has revealed that super band One Direction will be performing, but it’s their support act that is making us all do a double-take.

Little Mix have been announced as the support group for the 1D boys.

That could be a bit awkward, no? Well, considering Perrie of Little Mix and Zayn Malik formerly of One Direction are currently having the most public break up ever, then maybe.

Although, in recent days it seems like the boys have been possibly taking sides.

​Zayn has been a very active twitter user recently, and started a bit of a row with DJ Calvin Harris.

Following this little spat between the two music men, former bandmate of Zayn, Louis Tomlinson favorited the tweet which was Calvin’s response to Zayn’s Taylor Swift diss.

Fans of the band who coined the phrase ‘Zouis’, were left devastated. These were the fans dedicated to celebrating the bromance that existed between Zayn and Louis.

Meanwhile, other peformers, who are not the midst of Twitter battles were also announced to play the festival.

Florence + The Machine, Pharrell Williams and Disclosure are also set to perform at the festival which fans will be able to view on Apple Music Connect if they can’t make it the actual gigs.

Speaking about the concert Niall Horan said:

“It'll be great to be back in London and we can't wait to perform for our fans in the Roundhouse and around the world on Apple Music! See you there!”

The festival takes place over 10 nights starting on 19 September, so perhaps things will have cooled down between the pop stars by then.

Last week, he was caught out liking a week-old snap on her Twitter feed, but it seems that Zayn Malik is playing his cards right: he nabbed an invite to Kylie Jenner's birthday bash in LA.

Held at Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood last night – where the woman of the hour was gifted with a €300,000 Ferrari – the newly-single singer was certainly smiling when he left in the early hours of this morning.

He was flanked by several members of his security team at the time of his departure.

For the occasion he wore a T-shirt with ripped pale denim jeans and white trainers. He completed his look with a blue camouflage bomber jacket from Louis Vuitton's latest collection. 

There's no word yet whether the former One Direction star will also be attending Kylie's main celebration in Canada this weekend – but here's to hoping that their friendship continues to blossom. 

Meanwhile, Ms Jenner is stepping up her Instagram game.

Zayn Malik does seem to be moving on quite quickly doesn’t he?

Earlier this week it was reported that the former One Direction member was catching up with Kylie Jenner on social media amid rumours that he broke up with fiancé Perrie Edwards by text message.

Now apparently he’s got his sights set on one of Taylor’s friends, Zendaya. The 18-year old Disney star has caught Zayn’s eye and he seems keen to spend some time with her.

According to The Sun, the pair have been in contact: "Zayn is talking to a lot of ladies very casually, but Zendaya is the most high-profile,” a source has said.

It could be something other than romance that Zayn is after however, as the insider also revealed Zayn wants to work with Zendaya. "He said they should get in the studio together."

Meanwhile, Perrie is not letting her newly single status get her down as she travels across the States with her band Little Mix.

The 22-year old has been enjoying the casino and party scene in Las Vegas, and sharing plenty of snaps on social media as she does.

When news broke this week that Zayn Malik had called off his two-year engagement to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, we felt awful for her.

Now though, we're feeling even worse with the news that Zayn ended things by text… the ultimate relationship faux-pas.

Apparently Zayn chose not to call or speak with Perrie face-to-face to call things off, and instead sent her a single text. In the two weeks that followed, the One Direction singer has made no contact with his ex-fiancée, leaving her to deal with things alone.

"He ended their engagement with one text message and in the two weeks since there's been complete radio silence between them," a source told Dan Wootton from The Sun.

The insider is definitely from Perrie's camp, too, as they referred to Zayn as "an immature little boy with no thought for anyone else's feelings" adding that it was "unbelievable" he would treat someone like that.

Perrie is said to be "devastated" by the split and had to rely on her bandmates to come to her rescue when the subject came up in an interview yesterday. When an E! presenter asked how she was feeling the 22-year-old replied shortly "I'm good, thank you" before fellow LIttle Mix member Leigh-Anne Pincock jumped in to say, "We don't really want to talk about it."

As for Zayn, he has been spending his time checking out Kylie Jenner's Twitter pictures and posting a series of cryptic tweets of his own.

"You just can't do enough for some people, I guess," he wrote last night.

A dig at Perrie? We hope not.

Could the One Direction lads be set to welcome TWO new babies?

Louis Tomlinson became the first band member to enter impending fatherhood when it was revealed last month that his former flame Briana Jungwirth was expecting their child. Now, Louis' bandmate Liam Payne has spoken about his own desires to start a family… but don't worry, we could be waiting a while.

This week Liam dished some gossip on his own family plans while chatting about Louis' new arrival. "I wanna have kids when, you know, I have the time but at the moment, life's so busy and I wouldn't want to commit to something like that when I haven't got the necessary time for it yet," the 21-year-old told Magic Radio.

Liam has been in a relationship with Sophia Smith for the last two years, and has made no secret of his love and commitment, but it seems he's not ready to take any big steps just yet.

 

Me and the most beautiful girl in the world 🙂

"That's my careful planning ahead," he joked. "But I'm more, well I'm always known as the dad of One Direction so I'm, you know, trying to plan life carefully."

Just yesterday Louis himself spoke about his baby news during the band's appearance on Good Morning America while promoting their new single, Drag Me Down. "I'm buzzing," he told host Michael Strahan.

First Louis becoming a dad, now Liam talking about it… could Harry and Niall be next to follow suit?

After a two-year-engagement, it's reportedly over for former One Direction member Zayn Malik and his fiancée Perrie Edwards.

Although news of the split has only been confirmed to the media today, it's thought the relationship ended a couple of weeks back. It was Zayn who called things off, leaving Perrie "devastated," a source tells People magazine today.

"She's been putting on a brave face as Little Mix have had promotion to do, but she's obviously devastated," the insider said. "Perrie's being supported by her bandmates, but she's really in pieces about this." 

Speaking about Zayn's reasons for the shock split, another source told Us Weekly that the singer wanted to leave the past behind him. "He just wanted to move on and start over in all ways," the insider revealed.

The couple got engaged in August 2013 and although they have always remained vague about when their wedding would take place, the fact that they reportedly purchased a house together just weeks ago makes the split all the more shocking. According to The Sun, Zayn and Perrie signed the deed on a £3m (€4.1m) mansion just outside London last month.

There's no doubt that 2015 has been a rocky year for the couple. Back in March, Zayn abandoned One Direction's world tour to fly home to Perrie, after a photo of him with his arms around another woman, a fan named Lauren Richardson, emerged online.

The picture was taken in Thailand during the Asian leg of One Direction's On The Run tour, and when another photo appeared online of Zayn holding hands with the same woman, speculation began mounting that he had been cheating on Perrie. He quit the band just days later, and while he and Perrie have presented a united front ever since it seems things just weren't to be.

The pair are both currently in Los Angeles, but according to People's source, they have yet to see one another since the split. However Perrie has definitely been showing Zayn what he's been missing with a series of bikini shots posted to her Twitter yesterday:

Good woman Perrie!

There have been weeks of radio silence, but we've finally had not one but two confirmations of Louis Tomlinson's baby news… from the One Direction lads themselves. 

After Liam Payne addressed the rumours during a radio interview yesterday, Louis himself spoke out today about his upcoming arrival with stylist Briana Jungwirth.

The 1D lads appeared on Good Morning America just hours ago to promote their new single Drag Me Down, and the first order of business during their post-show interview was a discussion about the expectant pop star's big news.

 "Louis, from one father to another I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. So how are you feeling?" GMA host Michael Strahan asked the 23-year-old singer. Not seeming too fazed by the question, Louis responded with a genuine "Thank you," adding, "Obviously it's a very exciting time. So, eh, I'm buzzing."

Speaking on Magic Radio yesterday, Louis' bandmate Liam said he had initially been "shocked" by the news, but that Louis was taking it all in his stride. "Well, obviously I was a bit shocked but he's taken super well to it," Liam revealed.

"He's very excited with what's going on with him at the moment and I feel that stuff like that happens sometimes. He's taking it very seriously," Liam continued. Although they are no longer in a relationship, Louis and Los Angeles-based stylist, Briana Jungwirth, 23, are on good terms ahead of their baby's arrival early next year. 

The duo began dating briefly in May, just weeks after Louis broke up with his girlfriend of four years, Eleanor Calder.

First Louis… will Briana (or Eleanor) be the next to speak out?

Not too long ago 1D fans around the world were thrown into complete chaos with the news that member Louis Tomlinson was going to become a dad.

Since the news broke that L.A based stylist Briana Jungwirth was pregnant with the pop star’s child, there has yet to be a comment from the 23-year old himself.

Now band mate Liam Payne has spoken out on his friend’s impending fatherhood.

Speaking with Magic Radio Liam said that when he found out about the news he was “shocked”.

"Well, obviously I was a bit shocked but he's taken super well to it."

According to Liam, Briana is a “lovely girl” and Louis is “very excited” about the baby. Last month Briana’s father confirmed the pregnancy news but so far none of the band members have commented on Briana and the baby.

"He's very excited with what's going on with him at the moment and I feel that stuff like that happens sometimes. He's taking it very seriously,” Liam, 22, has said.

He was also asked about Zayn Malik’s exit and his new record deal with the RCA label.

Liam admitted that while hasn’t spoken to Zayn recently as he’s “off doing is own thing”.

He did explain that leaving a band is a very difficult decision:

"It is a difficult thing to leave the band, but his heart wasn't in it and you have to go with your heart and say I can't do this any more.”

He did say he is looking forward to hearing Zayn’s new music, saying:  "I'm dead excited to hear some of his stuff. I did a lot of work with him in the studio when he was in the band.”

Liam himself has written songs for Cheryl Fernandez- Versini and spent time in the recording studio with Pharell Williams but said that he won’t be going out solo any time soon.

“I love being in the band. I don't know if I could do it by myself now, it's all too comfortable."

Last Friday saw world famous boy band One Direction release their first single 'Drag Me Down' since Zayn Malik left the band. 

The 22-year-old left the band to pursue is own plans and he announced his new record label signing last week. 

We were all wondering whether Zayn would speak out about the new One Direction track or not, and we were so happy to see that he took the time to tweet the band saying he was proud of them. 

He said: "Proud of my boys the new single is sick. Big love. 🙂 x"

The One Direction song went straight to number one in the singles charts following it's release, which goes to show the band isn't suffering too much having lost a member.

While the band were getting ready to share their new music with the world, Zayn was busy signing a record deal with RCA records. He shared the news with a tweet, which some 1D followers were not happy with.

"I guess I never explained why I left, it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who I really am! #realmusic #RCA"

So he's suggesting that One Direction isn't real music? Ouch..
