One Direction

It seems One Direction's Niall Horan and superstar singer Ariana Grande can’t get enough of each other this week.

Fresh on the back of his split from his Australian girlfriend of three months (nope, he doesn't waste much time), the young musicians have certainly been getting seriously cosy. 

On Monday night, the duo were spotted partying together after Ariana’s gig at the O2 in London, which fuelled rumours that Horan-Grande sparks were flying.

And 21-year-old Ariana was seen leaving Niall’s London home at 3am on Wednesday morning, although her rep was eager to point out she was one of many guests attending a soiree there.

The official line? Spokespeople on both sides insist absolutely that they are not dating – offering the "just friends" tag by way of an explanation. 

Still, it is now being further reported that the One Direction heartthrob made a return visit to his friend on Wednesday evening – he was spotted calling into her London hotel room.

The pair also shared a VIP shopping trip at luxury department store Harrod's on the same evening, with Ariana taking to Instagram to share a picture of her purchases.

Tonight, Niall and the rest of the band are in Cardiff as part of their On The Road Again tour. Meanwhile, Ariana plays another gig in London tomorrow evening before she moves on to Glasgow to perform there. 

The Florida-native split from rapper Big Sean in late April and has been since single.

Zayn Malik might be doing his best to make things up to his fiancée Perrie Edwards after a rocky start to the year, but it looks like someone's just put a spanner in the works.

Back in March, Zayn abruptly quit One Direction just days 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 cheated on his girlfriend of four years, Little Mix singer Perrie.

Last week we reported that Lauren was getting ready to tell her side of the story as part of reality TV show Love Island, and now that promotion for the show's new series has begun, there's no escaping the fact that the blonde fan is about to dish the dirt. 

Last night ITV released the first official photo of Lauren as a Love Island contestant, and revealed that she is ready to set the record straight on the "long story" behind the photos of herself and Zayn.

Describing herself as a "down to earth girl," Lauren teased her appearance on the show by saying, "I met Zayn in a nightclub in Thailand. It all got blown out of proportion. But that's a long story."

The new series kicks off on Sunday, and will see six single girls and six single guys being flown to a luxury villa in Mallorca to see if they can find love. Other contestants include former Miss England Rachel Christie, Page Three model Jessica Hayes, and former pro footballer Luis Morrison.

During the show, Lauren is expected to take part in an in-depth interview with host Caroline Flack, during which she will no doubt reveal the truth behind what happened with Zayn.

For Zayn's sake, and for Perrie's, we hope she has nothing too scandalous to share.

It's been over two months since Zayn Malik shocked fans all over the world by quitting One Direction for good in the middle of their world tour.

The singer, who was an unknown before competing in the 2010 series of The X Factor when One Direction first began, said he wanted to be able to live a "normal" life again.

Over the last 24 hours though, fans have been sent into overdrive on Twitter with the rumour that Zayn might be returning to 1D.

The speculation started when hundred of Twitter users in Brazil started tweeting with the hashtag #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn. The hashtag soon started trending worldwide as other fans picked up on the rumour.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no truth in the news, as the hashtag was later revealed to have been started by one over-zealous fan who was watching a One Direction documentary segment on popular Brazilian TV show Multishow.

One user later tweeted in Portuguese that the news was indeed a hoax, but by that stage the story had already gone viral:

This Friday marks One Direction's first show on this side of the world as a foursome, as they take to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for two nights on June 5th and 6th. The lads will also play Dublin for three nights in October.

Much as we would love to see all five 1Ders back on stage together, for now it seems it's just a pipe dream.

It hasn't been the best year for the love lives of the One Direction lads, but we're hoping one couple can survive the distance.

Back in March, Zayn Malik quit the band following allegations he had cheated on his fiancée Perrie Edwards with a fan in Thailand, while just a week beforehand, Louis Tomlinson called his quits with his girlfriend of four years, Eleanor Calder.

Showing he's not about to let all the negativity get him down, Liam Payne recorded a brilliant video with his longtime girlfriend Sophia Smith last night, taking off the iconic Friends scene in which Rachel tells Ross they are "SO OVER." 

We have to say, Liam's Ross Gellar impersonation is pretty damn impressive…

 

I love this app aha #friends #ross #Rachel

Liam and Sophia have clearly been making the most of their free time together, as One Direction enjoy a break from touring for a few weeks.

The band finished up the Australian and Asian legs of their On The Run tour last month, and have a clear schedule until kicking off the first of their European gigs next month.

Over the last week, the loved-up couple have been holidaying in the south of France, where they checked out the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco and even enjoyed a short cruise with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green and Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell.

Liam has made no secret of how smitten he still is with Sophia, often taking to social media to let her know he misses her when the pair are not together:

We reckon these two are in it for the long haul.

Now that Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's wedding has finally happened, we're waiting for an announcement from our other favourite celebrity couple, Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards.

The pair have been engaged since 2013 and with Zayn enjoying some free time after quitting One Direction, we've been hoping the lovebirds would finally reveal their wedding date.

Even Perrie herself seemed to have weddings on the brain earlier today when she shared this snap of herself in a white princess-style gown that seemed like the perfect choice for her big day.

 

A photo posted by Perrie Edwards (@perrieeele) on

The photo got Perrie's fans very excited indeed, with one commenter writing, "Oooomg its so beautiful" and another adding, "Let's get married!"

Unfortunately the caption on the post revealed that the white gown was in fact Perrie's old prom dress, which is a pity because we reckon it would look just as good for a fairytale wedding.

Despite getting all of our hopes up, Perrie revealed in an interview this week that she and Zayn are still in the planning stages of their wedding and don't have any date set yet.

"I don’t know when the wedding will be. We’re still planning it but I’m so busy with Little Mix now," she admitted to The Sun.

"Me and Zayn want it to be perfect, so as soon as I have a bit of time we’ll plan it. I doubt it will be this summer."

She might not be about to walk down the aisle just yet, but Perrie said she is loving having more time with her fiancé these days. "It’s nice to see more of him [Zayn] now," she told the newspaper. "We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, he’s a great chef."

So no wedding on the cards for Zayn, but maybe a career change?!

An old Mexican game has become this week's Kylie Jenner lip craze – dominating social media and spooking just about everyone into a frenzy.

And while there are no reports of the Charlie Charlie challenge resulting in bruised and bleeding lips, it's definitely just as captivating as its predecessor.

It involves nabbing a friend, and drawing a horizontal line crossed with a vertical line on a sheet of paper, writing 'yes,' and 'no' in the resulting squares. You next balance two pencils into a cross shape over your illustration.

In tandem, you and your friend then ask aloud: “Charlie, Charlie, can we play?” If the top pencil tilts upwards or inwards, then the mythical being that is Charlie wants to have a chat. If nothing moves, then he's not feeling particularly sociable. 

Millions have lately been trying out the craze; leading to some seriously terrified (not to mention hilarious) responses – and all captured on video too. 

Predictably, some social media users have adopted a more light-hearted approach, asking, for example, if Justin Bieber will release a new album this year, or if they should have pizza for their dinner. 

One Direction fans have even been placing the faces of each of the four members of the boyband in the squares instead of 'yes and no', subsequently querying which one they'll end up marrying.

It has been a crazy few months for Zayn Malik; first, leaving One Direction, then facing backlash from fans and a former band mate. We are not surprised to learn then, that Zayn’s family are concerned for his wellbeing.

As producer Naughty Boy’s tweets and Instagram photos have shown, Zayn has been hitting the studio to record some solo and collaborative material, but if reports are anything to go by, the 22-year-old is putting himself under a lot of pressure.

Sources have this weekend revealed that Zayn’s hectic and ‘incessant’ schedule has proven a major cause for concern by his loved ones, who are worried that he may be pushing himself too far under the media scrutiny.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: “Since leaving One Direction, Zayn has been working incessantly on his solo career, holing up in a West London studio for hours upon end. You have to admire his drive and determination with his efforts to go it alone, and any minute he has spare he’s there.”

“His family and friends are a little concerned that he’s pushing himself too hard. After all, his stress was work-related, and he was advised to take a much longer break,” they added.

These comments come just days after Zayn’s former band mate Liam Payne admitted that Zayn quit the band to focus on his relationship with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards.

Let’s hope that Zayn is looking after himself.

Uh-oh… Perrie has been spotted without her engagement ring again.

The Little Mix singer was with her bandmates in London earlier today for an in-studio chat with Capital FM’s Lisa Snowdon and Dave Berry.

As always, the 21-year-old looked laid-back and gorgeous – but notably absent from her left hand was the diamond trilogy that Zayn Malik gifted to her when he popped the question in August 2013.

However, she was quick to reassure fans that all is well in the Malik-Edwards household. “It’s getting cleaned,” she stated on-air.

“I feel naked, it’s horrible,” the singer added.

It's not the first time she's been spotted with a conspicuously bare ring-finger. Back in March friends were forced to dismiss any suggestion of a marital rift when she was seen out and about without it: they also stated then that the item was simply being cleaned.

Only this week, and also on Capital FM, former bandmate Liam Payne confirmed that Perrie was a big factor in Zayn’s decision to quit One Direction. “He wanted to spend time with his family and his missus. That’s cool with us,” Liam said.

Still, the last year has certainly been tough on the young couple. Zayn weathered further cheating claims, and then spectacularly quit the mega-selling boyband that had made him globally-famous.

While Little Mix promote their new single, Black Magic, Zayn is currently recording solo material with Naughty Boy.

It's been almost two months since Zayn Malik's shock exit from One Direction, and while the band seem set on continuing as a foursome, many have have still been waiting for an explanation for Zayn's decision to quit the group.

Many speculated that his relationship with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards was one of the main reasons he said goodbye to the band, especially given the fact that Zayn had abandoned the 1D world tour to fly home to the UK to Perrie following allegations he had cheated on her with a fan in Thailand.

Now, Zayn's former bandmate Liam Payne has confirmed that Perrie did indeed have a lot to do with Zayn's decision.

"Sometimes you have to move on because you're not enjoying what you're doing as much as you used to," Liam told London's Capital Radio this morning.

"He wanted to spend time with his family and his missus. That's cool with us."

In an official statement back in March, Zayn said he simply wanted "to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight."

Since leaving the band, Zayn and his fiancée Perrie seem closer than ever, sharing lots of happy snaps and funny videos with fans via Instagram:

The stars were out in force in Las Vegas last night for the 2015 Billboard Awards, and One Direction's Harry Styles definitely gave viewers something to look at.

One Direction were at the awards as a foursome, for one of their first red carpet appearances since Zayn Malik's shock departure from the band at the end of March.

Showing that they're still going strong with one man down, the lads scooped the first award of the night for Top Duo/Group, but it was Harry Style's reaction that really got people talking.

After One Direction were announced as the winner of the award, Niall hopped up from his seat to let his bandmates out ahead of him. In this video published by TMZ, Harry is seen jumping up and grabbing Niall by the balls before heading to the stage:

Ever the professional, Niall laughs off the no-doubt painful move and continues to hug the other lads. But we bet he's already plotting how to get his own back…

They may be moving on as a foursome, but Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis were sure to pay tribute to their former bandmate as they accepted their award. 

"This is absolutely incredible and an incredible honour," Horan told the crown, with Liam adding, "There's one more person to share this award with — and that's our brother Zayn."

We're glad to see there seems to be no hard feelings any more, especially given the worrying Twitter exchange last week in which Zayn warned Louis to stop making "bitchy comments" about his life.

We hope they can all stay pals in the future…

No doubt the news that One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson had split from long-term girlfriend Eleanor Calder gave fresh hope to fan girls everywhere; however, sadly, it looks like 1D’s mouthiest member is off the market again.

According to reports this weekend, the 23-year-old is currently getting cosy with American stylist Briana Jungwirth, with whom he has been spotted leaving clubs and holding hands on numerous occasions of late.

A source has been quick to downplay their relationship, claiming that they are merely “hanging out”, but the pictures of the pair getting close in a taxi after a hard night of partying suggest that romance is definitely on the cards here.

The latest rumours surrounding Louis and Briana come after a particularly crazy few weeks for the boyband star. Not only has he been getting himself into Twitter spats with ex-band member Zayn and his new buddy Naughty Boy, but Louis has also come under intense media scrutiny after being photographed partying hard while surrounded by a bevy of young ladies.

Louis was previously in a four-year relationship with Eleanor Calder, with the pair calling time on their romance earlier this year.

So, will Briana be the one to tame the wild Louis? We’ll just have to watch this space.

Our favourite boy band have come together for the first time since Zayn Malik's departure to share their feelings with their fans.

One Direction appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night and we have finally gained an insight into their side of the story.

After James asked Liam how he felt when Zayn left the group, he responded by saying: "Well I mean, you know, it's like anything, at first we were a little bit angry, obviously we were surprised, but we all kind of knew the general vibe that Zayn was feeling."

He then went on to say after anger they just felt disappointed.

However, the band aren't criticising Zayn's decision, Liam said: "There were certain parts of the job that Zayn loved and certain parts that he didn't, and if you don't like your job you've got to follow your heart sometimes and go where you need to go. There's no arguing with that."

Well said Liam. 

Louis has also opened up about the heated Twitter feud and after admitting he has never been one to bite his tongue, he said: "It's all resolved, all good in the hood, James."

The band said they never considered calling it a day after Zayn left and Niall expressed their love for the job and excitement of what is to come in the future.

You can also see cheeky chap Harry Styles getting up to his usual joker antics.
