One Direction’s Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards marked their first anniversary at the Eiffel Tower

One Direction’s Zayn Malik

The One Direction hunk treated the Little Mix singer to a romantic evening enjoying the views of Paris from the vantage point of one of the world's most iconic landmarks.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "1D are performing out there this week so Zayn flew out early to spend a couple of precious days with Perrie.

"They wanted to mark their first year together and it means a lot that they've made it this far despite their hiccups."

The Little Mix girls were in Paris to perform an intimate gig at the VIP Rooms Theatre on Wednesday night, so Zayn whisked Perrie off to see the sights after the show and spend some rare quality time together.

Zayn, 20, was accused of cheating on Perrie, 19, earlier this year with bar worker Courtney Webb, but the couple appear to have put the rumours behind them.

Perrie recently insisted the 'Kiss You' heartthrob treats her better than any other boyfriend she's ever had and insisted the pair shared a special bond.

She gushed: "Zayn is so lovely. You know things are good when you can't wait to see the other person.
"It's a sense of friendship. The main thing I looked for is if he's fun to be around, if I can have a laugh with him."

 

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards reveals she’s ‘engaged’ to One Direction boyfriend Zayn Malik

Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has shockingly revealed she’s about to become a One Direction bride as Zayn Malik has gone and popped the question.
But unfortunately for the couple’s die-hard fans, it was all one big joke.
Asked what the most romantic thing a boy has ever done for her is, Perrie cryptically replied, ‘I got proposed to’.
And then revealing it was indeed Zayn who had gone down on one knee, Perrie then quickly admitted she was just joking.

One Direction members unveil customized 'Scooby Doo' van

Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik posted a photo in front of the group's new Mystery Machine, an old bus tricked out to look like the classic cartoon ride.

 

The "Live While We're Young" artists will reportedly take the hot new toy along on their U.S. summer tour.

Pass the Scooby snacks, boys.
One Direction has a new ride, and it's ripped straight out of a Hanna-Barbera panel.

Members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik traveled to car customizer Yianna Charambous' shop to pick up a van they had outfitted to look like the Mystery Machine from "Scooby Doo."

 

The members of One Direction turned an old bus into a replica of the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo.

"Have to say a huge thank you to everyone @yiannimize for making mine and @zaynmalik's mystery machine," Tomlinson tweeted.

One Direction film explores fan mania

It looks like the mystery behind One Direction mania is set to be explained in the band's forthcoming 3D documentary movie, This Is Us.

 

 

The movie's director, Morgan Spurlock, explained that he worked with doctors to try and figure out "why" people are so obsessed with the Live While We're Young hitmakers.
Speaking to the New York Post newspaper, Spurlock said: ''We ask the question 'Why them?' We talked to this one doctor who tells us what happens inside a girl's body when she hears One Direction - like what happens in her brain and what goes on inside of her.''
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson recently confirmed that the band will release their third album before the end of 2013.

1D's Harry Seen On Dinner Date With Rod Stewart!

Harry Styles has been spotted on a dinner date with legendary rocker Rod Stewart and his wife, Penny Lancaster.
The One Direction hunk was seen at exclusive LA eatery Dan Tana's with Stewart and the blonde model, even jumping in the front seat of a waiting car with the couple.

It is currently unknown what Hazza and the Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer discussed over dinner, with The Sun adding that Rod has previously offered Styles and the rest of 1D some pearls of wisdom.
The tabloid has quoted Stewart as saying: "We did what we wanted. But it’s not like that now.

“I’d recommend a good lawyer and good people to look after them. They will last like me, like Mick (Jagger), like Elton (John), if they have fire in their bellies.”
Styles is due to reunite with his 1D bandmates this weekend, where the lads will be performing in Paris.

One Direction Prepping Album For Christmas Release?

Louis Tomlinson says band has been in studio for a month already.

One Direction fans should make some room under the tree, because the boys are planning to deliver their third album by Christmas.
That's according to member Louis Tomlinson, who told England's Daily Star that they've already been hard at work on the follow-up to last year's Take Me Home.
"We've already started recording the album, we started about a month ago," Tomlinson said. "We've been writing and recording it while on tour. We are really happy with it.

 We don't want to rush it but it will be out for Christmas."

1D's Niall: 'Naked Shower Pic Is Not Me'

However, Horan praised the mystery man's biceps on Twitter...

One Direction star Niall Horan has denied that a naked shower snap doing the rounds online is him.
The Irish heartthrob took to Twitter to address the image - which showed a nude man washing himself in the shower - explaining that despite the praise from his army of fans, it was not him in the pic.

Horan tweeted in a message to his 11 million-plus followers: "That’s not me by the way in that pic. I’d be happy with biceps like that though to be fair!"
1D also hit the headlines for their nakedness over the weekend, after Louis Tomlinson revealed that bandmate Harry Styles once stripped off on a Segway.
He told The Sun: "Niall turned up recently at a gig with a Segway. We were all spinning about on it, then Harry decided to strip off and go streaking. He turned a few heads."
Niall added: "He's a braver boy than me. It can get a bit chilly when you pick up speed. It can be quite cold backstage too."

Louis Tomlinson: One Direction singer in shock after his cousin almost dies in house fire

Lucky Tyrone Clark admits: "My dog saved my life. He woke me up and I somehow managed to flee the flames"      

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is in shock after hearing how his close cousin nearly died in a fire.

The singer is said to be worried about Tyrone Clark who was rushed to hospital suffering from burns and smoke inhalation.

Tyrone, who grew up with 21-year-old Louis, was woken by his dog barking after a fridge burst into flames at his home in Doncaster, South ­Yorks, early on Thursday.

He tackled the fire to prevent a nearby mains gas pipe from going up. 

Tyrone, 23, said: “I’m lucky to be alive. When Rico first woke me up, I tried to get back to sleep, but he jumped on the bed and licked my face. I opened my bedroom door and smelled smoke. I tied a scarf over my nose and mouth and ran downstairs.

“The place was full of thick, black smoke. I filled a bowl with water and threw it on the flames. I had to do it several times. There was smoke ­everywhere and I could hardly breathe. I opened the doors and windows and, after a while, it cleared.

“The only room that didn’t have smoke in it was the bathroom, so Rico and me slept there until my mum came at 8am and took me to ­hospital. If Rico hadn’t woken me, the whole house would have burned down. He saved my life.”

Tyrone’s partner Joleen Cousins, 27, was in hospital with their new baby Theo, who was born prematurely two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Louis' 1D bandmate Harry Styles has been living up to his party-loving reputation.

Niall Horan “flirting” with Corrie star Brooke Vincent, that would be one seriously fit pairing

The One Direction star has made no secret of him fancying the actress. One thing's for sure, they'd make a good Brookin' couple.

The perma-grinning 19-year-old Irish singer had his photo taken with the actress, 20, at his gig in Manchester last month. And he has previously called her his “ideal woman”, but gorgeous Brooke has a boyfriend.

A source said: “Niall has never made any secret of fancying Brooke so he’s chuffed.”

Nearly two years ago Niall admitted he fancied the Corrie star, and even Tweeted as much:

Hedging his bets there. Well you don't want to limit yourself to just one fit celeb, do you now?

Niall has also previously said that he likes girls to be "cute, but not super-sexy as that can be intimidating". And he singled out Kate Middleton as another one of his favourites.

Well it's good to aim high.

Last October the 1D charmer was reportedly dating a 20-year-old drama student called Amy Green.

The pair were spotted looking cosy at X Factor at Fountain Studios in Wembley.

And prior to that, Niall was said to be growing close to X Factor USA host Demi Lovato.

Demi said about Niall: “He has a lot of great qualities. He is an amazing ­listener and makes me laugh a lot, two of the main qualities I look for.

“He knows I have a little crush on him, and we enjoy having dinner when we get the chance. We speak and message all the time. I don’t want a relationship over Skype; we are both in a place where we feel zero pressure to rush."

Harry Styles poses ñaked for the One Directon movie This Is Us

We’ve been promised an access all areas view of One Direction in their highly anticipated 3D movie – but nobody could have expected to see THIS.

The luckiest director in the world has been following (and filming) the band everywhere and it would appear that we’re going to see what it’s like to wake up next to Harry Styles.

Fans began to post over-excitedly and speculated over what Harry wore to bed - if anything - with most tweets too rude to reprint.

Movie man Morgan Spurlock posted this sleepy picture of Harry this morning on Twitter writing: ‘Rise & Shine! Waking up with Mr.@Harry_Styles.’

It’s unclear whether or not his picture was taken this morning but we’re going to sound like a lucky eight ball and say signs point to yes.

After doing some Sherlock-style research we’ve concluded that Harry’s hair looks flat and trimmed as conveniently he had his curly top chopped by a barber yesterday.

One Direction Twitter spat with The Wanted after band member admits X Factor failure

Boy bands One Direction and The Wanted have reignited their rivalry in a Twitter spat.

 

Rival boy bands One Direction and The Wanted have been bickering on Twitter after a member of The Wanted admitted he failed to pass an X Factor audition in an interview.

Tom Parker, 24, one of The Wanted's five band members, told Metro he was "shattered" after being rejected at a first stage X Factor audition aged 16.

One Direction came in third place in The X Factor in 2010, and have since won two Brit Awards and became the first British band to go to the top of American music charts with their debut album last year.

Both bands have a strong social media presence: Tom Parker has nearly 1 million Twitter followers, although the One Direction members who were criticising him on the site, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, both have nearly 10 million each.

The spat started after Tomlinson retweeted a link to Parker's interview. Accusations followed of lying to Twitter followers, and using X Factor industry influence rather than talent to succeed. Tomlinson said Parker was the "biggest t--- on Twitter".

One Direction's Harry Styles Still Not Over Caroline Flack Romance?

Harry Styles has certainly gone through his fair share of women since finding fame, but it seems he hasn't let go of his first celeb romance with Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack and still listens to a mix CD she made for him while they were dating.

According to childhood friend Nick Clough, the singer keeps the CD, which includes Carly Rae Jepsen's, in his Audi and listens to it when he's at home. Harry and Caroline dated for three months, finally breaking up in January 2012, following criticism of their relationship.

Fans and fellow celebs attacked the couple over their 15 year age gap and the fact the One Direction star was still only 17 years old when they were dating, but according to Nick, Styles was head over heels for the pretty 33 year-old.

“He was always really popular with girls," Nick told The Mirror.

"He had a lot of girlfriends through our school years. None of the girls said no to him. He’s always been able to get whoever he wanted."

“If he wants a girl he’ll set his mind on it and get her if he wants her," he claimed.

"I think when Harry first got with Caroline (Flack) he was pretty proud of himself.”

Speaking about when he last saw Harry he said: "We had a little drive around, catching up, listening to music."

"He had a CD in the car that Caroline Flack made for him. It was made up of cute little songs that they listened to together. One song on there was Call Me Maybe and we were singing along to it."

He added: "Then we went to McDonald’s and had a drive-through.”

Since then Harry has dated the likes of Taylor Swift and Cara Delevingne, but could he still carry a torch for Flack?
