  • Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth: “Interim Agreement” Reached Over Baby Freddie’s Custody, She’s Holding Out for More Money

    Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth have reached an “interim agreement” over the custody of their son, Freddie Reign Tomlinson, who was born on January 21.

    According to a report from People magazine, the “interim agreement in terms of access” will allow Louis Tomlinson several hours of visitation per week with the baby boy.

    Briana Jungwirth initially denied Louis Tomlinson access to his son. The two only briefly dated last May, with Jungwirth learning she was pregnant shortly thereafter. She wouldn’t let Louis Tomlinson see the baby because of a money dispute.

    It seems this “interim agreement” reached between Tomlinson and Jungwirth doesn’t allow the One Direction singer any overnight visits with the baby. Overnight visits are still being negotiated. So far no long-term custody agreement or financial agreement has been met.

    Louis Tomlinson made what he deemed a very reasonable financial offer, but Briana Jungwirth is holding out for more.

    In other Louis Tomlinson news, the singer recently shared what he hopes little Freddie Reign’s first words might be.

    Louis joked while speaking to a reportedly in recent weeks, who asked him about those hopes.

    “It’s a tough question because the immaturity is just pushing through there but–dad!” he said.

    Is Louis Tomlinson not one extremely adorable young dad?

    It truly seems like the One Direction singer is working hard within the court system to do right by both his son and Briana Jungwirth.

    Do you think Briana Jungwirth is trying to take advantage of Louis Tomlinson’s wealth?

  • Briana Jungwirth: Louis Tomlinson’s Baby Mama Endures Taunting by His Fans, Family Considers Legal Action

    Briana Jungwirth is the mother of One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson’s baby boy. From the time word broke of her pregnancy, she has received taunts and threats from One Direction fans.

    Now it seems those taunts and threats are increasing, and Briana Jungwirth’s family is considering taking legal action. They have reportedly contacted lawyers to find out what can be done.

    Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson welcomed baby boy Freddie Reign Tomlinson into their lives just over two weeks ago. A close relative of Jungwirth tells the Daily Mail everyone in her immediate family has come under fire ever since the baby was born.

    “It has been an onslaught, the fans are attacking and breaking in to our social media profiles, trying to get our passwords, calling our homes at all hours of the day and night,” the unnamed family member says.

    “We’re receiving hundreds of abusive emails and messages, people are setting up fake profiles on social media pretending to be in the family, they are even posting our personal information online, it’s relentless. We have tried to ignore much of it, but recently some fans have crossed the line and we have instructed attorneys to get involved. There was one post that was extremely rude, just writing really bad things, that much we can’t take. When somebody starts getting belligerent then that’s when the attorneys get involved,” the source adds.

    Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson were never really involved in a relationship, but instead had a short (read: sexual) fling. That fling resulted in little Freddie Reign, and while the young parents aren’t a couple, they plan to work together to raise their son.

    How do you suppose Louis Tomlinson feels, knowing his fans are making life for the mother of his baby boy–and her family, too–so miserable?

    Hopefully lawyers can get to the bottom of the harassment and put an end to the abuse, so that Briana Jungwirth can enjoy these precious early days with her baby.

  • Briana Jungwirth Buys FreddieTomlinson.com Domain Shortly After She and Louis Tomlinson Name Their Baby

    Briana Jungwirth wasted no time in buying the FreddieTomlinson.com domain name. She and former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson named their baby boy last week and just minutes later she purchased the domain name.

    Louis Tomlinson started calling the infant “Freddie,” and it stuck. Briana Jungwirth wanted him to have an earthy kind of middle name. Liking “Rain,” she felt it was too feminine, so the two settled on “Reign” for the baby’s middle name instead.

    Briana Jungwirth gave birth to Freddie Reign Tomlinson on January 22.

    Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth are no longer a couple, but they plan to both be active, involved parents in their child’s life.

    The One Direction singer rented a mansion near another home he rented for Briana Jungwirth and her family, so they can both be in close proximity to their son.

    1/21/16. Freddie Reign. Love of my life?

    A photo posted by Briana Jungwirth (@brianaashleyjungwirth) on

    Briana Jungwirth jumped on buying the FreddieTomlinson.com domain name so quickly because immediately after naming their son, she and Louis Tomlinson saw fake social media accounts popping up in his name.

  • Briana Jungwirth: Is She Using Louis Tomlinson for His Money?

    Briana Jungwirth is the mother of One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson’s new baby boy. The new mom and dad don’t appear to be involved in a serious relationship with one another, however, but both plan to take active roles in raising their son.

    A new report from TMZ says Briana Jungwirth has been vocal with her girlfriends about not taking advantage of Louis Tomlinson’s wealth. It doesn’t sound like she’s practicing what she’s preaching, however.

    HollywoodLife.com reports Jungwirth is requesting $600,000 per year in child support from the singer until the child turns 18. That adds up to more than $8 million.

    Louis Tomlinson recently signed on a six-month rental of a $14 million mansion, as well as a separate four-bedroom home for Briana Jungwirth and her family–all so he can take part in the raising of his child.

    Despite TMZ’s report, it sort of sounds like Briana Jungwirth might be using Louis Tomlinson for his money. The Sun reports that Jungwirth’s mom wouldn’t allow Louis near Briana when she was in labor. In fact, he spent most of the time she was in labor sitting in his car.

    “He’s looked after her very well but Tammi (the mom) feels it’s not enough. They are trying to work out a custody deal,” a source tells them.

    Louis was eventually allowed into the delivery room when Briana Jungwirth had the baby.

    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that something smells foul in this situation between Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson.

    In all truth, it smells far more like money.

    Do you agree?

  • One Direction–Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson–Officially On Hiatus

    One Direction is officially on hiatus. The boy band comprised of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson bid a temporary farewell to their fans on Sunday night on The X-Factor UK.

    It was on The X-Factor that One Direction got their start, so it was only fitting that this season’s finale be where they said their goodbye.

    The X-Factor UK was broadcast from London’s Wembley Arena on Sunday, and fans were thrilled to hear One Direction perform songs from their latest album, including “History” and “Infinity.”

    It was while “History” was sung that a montage of the past five years of One Direction played on the screen behind them.

    “We’re sad that we’re going away for a little while but we need it,” Liam Payne told the audience when the song was over.

    It was this past summer that One Direction announced their intentions to take a year off from performing and recording. They had initially said they wouldn’t split up until March 2016. Clearly that plan changed.

    Following Sunday night’s performance, the One Direction mates recorded a special thank you video back stage. They posted it for their fans via Facebook.

    A message from One Direction to all of you!

    Posted by One Direction on Sunday, December 13, 2015

    “This is just a massive, massive thank you to all of our fans,” Liam said.

    “Obviously you guys made all this happen for us and we can’t believe the way you’ve supported us over these last five years and today’s a very special day for us because this is like the last part of our first chapter,” he added.

    Liam also said Directioners (what One Direction fans are called) are “the most dedicated people I think we’ve ever seen in our lives.”

    Do you think this hiatus might represent the beginning of the end of One Direction? Zayn Malik left the group a few months back and has already embarked on a solo career. WIll the same happen with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne?

  • Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher Live It Up at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s 35th Birthday Bash

    Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were just a couple of the famous faces living it up in L.A. on Friday night at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s 35th birthday bash. It’s a rare event for Mila Kunis to go out and leave baby girl Wyatt at home.

    Dancing the night away at Bootsy Bellows in Los Angeles, the gang also included Selena Gomez, Niall Horan, Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, and Louis Tomlinson.

    Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s actual birthday was Thursday, but it seems hubby Channing Tatum knew Friday was a better night for friends like Mila Kunis and Selena Gomez. He planned the bash, and spent the evening canoodling with his pretty wife.

    A source says Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Dewan-Tatum, and her hubby all enjoyed one another in addition to enjoying themselves.

    “They were all laughing hysterically together and having the best time,” a source tells People magazine.

    At least Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were well-behaved. Selena Gomez and Niall Horan made news for excessive PDA–lots of hugging, kissing, and dancing close. Justin Bieber must be bummed.

    It would have been fun to be that proverbial fly on the wall at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s birthday bash, if for no other reason than to see her and her hubby interact with friends like Adam Levine, Behati Prinsloo, Mila Kunis, and Ashton Kutcher.

    So far the photos that have emerged from the event assure everyone that lots of fun was had by all.

  • Jenna Dewan-Tatum Enjoys Star-Studded Birthday Bash With Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and More

    Jenna Dewan-Tatum celebrated her 35th birthday on Friday night at a bash filled with A-listers, including Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, and of course hubby Channing Tatum.

    Held at Bootsy Bellows in L.A., the event saw lots of PDA–on behalf of the birthday girl and her man, as well as others.

    Selena Gomez and One Direction’s Niall Horan made news at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s birthday party. Sources say the pair engaged in some cuddling and kissing, as well as some up-close action on the dance floor.

    Niall Horan wasn’t the only One Direction member at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s party either. Band mate and soon-to-be dad Louis Tomlinson was there, too.

    “Channing kept pulling Jenna closer,” a source says of the birthday girl and her Magic Mike XXL star hubby. “They were hugging and kissing and showing off a little PDA. It was adorable.”

    Jenna Dewan-Tatum laughed the night away in the company of all her closest friends.

    “They were all laughing hysterically together and having the best time,” the source adds.

    “Scenes from our annual bday dance party craziness! We threw down!! Love you more than life @echriqui! Thank u to @bootsybellows @absolutelyx @brettgursky for a great night!! Thanks to @djreflex and @dj_bizzy for keeping us dancing all night!” Jenna Dewan-Tatum captioned this Instagram pic.

    It certainly sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the big 3-5, don’t you think?

    Just imagine having Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, Selena Gomez, and two of the One Direction guys in a room all at the same time. That’s birthday bliss. How lucky is Jenna Dewan-Tatum? Add Adam Levine to that mix, and everyone there was likely swooning.

    Since 35 isn’t typically considered a “milestone” birthday, it’s likely when Jenna Dewan-Tatum turns 40, her birthday bash will surpass this one.

    Could it possibly get any better?

  • Briana Jungwirth: One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson Speaks Out on Baby News

    Brian Jungwirth’s baby daddy, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, broke his silence on the impending birth of his first child.

    In an appearance on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Tomlinson spoke on the news that broke several weeks ago. His comments came before the group performed on the morning news show.

    It was ABC’s Michael Strahan, who got the singer to open up about fatherhood.

    “Louis, from one father to another I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. So how are you feeling?” asked Strahan.

    Tomlinson looked as if that line of questioning about having a baby with stylist Briana Jungwirth came as a surprise and was cautious as he responded to Strahan’s question.

    “Thank you, yeah,” Tomlinson said. “Obviously it’s a very exciting time, so I’m buzzing. Thank you.”

    And that was it. Moving on.

    News broke that

    Liam Payne confirms Louis Tomlinson is expecting a baby, says Briana Jungwirth is 'lovely' http://t.co/XOFCZIIFJy pic.twitter.com/61XaN6zoSs

    — Irish Daily Mirror (@IrishMirror) August 3, 2015

    “>Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth were expecting in mid-July. Sources confirmed to Billboard magazine that the news was true.

    Wednesday’s response was the first time the singer said anything about the baby.

    After the Q&A, One Direction performed new single Drag Me Down, as well as Steal My Girl and Story of my Life. Click here for a full recap of the performance.

  • Briana Jungwirth Pregnant With Louis Tomlinson’s Baby, Simon Cowell Gives One Direction Singer Advice

    Briana Jungwirth is the young woman who is pregnant with One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson’s baby. Tomlinson recently sought advice on the unexpected, life changing matter from Simon Cowell.

    “I said to him, ‘You man up,’” Cowell told The Sun of the advice he shared. “‘You’re fortunate because you’re in a position to be able to look after the baby and not worry too much about that.’”

    Simon Cowell knows all too well how an unexpected pregnancy can turn into a blessing.

    “But I also told him, ‘I’ve received bad calls in my life but this is not one of them,’” Cowell added. “This is your business but I’m here for you.’ He didn’t kill anyone. He got someone pregnant. It happens every day all over the world. Again, Louis has got great family around him and, look, it’s a plus, not a negative.”

    Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson aren’t involved in a romantic relationship. They claim they are simply good friends.

    Translation: Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson are friends with benefits.

    Do you think their relationship might change as her pregnancy progresses?

    Briana Jungwirth was spotted recently grocery shopping in L.A. She earns her living as a stylist.

    One Direction fans are reportedly crushed that Louis Tomlinson is going to be a father. His ex-girlfriend Eleanor Calder no doubt is as well.

    Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson claim they will raise their child together. Do you expect this will work or might a baby drive a wedge in their friendship? And what might happen between Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson if either meets someone else and falls in love?

    There are definitely some complications in the One Direction singer’s life, but like Simon Cowell said, this doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

    How do you foresee Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson as parents?

  • Zayn Malik Releases Solo Ballad On Heels of One Direction Exit

    Zayn Malik Releases Solo Ballad On Heels of One Direction Exit

    Zayn Malik announced less than a week ago that he was leaving One Direction behind. Now the former boy band member has released his first solo song.

    ‘I Won’t Mind’ came out on Monday–first on Soundcloud, then later on YouTube. It is a soft ballad featuring Zayn Malik’s vocals against a background of acoustic guitar.

    A rep for Zayn Malik confirmed that yes, it is the former One Direction member, singing the song. The song is produced by Naughty Boy Music, and the company–known for working with music greats like Sam Smith–was accused of starting trouble with Zayn’s former One Direction mate Louis Tomlinson.

    Naughty Boy raised Louis Tomlinson’s ire by retweeting a video that included the words, “Naughty Boy Saved My Life Zaughty.” It seems Louis took it as a reference to Zayn Malik having left One Direction.

    Naughty Boy said the message wasn’t about Malik. That doesn’t necessarily ring true, however.

    Billboard jumped on the bandwagon and helped promote Zayn Malik’s new song.

    What’s your take on Zayn Malik’s new song. ‘I Won’t Mind?’ Do you think he was already working on his solo music before he left One Direction?

  • Zayn Malik Breaks Silence On Why He Left One Direction

    Zayn Malik, who broke the hearts of a slew of One Direction fans when he announced Wednesday that he would be leaving the British boy band, finally broke his silence over his decision to leave.

    Rumors circulated that he quit after refusing to give up the partying; however, Zayn Malik said he left One Direction simply to pursue a solo career.

    Zayn Malik told The Sun he already has a solo release planned, produced by Naughty Boy, who has worked with Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson.

    Zayn Malik said the reaction to his departure has been “crazy and wild and a bit mad,” but says he wouldn’t change a thing.

    “I’ve never felt more in control in my life,” said Zayn Malik. “And I feel like I’m doing what’s right – right by myself and right by the boys, so I feel good.”

    Zayn Malik denied there was any lingering bitterness from his former One Direction buddies, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Moran.

    “My band has been really supportive,” he said. “They’ve been cool about it. And they understand that, you know, [One Direction is] not real to me anymore.

    Most importantly, Zayn Malik said he was much happier now because he is pursuing his own dreams and not those of others.

    “I did try to do something that I wasn’t happy doing for a while, for the sake of other people’s happiness,” he said, noting that his only regret is the pain it has caused his One Direction fans.

    “I feel like I’ve let the fans down but I can’t do this anymore,” Zayn Malik admitted. “It’s not that I’ve turned my back on them or anything, it’s just that I just can’t do that anymore because it’s not the real me.”

  • Wendy Williams Thinks One Direction Should Ditch Zayn Malik, Why?

    Wendy Williams thinks One Direction should ditch Zayn Malik for good. Why? And what does it matter to the talk show host?

    The topic came up for discussion on a recent episode of The Wendy Williams Show, and Williams simply voiced her opinion. Zayn Malik abandoned his One Direction band mates–Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne–and headed home to the U.K. recently, citing stress as the reason behind his departure.

    “I feel as though if you can do five-part harmony, it’s just as easy to do four-part harmony,” she said of Malik. “I say kick this guy out of the group because now, that’s more money for the rest of us. We don’t have to split our money five ways.”

    Now lest One Direction fans decide to plan some verbal attack on Wendy Williams, rest assure she understands Zayn Malik’s side of things, too.

    “I admire him for standing in his own truth, which is that being a celebrity–particularly as a young person–it’s a lot and all he wants to do is go back and live a normal life,” Wendy Williams explained. “I appreciate people who stand in their own truths, so if this is what this guy wants, kick him out of the band.”

    Of course it’s important to note that a rumor had Zayn Malik running home to the U.K. after a purported cheating scandal. He and Little Mix star Perrie Edwards are engaged, and he denies the cheating claims.

    What’s your take on Wendy Williams and her very vocal opinion about One Direction and Zayn Malik? Do you think the boy band is considering ditching Zayn–or are they counting the days until he (hopefully) returns?

  • Louis Tomlinson: One Direction Member Splits from Longtime Girlfriend Eleanor Calder

    Louis Tomlinson, the eldest member of the boy band One Direction, and his girlfriend of four years, Eleanor Calder, have gone their separate ways.

    “Louis and Eleanor split up two weeks ago,” a rep for One Direction said. “They have not announced this as they wanted some privacy during this time.”

    Eleanor Calder has yet to publicly comment on the split, however it comes shortly after a newspaper photo showed a shirtless man presumed to be Louis Tomlinson, kissing another woman.

    The Sun, a U.K. publication, claims the photo was taken at an ‘all night party’ in Bangkok, Thailand last week.

    Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder starting dating back in 2011. He attended her college graduation from the University of Manchester last year. Some One Direction fans supported their relationship, while others believed Louis Tomlinson needed his space–and they even sent Calder nasty tweets.

    News of Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder’s break up comes on the heels of other big One Direction news. Zayn Malik recently left the band to go home to the U.K., with reps citing ‘stress’ as the reason behind his departure. It’s uncertain if Zayn is even returning to 1D, and his ‘stress’ is believed by some to be the result of a cheating scandal as well. He and Little Mixx star Perrie Edwards have long been dating. Zayn Malik, too, was accused of cheating while in Thailand–just like Louis Tomlinson.

    Maybe these One Direction boys should all vow to stay single–at least until their heyday has run its course. It has to be incredibly difficult being the girlfriend left behind while the handsome guy travels the world and is groped at by young girls everywhere. And it’s clearly difficult for young men like Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to keep their hands–and probably other body parts, too–to themselves.

    How do you suppose Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne feel about all this One Direction negative hype?

    Do you think Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder are done for good or might they find their way back to one another when Louis returns to the U.K.? And what about Zayn Malik? Do you think he’ll find his way back to One Direction?

    There’s definitely some big doings with the boy band. Their fans are no doubt anxiously awaiting word on what happens next.

  • Zayn Malik: Report Confirmed He Has Left One Direction Tour

    Zayn Malik has reportedly left the One Direction tour and has headed home to the UK. This report was confirmed on Thursday by Simon Jones–the UK rep for One Direction.

    It seems “stress” is the reason being given for why Zayn Malik left Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan to perform the next three concert dates without him. Two of those events are in Japan, with the third taking place in Jakarta.

    Most people are assuming that Zayn is under stress due to recent allegations he cheated on his fiancee, Perrie Edwards.

    This sudden departure from One Direction no doubt has some fans wondering if Zayn Malik is leaving the band for good. Is that even a consideration? What would 1D be without Zayn?

    Do you think accusations about cheating on Perrie Edwards caused enough stress to prompt Zayn Malik to pack his bags and fly back to the UK? Or do you think there is something much bigger in play here?

    It will be interesting to learn what transpires in the next couple of weeks between Zayn and Perrie–as well as between Zayn Malik and the other members of the band.

  • Shailene Woodley: Who is Kylie Jenner? Can’t Name One Direction Members

    Shailene Woodley may be a movie star, but she doesn’t know much about pop culture. Often the two go hand-in-hand, but definitely not for the Divergent: Insurgent star.

    When Shailene Woodley was asked recently to give her best Kylie Jenner selfie face while on the red carpet at the film’s London premiere, she couldn’t do it. Why? Shailene Woodley didn’t know who Kylie Jenner was.

    “I have no idea who that is,” she said. “I’m sorry!” she said.

    The entire cast of Divergent: Insurgent was asked a bunch of pop culture questions while on the red carpet. In addition to the Kylie Jenner stumper, Shailene Woodley also failed at Mean Girls quotes and naming the members of the boy band One Direction. In fact, she couldn’t get any further than Harry Styles.

    Does it surprise you that stars like Shailene Woodley don’t always spend their spare time reading gossip rags about the latest Keeping Up With the Kardashians foibles or flipping through fan magazines staring at pictures of Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Liam Payne? (They’re the other four members of One Direction, for those who are pop culture-challenged like Shailene.)

    This is actually incredibly refreshing, and means Woodley, along with some of her cast mates, might have better things to do with their time than strictly adhering to some ridiculous Hollywood standards.

    Shailene Woodley appears on the cover of the April issue of Elle magazine. Within its pages she talks about growing up, and how she certainly was blessed with a strong–but not always easy–foundation. She shared the following advice she received from her mother.

    “One day I was having one of my teenage crises, when you think everything’s falling apart—your estrogen and progesterone are freaking out. And she said, ‘Shai, the most important thing in life is self-love. You’ve gotta take care of yourself. You’ve got to take care of yourself, and you gotta live from your deep heart,’” she said.

    Maybe her growing up years played a pivotal role in Shailene Woodley being so sure of herself she can star in hit Hollywood films without feeling the need to conform to the stereotype that often accompanies her chosen path. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t know–and likely doesn’t care–about people like Kylie Jenner and bands like One Direction.

  • Niall Horan: Hometown Honors One Direction Singer

    Niall Horan received quite an honor from his hometown while he was back there visiting for Christmas. The town of Mullingar, Ireland presented the One Direction heart throb with a lifetime membership at its golf club.

    Horan has golfed at the club since he was a young boy. He was definitely humbled by the town’s generous gift.

    The ‘Story of My Life‘ singer shared his excitement–and his thanks–via Twitter after he finished playing a round of golf.

    Given the three tweets that Niall Horan shared, it’s abundantly clear he was overwhelmed by the town’s gift. Do you suppose at some point he will show up to play a round or two with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Liam Payne? Might that be what the gift was all about–a gesture that might result in a visit from all of the One Direction mates?

    That’s likely not the case. Niall Horan’s hometown has supported him wholeheartedly ever since he became a star. Do you suppose they saw him dance in his underwear recently? A Vine that was released prior to a Christmas show in which One Direction starred showed Niall dancing in his tightie whities.

    Hopefully Niall Horan takes full advantage of his golf club membership before people in his hometown catch sight of him in his underwear.

  • Louis Tomlinson Bashes Journalist Who ‘Said’ He’s Gay

    Louis Tomlinson is very unhappy with a journalist who reported about the One Direction singer, and insinuated he might be gay.

    The headline in question, which was published in The Telegraph, read “Louis Tomlinson supports gay Apple CEO Tim Cook–days after Harry Styles‘ comments on gender and sexuality.” It pictured Louis wearing an Apple t-shirt with the original logo on the front, which happens to be of a rainbow.

    The 1D singer subsequently bashed the journalist through a series of tweets–some of which he has since removed from his Twitter account.

    The journalist had plenty to say to Louis Tomlinson in response, however, and she didn’t take her posts down.

    It sort of sounds like Louis Tomlinson is the one in the wrong here. The journalist, Jenn Selby, makes a very strong point when she says that ‘being called ‘gay’ should never be insulting & that standing up for #LGBT rights is an admirable thing to do.’ Did the One Direction hunk actually hint in his missing tweets that being gay is wrong?

    Here are Louis’ two remaining tweets from his bashing of Jenn Selby.

    And that second tweet is akin to his saying, ‘Let’s change the subject now.’

    What’s your take on Louis Tomlinson and the journalist he is accusing of having called him gay? Which of the two is closer to wrong here?

  • Zayn Malik: One Direction Singer Gets Advice from Russell Brand

    Zayn Malik–One Direction singer and young hunk extraordinaire–had the opportunity to meet actor and comedian Russell Brand a couple of years back. Zayn shares some of that unusual meeting in the band’s new autobiography, Who We Are. It seems Russell Brand actually offered the 1D singer some birth control advice.

    According to a report from Billboard, Zayn Malik was a bit taken aback by the conversation.

    “Backstage at the Olympics was one of the maddest times I’ve had with the band,” Zayn says in the book. “These crazily famous people were coming up and talking to me. All my life I’d seen them on TV and here they were just chatting away to us.”

    Malik then recalls how Brand, who was also performing in the closing ceremony, came over to him. “Russell was brilliant. He was saying, ‘Your performance was sick.’ Then he started giving me family planning advice! I was like, ‘Russell, you shouldn’t be giving me that sort of advice!’ He was hilarious, a really nice guy.”

    Not many people can say Russell Brand gave them birth control advice–right? Of course not many people would want any kind of advice from the funny man. At least Zayn Malik can catalogue the conversation as among the more unusual he’s likely ever had.

    One Direction’s new book Who We Are hits bookstores on Thursday, September 25th. In it, Zayn Malik’s band mate Harry Styles even admits to a lack of confidence. Who’d have ever thunk that?

    “I’m naturally a fairly confident person in most situations, but not all,” said Styles in Who We Are. “At that point, any natural confidence I had was being taken over by nerves because back then I had no idea how to channel and control my anxiety.”

    Profound, Harry.

    Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan will release their fourth album–aptly titled Four–in November. A single from that album, ‘Steal My Girl,’ comes out on September 29th.

    Do you suppose Zayn Malik paid any heed to Russell Brand’s advice from two years ago? It doesn’t appear as though any of the One Direction boys has added ‘fatherhood’ to their current resumes.

    Thanks, Russell?

  • Niall Horan: One Direction Hunk Enjoys 21st Birthday Bash

    Niall Horan of One Direction fame enjoyed a 21st birthday bash he threw in his honor on Monday evening. Even though the ‘Story of My Life’ singer’s birthday isn’t until September 13th, Niall wanted to celebrate before the band goes back on tour in the U.S. He threw his early party at the Shoreditch House in London so he could celebrate with some of his U.K. family members and friends before flying back to the U.S.

    Something that was immediately noticed at Niall’s party was that Louis Tomlinson was the only other member of One Direction in attendance, according to AZ Central. His girlfriend Eleanor Calder joined him. Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Liam Payne were reportedly nowhere to be seen.

    Niall’s party was replete with a hired presenter from the Shoreditch House. Laura Whitmore kept those at the party–and those not in attendance–apprised of the antics by posting to Instagram throughout the evening. She posted this shot at the start of the party, while guests wore masks of Niall Horan’s face.

    Niall Horan’s parents and his brother flew to London from Ireland to share in the celebration.

    On Sunday, Niall shared a couple of tweets about his party–making it very clear he had a wonderful time.

    He retweeted this message.

    Brother Greg Horan–who attended the party–also shared his sentiments about his brother via Twitter.

    While it certainly looks like Niall Horan had a great time at his birthday party, it likely has fans wondering why Harry Styles, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik weren’t there, too. Perhaps the guys have another birthday bash planned for Niall once their tour is once again underway? It starts back up in Pasadena on September 12th.

  • Niall Horan and Liam Payne: Cow Poop Takes Them Home

    Niall Horan and Liam Payne–both members of the internationally acclaimed boy band One Direction–both love the smell of cow poop. It seems whenever the two singers smell the fecal matter, it reminds them of home. No, Niall and Liam didn’t grow up inside of barns. It seems both guys were raised in the country and the smell of the farms evokes their nostalgic sides.

    Niall Horan was recently asked by a writer for Cosmopolitan what smell most reminded him of home.

    ”Cow poo,” he replied. ”I’m from the lake district of Ireland so there’s the smell of cows and sheep and fresh-cut grass.”

    ”I was going to say the same,” Liam Payne interjected. “We both live close to the countryside. Where I live there are farms and you can always smell…”

    One Direction actually launched their third fragrance in early August. Called ‘You & I,’ one can only hope that Niall Horan and Liam Payne didn’t lend their olfactory expertise to the creation of the new scent. It went on sale at Macy’s on August 25th. Fortunately ‘You & I’ has ‘notes of peony, orchid, musk, mango, grapefruit and peach blossom.’

    That’s so not like cow poop.

    Niall Horan recently defended the solidarity of One Direction, amidst rumors that the guys were disbanding and heading their separate ways.

    “We’re going to go as long as we can go, as long as people want us we will be here. None of that rumours business,” he told the media.

    One Direction just finished up a portion of their current tour and are going to have a bit of down time before they head out again. While on the road, Niall Horan made sure to honor Liam Payne on his 21st birthday.

    Hopefully Niall and Liam–along with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik–enjoy their deserved down time. Perhaps Niall and Liam can visit a local farm and inhale the fresh smell of cow poop to ward off any homesickness they might be feeling.
