  • Danny DeVito, One Direction Make Wacky Music Video

    Ballerinas with umbrellas, sumo wrestlers in the desert, a misplaced marching band, Danny DeVito giving directorial directions to a boy band? It may sound like a Fellini movie, but it’s actually One Direction’s latest video for their newest release Steal My Girl.

    Several pictures hit the web a couple days ago of DeVito playing a director in the band’s music video. Yesterday, we got to see a bunch of exclusive behind-the-scene photos from the video’s promo shoot. The video was shot in the desert, just outside of Los Angeles. All the boys were present: Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik.

    The video for their new single Steal My Girl is in support of the band’s fourth studio album, which appropriately is named Four. The tune was co-written by Louis and Liam.

    Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes look at the video shoot.

    Ben Winston, who directed the video, said, “It’s quite an exciting video.” He added, “You should expect the unexpected on this one. It’s weird and wonderful.” Winston also directed two other One Direction videos, Best Song Ever and This Is Us.

    It certainly looks weird, wonderful, and definitely pretty wacky.

    If you’re interested in checking out Steal My Girl, you’re in luck, the song is currently available on iTunes.

    The band’s last album, Midnight Memories, was the best selling album out of Britain in 2013. Four is set to drop on November 17.

  • 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?
