Simon Cowell has confirmed that One Direction members will be coming up with their solo projects following in the footsteps of ex-band member Zayn Malik, who is set to release his solo album titled Mind of Mine on 25 March. The music mogul, who brought together the members of the band on X Factor, said Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson deserved their break as they have worked hard during the past five years.


"Yeah, there will be more, I'm absolutely sure of that," Simon told E! News, according to The Metro. "Well, it was always going to come. You can't work at that level; the way they did. I mean lots of things are going to be announced over the next few months, but they were, are, the nicest people, you know, to work with," Simon said. "Hardworking, appreciate everything, so it won't be the end," he added.

Talking about Zayn, Simon said: "We were involved with what label he went on, and he's still signed to our company, so, he's done fantastic, and he's showing that he's a great vocalist and very talented."

Zayn had walked out on One Direction during their On The Road Again tour in March 2015. Since leaving the group, Zayn released his first solo single Pillowtalk on 29 January, which topped the Billboard Hot 100, On Demand Songs and the US Digital Songs chart. It was top of the music charts in the UK as well. The solo single is one of the songs from Zayn's album Mind of Mine.


With the success of his solo song release, Zayn said: "Thank you to all my fans and supporters. We have achieved this together and I am grateful."

"What is gwaning :) !! I can't explain the love and gratitude i feel today, thank you for making this happen (sic)," Zayn also tweeted.

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has found himself with a lot of spare time on his hands following the announcement of his band's two-year hiatus. So it doesn't come as a huge surprise that the teen heartthrob has "relentlessly nagged" music mogul and long-term mentor Simon Cowell for more involvement on the X Factor.

After much conjecture over Tomlinson's highly anticipated role as a new judge following Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw's hasty departure, the star confessed that there has been no talk of his potential TV debut. According to The Sun, the new father and former X Factor judge Louis Walsh are favourites for the hot seat, but the History hitmaker is more than hopeful of taking over as Cowell's new right-hand man with a fresh take on the music industry, and it couldn't have come at a more pertinent time. Speaking to the publication on the red carpet at the 2016 Brit Awards , he revealed: "We've had no official conversation yet. But yeah, I mean, why wouldn't I?"


Tomlinson, who rose to fame on the seventh series of The X Factor in 2010 where his five-piece band was formed and finished third in the final, first showed interest in returning to the talent show when he appeared on the Judge's Houses segment to counsel Simon Cowell over his decision to whittle his category down to just three acts. He impressed the show supremo in the process and has reportedly asked Cowell for more show involvement since.

His new role as a doting father to son Freddie Reign Tomlinson, born on January 21, is no doubt swallowing up most of his free time as he is reportedly leasing a three-bedroom home in Calabasas, California for Freddie's mother Briana Jungwirth. The What Makes You Beautiful chart-topper is said to be renting a separate house for himself nearby along with payments of almost £10,000 in child support monthly; so it's no wonder he's keen over a possible X Factor judging endeavour.

Opening up about becoming a new parent before picking up the gong for Best British Video award at this year's Brit Awards with fellow 1D bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, the singer said: "[Fatherhood] is good. It's intense. It's really exciting. This is my first time away from Freddie so it's tough."

The stars were certainly not shy about showing some skin at this year's Oscars.

Plunging necklines were an eye-catching trend on the red carpet, thanks to A-listers Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence, and more.

Check out the sexiest styles.

It's safe to say, at 40, Charlize has never looked better.

The back of the dress turned heads as well, thanks to its almost completely open design.

While the neckline of Rachel McAdams' silky green August Getty dress is technically a halter, an honorable mention has to go to the 37-year-old Spotlight star, who stunned many in a daring, totally backless design, which also featured a thigh-high slit.

Has Rachel ever looked sexier than in this plunging back design?!

Jennifer Lawrence:

The 25-year-old Joy star, who was also up for Best Actress, looked amazing and stayed true to her style in a sheer lace Dior creation. Simple makeup and an unfussy bob completed her elegant look.

Simon Cowell has finally joined Instagram and didn't hold back sharing photos with his fans. The music mogul went on a bit of a posting spree, uploading several snaps from the glitzy Brit Awards on Wednesday night.

The first photo was of himself and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, striding into the O2 Arena hand-in-hand. American beauty Lauren wore an elegant dress that featured a high collar and embellished detailing, while Simon looked dapper in a tuxedo.

The couple featured in another snap taken at their champagne-filled table, this time posing with Louis Tomlinson. The photo did little to dispel rumours that the One Directioner may be joining The X Factor panel as a judge.

Louis, who is close friends with Simon, has previously acted as a guest judge on the show, which propelled him to stardom alongside Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan.

"We've had no official conversation yet. But yeah, I mean, why wouldn't I?" Louis told The Sun on the Brits red carpet, when he was asked if the rumours were true.

It's also been reported that Louis may ask Simon to be the godfather to his newborn son Freddie. "We'll have to wait and see," Simon told The Mirror. "I'm godfather to a lot of kids now. I would if he asked."

One Direction have thanked their incredible fans for all the amazing support they’ve given the boys, with the band picking up the British Artist Video of the Year award for ‘Drag Me Down’ at the BRITs 2016.

Congratulations, boys - and congratulations to you guys for some super impressive voting.

Sadly, Niall Horan and Harry Styles didn’t make it to the show themselves, but luckily, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson popped along to accept the award.

We mean, we would have joined them to help out if they had asked.

Picking up the fan-voted award, the dynamic duo, who were looking seriously dapper and handsome and generally wonderful, spoke about how their hiatus was going and thanked fans for everything.

Louis said: “Wow, it really is times like these and events like these that prove to us we have the best fans in the world. It really is incredible guys, this award is for you, thank you so so much.”

Remember before One Direction even announced their eighteen-month hiatus and all these know-it-all sources and mysterious insiders insisted that Harry Styles was set to leave the band to become the next Jude Law?

Well, turns out those reports were a whole lot of rubbish.

There’s a surprise, eh?


The rumour mill went into overdrive re: Harry’s upcoming Hollywood career when the four remaining 1D band members went their separate ways for a well-deserved break, but it has now been reported that the 22-year-old will definitely not be trying his hand at acting.

And he’s even enlisted One Direction’s songwriter, Jamie Scott, to help him with a solo career.

Interesting.

A source explained: “Harry is aware he was the most popular member of the band but is determined not to end up in a Robbie Williams-Gary Barlow situation or play second fiddle to Zayn.


"Zayn beat Harry out of the traps by getting his solo material out first but Harry is confident playing the long game will pay off.”

And Harry even has the fans at the forefront of his mind, with the insider adding to The Mirror: “Unlike Zayn, Harry doesn’t want to stray too far and alienate the 1D fan base – but he does want to make his own mark.

"Jamie knows how to write a song that suits Harry’s voice.”

American television personality and model Kendall Jenner has revealed some unflattering details about One Direction star Harry Styles. The 20-year-old model has commented about his personal hygiene.

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kendall talked about her on-off boyfriend to Kylie Jenner. She said: "I've asked him to shower more and told him a little deodorant never hurts."

The History singer was first linked with Kim Kardashian's half-sister in November 2014 when they were spotted leaving Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood. However, they split after dating for three months. Kendall and Styles again sparked romance reports recently after being spotted getting intimate on a yacht off the Caribbean island of St Barts.

However, according to a report in The Sun, the pair called it quits, quickly as it began. A source said: "They are still going to carry on as friends. Harry doesn't want to settle down so he would never get a serious girlfriend during this phase of his life."

"But in Harry's eyes it was never anything official. Harry and Kendall have got back together before but, in her eyes, it's very much off at the moment and he's arguing it was never even really on," the insider added.

Okay, this latest rumour is arguably one of the most bizarre ways that we have heard Harry Styles will be spending his eighteen-month break from One Direction, but trust us when we say that there is actually method to this madness.

According to new reports, Harry Styles is seriously planning to help open a curry house in Los Angeles because he misses his local restaurant so much.

The 22-year-old star frequents Wasel Ali’s Paradise in Hampstead, north London, and is fed up with not being able to fulfil his curry cravings when he resides in California.


Obviously this means that the only logical explanation is for the restaurant to open in Los Angeles, with other regulars at the celeb hotspot including Kate Moss and Rowan Atkinson.

"Finally, he is considering it and Harry has been in contact offering to show the team around possible locations.

"Whenever he’s back in the UK and pops in to Paradise, Harry always says how much he missed the food in LA.”

Everybody try to remain calm in spite of this seriously mega news: Louis Tomlinson’s declaration of his love for Harry Styles has surpassed two million retweets on Twitter.

That’s a whole lot of people supporting/ embracing/ adoring what has become known as ‘Larry Stylinson’, isn’t it?


Less than one year ago Louis’ tweet managed to beat President Obama into becoming the second most retweeted in history, just behind Ellen DeGeneres’ infamous Oscar selfie, and since then more than one million more people have joined in the phenomena.

Always in my heart @Harry_Styles . Yours sincerely, Louis

— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) October 2, 2011

At the moment of writing, the tweet stands at 2,030,049 retweets but the number is seemingly increasing by the second.

The 24-year-old’s iconic tweet was posted on the 2nd of October 2011, when the Larry Stylinson ship was sailing at full speed, and Louis tweeted to his bandmate: “Always in my heart @Harry_Styles . Yours sincerely, Louis”.

The tweet became iconic for a whole load of reasons, starting with the fact that it was back in the good ol’ days when the boys used to ACTUALLY tweet eachother, but mostly because it is such an adorable declaration of love and iconically came the day before Lou was first papped with his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder.

And it seems like it isn’t just the fans who have a lot of time for the tweet, with Harry brandishing a huge flag made out of the love note during one of the band’s On The Road Again concerts last year:

There’s just over one million retweets to go before AIMH takes over Ellen’s selfie to officially become the most retweeted tweet in history, and although it sounds like a lot we wouldn’t be surprised if we see it happen before the year is out.

We’ll put some champers on ice for the big moment, yeah?

One Direction have got a whole lot of history to reflect on before they embark on their upcoming hiatus. The group have released what could be their final music video for new single History, sharing emotional footage from the entire span of their career that was launched on The X Factor in 2010.

The clip begins with black-and-white X Factor footage from when the band were first put together by the judges, after initially auditioning as solo artists. With former band member Zayn Malik standing at the centre of group, it highlights just how far Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne have come since their time on the reality show.


Charting the group's journey from unknown teenagers to the world's biggest boy band, the video is sure to bring a tear to the eyes of dedicated Directioners. The three-minute video ends with all four band members walking in separate directions, reflecting the different paths they will each take during their break from the group.

OK so this is really more of a present for us rather than for him, but screw it. Happy birthday, Harry Styles - let's all enjoy your finest GIF moments.

As the One Direction hunk turns the big 2-0 and sees out his teenage years, we've taken the opportunity to spend far too much time rifling through every inch of Styles-based Tumblr goodness we could find.

#HappyBirthdayHarryStyles The 1D superstar told The Sun: “It was great. I was in stitches.”

Before adding, “She forgot her truncheon.”


Harry wasn't expecting the naughty treat, which had been all set up by his group of friends, with the ringleader being Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw and to add to the hilarity of the whole thing, one of the people in the group then said that he went to college with her!

Harry said of the riotous evening: “I was in stitches, it was really funny. We had a great night.”

And Nick Grimshaw managed to cover the whole surprise up pretty well, the curly haired pop star continued: “Grimmy said I had to sit there because he was bringing a cake."

“He started telling everyone to be quiet but I could see the cake in the kitchen and the candles weren’t lit, so I was like, ‘What’s going on?’"

"Then Grimmy said, ‘Someone in here is under-age’ and I saw a police hat bobbing through the crowd. I was like, ‘Oh no!’"

“The stripper didn’t really say anything, she just began her routine."

One Direction star Harry Styles is apparently getting serious about his relationship with American television personality/model Kendall Jenner. The British boy band member and the model are apparently thinking to move in together.

"They've decided to take things to the next level," an alleged source told In Touch Weekly. "Harry is going to move into Kendall's LA condo. They'll also be sharing his London flat when they're in the UK."

"They have so much in common — especially since they were both thrown into the spotlight at such a young age. They're perfect for each other," the insider added.

Jenner and Styles were first linked in November 2014 when they were spotted leaving a dinner date at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood. However, they split after dating for three months. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and Styles recently sparked romance reports after they were spotted getting intimate on a yacht at St Barts.

Harry Styles may be the next celebrity to make a guest appearance on Scream Queens -- and Lea Michele is freaking out!

In a new interview with InStyle magazine, the 29-year-old actress said that she's already looking forward to co-creator Ryan Murphy's plot for season 2 of the comedy series, especially because it may involve her One Direction crush.


"Nick was so funny on the show this year," Michele continued. "Obviously, Ariana is hilarious. Ariana is such a great actress. Nick was just so funny with that Joaquin Phoenix beard. He's walking around saying everyone thought he was Joaquin Phoenix. So funny."

Later, lads! Zayn Malik’s fallout with his former One Direction bandmates is bigger than ever. The singer revealed in a new interview with Billboard magazine that he’s no longer close with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson.

“The truth of it is you can think one thing about a situation and the total opposite can happen. I had every intention of remaining friends with everybody, but I guess certain phone numbers have changed and I haven’t received calls from a lot of people,” Malik, 22, said. “I’ve reached out to a few of them and not got a reply. Certain people have pride issues, but it’s stuff you overcome in time.”

“[I saw] my mum, who cooked me some great food. I ate for three weeks because I’d lost so much weight in the band,” the Brit continued. “I seen my sisters and put my dad’s sheepskin on — I walked around and everyone thought I was him. Nobody bothered me. It was good for my soul to be back in Bradford.”

One Direction, meanwhile, will take an extended hiatus beginning in March. 

Kris Jenner is said to be "over the moon" following reports that her daughter Kendall's romance with Harry Styles is back on. The pair sparked a Twitter frenzy after they were pictured sharing an intimate embrace on board a luxury yacht earlier this week, while holidaying with family and friends on the Caribbean island of Anguilla

Kendall, 20, and Harry, 21, were first romantically linked in 2013, after they were snapped on a dinner date in Hollywood. They remained friends throughout 2014, and were pictured on a skiing holiday together, but the romance appeared short-lived, with the pair going their separate ways after a few dates.

Over the last week Kendall Jenner has been enjoying a highly-publicised yacht trip with One Direction’s Harry Styles, momager Kris Jenner, Harry’s mum, Anne Twist, and his rumoured new manager, Irving Azoff, with the clan later being joined by Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia.


Kendall and Harry sent the media into a spin when they were papped getting cozy onboard the boat, but according to a US magazine, the couple are purely platonic because the 20-year-old supermodel is actually a lesbian.

Images of the article in the American publication of OK! began circulating on the internet last night, with the date of the mag being labelled as January 11th 2016, which is one week away.

They go on to add that Cara has played “a critical role” in helping her realise that she has romantic feelings for women, sharing: “She reassured Kendall that the stigma of being gay is gone and encouraged her to allow herself the freedom to be who she really is.”

The source continued: “Annie thought that eventually Cara’s infatuation with Kendall would die down but it’s only gotten deeper and Kendall is captivated by Cara.

“They’re two peas in a pod and there are more than a few people who think they’ve secretly hooked up.”


"Right now she’s single and enjoying herself.”

Harry is also no stranger to gay rumours, with the star putting fans into a frenzy last year when he hinted towards his sexuality in a stream of interviews, including saying that being a woman was “not that important” when he is looking for a partner.

Let’s get one thing straight, Harry Styles is one of the most recognisable names in the world right now with the One Direction star already reaching peak super-stardom.

However, with the curly-haired babe currently on a break from being a member of the biggest boyband on the planet, Jay Z reckons that he might need some help to succeed in a career away from One Direction.

We mean, we beg to differ but we’ll hear him out.

The US rapper reckons that he is the man that Harry should turn to in order to be a successful solo artist, with Jay believing that he has the power to team the 21-year-old up with the best artists and producers.

A source previously shared: “Harry has been writing constantly both when on the road and when doing his own thing.

"He’s managed to work on and record 20 songs already. Some of what he’s written in the past has been given to the band. But he’s been working hard on creating his own sound.”

It sounds like Lorde needs a vacation.

While Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles were spotted getting close on a yacht in St. Barts, the "Royals" singer Instagrammed that she's never had such a luxurious vacation.

"When you scroll through your feed and all the pretty famous boys and girls are on yachts or in Saint Barth's and you're at home where it's raining and you've never even been on a holiday to another country before," she Instagrammed to her 3.2 million followers on Instagram. "Never been to a tropical island let alone Saint Barth's and actually you aren't even sure if you're spelling Saint Barth's right."

While the caption seemed to be aimed at Kendall and Harry's holiday getaway, Lorde clarified that it was far from it. "Lol no 'shade' folks," she wrote. "If I were on an island or in even nearish proximity to a yacht, you would be hearing all the f**k about it."
