- Up All Night is out, order here!
- More news coming soon...

    Louis Tomlinson of One Direction has been singled out by bandmate Niall Horan over his allegedly stinky feet – which apparently leave the rest of the group reaching for their handkerchiefs.

    The Sun newspaper quoted Niall as saying: “Louis has the smelliest feet ever. He wears plimsolls with no socks so his feet get very sweaty and the sweat is captured.

    “If we are on a bus or something and he takes them off we all pretty much start gagging.”

    The jibe at poor Louis might take the heat off Niall a bit, after his dad this week revealed to the world that he has a “sweetheart” at home in Ireland – and discussed his love life in embarrassing detail.

    It seems Liam Payne has picked up quite a few American terms during his time in the US – and girlfriend Danielle Peazer isn’t pleased.

    The One Direction star, who recently returned from a break in the country with dancer Danielle, has been telling his Twitter followers about their ‘vacation’.

    ‘Still gotta upload some pics from my vacation will do soon :) universal studios orlando :),’ Tweets Liam, 18.

    Liam also toured the States with his band earlier this year and will be returning for more of the same later this month.

    ‘Vacation? You’re from England, we call it a ‘holiday’ over here. Loser :) xx,’ replies Danielle, 23.

    We actually got to meet Liam when he was here in Orlando. Our first time meeting any of the boys! He was such a sweetheart :) We were really grateful he stopped and took pictures with us even though he was on ‘holiday’ lol.

    We hope this is true! Whispers are growing louder that One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles may play Mick Jagger in a new film about the Rolling Stones.

    Styles is said to be auditioning soon for the coveted role in ‘Exile on Main St.,’ which will center on the legendary frontman and his right hand man, guitarist Keith Richards. Virgin honcho Richard Branson is said to be financing the project. A source dished, “Harry on stage can pass as a dead ringer for Jagger. If he can transform this image into a movie role then he’s going to be a serious candidate to get the part. The signs so far are good.” Maybe his role on ‘iCarly‘ impressed them!

    The only real caveat to Styles snagging the role would be the time constraints. 1D are gearing up for a slew of world tours promoting ‘Up All Night’ in both 2012 and 2013. The source says that the role is going to be “very demanding,” so that may complicate things seeing as the band is Styles’ No. 1 priority … aside from cougars, that is.

    The good news? Higher ups seem to be willing to wait for Styles if they need to. What do you think, Directioners? While he has the look for the part, based on his dancing onstage, we’re just not sure that Styles has the “moves like Jagger.” But there’s always choreographers to fix that!

    One Direction star Louis Tomlinson’s mum Johannah clearly approves of his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.

    Part-time model and Manchester University student Eleanor is currently in the middle of exam hell – so Johanna decided to treat her to a good luck present.

    ‘@EleanorJCalder Morning poppet! Hope your revising is going well. Bought you a little charm. Will send with Lou. #missyou Xxx,’ Tweets Johannah.

    But Eleanor has also proved herself to be generous and thoughtful – she’s posted a gift to 20-year-old Louis’ younger sisters.

    ‘Thankyou! :) It’s going ok, 3 days until I’m free! I have sent something to the house for the girls, should have arrived today. Xx,’ Eleanor, 19, replies to Johannah.

    ‘P.S I went to the white company the other day and they had a new addition to the fluffy family! Xx.’

    They’re known for having some of the most dedicated fans in the world, and last night One Direction’s followers proved this point.

    The young boy band were met by a hoard of screaming girls as they arrived at Heathrow airport despite it being midnight.

    The excited females clearly had an inkling that the X Factor stars would be arriving so late, and made sure they were there to greet them.

    Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson looked a little sleepy following their flight from Sweden but were no doubt expecting the warm welcome from their hardcore fans.

    The singers were in good spirits as they pushed their luggage through the terminal, but it seems they were trying to go unnoticed with their choice of attire.

    Both Zayn and Harry wore baggy beanie hats and at times tried to keep their heads down, but it wasn’t enough to keep the ladies away as one female walked side by side with Harry showing him pictures on her mobile phone.

    The curly-haired star teamed his green hat with a pair of black jeans and a matching baggy jumper as he grinned at the camera.

    Zayn, on the other hand, wore a grey hoody and a denim waistcoat as he was left pushing the overflowing trolley of holdalls and suitcases.

    Someone else who was allocated pushing duties was fellow band member Louis who not only had lots of luggage to push but also Liam too.

    As he pushed the trolley, the singer was seen with a phone being pressed against his ear as a fan no doubt begged him to speak to a friend or relative who was on the other end of the phone.

    Liam gave the photographers a huge thumbs up as he lazed on the luggage, while blonde Niall kept himself to himself as he pushed his own bags.

    Once outside the airport and sitting in their waiting vehicle, the singers still couldn’t escape the attention and posed for photos before being driven away.

    The group have so far had a very hectic year spending time in the U.S. promoting their music, and now doing the same in Europe.

    Yesterday it was announced that the boyband were among a number of acts on the line-up for the iTunes festival which takes place at Camden’s Roundhouse in London later this year.

    Harry said that they were delighted to be leading on stage graced by some of their favourite acts.

    ‘We’re so happy to be playing at the iTunes Festival this year,’ he said.

    ‘Every year we see some of our favourite bands and artists on the bill so to be part of the line up this year is obviously incredibly exciting and we’re hugely grateful for the opportunity. We can’t wait to see our fans at the Festival.’

    Harry on left; Mick on right.

    One Direction’s premiere album has been out scant two months (debuting at #1 no less), and due to their mammoth success, the group is already making plans for their 2013 summer tour. Yes, 2013. As in next summer. More than a full calendar year away. Clearly conquering the music industry, it seems one Directioner might be making moves to cross over into film. According to People.co.uk, heartthrob Harry Styles may be thinking about auditioning to play Mick Jagger in an upcoming Rolling Stones biopic. Swoonworthy stage appeal aside, there is definitely a physical likeness there, but the role of Mick Jagger would be as much about embodying the legend’s character as confidently carrying Mick’s unmistakable steez. Do we think Harry can do it?

    We already know that Styles has the statement blazer and swoopy bedhead on lock, but the film, which is reported to explore Jagger’s relationship with fellow Stone, Keith Richards during their work on Exile On Main St, would find Harry playing a young, early ’70s era Mick. That means COLOR, some mock turtlenecks, and a zany print or two. Judging from 1D’s Saturday Night Live stint, Harry should be totally fine. He just has to land/audition for the part first!

    If you haven’t yet managed to get your hands on tickets to see them live, we’re guessing you might be a little excited to hear that One Direction will be joining acts including Usher and Jack White to play a headline gig at this summer’s iTunes Festival in London.

    As far as we’re concerned, nothing beats seeing the 1D lads singing, dancing and swaggering about in the flesh so we are over the moon that they’ll be one of the headline acts at this years festival held at Camden’s Roundhouse.

    Performing on September 20, the lads will be one of 60 acts playing one of the free gig-a-day performances that take place at the venue over 30 days every September.

    “We’re so happy to be playing at the iTunes Festival this year,” Harry said.

    “Every year we see some of our favourite bands and artists on the bill so to be part of the line up this year is obviously incredibly exciting and we’re hugely grateful for the oppotunity.

    “We can’t wait to see our fans at the festival,” he added.

    Here’s the lineup so far..

    September 1 – Usher
    September 8 – Jack White
    September 10 – Norah Jones
    September 20 – One Direction

    Best of all, the whole thing is free as a whistle so you could end up screaming along to Up All Night without paying a penny for the privilege! All you need to do is apply to win tickets, which you can find out more about by clicking here.
