One Direction’s Niall Horan and Harry Styles showed off some pretty graceful ballroom dancing moves during the group’s show in Louisville, Kentucky on June 16. As the pair start off in graceful synchronization, they end up falling over each other when Niall was supposed to dip Harry but instead let him fall backwards. Now is that any way to look after your dancing partner, Niall?
First twerking, now ballroom dancing? I’d say someone get these guys onto Dancing with the Stars but then again… maybe not.

As if we didn’t already know, the boys of One Direction proved to us that they have some sweet moves when they twerked on stage during their performance in Miami, Florida on Friday night (June 14).
Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson showed that there is nothing they wouldn’t do for their fans. When they got a twitter request to do the dance move, the band members gave it their all.
Leave it to Niall to be the first one to get low and for Louis to follow his lead. These boys will really do anything for their fans.
The boys are currently on their Take Me Home tour and hopefully will be twerking on stages worldwide.
One Direction has filmed a promo in support of U2 frontman Bono’s “ONE” poverty campaign. The “ONE” campaign hopes to completely eliminate world’s poverty rate by the year 2030.
This is just One Direction’s latest charity endeavour. Earlier this year Harry Styles, Zayn Malick, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson visited Ghana and recorded the single “One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)” in support of the annual Red Nose Day. They have also vowed to donate £200, 000 (or $319,598.62) from next year’s “Where We Are Tour” to a cancer charity.
One Direction has also just recently teamed up with Office Depot for their Live Love Move Campaign to end bullying in North America. They released this promo of the boys acting silly in support of the cause.
One Direction aren’t the only famous faces lending their time to Bono’s charity, their BFF Ed Sheeran has also voiced his support by recording this cover of Bob Dylan’s “Master’s of War.” Which is brilliantly done I may add.
More videos for the “ONE” Campaign can be viewed on their YouTube page.
If you’ve ever wondered what a One Direction and Little Mix duet would sound like, wonder no more because the same guy who brought us the amazing Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato mash-up is back with “Rock My DNA.”
The mash-up from Earlvin14 mixes 1D’s “Rock Me” and Little Mix’s “DNA” and is AMAZAYN! (Just a little 1D humour there.) If only we could see this happen in real life. Just imagine how cute Zayn and his Lil’ Mix girlfriend, Perrie Edwards, would look together on stage! I even hope she paints his nails for the occasion!
What do you think of the “Rock Me” and “DNA” mash-up? Tweet us your thoughts @ANDPOP.

The boys of One Direction have been pretty busy lately with their Take Me Home tour but they took some time to team up with Office Depot for their latest anti-bullying campaign.
The “1D+OD Live, Love, Move” project shows the lads’ faces plastered all over school supplies, which will be distributed by Office Depot throughout the US and proceeds will go towards an anti-bullying educational program. No word yet if the stationary will be available here in Canada but let’s keep our fingers crossed for that.
The boys had a hand in designing all of the products and here is a bit of a sneak peak of what to look forward to:
The products will be available just in time for the new school year, which might be the first thing ever to get you excited to go back to school.
WATCH THE ONE DIRECTION OFFICE DEPOT ANTI-BULLY CAMPAIGN VIDEO BELOW:
Have you ever dreamed of travelling with One Direction as a crew member on their current European tour? Well, now you can make your dreams into reality—kind of.
One Direction’s musical director Jonathan Shone tweeted a link to behind-the-scenes video of behind-the-scenes video containing footage of the tour’s crew hopping from city to city with the boys.
Shone tweeted the video on the last night of the tour:
Last night of the tour! getting ready!!
great times. youtube.com/watch?v=EHWYkN…
— Shoney (@JonShoneKeys) May 26, 2013
The video is packed with fun silly moments and the crew hanging out with the members of the boy band.
The video makes you wish you had the job of this crew member who got to travel Europe with our favourite British boyband. Dreams can come true, right?
Weeks after teasing fans on Twitter with cryptic messages, One Direction have announced their 2014′s Where We Are Tour at a press conference at Wembley Stadium Thursday. Talk about a packed schedule as One Direction are already incredibly busy with their current 2013 world tour!
Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles are just as excited for their upcoming adventures as their loyal fans.
“We are ecstatic,” said Niall. “We have only been a band for three years and we’re already doing stadiums – including Wembley.”
Harry also chimed in and shared what fans can expect on the tour: “It’s important the fans and everyone who comes to see the show know it’s going to be much bigger and new songs. A completely different tour.” Bigger and different – well count me in!
They also took the opportunity to share some news on the new album, the one their pal, Ed Sheeran, said was already finished. Louis shared that the album would take the band in a, ahem, new direction (ZING!), “There will be a new album this year. It’s taken a slightly rockier tone.”
“We made it a lot more edgier,” added Liam.
The tour will take the boys all around the world, promising to hit up every country. It’s set to kick off in Latin America on April 25, 2014 and will continue on to Ireland and The U.K. Before you get your heads in tizzy, they have also promised a U.S. leg and I’m sure they wouldn’t forget about their Canadian fans. You can keep posted on all the upcoming dates HERE.
Well they weren’t kidding when they said they’d have a huge announcement. I don’t know about you but I need a lie down after all that.
Whether it’s in interviews or their tomfoolery behind the scenes, the boys in One Direction no doubt have loads of fun when they’re together. And even though choosing their best on-air moments is like choosing which member has the best hair, I took on the task and listed some of the funniest moments of the lads.
One Direction Get Pranked On Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway
In this prank the boys are led to believe that they are meeting two fans on a New Zealand morning show who couldn’t make it to their show in New York because their dog “Zayn” was hit by a car. The best part about this video is how Harry is pretty much the only one who is trying to help his fainting fan.
Louis and Zayn Prank Harry, Liam and Niall
How can we forget the time when Louis and Zayn pranked Niall, Liam and Harry at Nickoledeon by making them think they were going to deliver a baby? Again, can we just appreciate how concerned Harry is in this moment?
Come to think of it, if there’s anything to take away from these two pranks it’s that I hope Harry’s there in the case of an emergency.
Then there was the time they were briefly known as “Juan Direction” on SNL
Well, here’s some news that made it feel like it’s Christmas morning.
They may be on their Take Me Home world tour, but the boys of One Direction have also been working hard on their third album. They hope to have out by Christmas and it looks like they may just hit that goal.
In a recent interview with MTV, their ginger buddy, Ed Sheeran, let the cat out of the bag by claiming that the album is already finished! (Cue the squeals!) But if you were hoping for another Ed Sheeran/1D collaboration, you won’t find it on this next album. Deciding to keep his songs for himself this time around, Ed didn’t contribute anything.
“I haven’t done any songs on this one; I’ve actually kind of cut myself from giving any people songs at the moment, because I want to make my album,” he said. “Once my album’s done, then we’ll see. But their album is already finished.”
Ed has become One Direction’s biggest collaborator, having donated already three songs for their last couple of records, having written hits like “Moments” for Up All Night, “Over Again” and the swoon worthy “Little Things” for Take Me Home.
Ed or no Ed, this album is will be at the top of every Directioners’ Christmas list and have us dancing with joy. Yay!
Say what you will about the boys of One Direction, one thing’s for sure, they keep upping the adorable factor. Louis and Zayn are going to have one sweet ride during the American leg of their Take Me Home Tour as they might be seen rolling up in a real life version of Scooby-Doo‘s Mystery Machine.
There’s been talk of the boys putting down £70, 000, (roughly $109.9 thousand CAD) on the bus. It looks like it’s all finally coming together, and of course Louis had to share his excitement through Twitter.
Decked out in colours you can’t miss with “The Mystery Machine” painted in large orange lettering, you have to wonder if this a good idea. I mean the “mystery” is pretty much gone and I can just see the fans now on the look-out for a large turquoise van roaming the streets of their city this summer. Nonetheless, it’s pretty cool. Maybe they should go all out and drive around disguised as the characters.
One Direction made a surprise appearance during Sunday night’s Juno Awards, a.k.a. the Canadian Grammys.
The adorable boy band helped host, crooner Michael Bublé, introduce the “Call Me Maybe” singer from Manchester via satellite. Bublé feigned some nerves as he bantered with Liam, Niall, Zayn, Harry and Louis, asking the boys if they liked stuff. If I were Bublé, I would’ve asked them if they like cheese.
After that adorable introduction, Jepsen went on to perform a medley of her songs. She went on to pick up three JUNO awards, including Single of the Year (for “Call Me Maybe,” naturally) and Album of the Year for her sophomore album Kiss. Kiss also landed Jepsen the Pop Album of the Year award during the pre-broadcast gala.

The boys of One Direction have finally met their match as they helped to unveil their new Madame Tussauds wax figures on Thursday.
The boys got a little silly as they were posing with their wax counterparts in London, England with Liam Payne opting to pick the nose of his new friend.
The boys also tweeted this from their group account:
1D waxworks have hit @madamtussauds! If you’re off to London we want to see your pics of the (waxy) guys. 1DHQ x twitter.com/onedirection/s…

Directioners were left in a tizzy of emotions after they thought they heard One Direction’s Harry Styles mention ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift during his solo in “Little Things” during their Newcastle gig.
http://onedirectionswagmasta.tumblr.com/
But before the “Haylor” bashing starts all over again, rest assured that this is all most likely either, a joke courtesy of his fellow bandmates, which wouldn’t be a first. Cue flashback of Harry getting pantsed onstage by Liam. There’s also a chance are it’s a complete misunderstanding, i.e. hearing ”Ted” and even “pet” instead.
So what do you hear when Harry sings “And I’m in love with you?” at the 1:40 mark?
If you’re the few Directioners and The Wanted fans who are casually scrolling through Twitter and Tumblr today and wondering, “Woah! What the heck happened last night?” Here is a full display of the Tom Parker and Louis Tomlinson Twitter fight of 2013.
Apparently Louis spoke some words about their rivals at a recent gig that Tom didn’t quite find amusing and which sparked this tweet:
Then Louis took a crack at the whole Max and Lindsay story
Then Liam decided to join on the fun:
Hold on to your fangirl seats Directioners, because the boys have released an alternate video for “Kiss You!”
http://loving-directioner.tumblr.com/
The boys have been having a lot of fun with their latest album Take Me Home. After dressing up as sailors, surfer dudes, skiers and “Jail House” inmates for “Kiss You,” it’s no surprise that silliness ensued during filming. Showing some behind the scenes footage, the alternate video shows the guys cracking jokes and joking with one another in between shoots. One thing (no pun intended) is for sure, you’ll have as much fun watching it as they did filming it.
Animator Mark Parsons is back with a new instalment of the Adventurous Adventures of One Direction 2. YAY!
in his little intro before the actual video (which is dedicated to Zayn: “Ain’t nobody as dope as you”), Parsons explains the background of this new video. He received letter from two fans after his first AAoOD video asking him to pretty much animate a fanfic story line for them.
Well, lucky for the Natalie and Sarah (the two fans who wrote to Parsons) he did and they are now cartoon dating Niall and Harry.
To be fair, at the time of writing this, I only got through the beginning (the video is a half an hour long), but so far it’s pretty funny. I’d totally be friends with cartoon Harry. I also totally agree with cartoon Louis and Liam that the Louis doll is kind of scary. Here’s what doll Louis looks like in real life:
Anyways, make sure to tell us what you think!
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW:
Once upon a time, there was this really beautiful man named Elvis who made his fans LITERALLY swoon when he performed. You might have heard of him. If not, that’s okay, because the modern-day swooners of our time have taken inspiration from Elvis’ “Jail House Rock” for their upcoming music video. Of course, I’m talking about One Direction.
The boy band has been teasing their fans for the past few days with snippets of their latest single “Kiss You.” Based on the footage from the Bring Me to 1D contest, the guys are seen doing strange things on a motorcycle, prancing around in a jail, and dancing on surf boards. This all makes sense.
In the meantime, whilst we wait anxiously for the full video to come out, the guys have blessed us with a convenient lyric video for the song. And I will be conveniently humming this to myself for the rest of my life in a non-apologetic manner.
Listen to “Kiss You” here:
So right now the interwebz is currently freaking out over NoPetsAllowd‘s mashup of Ke$ha’s “Die Young” and One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young.” The mashup is pretty genius — Ke$ha’s voice flows seamlessly with the guys’. It’s almost like they got together in the studio and made the mashup in perfect harmony. Can you imagine Ke$ha and the boys of 1D in the same room? Hairspray and glitter everywhere.
This mashup is so catchy that it might be (emphasis on might) better than the songs themselves. It’s basically impossible to get out of your head once you’ve heard it.
So I guess now we can add this mashup to the collection of Ke$ha-One Direction hybrids that have been circulating the internet, like SmadaLeinad‘s version. At some point our minds are going to melt from 1D-Ke$ha combinations. Just make a duet already.
Listen to the mashup here:
One Direction was taunting us everyday with the many countdowns to their new music video “Little Things” and my head was about to explode in anticipation. It’s finally here and #LittleThingsOnVEVO is already trending on Twitter.
The guys were pretty practical with the music video too, filming it in a recording studio as they casually sing and look adoringly into the camera. Overall, the video is pretty low key. It was shot in black and white and has a simple theme, which makes sense considering it’s a slower ballad. This way, we really get to focus on the message of the song (that you’re BEAUTIFUL) and their ridiculously good-looking profiles.
Also, how bout these gifs from magnificent-mofo, huh?

The December issue of Vogue U.K just got dreamier. The guys of One Direction are the stars of the issue, featuring supermodel Edie Campbell. Scratch that, the real stars of the photo shoot are the suits, ties, and varsity jackets that the guys wear.
We should give an epic slow clap to the stylist behind this genius wardrobe. It’s a cool change from the guys’ everyday outfits that are a bit on the preppy side. No matter what, they’ll always be beautiful.
Here are some photos from the Vogue U.K December issue:
These personalized varsity jackets have me swooning.
Let’s just appreciate Zayn’s “the think” pose. Honourable mention to Liam.
Niall. Fail. (I still love you.)
