Louis Tomlinson and Tom Parker are in rivaling boy bands and while they are both hugely popular, tension has clearly been lingering between them. It all started when Louis sarcastically mentioned The Wanted at one of the band’s gigs over the weekend. That led Tom to take to Twitter to defend his band — and royally slam Louis.

Harry Styles reportedly got some new ink.

The One Direction guys love their tattoos, and recently Louis Tomlinson added to his collection with a teacup on his arm. In true celebrity form, he debuted the photo on social media. So why a teacup? Some speculate it was inspired by one of his band’s latest songs.

There is an epidemic in the world of One Direction’s heart throb Harry Styles. The guy keeps getting his family jewels nailed by projectiles from audience members. See the recent not so soft-shoe strike and then catch an earlier clip in which Harry suffered yet another hairy hari-kari mishap. For the love of America’s Funniest Home Videos can the groin blasting stop!?!

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles rang in the New Year together in New York City last night where they were spotted sharing their first kiss of 2013. Taylor was in town to perform during the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve show, but she didn’t let that stand in the way of her and her new beau smooching it up at midnight. Luckily, there were hundreds of thousands of other on the street with them with cell phones so we got a photo of the momentous event as well as a video clip!

Taylor Swift and One Direction’s Harry Styles are officially an item. Well, at least according to new photos and video of the pair. Over the weekend, the two singer were spotted at Central Park where they hung with friends and took in the sights at the Central Park Zoo. This wasn’t the first time these two have been linked and judging by the way Harry speaks of Taylor, it won’t be the last.

It’s Friday, and that usually means it’s time to kick back and party, so every Friday we’re gonna round up some of the hottest new music to help everyone get their party on. This week we’ve got Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and One Direction (well, we’ve got some artwork.)

I’ve never heard of the Irish boy band One Direction but there was something irresistible about the twit-pic that singer Zayn Malik posted from the studio. What that irresistible something is would be the fact that a boy band member’s bum apparently has the ability to hypnotize as a young fellow in the pic seems absolutely lost in the glowing beauty of that backside. Unintentionally, they have created a new internet meme “The Photobum.” Check it out!
