one direction

Across the pond in the U.K., plenty of pop stars were enjoying themselves at the 2013 BRIT Awards.

The Kids Choice Awards nominations have been announced and leading the pack this year are One Direction and Taylor Swift. That makes sense, since these acts are two of the most popular among the "kids." We'll ignore the fact that Swift and 1D's Harry Styles were coupled up until a few weeks ago, so they are forever linked, at least in our minds.

Somebody call the wah wah wahmbulance and cue the Justin Timberlake song! Taylor Swift is crying a river. The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer may have put on a brave face since splitting with One Direction hunk Harry Styles almost a month ago, but she can't turn off the waterworks.

Haylor ended 2012 and entered 2013 with a romantic kiss. Taylor Swift, who performed on 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' before the stroke of midnight, and boyfriend Harry Styles of One Direction shared a romantic kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve in New York City. These two kids – so in love!

Oh boy. Are One Direction headed in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' direction? The band will be the subject of a fan fiction novel that's going to print from Penguin Press!

One Direction are the breakout stars of 2012, and they’re such a big deal that each member of 1D got his own MTV Video Music Awards promo video. And they’re all alike — and all hilarious.

Move over Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber,  the British - Irish group One Direction is taking America by storm.  After finishing 3rd on The X Factor (UK series 7), they were given a record deal, sold out their UK debut tour 'Up All Night', and just sold out Madison Square Garden in 60 seconds.

They’re musical, adorable and hilarious. Is there anything One Direction can’t do? The band not only performed ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and ‘One Thing’ on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night (April 7), they also acted in the sketch comedy staple — something they hinted at in a recent interview.

Cue the heartbreak of teen girls everywhere. One Direction are not — we repeat, are not — recording with Justin Bieber.
