basically just read everything hazel ever says

So what song are they talking about? You know, "the best song ever"? They dance to it ALL NIGHT. What song could possibly be good enough to play again and again and again AND AGAIN AND AGAIN? AND DANCE TO? ALL NIGHT?

That one about Lucky.

we're up all night to dance to get lucky, all night

"Like, I'm pretty sure Larryshippers, mostly have a reasonable level of belief that This Relationship Exists. "Spurious evidence" is kind of beside the point. Like I said upthread, these guys are deliberately allowing fans to cultivate their shipping fantasies. Evidence isn't an issue.

yeah, an interesting thing about one direction is how shipping-aware they seem to be. not sure whether this is a new thing -- shipping was around (HOLY SHIT WAS IT AROUND) for bsb/nsync but I'm not sure how much they played to it. for all I know they totally did and I just didn't notice it.

It's like these 1D fans have never heard of fanservice or something

"Best Song Ever" debuted in Billboard at number two, but then sunk into the bottom part of the top twenty in week number two and is now out of the top twenty in week number four. Haven't heard it on the radio.

It hasn't left the top 20 on iTunes since release, so at the very least, it's weekly sales have been relatively strong and consistent. But yeah radio seems hesitant to fully jump on board.

Came expecting to see a picture of a Joy Division t-shirt. Leaving disappointed.

idg why VMA audience would boo them

Disgruntled Joy Division fans.

"best song ever" is surely their best song since "what makes you beautiful"

nah, "kiss you" is their best work

oh yeah, i do like that one too

We have a "Hit Music" station and a "Star" station in the city where I live. Looks like it's #43 on the former and not in the top 100 on the latter.

so what's this movie like, is anyone going to go see it

i didn't go see the justin bieber movie or the katy perry one either

these movies are all 'recent concert footage interspersed with adorable home movies of the performers singing as little kids' right?

Why can't we have another spiceworld is what I'd like to know

you want Elvis Costello in a One Direction movie?

Idk itvwas a pretty fun movie! As brit films of the nulab era go I like it more than oh trainspotting

YES spiceworld is kind of wonderful

Gabriel Agbonlahor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taking Out Twats is What This LAD does.

Gabriel Imuetinyan "Gabby" Agbonlahor (born 13 October 1986) is an English footballer of Nigerian-Scottish heritage who plays for Aston Villa and also an arsehole for hurting our louis

A spew-inducing reducer. Beautiful.

Shame that guy's knee joint only works in one direction.

:D

I am privileged to have witnessed this first hand. Also, he runs like a girl.

he must be in the bottom 5 players to have donned the hoops in your time, surely

idk there ought to be some unwritten rule that random slebs in a charity football game are not to be treated the same as (ex)professionals or targeted for bantz inducing comedy violence

although im sure having spent a year in chemotherapy stiliyan petrov appreciated watching an emaciated dude being sick in front of him

the camera angle just doesn't seem to show the impact.

agbonlahor had 3 different women pregnant at the same time when aged 20 or something iirc, he's not known for reserve

he must be in the bottom 5 players to have donned the hoops in your time, surely

Right down there with Gerard Butler, aye.

I can't find a good YouTube version to embed or anything but "Diana" off their new album is a jam.

It is! A couple of the "rock" numbers are astonishingly confident; somebody's been listening to Def Leppard.

Yeah, some of them are a bit too reverent of the source material they're pulling from, but it's an interesting new approach from a band known for uptempo glossy power-pop and they mostly pull it off. Seems a few of current young popstars have one eye keenly on the rock acts of yesteryear between this album, Ke$ha's LP last year, and most of Demi Lovato's first two albums.

one track -- I forget which -- is the male version of Ke$ha's "Gold Trans Am," not like the world needed it.

Though "Diana" is still the "uptempo glossy power-pop" that Greer speaks of but it's pretty much the second best thing they've done in this vein (behind "Kiss You", of course).

completely behind this

directioners otm

Thank you for reading, and justice for all!

this is either inadvertently genius or a tip-off that it's a gag

love this

on their nico & vinz wave i'm down

lovely

'midnight memories' is a seriously phenomenal album, it makes me emotional

when the night is coming down on you
we will find a way through the dark

maybe this is a wikipedia prank but if not...

6. "Our Girls"
Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Good Charlotte
7. "Little Rebels"
Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, John Legend
8. "Fire"
Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, 1975
9. "Feel This"
Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Fall Out Boy

almost definitely a well put-together fake tracklist, but they have been confirmed to be writing with all of those artists

"just can't let her go" was a leaked demo from before 'midnight memories' so severely doubt there's any truth to the song titles
