Rod Stewart appears to have confirmed speculation his daughter Kimberly is dating One Direction star Harry Styles by letting slip about their relationship during a U.K. TV interview.

It was reported last month (Apr13) that the pop hunk, 19, had struck up a romance with the 33 year old, who shares a young daughter with actor Benicio del Toro.

One Direction star Harry Styles ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack, who dated the singer briefly last year, got to throw a bottle of urine in the teen heartthrob's face on Tuesday.

Appearing on British show "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff, Flack took part in a challenge called "Urine the Line of Fire," where she had to choose between Styles, British singer Olly Murs and another ex of hers -- singer James Arthur. Without hesitation the 33-year-old British TV star giggled as she hurled the pee at the One Direction star.

Of course, it was only a cardboard cutout of Styles and not really him.

One Direction star Harry Styles had to be rescued by bodyguards outside his hotel in Norway on Tuesday (07May13), after an over-eager female fan ran past security and threw herself at the singer.

A barricade was put up outside the Holmenkollen Park Hotel in Oslo to keep the boyband's crowds of devotees at a distance as the What Makes You Beautiful hitmakers exited the building, but one excited fan managed to sneak past the security officials to get up close and personal with her pop idol.

Former N Sync singer Lance Bass has a feeling that one of the members of popular boy band One Direction is gay.

The singer, who kept his own sexuality secret during his group's heyday to protect the band's image, feels that the same thing could be going with one of the members -- Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson -- of 1D.

"Statistically speaking, one probably is (gay)," Bass tells The Rubin Report. "It's crazy with a market like that, because 100 per cent is young women, and they fantasize about these guys. Then you have the record label and everyone g...

On Thursday, British-Irish boy band One Direction were excited when they finally came face-to-face with their waxwork doubles at Madame Tussauds' official unveiling in London.

Employees at the tourist attraction have spent months recreating the stars in detail for the life-like figures, which will tour Madame Tussauds branches around the world after a stay in the British capital.

Each band member gave two sittings so the Madame Tussauds team could take hundreds of precise measurements, examine their skin tones, eye colors and hair - which was also double checked by personal hair stylist...

The ongoing feud between One Direction and The Wanted heated up on Sunday as the boy bands exchanged barbs over Twitter.com.

The two pop groups have enjoyed a friendly rivalry in the past, but the fight turned nasty after One Direction's Louis Tomlinson made a sly dig at The Wanted during a recent gig in London.

Tom Parker apparently took exception to his comments and tweeted, "You even talk about us at your own gigs. Are you that upset you didn't get in this band?" to which Tomlinson replied, "Pal, we both know I wouldn't waste my time auditioning for your band. You humor me with your ...

One Direction star Harry Styles got some new ink to add to his already huge collection of tattoos, the latest one a giant butterfly done by artist Liam Sparkes of London's Shangri-La Tattoo Parlour.

One look at Liam's other works on his tumblr and flickr pages shows that the artist often inks similar designs on his patrons.

In fact, a lot of Liam's work is a bit disturbing, actually, and rightly so with the flickr handle "liam666."

The photo of Harry's new tat, since removed from Sparkes's pages, started making headlines only recently despite being posted on January 22.

Harry Styles was floored during One Direction's show in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday after he was hit in the groin with a shoe.

The five-piece performed for fans at the city's Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, and they paused the gig part-way through to answer questions from fans.

One enthusiastic audience member threw a shoe onto the stage, and as Styles held it, he was hit in the crotch by another piece of footwear.

The star fell to the floor and as he attempted to regain his composure, bandmate Liam Payne told the crowd, "Well, he has just been assaulted."

The Culture Club frontman took his young relative Molly Fitzpatrick to the London music prize-giving as a treat so she could spend the night in the company of her favorite stars, but, after snapping pictures with One Direction's Harry Styles and Niall Horan, she was left disappointed as Payne was rushed past the pair's table.

The One Direction singer talked with U.K. radio station Capital FM about his group's upcoming Comic Relief charity single, One Way or Another, which they will perform during the BRIT Awards. Coincidently, Swift will be performing during the awards show, as well.

Please don’t freak out when you read the title of this article.

Yes, British-Irish boyband One Direction were in the slammer for a while, before breaking out of prison with their bad-ass motorcycles and fleeing to Hawaii where they wore shirts that practically screamed, “I’M A TOURIST!”

Don’t worry people, One Direction’s legal record, as far as we know, is squeaky clean and Zarry isn't real (or is it...?). The boys were “jail-rocking” in their music video for their latest U.S single “Kiss You”. Just like most of their music videos (actually, all of them with the exception of “Little Th...

When the current baktun of the Mayan calendar comes to a close on December 21, 2012, many prophecies say the world will end.

Mind you, this prophecy comes from a race of people who couldn't predict their own civilization's end, so how credible are they in predicting the end of the world in our time?

The sun will rise and life will probably go on as usual tomorrow, but for now we've come up with a list of celebrities that -- if the world does end -- you won't miss.
