Zayn
Niall
Harry
Liam
Louis
Zayn is the hottest BY FAR. In about five years he'll be knockout.
They will be on Saturday Night Live this Saturday.
I saw them on the Kid's Choice Awards and couldn't get their song out of my head. I bought their CD and can't stop listening to it! I LOVE it! Some of their songs are surprisingly mature!
I think Niall might be my favorite. But... uh, how is that pronounced? Is it like Ny-ull or Ny-all or Neal?
There's a new blind item about One Direction. It says that two of the guys in the group are gay, and that one of them has a beard.
Any guess to who it might be?

I agree! Their CD is one of the best Pop albums to come along in awhile. They do have some surprisingly mature songs. The best is "Tell Me A Lie" written by Kellie Clarkson. It SO woulda been a #1 for her had she recorded it and it will be for them too if its released to radio. Some of these songs just like that one don't sound a thing boybandish. Its really a refreshing album. And them being so fucking hot on top of it, perfect combination! And I'm seeing them live in June!![]()
Here is the blind item and guess from the AGC Blind Items site
BLIND GOSSIP 04/05
If they were on a singing competition show, you would call them a Male Vocal Group. We prefer the term Boy Band. The group’s image determines their commercial success, and each member of the group is assigned a particular sterotype (such as The Bad Boy or The Baby or The Nice One) so that the band will have the widest possible appeal. There is a Boy Band consisting of beautiful young men that currently has young girls across the country screaming with admiration and desire. Their public image is wholesome. However, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that belies that image. For example, there’s one member of the group whose moniker could be The Gay One. That’s right. Your teen daughter may be swooning right now over someone who isn’t even interested in her gender. Oh, and there’s another member of the group who wouldn’t be interested in your daughter. His moniker could be… The Other Gay One. Yes, that’s right, two gay young men in one popular group. (Although one does have a beard to maintain that desirable image). And here’s the most interesting part of all: the two boys are sleeping with each other. Don’t tell your teen daughter. You don’t want her up all night crying because her mean parent destroyed her illusion. Besides, you eventually got over The Osmonds/ Menudo/ The Backstreet Boys, didn’t you? "One Direction "Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne
^ I would guess Niall and Liam/Louis rather than Louis and Liam. The article makes it seem like one of them has a beard and the other doesn't and both Louis and Liam have girlfriends.
I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them were gay but I don't really buy the sleeping with each other part.
My first guess was Niall and Liam.. they have just always come across as gay, especially Niall... I don't think they're sleeping together though.
But I do think Louis and Harry may share feelings for each other, even though they clearly like girls too.. whether they're bi, bi-curious or gay for each other.. I have no idea. The BI may refer to them, as Louis has a girlfriend and Harry doesn't.. I do find it kinda odd the way they're always touching each other, looking at each other with lust in their eyes, and they've even kissed too.. plus, they wanted to live together, while the other boys got a house for themselves. Either they're extremely close friends, or there's something more going on. Getting Louis a beard would be perfect to protect the image. Then people could just say "they're not gay! it's just a bromance.. Louis has a girlfriend after all."

Gossip = bullshit most of the time just to get some hits to their website using famous groups, artists, celebs, etc.
Though, I wouldn't be surprised if any of them turned out gay. I mean look at past boy bands at least one person turns out to be gay. Then again who cares?
Why are you even here then? I don't go on threads of celebs that I don't like JUST to say "I don't like them". You are aware that this board is named Male Celebrity News & GOSSIP, right? We have every right to gossip here. If you don't like it then, well.. too bad. Nobody is forcing you to be here or to read this.

When I read that blind, I immediately thought of One Direction. The group is a popular guess in their comment section as well. If it indeed is 1D, I'm going to say it's either Louis/Liam or Louis/Harry. I heard that Louis is the only member to have a girlfriend, which fits with the beard. Maybe a few others of the group join in on the fun, but are straight or curious.
As for the CD, today I actually ended up entering a one direction fan chat without really planning on staying, and they were playing most of their songs. Gotta say that it's actually pretty good and they will probably become my guilty pleasure of the year. My favorite songs so far are What makes you beautiful & Up all night.
To be honest by reading the blinder there is one group that spring to my mind
The Wanted............one of them has the beard
No one in 1Direction has any bodyhair at all, let alone beard
I really hope you're kidding, if not.. ROFLMFAO
Please look up what a "beard" is. Hint: it's not something on your face.
BTW.. the BI is about One Direction.. there's no doubt about it. The use of the word "One" so much, the "beautiful" clue, one of their songs is What Makes You Beautiful, and you also have that "singing competition" clue, they competed on the X-Factor. "You don't want to have her up all night" is also a clue.. their album title is Up All Night. But the most obvious clue perhaps is "they each have their own particular stereotype". Zayn is the bad guy, Niall is the bad boy etc.

Up until last week, the 'official' line was that Liam was the only one with a girlfriend. Louis had been reticent to refer to Eleanor as his girlfriend until last week when it became clear that people genuinely believed that he and Harry were an item.
My guess is that she was shipped in to squash the gay rumours (we're talking about homophobic American mentality here) - but my money is still on a Liam/Louis duo. Watch some of the early XFactor footage of them on YouTube.... I'm sure many of us will recognise something of ourselves in Liam.![]()
Here 5 very good shots of the boys:
Enjoy
Zain is fucking handsome I have to say![]()
One or more members of a currently-hot boyband may or may not be gay, but Blind Gossip is full of shit. They frequently write BIs (after the fact) to coincide explicitly with current events. They "reveal" BIs based on the shakiest of evidence, often citing random tabloid articles whose details sort of line up with the blind item as "proof." They block all comments that aren't sufficiently praiseworthy of the author's "insiderness." I'd believe Ted Casablanca long before Blind Gossip.
I don't care what any of their sexuality really is. Celebs in general are fantasy objects. They're all cute. I'm never sleeping with any of them, so it doesn't really matter to me who any of them actually sleep with. I think I gravitate toward Niall because he's the most "boyish" and innocent looking, so I don't have a problem finding him adorable. I think the one that could actually get me into some trouble is Liam!
EXACTLY! That is what I was thinking too. You really hit the nail on the head with that comment. I think the BI is referring to Louis and Harry, especially with the "sleeping together part". Now if it is real on the other hand.. probably not. It's still nice to guess. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them get Louis a girlfriend just so One Direction can maintain their sweet, innocent, heterosexual image. Louis and Harry got a bit too close, so now they brought in a gf for Louis.. it's perfect.. the fans are now saying "they are NOT gay, Louis has a gf.. it's just a cute bromance." It really is a smart way to cover it up if something is going on. And Louis tweeted something very cryptic last week about "newspaper bravery". All the fans were like what?!?! They didn't get it. This was RIGHT after a newspaper wrote about Harry and Louis. I really don't see what else it could have been. I've also seen two pics of them kissing.. on the mouth. Now I don't know how many straight male friends kiss on the mouth..
Now for your other guess.. I don't know.. Louis and Liam really haven't spent that much time together lately. Now if it was just two guys in the group who happens to be gay, then I would have actually said Niall and Liam, because they kinda ping. But I would definitely say Louis and Harry for the "sleeping together" part. They fit this BI to a t.
As for the BI being true.. it might, or it might not. We won't know either way. Then again.. it wouldn't be so far fetched if one or more of them turned out to be gay. Isn't there usually at least one gay in each boy band? Sure.. the BI is probably not true, but I still wouldn't be surprised if the future one of them came out.
I know they're fantasy objects.. I know we'll never have a chance to get with them anyway, but it's certainly a lot easier to fantasize about someone if they're gay.
My favorite in the band is definitely Louis. He's so hot. Gorgeous face, nice ass, fun personality.. damn. He has the whole package!

caught a little of their performance last night on SNL- Clearly lip syncing...always thought the L stood for Live....
^ naah, the 'L' now stands for 'Lame' or maybe 'Lacklustre'.

They're cute.
Niall's my favourite. <3
Actually.. I never thought Louis didn't like women.. same with Harry. I'm sure they do. But.. who's to say that they also don't like guys? Maybe they're bi, or bi-curious, or maybe just gay for each other.. who knows. I don't think the fact that he had a girlfriend in the past is reason enough to exclude him and Harry though, or him being gay/bi. Besides.. they're still young. I didn't realize I was bi until I was like 18 or 19 years old. I've heard of people coming to terms with their sexuality later than that too.
I think Louis's relationship with his gf is bogus. Now whether it's a beard because he's gay/bi, or someone management put him with because they had another reason.. who knows. But she seems so fake. Like someone said.. she cared more about posing for the papz when she was in LA with Louis, than actually being with him. Louis almost had to drag her along. Something just doesn't seem right with that relationship. Maybe she's just a famewhore, but she might also be a beard. They do say models make the best beards.. Oh well, we'll never know anyway, lol!![]()

I really liked them SNL. I thought their dance in the skit was pretty cute/funny, but they all seemed pretty nervous well except for Louis. Based on some interviews and his comfort in the show I think that Louis would be good for comedy.
Yeah.. that's much of the reason I like Louis. He always seem so comfortable, down to earth and not to mention smart. But he also has this fun side about him. Hasn't he always been seen as the fun guy in the group? I think he would be good for comedy too
And as I said before.. I really don't like the fact that it was obvious playback, I wish it would have been live. I have no idea why they didn't sing live, because I know they all have the voices for it.. hell, they were put together on their vocal abilities in the first place! It's not like they're not good singers, and have to depend on playback like.. lets say Britney. Sorry to all the Britney fans out there, I don't mean to disrespect her, but you have to admit that she doesn't have the best voice in the world, and she has been caught singing playback more than once..
Anyway, back to my point.. Fine, they didn't sing live, but we have no idea why.. I'm sure they had their reasons. Remember that they're still quite young and new to the biz, they were thrown into it. And maybe it was a good idea to do playback if they were really nervous. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.. we don't know why they didn't sing live, but I do hope that they won't make a habit of it though. They all have really good voices, it would be a shame to miss out on that live!

I'll tell you why I'm saying Liam and Louis.Go back to when they first went to the States in March. There was a huge story about the guys being banned from having sex - except for Liam, because he was the only one with a girlfriend. So that's given you the first guy, Liam.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and with a lot of focus suddenly on Harry and Louis for their 'bro-mance', suddenly Louis now has a 'girlfriend'... why not Harry? Well if they'd found Harry a girlfriend, it wouldn't have taken the focus from Louis and his 'touchy feely' interaction with others. As for Louis and Liam not really spending a lot of time together - ideal cover don't you think?![]()
They weren't lip syncing on SNL. It was clearly evident, especially since Harry, Niall and Zayn were flat a few times. The backing track was just too loud, especially on "One Thing" and kinda drowned them out.
Anyway. No disrespect quasar, but you have some facts wrong. Louis had a gf before they even came to America, and this was explicitly made known in all interviews. I've never seen a single interview where Liam proclaimed he was the only one with a gf. There's pictures and videos of Louis and Eleanor dating back to 2011, well before they entered the states.
Harry previously dated 32 year old TV host Caroline Flack also.
That BI was obviously about Harry and Louis, but it could've been written by anyone halfway familiar with the group and be believable. Trust me when I say the fans weren't worried when the BI came out. They're the ones who ship different members of the group together, make romantic youtube videos of them, and so forth.
Well.. that's not exactly true. Sure, many fans do ship them together, not denying that.. BUT most fans are shipping them as FRIENDS, as two friends who love each other, if that makes senseMost fans actually get quite angry if you insinuate that there's something going on between Harry and Louis. There's some fans who want them together, but they're definitely in the minority. Most fans ship the members of the group as friends, nothing more. If you even imply anything else they get really angry and defensive.. like just watch one of the thousands of Larry Stylinson videos on YT (Larry and Harry's slash name), and imply that they're together. Trust me.. you would get a lot of angry fans replying back. Most comments on a certain video are saying they love Louis and Harry together, but ONLY as friends.. and Louis even has a girlfriend.. so they can't possibly be together! (going by their logic). So trust me.. those wanting Louis and Harry together are in the minority. Which is why I believe that this BI could be real.. I'm not saying it is, but i definitely could be.
I do find it rather odd that they shipped in Louis's girlfriend on the same night that Harry went to a gay club though. No.. I'm not saying he's gay because he went to a gay club, but I do think there's the possibility he at least like guys in addition to girls. And I also find it rather odd that you now see Louis and the gf everywhere.. it's like they have to ship her in to cover up something. They obviously want to cover up the gay rumors, whether they're true or not. I also find it pretty disgusting that she seemed to care more about getting her pics taken when she was in LA, rather than spending time with Louis, Louis almost had to drag her along.. all of this isn't exactly helping the gay rumors. I'm just saying.. models usually make the perfect beards. The models get to be more famous, with the possibility of booking more jobs, and the gay guy gets a cover. It's the perfect deal. Now, I'm not saying this is what's going on with Louis and his gf, but I mean.. you never know. I just find some of these incidents weird. Either she's a famewhore or she's a cover up. Either way, I have a feeling it won't last. I have a feeling she is kinda using Louis. Which makes me basically hoping she's a beard. I don't want anyone mistreating my Louis! lol. No, but seriously.. maybe I've misinterpreted Louis's relationship with his girlfriend, maybe I'm reading too much into it.. I probably am. But if this isn't a bearding deal, and if she's using Louis, then I hope Louis realize that before it's too late.

Exactly. They weren't lip-syncing, they just sing quite good life. Despite this, it's easy to tell where spot mistakes to tell they were actually singing live. Harry's voice doesn't sound nearly as good as the recording.
Either way, it's obvious they're singing live. No-one else on the web seems to think they were lip-syncing as far as I can see. They have a lot of experience singing live in front of millions of viewers... they did it for like twelve weeks on the X Factor. They don't need to fake it.
As for the blind item, I don't know why people are all getting technical about it. They're not factual, so looking at data and who has a girlfriend and whatever, it makes no sense. Anyway, it's Harry and Louis. You'd need to be spaced out to think it was anyone else!
DP.
EDIT: Also, why the hell would they be pulling out their voice-track earpieces while they were singing if they were lip-syncing? Pulling them out is a sign of concern/distraction so they can sing better. They wouldn't even have them in the first place if they were lip-syncing.
The Daily Mirror seems to see through it too "1D’s Louis goes out with his girlfriend, which should prove that he’s not gay and secretly going out with Harry". If you hover on the link, you'll also see that it's in the 'weird celeb news' tag...
"The four single lads in the band - Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson - have been ordered: no girlfriends and no sex." The management may well only consider Liam's relationship to be a serious one because of the longevity. Either way, Louis and Eleanor have probably been photographed more times in the last week in order to squash rumours than they've been photographed in the previous 6 months!!!
At the end of the day it's just hilarious to see how hung-up America still is about homosexuality - it's okay for our teenage girls to have impure thoughts about horny young men, and dress up like sluts to get noticed, but god forbid one or two of the guys might be gay!
For what it's worth - and older members will be aware of this - my professional career is based in entertainment marketing, PR and management. Over the last 27years, I've been responsible for doing this kind of 'damage control' and creating stories for the media. All I'll say is that if it means that people think there's nothing going on between Louis and Liam or Louis and Harry etc, then their management have done their job...
My money is still on Louis and Liam though.![]()
You pretty much hit the nail on the head here. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Louis's girlfriend was a beard. It's funny actually.. many fans don't seem to buy their relationship, and have already smelled the fish (so to speak). Of course you have those shipping Louis and his gf.. thinking they're sooo cute together. But many people are quite vocal about her being a beard, especially the Larry Stylinson fans (those shipping Louis and Harry together). It's funny that she always seems like his best friend, she's more like his fag hag than anything else. I also find it odd that in LA she cared more about having her picture taken than actually spending time with Louis. Also.. why is she and Louis now all of a sudden hanging out so much together? Now all of a sudden they're tweeting each other and hanging out a lot.. this happened around the same time the gay rumors started to surface. Sure, there's always been rumors about Larry, but nothing serious. But then Harry went to a gay club, and he's also sported a "love is equal" tshirt multiple times. No.. this doesn't have to mean anything, but still.. it's odd that Louis's girlfriend is suddenly spending more time with him now after the more serious gay rumors started to fly around.. it's almost like the management got her there to do some damage control. It's just the timing of it all.. this all seemed to happen when the newspapers started to write about them being gay. Also compare Liam's relationship with his girlfriend.. isn't that much more on the down low? That seems more legit if you ask me. It's like Louis and his gf now all of a sudden are everywhere.. in the tabloids etc. That's usually a sign of some some closeting going on. It's also telling that this happened RIGHT when they were going to break into the US market. They don't want them to have girlfriends.. yet they don't seem to mind Louis and his gf being all over the place.. why? Maybe because it's better to come across as straight and taken than gay. Hmm.. I don't know. Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe it's not.. but the timing is definitely telling. It also always seems like models make the best beards (just look at many of the actors in Hollywood).
I'm not sure about Louis and Liam.. maybe my shipper heart just wants Louis and Harry together.. I don't know. I definitely think that something is off with Louis' relationship with his supposed "girlfriend" though. I just don't buy it. So I think there's definitely a possibility that Louis is the gay one with a beard. And the other one.. I don't know. The only obvious choice would be Harry.. but then again.. maybe it's too obvious, like you say? Then again.. maybe the management got the girlfriend with Louis so they could say that the constant touching between Harry and Louis is just a bromance? Just two friends.. that way they can hide in plain sight.. maybe they want to be together, and this was a way for the management to find a compromise and a solution. Ugh.. I don't know.. pure speculation at this point. I just think Louis and Harry's relationship is a bit too.. touchy feely. I've seen a couple of pics of them kissing on the moth too, and they live together.. that coupled with the eye fucking, constant touching and looks of jealousy.. hmm.. there could be something there. That's all I'm saying..![]()

Mine too! He's perfect. He has the whole package! Gorgeous, fun personality.. and I love his relationship with Harry.
Zayn is pretty, but only that.. pretty. I don't think his personality is all that either.. Louis has more sex appeal I think. Louis is just so confident and sexy!![]()

I don't think Zayn has much sex appeal either (and I don't like his singing voice), but I don't think any of the others are even good-looking.
Liam is so studly!!!! Louis is too pretty. Zayn is cute. Harry is adorable. Niall is kind of boring :/
Re: shipping
I haven't seen much platonic shipping. Trust me. I've been all over tumblr, twitter, and livejournal. These girls write graphic, sexual fanfics shipping the band members. They even addressed it in an interview and stated that they found it amusing that fans genuinely thought they were in relationships with each other.
Re: Louis's beard
My "correction" was only really to the timeline. I do agree that I have a very strong feeling that Louis is a part of the LGBTQ community and that Eleanor is his beard. And yeah, she pretty much showed up when Louis was the butt of many gay rumors (back in 2011 in the UK). Interestingly enough, they were supposedly set up by Harry. :P
Has anyone seen/heard of the "nude" pic of Harry that's circulating. You can see the face because the flash is blocking it but you can see everything else. He denies it is him but the way him and the rest of the guys are, I can believe it is. It was supposedly taken while they were in the X Factor house. By the looks of the pic, Harry is hung.
Just do a search for Larry Stylinson on Youtube, watch the video with the most views (I think it has almost 500 000 views right now). I can't post it here, because I'm pretty sure many of the clips are from they were underage.. well.. at least Harry. Read the comments made on that video. Sooo many of them say they enjoy watching Louis and Harry together, but that it's JUST a bromance, and that they're both straight etc. The minority say they're together. It's just that the shippers are so fucking obsessed with them you know.. and there's quite a few Larry shippers out there, even though the majority still believes it's just a bromance.. fuck, they get extremely defensive if you tell otherwise. Again.. the whole Larry thing on tumblr.. those fans are still in the minority, even though they're VERY vocal about them.. lol
Exactly! And the plot thickensRe: Louis's beard

Did you guys hear about what happened to Zayn and Louis in Sydney? It was just major LOL!
