one direction

One person who is decidedly not Team Kendall when it comes to Harry Styles (besides his ex Taylor Swift)? Oh, just Simon Cowell. And it's Kris Jenner's fault.

If One Direction had you swooning with their hit 'What Makes You Beautiful,' you need to check out the teaser for their upcoming 'Sesame Street' parody, 'What Makes U Useful.'

Even though One Direction are still in a very young phase of their billion dollar career, the boys are readying an autobiography. They've accomplished a lot in the past few years and they have a story to share with dedicated Directioners.

Liam Payne has ignited a Twitter controversy. Yesterday (Jan. 18), the One Direction member angered many fans after praising Willie Robertson of 'Duck Dynasty' for his "family values" in an eyebrow-raising tweet that has since been deleted.

Phew! Niall Horan of One Direction had to get some serious surgery -- but he's already on the mend!

I know at least one person who won't be getting backstage passes to a One Direction show any time soon...

Hell hath no fury like a Directioner defending a One Direction member scorned. Or, at the very least, insulted by a music magazine.

Lots of happenings in One Direction's world right now.

Directioners are a bit worried about Liam Payne, who often takes the role of the levelheaded and responsible spokesman and "dad" of the boy band.

Congrats to Taylor Swift! The 'Sweeter Than Fiction' singer took home the most cash out of any tour in 2013 -- and she was in great company, too.

Harry Styles recently won an injunction that prevents the paps from coming too close and encroaching on his space to take pictures of him. That same situation applies to his "relationship" with Kendall Jenner. Apparently Hazza has laid down the law, refusing to have their "dates" featured on her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.'

One Direction's brand is marketed in all sorts of ways. From fragrances to clothes to bedsheets, 1D and their faces are everywhere. The boys and their marketing team have found a utilitarian way to promote the brand, as well. They've teamed with British eyewear company Vision Express for 1D-branded reading glasses expressly for females.
