Days after Zayn Malik left the One Direction tour, he announced today that he is leaving the band.
1D posted this message on their Facebook page:
After five incredible years Zayn Malik has decided to leave One
Direction. Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis will continue as a four-piece and look forward to the forthcoming concerts of their world tour and
recording their fifth album, due to be released later this year.
Zayn says: “My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I’d like to apologise to the fans if I’ve let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight. I know I have four friends for life in Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall. I know they will continue to be the best band in the world.”
One Direction say: “We’re really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally
respect his decision and send him all our love for the future. The past five years have been beyond amazing, we’ve gone through so much together, so we will always be friends. The four of us will now continue. We’re looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour.”
I know that bands have survived losing a member, but I have a feeling that this will be the last tour and album for these guys. They are not teens anymore and I bet they want to move on with their lives as 20somethings. Which you can’t blame them if they did. Plus, they can make like Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block and get together again when they are little older, and restart their careers.
Ryan Murphy shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of Scream Queens of Lea Michele and Jamie Lee Curtis, and I couldn’t get over how different the Glee star looks in it. It could be the puffy jacket, but I think it is because her bangs pinned back. It makes her looks older and not like in the she graduated from high school to go to college sort of way. Do you prefer her bangless or with bangs?
When it comes to the ’70s Scream Queen, she looks fantastic. I hope that Ryan Murphy adds some more real Scream Queens like her to his show.
Chris Pine and Patricia Arquette were guests on The Late Late Show with James Corden yesterday and the CBS late night host asked them to act out a scene from The Young & The Restless. Captain Kirk went all out for it. He put on a wig, unbuttoned his shirt, kissed any face he could and broke everything in his path. By the end of the scene, I felt that his talent is wasted on the big screen. I think he should be doing the small screen in the afternoon instead. He was born to act on soap operas, don’t you agree?
When it comes to Corden, this sketch proves to me that he’s the British version of Jimmy Fallon. Do you see what I see?
Paul Rose and his crew from National Geographic’s Pristine Seas were on the Assumption Island when their silence was suddenly broken by a loud moan. They went to check out what the sound was and they discovered two giant tortoises mating. When the tortoises realized that they were being watched, the woman went to hide and her man chased after the crew. Just like a human male in that situation, he was not going to stop until he confronted the person who interrupted his love making. Only problem is, he can’t move very fast. Which is great for his lover and even better for his human intruders.
So watch the best chase ever to air on National Geographic!
