Taylor Swift And Harry Styles' Failed Romance Won't Feature In One Direction Movie

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles' short lived romance might be one of the most high profile moments for the curly haired cutie but don't expect footage of the pair together to make it into One Direction's 3D movie This Is Us as according to director Morgan Spurlock there's no Swift action in the documentary set to hit screens next month.

'Haylor' dated for just 44 days at the end of 2012 and while they looked loved up before Christmas the teen dream romance was over after a bust up on holiday in the Carribean in January, according to Spurlock just before they started filming for the documentary.

Responsing to rumours Harry had asked for "any trace," of the romance to be erased from the final edit of the movie during a recent interview, he told Teen Vogue: "It gets frustrating for them at times, because suddenly stuff gets printed that isn't even true.


"I saw an article that said, 'Harry Styles demands Taylor Swift be taken out of the movie.' But by the time we started filming in January, they had already split up."

One Direction movie 'This Is Us' hits screens next month

It had been reported that the 19 year-old talked candidly about his ex in footage shot for the movie referring to her as a "pain in the a**".

“I haven’t met a girl yet who I’d want to even think of getting serious with,” the heartthrob reportedly said in the movie, according to The Daily Star.

“I think I’ve been unlucky in love so far. But then, I haven’t met anyone who’s made the Earth move for me.”

This Is Us is set to hit screens next month and promises to give a no holds bar look into the life of the biggest boyband on the planet.


Harry has been dating model Kara Rose Marshall, while Swift is said to be enjoying the single life despite being recently linked to close pal Ed Sheeran.

UK chart round-up: One Direction miss No1, but it's Diana Vickers and Professor Green who flop the most

Zayn Malik in Best Song Ever by One Direction

You kind of have to admire One Direction for releasing a single entitled 'Best Song Ever'. Whether it's provoking their fans to agree or their detractors to kick up an enraged fuss, it's certainly bound to get people talking - even if the lyrics do actually refer to another song rather than to itself. But anyway, it's the detractors who get the last laugh, as the track stalls at No2 in this week's list.

There's no shame in a No2 single, obviously - in fact, Professor Green would probably give his right arm for that kind of position (more on him later) - but, well, there's some childish fun to be had in noticing the Best Song Ever hitting the Second Best Chart Position, isn't there? No? Just me? Fine.

Anyhoo, No2 is actually an awesome start for the boys considering the song only had its radio début two days before its release, completely skipping the conventional two-month build-up campaign. Who knows how high they would have scaled if they'd held out for an extra couple of weeks?

Avicii, after scoring the best first-week numbers for any single so far this year last Sunday, enjoys another strong frame with 'Wake Me Up' and, in fact, the race wasn't even close. With another 155,000 sales this week, he outsold Zayn, Liam, Harry, Niall and Louis by two copies to one.

All the big new releases I got excited about last week have indisputably flopped. What's going on?! Diana Vickers is the one I'm perhaps most gutted about - as divisive as her distinctive yelp is, I'm of the belief that she is an almighty force of good in the pop music world, and the appearance of her comeback single 'Cinderella' way down at No76 is disappointing. Given its total lack of radio support, I wasn't expecting a platinum-selling mega-hit; but Top 40 at the very least would have been nice. The track, though not a commercially obvious single (is that a phrase?), is a great little gem, and hopefully her September-due album Music To Make The Boys Cry will fare a little better.

Above D-Vix is Nina Nesbitt - the latest recipient of the VEVO Lift treatment - whose lovely new ditty 'Way In The World' can only crawl as far as No55, despite edging inside the Top 40 in Wednesday's midweek update. And further down - surprisingly - is Professor Green, whose 'comeback' track 'Are You Getting Enough?' can only make it as far as an astonishing No93. NINETY-THREE! Who'd have thought it?! Much as I rate and respect the Prof, this track was perhaps a bit too left-field for the masses, and there'll now be a lot of pressure on his next single to put him back in the same sales league as 'Read All About It'.

Over on the album chart, X Factor runner-up Jahmene Douglas scores a début No1 with his covers album Love Never Fails. Over recent years, the confidence shown by record label bosses in the talent show's silver medalists seems to have waned a tad... since the platinum-selling arrivals of Olly Murs and Rebecca Ferguson we've had a hastily-assembled effort from Marcus Collins and now a collection of only covers by the adorable Douglas. Still, he's got a chart-topper regardless, and good for him. Whether or not he has serious industry staying power remains to be seen.

Selena Gomez scores the second-highest new entry with her first proper solo album Stars Dance, following three releases with band The Scene. The new collection, which was led last week by single 'Come And Get It' (which this week falls 6-10), was actually at No5 on Wednesday's midweek update, but sales clearly declined sharply in the second half of the frame, and it's a sub-Top 10 finish in the end. Still, it's her first appearance in the album Top 20 in the UK, and a great start to her proper post-Disney career. If we're pitting former House Of Mouse cohorts against each-other, it seems that - for the first time in our country - Demi Lovato has won. Her album Demi peaked at No6 (it's No86 now, 10 weeks after release) and single 'Heart Attack' at No3 (currently No30 after 11 weeks), meaning that - for now at least - she can hold the crown. But that's until Miley Cyrus unveils 'We Can't Stop' next month. I don't want to argue with those pre-order numbers.

One Direction 'Shelling Out Millions On Hotel Security To Keep Crazed Fans Away'

One Direction are spending millions on their security, booking out the whole floor of hotels in a bid to keep themselves protected from crazed fans.

According to The Daily Star, the boyband are spending up to £50,000 on empty hotel rooms and have their security team patrolling outside their suites twenty four hours a day to  reduce the risk of fans breaking into their rooms.

One Direction are currently on their Take Me Home tour

A source told the tabloid: "Security around the boys is at an unprecedented level.

"Management are so worried about fans and oddballs breaking into their rooms they are often paying for the whole hotel floor to ensure no other guests can access their level.

"Security guards are positioned at the lift and stair entrances. Others patrol the floors 24/7 and stand guard outside the boys’ rooms."

The Little Things singers are currently on their Take Me Home world tour and have seen their fame sky rocket internationally in the process. Only last month Harry Styles was filmed scaling a railing outside his hotel in New York to escape a sea of fans.

And with their new movie This Is Us set for release in August, things could get whole lot crazier for the band.
The source added: "1D are getting bigger and bigger by the day. As well as the tour dates, there will also be a huge promo schedule for the movie.

"Spending a million pounds to ensure their safety may sound excessive but it’s nothing compared to the money they will earn in the next year due to the tour, movie, album and other franchises."

Harry Styles Goes Crazy On One Direction Tour? Shares Snap Of Himself 'Talking To A Brick Wall' (PHOTO)

Harry Styles regularly takes to Instagram to share his shenanigans with his millions of followers, but it seems like the 1D hunk may be going a little 'tour crazy' as the most recent snap he posted is of himself talking to a brick wall.

The curly haired cutie is currently on tour with the rest of the One Direction boys and they've had a hectic schedule ever since their Take Me Home dates kicked off back in March.


However, Directioners don't fret! The babe isn't going crazy (or at least, we hope not anyway...) It's just Hazza posting yet another one of his 'jokey' snaps no doubt, posting the pic for his millions of followers to feast their eyes on.




Meanwhile, Harry also took to Twitter on Friday to share some Mick Jagger 70th birthday love, posting:



Aw, short but sweet!

It was rumoured this month that Harry is so keen to emulate his idol that he is planning to learn ballet to keep fit on stage and help with his Jagger moves.

“Harry wants a career spanning decades like Mick’s and to have that he recognises that fitness, health and developing his body is the key,” a source told the The Sun.

“He spoke to [personal trainer] Torje about Jagger’s intense routine of kick-boxing, running, weights and, most importantly, ballet. That’s the Achilles’ heel in Harry’s training. He can’t dance and neither can any of the 1D boys — their choreographer recognised early on that they shouldn’t dance on stage.”

What do you think? Does Harry have the moves like Jagger?

Miley Cyrus Ecstatic At New Vevo Record Despite Losing Out To One Direction

Miley Cyrus shared her excitement this weekend after smashing a VEVO record, which comes just days after another record previously held by the star was overtaken by One Direction's latest single 'Best Song Ever'.

The former Hannah Montana star, racked up 100 million views for her controversial video 'We Can't Stop' which was later confirmed  as the fastest time a video has ever reached that amount of views.

The star took to Twitter to boast about her impressive achievement and thank her loyal army of followers.
The 20-year-old wrote: "We got 100 million views?!?!?! Oh my god! We did it! We broke the vevo record! 100 million views in 37 days maaaafakkkkas!!!! Directors cut coming soon! (sic).

Miley has been campaigning in a desperate bid to reach the milestone all week, even promising fans that she would treat them to a new version of the video, if they helped her break the VEVO record.


The mischievous singer raised eyebrows in her sexually suggestive video where she is seen writhing around on a bed bed and 'Twerking'.

Miley Cyrus smashed the VEVO record with 100 million views in 37 days

Miley's achievement comes just days after she lost her crown to British pop band, One Direction, who broke her previous record for the most views in 24 hours.
The music video site had announced last week that Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan - who also appear in drag in the video - had racked up 12.5 million views just a day after its upload.

An official tweet from VEVO read: “The New 24hr Record = 12.3 MILLION. Just….WOW. #Directioners ain’t playin. #BSEVEVORECORD.” The boyband may find it harder to top the UK charts though and it’s been confirmed that as of last Wednesday, they had failed to knock Avicii off the top spot by the time the mid week figures were collated.

The Best Songwriters Ever? One Direction Admit They've Written Most Of Their Forthcoming Album Themselves

One Direction have written most of their forthcoming album themselves – but they admit that turning their backs on established songwriters could backfire on them.

The band have just released new single Best Song Ever – a track written by Wayne Hector, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta and Ed Drewett – but have opted to veer away from tried and trusted composers by acting as main writers on their eagerly anticipated new long player.
However, they admit breaking away from the song writing formula that won them fans all over the world with Up All Night and Take Me Home is risky.

Up all night: The band have been putting in the hours as they write songs for their enw album 

“We wrote three songs on the last album, bit this is different,” band member Louis Tomlinson told The Sun. “Liam (Payne) and I have been spending our days off writing, It will be interesting to hear what people make of it but you'll always get criticised.”

Harry Styles added: “Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's easy to hate One Direction.”

Amongst those working with them on the album are pop veterans McFly, who jetted out to Belfast earlier this year to pen a new track with Niall Horan.

Hard at work: The band are currently on tour, but expect to drop their new album by the end of the year

“It hasn't got a title at the moment but we wrote the song with Niall,” revealed bassist Dougie Poynter. “He's got some good ideas so had a lot of input.”

Snow Patrol's Gary Lighbody has also been working with the band.

“We wrote with Harry,” he said. “It was a lot of fun. He's a real dude actually. We've no idea if those songs will make it yet, though. It's a long prcess. It's great to work with other people – it's good to flex the muscle.”
