John Wright

It’s only April, but we are pretty sure Directioners everywhere will be planning their Christmas lists once they hear this news!

One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson spilled to England’s Daily Star that the boys have already been hard at work on the follow-up to last year’s Take Me Home.

“We’ve already started recording the album, we started about a month ago,” Louis dished. “We’ve been writing and recording it while on tour. We are really happy with it.

 We don’t want to rush it, but it will be out for Christmas.”

Although it’s been reportedly confirmed that the boys are looking to release the new album in time for the holidays, a specific date has not been finalized just yet.

Even with the release date up in the air, we can hardly contain our excitement! NEW One Direction music before the Christmas? That has got to be the BEST NEWS EVER. We can hardly wait!

How Louis Helps Harry Talk To Girls!

With his amazing voice and amazing hair, it’s hard to imagine why Harry Styles would ever feel shy around girls! But according to fellow 1D pal Louis Tomlinson, it’s true.

Since Louis is still happily dating Eleanor Calder, he always seems more than happy to help out his single bandmates (like Harry). “I am Harry’s wingman,” he confirmed. ”I do help the other boys talk to girls they like. There is a lot of that.”

So what’s the guys’ secret to approaching girls? Coming from the biggest boy band in the world, it must work wonders!

Louis spills, “If Harry wanted someone’s phone number I’d be like, ‘Basically, Harry wants your phone number’.” 

Hm… straightforward but (obviously) effective!

Thank you, One Direction, for everything you do for us – but at this moment, we’d especially like to thank you for the oh-so-swoon-worthy pictures you’ve been posting on tour. This pic of Niall has us drooling a little (he sings, he has an adorable accent and he can play guitar? How can one guy have so many crushable traits?!). The pic was captioned, “Niall playing teenage dirtbag.”
