One Direction has finally opened way up about Zayn Malik taking his beautiful voice and leaving the group several weeks ago. How did they feel when they first heard the news? One Direction Responds to Zayn Malik Departure “We were a little bit angry,” Liam Payne told James Corden on The Late Late Show, adding: “We were surprised, but I think we all knew the general vibe that Zayn was feeling. There were certain parts of this job that Zayn loved and certain parts of the job that he didn’t. “If you don’t like your job, you’ve got to follow your heart sometimes and go where you need to go. There’s no argument with that.” There does remain a mystery as to why Malik left, however. He said via statement that he just wants to be a “normal 22-year old” for awhile. But is he really recording a solo album? Was he fired for drug and alcohol use ?!? Louis Tomlinson, meanwhile, engaged in a public Twitter beef with Malik this month, slamming his former colleague as immature. Where do things stand now between the hunks? “I’ve never been very good at biting my tongue,” Tomlinson said. “It’s just one of those things. Twitter’s great for connecting with the fans but also if you feel like saying something you probably shouldn’t, it’s also good for that as well. “Or bad in this case.” He added that the group is in touch now with Malik and is on “good terms” with him. It has already been confirmed that a new One Direction album is on the way, but did the band ever think about splitting for good after Zayn left? “The four of us love every part of it and the shows have been great on the tour,” Niall Horan said. “We’re looking forward to bringing out a new record, going on more tours and stuff and we’re really enjoying it.” View Slideshow: 17 Hottest Boy Band Members of All-Time

Harry Styles and company have been all over American late night TV lately. In addition to performing on SNL this week, One Direction posed with Jimmy Kimmel and a bunch of stuffed animals for the “#CutestSelfieEver.” Prior to that, Jon Stewart pissed off One Direction fans by joking about the group’s involvement with ISIS. The wrath of 1D obsessives is not something to be taken lightly, but now it’s Christmas – a time for setting aside differences, sporting horrendous sweaters, and crooning carols that no one actually likes. In that spirit, pretend to enjoy Jimmy Fallon, One Direction, and The Roots belting out “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with the help of some kids’ instruments: One Direction, Jimmy Fallon: “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” The lads are best known for their vocal abilities, but it’s the instrumentation that shines here, with an arsenal of crappy pre-school toys being used to achieve a solid holiday sound. Of course, this isn’t the first time that ?uestlove and crew have done impressive things with the stuff you’d find laying around a 1st grade music room. Fallon, The Roots and Carly Rae Jepsen teamed up back when she was a thing to record a version of “Call Me Maybe.” Something tells us 1D will have an easier time avoiding the flash-in-the-pan fate that befell Carly. 16 Photos of One Direction That Makes Us Wanna Squeeeeaaal! 1. 1D on the Red Carpet Which is your favorite member of One Direction? Take your time. We know this may be difficult to answer.
