The Bradford native is known as the group’s leading prankster. He’s also especially close to his family and he has an admitted dark side, telling Seventeen recently: “I am a bit of a bad boy. I have tattoos and I mess around. That’s part of my image.” And a hot one it is! Wish Zayn a happy birthday now and then watch him in action via our One Direction videos section!

It is totally on between One Direction and The Wanted. Over the weekend, Max George (who shot down a certain redheaded trainwreck the night of the most recent Lindsay Lohan arrest ) simply Tweeted: “Psy and me getting messy #geekandproud.” Zayn Malik then responded that “the first step is totally acceptance. #geekoftheweek. You display just how much of a wannabe you are.” And, from there – as one of our favorite Anchorman quotes would say – things escalated quickly… “That’s not very nice, @ZaynMalik. I was just starting to like you and your RnB songs, too,” George wrote, backed up by Tom Parker of The Wanted, who chimed in with: “Zayn Malik had his ‘1 Stripes’ knickers in a twist, bro.” “Mate, if I had a face like yours, my hair would be the last thing I would worry about,” replied Zayn, followed by Louis Tomlinson telling Parker to “pipe down.” From there, it turned especially ugly… STD-style! Malik shot off to The Wanted, addressing members of the group with: “Let’s not even discuss vocal ability, boys. I would love to chat but have to run through rehearsals.” And after George Tweeted for him to “stay off the bud” because “it makes you cranky,” Malik actually fired back: ” Alright chlamydia boy .” “Tell me you’re problems without the 8 security in NYC.. The only problem I have with you is the s–t banter. Grow up son,” Max responded, and the exchange was capped off with Zayn’s: “I’d f–king love to, see you in New York big man ha u clown.” All the fiery Tweets were eventually deleted, but not before they were seen by millions of followers, all of whom are likely now debating: Which band would actually win in a fight, One Direction or The Wanted? And which group do you like better? One Direction The Wanted View Poll »

Contrary to previous rumors/prayers of every 14-year old girl across the country, Justin Bieber and One Direction will not be collaborating on any music in the near future. “We’ve never actually been asked by him,” Liam Payne told E! News, while Louis Tomlinson added he doesn’t even know if the two sides would mesh: “I think we both do quite different things. We make different music. He’s doing his thing, and we’re doing our thing. However, Bieber and a couple One Direction members are cooking up something together: an actual meal of food! Niall Horan and Zayn Malik stopped by Bieber’s house last night, following the MTV Video Music Awards, and shared the experience with a few million Twitter followers. “At my house cooking some noodles with @NiallOfficial,” Bieber Tweeted along with these photos, adding: “Guys night in full effect.” Earlier in the evening, Horan, Malik and their fellow group members took home three VMA trophies and also performed the smash ” One Thing .” All in all, in other words: not a shabby few hours.
