A group called The 6th Alliance started a GoFundMe page to buy One Direction for $500 million. Their initial goal was $35 million.
The 6th Alliance is made of six mega One Direction fans around the world. Their goal is to free the band from its current management and bring Zayn Malik back.
A sad day for One Direction fans. Zayn has left the band.
Here is the official statement:
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.”
Simon Cowell says: “I would like to say thank you to Zayn for everything he has done for One Direction. Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown very, very fond – and immensely proud – of him. I have seen him grow in confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave. As for One Direction, fans can rest assured that Niall, Liam, Harry and Louis are hugely excited about the future of the band.”
Two years after Angelina Jolie revealed she’d undergone a preventative double mastectomy, the actress had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed.
In an essay written for the New York Times, the 39-year-old actress reveals that while she’d been planning the surgery for some time, preparing herself “physically and emotionally” for the early menopause that would follow, but believed she had months to schedule the procedure. Then doctors noticed an increase in inflammatory markers in a blood test.
Husband Brad Pitt flew in (from France) immediately.
Angelina writes:
“I called my husband in France, who was on a plane within hours. The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarizing, and it is peaceful.
“That same day I went to see the surgeon, who had treated my mother. I last saw her the day my mother passed away, and she teared up when she saw me: “You look just like her.” I broke down. But we smiled at each other and agreed we were there to deal with any problem, so “let’s get on with it.”
When Angelina chose to undergo a pre-emptive double mastectomy in 2013, she noted it was because a “blood test had revealed that I carried a mutation in the BRCA1 gene” that gave her “an estimated 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer.”
She continues, “I did not do this solely because I carry the BRCA1 gene mutation, and I want other women to hear this. A positive BRCA test does not mean a leap to surgery.”
“In my case, the Eastern and Western doctors I met agreed that surgery to remove my tubes and ovaries was the best option, because on top of the BRCA gene, three women in my family have died from cancer.”
Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died at age 56 after a nearly decade-long battle with ovarian cancer.
The actress says she chose to keep her uterus as she has no family history with cancer there.
Just two months after Katy Perry and John Mayer rekindled their romance, RadarOnline.com reported that the two have called it quits again.
According to multiple sources, the short reconciliation was more about convenience than anything else.
One source said: “Katy and John reconnected once she had a break in her Prismatic World Tour. So, for those few months they had a great time, pretending that it would last — and of course it didn’t.”
According to the insider, “the relationship can’t handle the pressures of their careers. Katy gets busy, John can’t handle the lack on attention, and she can’t handle the trust issues she has when she’s so far away.”
Gwyneth Paltrow is livid that friend Kate Hudson is making a play for ex Chris Martin, Radar Online is reporting.
Hudson and Martin went out to dinner after they hung out at the beach all day in Malibu earlier this month.
Sources say Paltrow was “livid” about the date pointing out that Hudson is supposed to be her friend.
And the sources say the Coldplay frontman’s on-off girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence isn’t too thrilled either, but she isn’t giving up on him and won’t go down without a fight.
