Tarnishing of the teenage idols even mums and dads approved of: They were Cowell’s squeaky clean supergroup. But is a shock pregnancy the final nail in One Direction’s coffin?
The list of boy-band casualties is a long one — and the members of One Direction have been through more than most. Living in the crucible of intense fame, on the relentless treadmill of record-release-promote-tour, the British band’s young stars contend with a schedule that includes making films, releasing everything from perfumes to duvet covers, and being scrutinised on social media day and night.

And now it seems — after selling more than 50 million records worldwide and earning £27 million each — that the reckoning is coming. For all five original One Direction members appear to be engaged in a very modern decline and fall.

Since the band was put together on The X Factor in 2010, there have been scandals involving drugs, tattoos, women and online spats. Now we learn one of the group, Louis Tomlinson, has — via a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fling — inadvertently impregnated a 23-year-old stylist called Briana Jungwirth.

Zayn drain
Cowell ditches Malik from Syco label
IN March this year ZAYN MALIK ditched his ONE DIRECTION bandmates.

Now SIMON COWELL is returning the favour — by dropping the heart-throb from his Syco label just as Zayn’s solo career kicks off.

The move is a huge surprise because the X Factor mogul had first dibs to sign Zayn and release his first album without his bandmates, below.

But I’m told Cowell made the decision out of loyalty to the remaining members of 1D – dad-to-be LOUIS TOMLINSON, HARRY STYLES, LIAM PAYNE and NIALL HORAN.

My music source revealed: “It’s a big move for Simon because Zayn could have a very successful solo career but his priority absolutely remains the band and this is a big statement on his part.”

Leona Lewis on depression, raunchy outfits and ditching Simon Cowell
After a difficult year in which she wrote an open letter to fans about feeling depressed, the X Factor winner and ‘diva next door’ is starting over
The last time we heard from Leona Lewis, X Factor winner turned global superstar, she was in extremis. Coming to terms with a painful break-up last September, she wrote a letter to the world across two pages of a notebook and posted pictures of it on Twitter. It may have lacked the polish of her song lyrics, but it was heartfelt – alarmingly so.

“It has been quite the rollercoaster year. The emotions I’ve felt have been more powerful, in both a positive and negative way, than any time I’ve ever felt in my life,” she wrote. “At some points I felt extremely depressed and other times experienced amazing highs, but it got to a place where the downs were outweighing the ups. So I’m writing this letter for anyone who has ever felt the same way.”

It was a thoroughly modern medium for discussing a terribly 21st-century trauma. The split in question was from not a lover but a far more significant other, namely Simon Cowell – Mephistophelean music impresario, kingmaker and chart-breaker.

9 months of hell as I watched mum die
EXCLUSIVE: Simon Cowell on his grief for mum — and the future of 1D
SIMON Cowell broke down in tears as he revealed his secret nine-month hell watching his mum die.

Speaking for the first time since the death of Julie two weeks ago, the music mogul and TV’s Mr Nasty paid tribute to the woman who he was always closest to.

At times openly crying while backstage at Wembley Arena before filming the latest round of X Factor auditions, he told The Sun on Sunday: “She’d been ill for a very long time. It really happened last year and it was a tough, tough period.

“But I didn’t want to burden anyone else with my problem. That’s why I never talked about it.

“In a way, that was the hardest part because it was always on your mind. But look, I experienced it with my dad and the only thing I can say is that I have incredible memories.”

Julie died just a day before Simon was due to start recording the new series of The X Factor but he missed just two days of work, including the day of her funeral.

It was Julie herself who had insisted Simon return to the ITV talent show, her favourite of all the series her son had worked on.

He recalled: “It sounds corny but it’s exactly what she would have wanted me to do as she loved what I did. When it came to work, she would say, ‘Get back and do what you enjoy’.”

He thinks being back at work “was a good distraction”, adding: “Unfortunately at the end of the day we all have to go through stuff like this.
