Louis’ mum on 1D being “heart-throbs”

Johanna Tomlinson, mother of the lovely Louis Tomlinson has spoken of her excitement about seeing the One Direction boys performing in Louis’ ‘home terrority’ of Sheffield tonight and well, she really does sound lovely.

She explained to The Star that Sheffield is going to be a pretty special one for Louis, not only because his mum and sisters are going to be there, but also his friends from Hall Cross Sixth Form! So keep your eyes peeled if you’re there this evening, who knows who you’ll be bumping into.

Speaking about One Direction, she said, “The boys have a good fan base,” Johanna, that is an understatment and a half and you know it.

She also spoke to The Star about the fans that regularly bombard her front garden; “If they think he’s coming home, they arrive at the house. We regularly have up to a hundred in the front garden. I realised I couldn’t start making cups of tea for them all, but Louis’ sisters love going out to chat to them.”

Johanna also explained how One Direction’s fans have accessorised their belongings with Louis’ face;

“They are really lovely girls. They send me pictures of their school bags with my son’s face and name all over them.” Dedication to the max.

As if we didn’t love him enough already, Johanna also told The Star, “He’s very caring and protective of me and his sisters. He sends money for their school trips and posts them Topshop vouchers.”

If only we had a brother like that.

“It’s all pretty incredible, particularly the heart-throb status,” she continued. Bless!

However, according to Johanna, Louis’ little sisters Lottie, 13, Felicite, 11 and twins Phoebe and Daisy, 7, are having a hard time understanding what all the fuss is about; “…they think it’s hilarious that anyone would fancy their big brother.” It’s as clear as day to us, but never mind girls, maybe one day you’ll realise why. {source}

Niall Horan To Visit Disney Star Debby Ryan?

One Direction’s Niall Horan has a new best friend/possible crush — Disney star Debby Ryan!

You’ll known Debby from her role as Bailey Pickett on The Suite Life on Deck, and she’s now starring in the new Disney show Jessie.

And according to OMG!, Niall will be visiting Debby on the set of Jessie.

The pair have reportedly become “close Twitter friends” and according to source “Niall’s a big fan of her”.

He’ll reportedly be visiting her on set in LA next time he’s in America.

We can’t find any evidence of the pair tweeting each other recently — and Debby isn’t even following Niall on Twitter! But Niall is following her, so maybe there’s some truth to these rumours?

While Niall might like Debby, it seems that Debby has her eyes on someone else — Ed Sheeran!

According to OMG! Debby is a fan of Ed’s music and “likes a red head who knows how to handle an acoustic guitar.”

Ed or Niall — who would you choose? {source}
