If you needed further proof that One Direction won't be breaking up anytime soon, check out this new deal that just went through.

Not only are the guys set to release three more albums as part of the deal, but they'll also have a One Direction Greatest Hits album coming out.

Look for the three albums to come out between 2014 and 2016--basically ensuring that none of the 1D lads gets a break for the next few years.

Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Niall Horan signed the deal with Simon Cowell's Syco record label, putting even more cash in Uncle Simon's pockets.

So, next up is the release of their new album Midnight Memories in November, followed by two additional albums and their greatest hits collection.

We're tired just thinking about all the work ahead of them (in addition to their big stadium tour coming up).

A source tells The Sun (via Heatworld), "The boys, Simon and their team have already started planning for their fourth album, even though the third isn't out yet."

The insider added, "It's worth a lot of cash too. They'll get a big upfront payment worth millions then much more from record sales, tours, brand tie-ins and merchandise."

Pull your heads in boys': One Direction receive ticking off from police after their entourage 'runs through red lights'

• Alleged incident in Perth takes place after band's entourage ran through a red light in Adelaide under police escort earlier this week
• Band deny claims that their drivers ran through three red lights in Perth
• Police Commissioner Nick Anticich said: 'One Direction they may be, but the only direction in relation to this type of offending would be to the courts.'
  

One Direction’s entourage has got in trouble with Australian police after allegedly running through three red lights while being pursued by fans in a road-chase. 

A spokesman for One Direction has denied the group's convoy ran through red lights in Perth in the early hours of Thursday morning. 

He said that the only time the entourage skipped red lights was in Adelaide earlier this week when they were accompanied by Police.

The band’s fans also reportedly drove through red lights in Perth in their desperate attempts to keep up with the band. 

The incident is believed to have happened as the group were being driven from Perth airport to the band's city hotel at night.

Fan Ben Blakeley, 22, described the race from the airports as 'epic'.

Fans: The band have a huge following in Australia and were reportedly chased as they travelled from Perth airport to their hotel  

   

He told local media: 'It was the whole Princess Di thing. Everyone was speeding and running red lights except us and one other car because my friend's mum was driving. She was, like, having a nervous breakdown.'

Six security guards from the band’s vans allegedly leaned into fans’ vehicles to photograph drivers and number plates with camera phones.

'They were just rude,' said One Direction fan Eve Michele. 'I was shocked by their behaviour.

'That's just not right. They're guests in our country and they think they can treat us like this. I'm put off trying to meet them ever again.'

A spokesman for One Direction denied the five-car convoy of Hyundai had driven through red lights, saying: ‘The only time they have gone through red lights is under a police escort and this was done in Adelaide.’

He confirmed that the band’s drivers had been concerned about safety due to the rapid road pursuit of the band by fans.

He said: ‘They did indeed pull over at a petrol station, where upon they spoke to the fans explaining concerns about their safety and dangerous driving.

‘The convoy stopped so that One Direction’s security team could ask fans to obey road rules after becoming concerned about their dangerous driving which ended in two fans running red lights.

‘The primary focus of the security team is always fan safety,’ he added. 

The boys were given a ticking off from Police Minister Liza Harvey on Thursday, who said: ‘Pull your heads in, boys’ - meaning ‘discontinue what you are doing’.

West Australian Police Commissioner Nick Anticich said of the alleged traffic light violations : 'This would be unacceptable behaviour - rock stars or not.

 'If it breaches the law we will deal with every person in the same way. By virtue of the fact that they are rock stars is no licence to break any laws or be any different from anyone else.

'One Direction they may be, but the only direction in relation to this type of offending would be to the courts.'

Game on: One Direction's Harry Styles and Niall Horan play a spot of golf whilst Down Under for tour

When Harry Styles and co aren't too busy performing or being teen heartthrobs, it seems the One Direction boys fancy playing a spot of golf to relax.

The pop band are currently down under for the Australian and New Zealand leg of their tour, which is set to last for a month.

Just hours before their gruelling schedule kicked into full swing, Harry, 19, and Niall, 20, hit the greens at their hotel.

While the One Direction boys spent most of the weekend in a long-haul flight from Britain to Australia they missed a big online fiasco.

One of the tracks from their forthcoming album Midnight Memories, was leaked on YouTube on Saturday and within a short space of time went Viral.

The new single is called Diana and is off the group's third album which isn't released until November (just in time to be bought for christmas).

A source for the band says it won't be the lead song from the album and said: 'The new single still hasn’t been decided on yet and there are finishing touches to be done.'

It’s not the first time the 1D's material has leaked, as snippets from their previous albums have also made their way online.

While most of the group look forward to spending five-weeks down under, Louis Tomlinson, 21,  seems to have had a bought of home sickness even before he left the country.

The pop hunk tweeted: 'Saying goodbye’s s**t!!'

His emotional state was short lived as the singer now seems excited about the prospect of riding the waves in OZ.

When asked by a fan if he was looking forward to the tour, he responded: 'I am yeah and to surf.'

A One Direction song called Diana, said to be from the band’s third album Midnight Memories, has been leaked.

It seems Directioners just can’t wait until something is officially released before unveiling it to the world ahead of time.

Diana has found its way online and fans are already in love with it.

The track is said to be dedicated to the group’s fans all over the world as a way of letting them know that they appreciate them.

Despite the mushy subject matter, it is an upbeat, positive pop song with a summery feel, and is a bit different to the generic style of music they have been putting out up to this point.

The lyrics include: ‘Diana/Let me the one to/Light a fire inside your life/You can own me/You don’t even know me/But I can feel you crying’.

Diana will be welcome news to the fivesome’s global fanbase who have so far failed to attract the lads’ attention.

Midnight Memories, the follow up to last year’s Take Me Home, is released on November 9 and is available to pre-order now.

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson Buys Custom-Made Scooby Doo Mystery Machine Van

Ruh-roh! It looks like Louis Tomlinson's got a groovy new ride!

The One Direction singer has bought himself a custom-made Scooby Doo Mystery Machine van, a rep for the band confirms to E! News. The colorful car has been parked outside the 21-year-old boy bander's house in Hertfordshire, England.

In pics of Tomlin's abode, the green, blue and orange van can be seen in his driveway next to his other black vehicle.

Tomlin recently picked up the van with bandmate Zayn Malik after having it commissioned several months ago.

The ride is tricked out with all sorts of details, including lights, lasers, iPod accessories, giant interior TV, gaming systems, microwave, surround sound stereo system and cameras all over the outside of the car.

"This is so sick," Tomlinson said of the van in a video posted online. "It's amazing." Malik added, "I can't wait for the boys to see it."

No new Styles for One Direction star Harry as he shrugs off modelling rumours

ONE DIRECTION fans can sleep easy after Harry Styles confirmed there’s no chance he’ll be quitting the chart-topping boyband for the catwalk.

Despite being pictured out and about with some of the world’s most beautiful women, including the likes of Sienna Miller, Paloma Faith and rumoured new love interest Cara Delevingne, at London Fashion week, the 19-year-old singer insists he has no desire to go into modelling in a full-time capacity.

“I don’t know if I can walk in a straight line that well, I might fumble around, so maybe not. Maybe I’ll zig-zag, or switch it up a little bit,” says Harry which will no doubt please One Direction’s legion of teenage fans.

In a move which will further enhance his credentials among his many admirers he once again shrugged off talk that he and Cara, 21, were an item by saying: “People talk about anything really but we’re just friends… She is a lovely girl.”

And Cara’s not the only one of the Delevingne clan that Harry’s got friendly with lately. He seems to have firmly cemented his place in the fashion pack after being pictured in the front row of the Fashion East show alongside Cara’s older socialite sister Poppy, 27, as well as his pal Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw.

The heart-throb’s popularity with female fans and string of relationships with glamorous women has seen him dubbed “the Mick Jagger of his generation”.

Last December he was photographed hand-in-hand in the Lake District with US singer Taylor Swift and also enjoyed a brief but controversial fling with TV presenter Caroline Flack who, at 33, is 14 years his senior.

A "psycho" One Direction fan allegedly killed her pet dog after the stars of the British pop group didn't follow her on Twitter.

The obsessed admirer allegedly broke her beloved Chihuahua's neck after a desperate message to four of the band's five singers went ignored.

She initially tweeted the boys from her @illumivato account on Aug. 29, according to widespread reports in South American and Spanish media.

"Follow me or I'll break my dog's neck," she wrote in a post accompanied by a snap of a pooch being pinned down on the floor.

Unsurprisingly, her message was not picked up by the "Live While We're Young" warblers, who receive millions of tweets every day.

Fed up with the lack of a response, she again took to the microblogging site several days later.

Writing specifically to Liam Payne, she reportedly wrote: "I love you. Follow me. My dog has just died."

One Direction (from left: Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson) receive millions of tweets each day and didn't reply to the threat.

She included a picture she said showed her in tears as she cradled a little dog that appeared to be dead.

Fans of the band, dubbed "Directioners," were outraged by her alleged antics and swiftly condemned her.

Labeling her a "psycho," they urged Twitter to ban her account. One was so angry she set up a Change.org petition to get her removed.

Mya Fhya, who has so far attracted more than 2,500 signatures to her cause, said the girl had also posted other distressing images.

"She has pictures of animals in blenders, a dog with guns up to its head, a picture of her strangling (what looks to be her mom) [...] basically implying that if she does not get more followers she will kill all of these beings," Fhya wrote.

The @illumivato account has since been suspended.

Some have said that the story is a hoax  or that the pictures she used were not of her own dog and that she was simply trying to grab the singers' attention.

The girl's real name and location have not been revealed. One Direction has not yet commented on the incident.
