Zayn Malik Has Left the One Direction Tour

Zayn Malik left the One Direction tour yesterday, and flew back to the U.K.  A rep says he’s dealing with, quote, “stress,” and that he needs to “take a break” to “recuperate.”  It’s unclear how long he’ll be away. This came just one day after he angrily responded to Internet gossip that he’d cheated on his fiancée, Perrie Edwards of the group Little Mix.  Again. Zayn hasn’t commented, and no one else has elaborated on his situation.  One Direction is in Asia, and will go ahead with shows in the Philippines this weekend. Speaking of that, and rumors, there’s talk that the Philippines would force Zayn and Louis Tomlinson to post “bonds” of $5,000, which they would lose if they were caught smoking pot in the country. Apparently, they were singled out because video of them smoking a joint was making the rounds last year.  It’s unclear if Louis actually posted this “bond,” but we’re assuming Zayn didn’t since he’s not even with the band.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Will Star in a “Fraggle Rock” Movie

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to produce and star in a movie based on the HBO puppet series “Fraggle Rock”. The show was created by Jim Henson, the same guy who created “The Muppets” and the puppets from “Sesame Street”.  It ran from 1983 to 1987. Gordon-Levitt says, quote, “Jim Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles.  I’ve never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood.” Get the full story here.
