One Direction (all five of them, thank goodness) stopped by Ellen on Friday (Nov. 21) to discuss their new album -- and Harry Styles learned that no matter how exhausted they must be from the constant promotion, it still pays to think before you speak. Ellen asked the guys where in the world they're able to go and not be recognized, but they explained to her they go out everywhere. "I think people think of us like crabs," Styles explained. "That we, like, stay in." "Like crabs?" Ellen asked as the other guys chuckled and looked at him incredulously. "Crabs was a bad example. I would say next time you tell the story be something like a bear."

One Direction makes history, again, as the act’s new album Four debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. They are the only group in the 58-year history of the chart to see their first four albums debut at No. 1. (A year ago, they became the first group to enter at No. 1 with their first three studio sets, when Midnight Memories bowed atop the chart.) Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the achievements the British/Irish quintet has made with Four’s chart-topping arrival: - With 387,000 sold in the week ending Nov. 23, according to Nielsen SoundScan, Four earns the second-largest sales debut of the year, and the biggest week overall for a group. Only Taylor Swift’s 1989 was larger, with its 1.287 million start. - One Direction is the only group to see their first four studio albums debut at No. 1. (They were already the only group to arrive atop the list with their first three sets.) - They are the fourth act, overall, to have their first four studio albums debut at No. 1. They follow soloists Britney Spears (between 1999 and 2003), DMX (his first five, 1998-2003) and Beyonce (five, 2003-2013). - Four tallies the biggest week for an album by a group since One Direction’s previous effort, Midnight Memories, started with 546,000 on the Dec. 14, 2013-dated Billboard 200 chart (reflecting the sales week ending Dec. 1). - Four is One Direction’s fourth No. 1 album in a row, in less than three years. They previously topped the list with their debut effort, Up All Night (on the list dated March 31, 2012), Take Me Home (Dec. 1, 2012) and Midnight Memories. - In the history of the Billboard 200 chart, only three groups have reached No. 1 with their first four studio albums: One Direction, The Monkees (between 1966-1967) and The Kingston Trio (with their first five sets, 1958-1960). While all four of One Direction’s albums debuted at No. 1, The Monkees and The Kingston Trio’s releases climbed to No. 1 after entering the chart at a lower rank. (The chart didn’t see its first debut at No. 1 until 1975, when Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt started atop the list.) - In total, just six acts have reached No. 1 with their first four studio releases: Beyonce, DMX, The Kingston Trio, The Monkees, One Direction and Britney Spears.

THEY'RE known for their incredibly loyal fan base. But Zayn Malik's sister admitted that some One Direction fans can go too far. Speaking in a live Q&A, Doniya Malik was asked if she admired Directioners. She answered: “Yes, sometimes you are very sweet - then sometimes you can get the psychotic ones and I don’t like that.” The beauty-blogger added that she hasn't listened to the band's new album yet, despite it being released almost two weeks ago. Speaking of Four, which recently made chart history in the US, she said: “I like it so far. "I if I am honest I have not had chance to listen to all the songs but I will once I get the chance.” It was recently reported that Zayn is said to be fed up with the One Direction lifestyle and wants to spend more time with his fiancée Perrie Edwards. A source said: "Zayn is fed up with the whole fame thing. He loves singing and his fans but he just wants a quiet life now. "He has become increasingly disappointed with with the little amount of time he can spend with Perrie." We thought we were obsessed with Disney's Frozen, but it looks like Perrie Edwards is one of the most devoted fans around! The Little Mix singer showed off two pics of her Olaf sweater, and we can't get over how cute the look is! "Do you want to build a snowman?" Perrie asked in her photo's caption before declaring: "Olaf is my favorite."

Could Emma Watson and Harry Styles be the next big celeb couple? Yes, if the internet has its way. The 24-year-old actress got a little flustered when presented with a British Style Award by the 20-year-old One Direction heartthrob at the British Fashion Awards. Pictures of the pair afterwards only fueled cupid’s virtual arrow further, with #Hemma trending on Twitter. To get the backing from One Direction’s super dedicated fanbase is massive as they tend to be vocal on every aspect of Harry and his bandmate’s Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan’s personal lives. Especially if they don’t like the person they are dating, which clearly in this instance would be so NOT the case. Other comments have included: ‘And then God said let there be Emma Watson and Harry Styles,’ while another added: ‘if elegancy and class had a specific visual image it would be that picture of emma watson and harry styles’.
