That might be why manager Simon Cowell forbid group member Niall Horan to dare his hair black.

One Direction Summer Tour 2013 Details

It’s not uncommon for an 18-year-old to want to experiment with his look, but Niall is known for being a blonde. He sidestepped what could have been a huge mistake by texting Simon before any dye touched his head. Still, Niall was disappointed when Simon shot back a message saying, “No way.”

What do you think? Take our poll and let us know if you’d be on board with a black-haired Niall.

But when Rob Kardashian came to Dallas to visit, the basketball player immediately perked up and started acting like himself again, laughing and joking around at dinner.

“Lamar and Rob are two peas in a bromance pod,” says Khloè, smiling. Khloè asked Rob if he wanted to stay in town and live with them, like he did back in Los Angeles.

“I don’t want to take a step backwards,” Rob replies. He’s not a recent graduate anymore, so it’s time for him to move on and “hold it down on the other side of the world.”

Lamar Odom Agrees To Part Ways With Dallas Mavericks

Lamar understands, but he and Khloè are bummed that their one connection to home is heading out in a few days. Watch “Khloè & Lamar” on E! this Sunday at 10/9c.

Melissa is left in LA to care for the baby full time. Not only does that leave her exhausted, but the whole point of moving was so that she could focus on her career in Hollywood. Was this a bad choice for the couple?

“I think that Melissa and I are always going to agree to disagree on which part is harder,” says Tye, pointing out that he doesn’t enjoy going back to Dallas to work but that Melissa is lonely and stressed when she’s left alone with the baby. ”I don’t want to make you feel guilty,” she tells him, “but when I’m here by myself, it’s scary.”

Now, with her most recent video for “Starships,” she seems to be inspiring people to throw on some body paint and rock their bikinis.

At least, that’s what Kaley Cuoco seems to be doing in a recently tweeted photo. She’s in Viceroy Anguilla with a friend and the two of them had some fun posing in body paint. They would fit right into the “Starships” video where Nicki wears colorful makeup and tight bikinis, and paint flies through the air.

Selena Gomez Joins The RSF Team! 

Selena posted a photo collage on Thursday night showing the celebs having an absolute blast dancing around the kitchen and talking. Taylor even played a little music. The highlight of the girls night in though, was clearly the batch of pink cupcakes that they’re frosting in the last image. Tasty!

In these two extra clips from her new show “Melissa & Tye,” the former Dallas Cheerleader and “The Bachelor” contestant says goodbye to her family and also leaves behind a very dead wasp in her old home before leaving for Los Angeles.

“There’s a huge wasp in here and I’m Febreezing him,” Melissa nonchalantly tells her husband Tye Strickland in the first video below. He shakes his head and tries to just grab the not-so-little guy, but it stings him! Turns out the Febreeze method worked and the wasp eventually dies. Still, it’s just like Melissa to try and use air freshener to kill a bug — genius.

In another clip from the show, Melissa and Tye prepare to leave their families behind and move to LA. Because they both come from such a tight-knit family, Melissa says that: “knowing that we have their support… it just makes me feel better at the end of the day.”

As we’ve seen in upcoming previews for the show, Melissa and Tye find themselves very much alone in LA with baby Ava, and Melissa especially struggles with being a single mom for most of every week. Will their families continue to offer support?

Watch “Melissa & Tye” on CMT every Friday at 9:30/8:30C.

And when you think of street art, you might imagine colorful messy graffiti.

Tracy Lee Stum and Julian Beever are gonna change that forever, because the street art she creates with chalk is not only mind-blowing, but also world-bending. Tracy currently holds the world record for the largest street painting by a single artist, and it’s no wonder when you see her incredible pieces.

The result? Stunning artistic images of eggs, candles, christmas ornaments and toys being blown apart.

The photos are taken with a special high-speed flash that Alan built years ago specifically for this project. One fascinating image is the children’s teapot he found at a yard sale — the face stays behind even while the rest explodes. This innovative artist also filled a Christmas bulb with Jello, froze a strawberry and placed one object in the mouth of a fake (yes, it’s fake) alligator to create even more visually stunning pictures.

But don’t write the band off as a one-hit wonder just yet, they’ve hit gold again with “Houdini,” and there’s a great video for it that will surely get people buzzing.

Foster The People, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull To Perform At Wango Tango [AUDIO] 

In the video, Mark Foster, Mark Pontius and Cubbie Fink are killed when a beam falls on them during rehearsal. Luckily, a sinister man and his crew of puppeteers and robot engineers slowly get the band rigged up so they can reanimate them for a concert.

By the end of the video, Foster the People looks more like the Backstreet Boys circa 1998, but no one at the concert knows they’re dead! Although it’s not directly addressed, the video may hint that the band doesn’t love the pop groups topping the music charts recently.

What do you think of the video? Do you think the group is lashing out against boy bands?
