One Direction raking cash
They didn’t even win the XFactor, coming third, and they’ve yet to release a CD but boyband One Direction featuring our very own Irish lad Niall Horan are already raking in the cash. Simon Cowell has signed them up and it appears they received a gesture of £8,000 (€9,321) already with the label investing over £2 Million into the band.
It’s espected the band will get floods of endorsement offers that will further enhance their bank accounts – a number of computer games and fashion houses are said to be interested in using the popular band in their advertising campaigns. They’re currently in L.A., shopping til they shop, and working with some top music producers.

Cardle has been forced to change his phone number after fellow X Factor contestants One Direction accidently let his number slip through Twitter.
The boyband were chatting in a live web chat and proceeded to let fans hear a voicemail message without realising it contained the digits of Matt’s phone number. Matt ended up receiving thousands of missed calls, voicemails and texts.
A source told The Sun: “Matt woke to hundreds of missed calls. He thought something serious had happened.”
However Matt took it all in good jest according to the insider. “He spoke to the lads and had a laugh.” the source added.

We always knew those One Direction boys were cheeky chappies but they may have gone too far this time!
Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are the two members of the band that have proved themselves to be pretty funny but X Factor winner, Matt Cardle probably didn't find their latest antics too amusing.
The troublesome duo gave out Matt's mobile phone number to over 7,000 fans over Twitcam last night!
The boys decided to prank call Matt but it went straight to answerphone and we all know what happens when you reach someone's answerphone. It reads out your number...
Bless them, the boys didn't realise what they'd done for a good few minutes. Check out the video here...

Despite coming third on last year's X Factor, One Direction have remained firm favourites with the teenage fanbase whose parents refused to allow them to vote for the umpteenth time during the boys' time on the hit show.
The following Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan garnered during their time on the show was insane and encouraged their mentor, Simon Cowell to sign them up once the show was over.
And now the fivesome have followed Cher Lloyd across the Atlantic to Los Angeles, to start work on their debut album.
Louis took to Twitter to tell his fans of their trip, writing: “So excited to be in L.A will tweet pictures when I can :) xx”
The group looked excited and in disbelief as they arrived in Los Angeles. Not bad for five teenagers!
The boys haven't got long in LA as they will be back in the UK to perform in the X Factor live tour which kicks off on February 19.
Are you heading to any of the dates?
