Well apparently it started out as a PR stunt to raise both their profiles but they really like each other....again apparently!!

She looks quite nice but then I really know nothing about the kardashians apart from catching one programme accidently and being fascinated by how spoilt and needy they all sounded. I just hope she is different and Harry doesn't end up as PR fodder

ETA wasn't Haylor around about the release of TMH? If I was the cyncical type I would say...........
The timing certainly is suspicious, but who knows?

I suppose Abz is right: let's rejoice about the column inches. Hopefully it will help the album in the US!

I actually quite like Kendall. She's definitely one of the nicer ones in the bunch. Embarrassingly I do watch their programme. They just make me laugh because they're so odd and their lives are very unique I suppose.

But if it isn't a PR stunt (doubtful considering the timing) she does come across nicer than the elder siblings.

I must be too cynical too. It all stinks of being a publicity stunt - same as last year. How convenient that they came out of the front door where they knew all those Paps would be waiting.

Am I naive to think 1D doesn't need this type of stunt to sell music? I guess I am...

I suppose that's how things work in the industry. And it takes less time and is less expensive than organizing a promo tour (radios & talk shows).
But while Taylor Swift really helped raise Harry's and 1D's profile in the US, I don't think this one will be quite as beneficial (she is a Kardashian!!! Even if she is a nice one & I try to not be prejudiced, I cringe at that name!).

This. You phrased it much better than me How much do you reckon they'll manage this week? 140k?
I think 140k is too high, but I'd love to be proven wrong I'd go for 125-130k.

The tumblr girls are really creative and inventive.

Apparently 7th Dec 2011 was Haroline
7th Dec 2012 was Haylor
and now 7th Dec 2013 is Hendall

*I can't hendall this I need an inHaylor or some Haroline*

And all applying for Dec 2014 to be Harry's PR girl

It really does take the biscuit when you see it like this Management must think we are all daft!

Oh man, these girls are mad... First of all, Hendall (what a silly combination...) were first out 2 weeks ago, weren't they?! And that famous PR-walk (if that was the case...) from Harry and Taylor in the Central Park certainly was BEFORE their MSG performance on 3 December 2012 (Here's the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...c-day-out.html --> 2 December!!).
And those Caroline rumours were certainly going on during the whole X Factor series 2011 (that famous awkward interview where Louis keeps teasing Harry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNSYX1xN7Mo --> November 2011)

--> Took me about 5 minutes to get to the bottom of that rubbish. Don't know what these girls think, are we so stupid?

I just don't understand why they have to do it in the first place. most fans know it is a publicity stunt. it gets column inches in the Gossip mags and on E news but at the expense of talking about the actual music and sales achievements of all the boys. It all seems cheap and desperate and this emphasis on trying to make Harry the Playboy of the World is just plain laughable.

She's actually a Jenner rather than a Kardashian. She has a different father than Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob but the same mum.

Do we even have a link to watch SNL "live"?
Because I'm reading about people staying up or waking up early... Considering the time difference, it's really not convenient.

I have just had a great day and hope everyone is feeling as wonderful as I am . I am wondering if I should go check out the news on twitter, some annoying über-demanding fan could always get me off my cloud of peace and happiness...
I am gonna watch it on YouTube tomorrow.

Some of the conspiracy theories say Harry is gay so he needs to be photographed with girls. I don't think I believe that.

I really don't know what to think. I didn't think for one minute he was gay until all these PR relationships surfaced. Think back to other boy band members who were gay and all the womaniser tag. The guy from Blue and also Westlife. I hope he isn't gay only because if he is it makes me so sad that he has to hide it. That's not the way it should be in 2013

I don't believe that either, but it's a semi-popular theory (Twingle heard it too!)
Not impossible of course.



I just wish they would use another boy, but those attempts didn't work as well:
Niall & Demi or Liam & Leona weren't as effective as any Harry relationship (I think...).
People must simply be more interested in his private life somehow...

Actually better idea: ditch the PR stunts!

There was that female DJ who said that Harry was amazing in bed and that she couldn't resist him and who's husband blamed him for ruining their marriage so I think it's unlikely he's gay. You're right though. If he was he shouldn't have to hide it. I think though in America it would be a no no. They are not very accepting of openly gay singers or musicians like we are.

Well, if he is, he didn't know it in 2010. I am sure you can discover things about yourself after the age of 16, but he was very interested in girls at the time IMO, and not that well media trained yet.

You are selling yourself short!

Who cares about the truth in a world with bad PR stunts like Hendell?

I agree. I get fed up with people who say there is no such thing as Bi and that anyone who is bi is a repressed homosexual. Surprisingly, I think more Gays then straight people tend to have that point of view but I have heard straight people say the same thing.

I love *irony* how people have such strong opinions about things they don't know anything about.
It's not as if you really understand it unless you feel that way...
