The One Direction UK boy band has the same name as a pop band in the US, and the US band would allegedly file a case against the UK One Direction band because of this. Simon Cowell though, of X Factor, would file a case against the One Direction US, as well. This is according to entertainment sites, Saturday, June 23, 2012.

One Direction UK has Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne as band members.

Zayn Malik was photographed with Jessica Sanchez earlier during the Pacquiao vs Bradely fight, where Jessica sang the US national anthem. Jessica tweeted her picture with Zayn Malik and the tweet: “I love him so much.”

This had caused enmity from some of Zayn Malik’s fans, and Jessica was verbally attacked at Twitter. One of the band members had to step in to say that Zayn Malik and Jessica just posed for some pictures and there’s nothing more to it.

Zayn Malik, the most popular member of the One Direction band, said in an interview reportedly, that he wants his girl to be “laid-back” and one who has “old-school” values.

Additional reports revealed that One Direction is the first UK band to debut at no. 1 on the US Billboard 200.
