Harry Styles Reacts To Gay Rumors By Creating More Gay Rumors
Harry Styles made headlines last week when he suggested that he might be bisexual. During an interview he told a reporter that gender is “not that important” when evaluating a potential new mate.
The media (including us) took the story and ran, and it’s easy to imagine Harry getting annoyed with the coverage. His bandmate Louis Tomlinson, by comparison, thought he was being called gay and didn’t take it lightly, getting into a bit of a Twitter spat with a reporter.
But if there’s one person who doesn’t appear at all bothered with Harry Styles bi rumors, it’s Harry Styles. In the wake of all this hubbub, he’s thrown more fuel on the fire.
During an interview, he and the only only romantically available One Direction member, Niall, were asked about their love lives by The Sun. They got into a joking bit about how Niall sleeps with a different girl each week, and the reporter suggested the next person should be a male.
Harry then placed his hand on Niall’s knee and told him, “Don’t knock it ’til you try it.”
In a parallel universe somewhere, Harry leaned over and gave Niall a long, passionate kiss on the lips, putting an end to all this bizarre homoerotic sexual tension once and for all.

PHOTOS: These Old Models Breathe New Life Into Some Of Our Favorite Film Classics
We’ve been covering a lot of calendars here lately. There’s the hipster anti-hunks, the oddly sexy orthodox priests, sizzling gingers and of course the naked Warwick rowers. But we may have just found our new favorite.
A retirement community in Germany has released a calendar where seniors recreate famous movie scenes. And it is just as adorable as it sounds.
Here are the months that stood out to us, reminding us simultaneously that we love cinema and our grandmothers:
Cabaret
Martha Bajohr, 77
She got a better review than Emma Stone.
Giant
Joanna Trachenberg, 81, und Horst Krischat, 78
I was like, James Dean, for sure.
The Seven Year Itch
Ingeborg Giolbass, 84, und Erich Endlein, 88
Still has legs for days, and those smiles make us all warm and gooey inside.
Titanic
Erna Rütt, 86, und Alfred Kelbch, 81 
After the shoot they did a little figure drawing.
Mary Poppins
Erna Schenk, 78
She may be 78 but don’t you dare take away the keys to Erna’s umbrella.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Marianne Brunsbach, 86
Holly Golightly has desert after breakfast.
Dirty Dancing
Johann Liedtke, 92 und Marianne Pape, 79
They finally mastered that lift.
