It's been one craaaaAAAAaaaazy week for Directioners.

One Direction had their big announcement yesterday where they announced their Where We Are stadium tour in 2014 - and to sweeten the deal, they went SHIRTLESS.

Yes, after their press conference, the boys walked out onto the massive Wembley Stadium soccer field where they took off their shirts and changed into several jersies representing all the countries they will be touring next year. OH, and not only that, but they played soccer too like the little hotties that they are.

Go get your bibs ready because you're about to droooooool when you see this footage AFTER THE JUMP!!

Happy belated birthday David Beckham!!!

The hawt footballer turned 38 yesterday, and because he keeps looking waaaaay better with every year that passes, we're celebrating his VERY special day!

Beckham has a lot to show for himself for almost being on this earth for four decades.

Not only is he married to Victoria Beckham, but he also has an AH-MAYZING family and a great career, AND he also knows how to jiggle his balls for H&M whenever they tell him to. LOLz

David definitely has it made, and he should really be happy about his accomplishments because we definitely are!!

These poor Royals just CAN'T seem to avoid stomach problems, can they?

Months after a pregnant Kate Middleton was hospitalized for severe morning sickness, her grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, has been forced to cancel a trip to Rome because she's been admitted to King Edward VII Hospital to treat what's possibly gastroenteritis - AKA a stomach bug!

James Roscoe, a press officer for Buckingham Palace, confirmed today:

Tom Daley and Team GB made a funny lip synch video back when the Olympics were going on.

It featured the dive team men and women dancing around in bikinis to LMFAO's Sexy And I Know It.

It was pretty hot. Like pretty way friggin hawt!

Tom must've known we were going into hot body withdrawal so he posted a pic (above) on Instagram and wrote:

"The "gangsta" diving crew ;) the people in the "Sexy and I know it" video"

He should tweet more pics like that.

With way more guys and way less clothes.

What do U guys think?? Agreed? Agreed!

Lookin' good there Tom, keep up that fitness, you little hunk you.

Starbucks tried to start a holiday twitter campaign that would send around a little holiday cheer… but it backfired pretty badly.

They asked people to tweet out holiday happiness with the hashtag #SpreadTheCheer but all people did was use the hashtag to criticize Starbucks' low tax rates and bad labor policies in the UK.

The highly critical and often profanity laced tweets were even displayed on a giant screen at London's Natural History museum, where Starbucks sponsors their ice rink!

Starbucks said:

Sir Ian McKellen went to a special meet-and-greet event for the charity Step Forward.

Step Forward is an organization that provides free and confidential services to young people, 11 to 25, living in and near Tower Hamlets in East London.

McKellen is a patron of the charity, so he gladly spent an evening meeting the Step Forward team.

Step Forward wrote in their blog:

Tom Daley, British bronze medal winning Olympic diver, is moving into TV!

Is he going to play a sexy new intern on Mad Men? Or a corpse on CSI??

Nope! Those are both terrible guesses!

He's gonna host a diving reality show! Like a DWTS style celebrity TV contest!
