Not only does he have his singing sensation from the United Kingdom in One Direction appearing on “the X Factor” USA Thursday night, but he also has them singing one of the British boy band’s greatest hits in what is a really fun lip-sync rendition of Live While We’re Young.”You can check out the video below, and it really shows off everyone from Carly Rose Sonenclar (the youngest artist still in the competition) to Vino Alan (the oldest) rocking out to the lyrics of the song. You probably never thought you would see someone like Alan or country singer Tate Stevens having fun with this song, but the strange thing is that it totally works for him. They not only bring all of the energy that you would expect them to, but they make their own mini-performance into something that is not as ridiculous as it otherwise could be.Looks like Harry Styles and Caroline Flack won't be getting back together anytime soon as according to a new interview with the One Direction stud, the Xtra Factor presenter has “bad breath”. The 'Live While We're Young' star was playing 'Snog, Marry, Avoid' with Cher Lloyd, Tulisa Contostavlos and his former flame Caroline when he revealed her breath isn't the mintiest. He told OK! Magazine: “Snog Cher, marry Tulisa and avoid Caroline! Caroline had really bad breath when we kissed. 'Could Do With a Tic Tac Flack', that’s what I call her! Only joking

Obama wins second term, Fox News projects

President Obama won a second White House term Tuesday night, overcoming concerns about the fragile economic recovery to soundly defeat Republican nominee Mitt Romney. "We've got more work to do," Obama declared, addressing a cheering crowd at his victory rally in Chicago early Wednesday morning. Obama spoke to supporters at his campaign headquarters shortly after Romney called the president to concede. Obama congratulated his opponent on a "hard-fought campaign." After one of the nastiest political battles and most gridlocked terms in modern American history, the president vowed to reach out to the other side in a second term on everything from immigration to the deficit. He asked supporters to keep the "hope" and said that while the "passions" and "controversy" won't wane after Election Day, "progress will come in fits and starts." President Obama will win re-election, Fox News projects. The call comes after the president was the projected winner in the crucial battleground of Ohio, and subsequently won both Iowa and Oregon. This put Obama over the required 270 electoral votes. ORIGINAL STORY ... Mitt Romney claimed his first battleground prize of the night with a projected victory in North Carolina, answering an early string of swing-state victories Tuesday by President Obama. ammy Baldwin captured Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat Tuesday, becoming both the state's first female senator and the first openly gay candidate to be elected to the chamber. The seven-term congresswoman from Madison held off a political comeback by Republican former Gov. Tommy Thompson, handing him his first defeat in a statewide race. A sullen Thompson, surrounded by his family and Gov. Scott Walker, said he wasn't going away, though the loss likely spells the end of a storied career in politics that began in 1966 and included 14 years as governor and a run for president.

Election 2012: No Rest In Final Campaign Hours For Barack Obama, Mitt Romney (VIDEO)

The White House the prize, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney raced through a final full day of campaigning on Monday through Ohio and other battleground states holding the keys to victory in a tight race. Both promised brighter days ahead for a nation still struggling with a sluggish economy and high joblessness. "I've come back to Iowa one more time to ask for your vote," Obama told 20,000 supporters at an outdoor rally in Des Moines, the last of his campaign. "This is where our movement for change began." A single tear ran down Obama's face as he spoke. Whether it was the product of emotion or the bitter cold was hard to tell. In a final rally of his own Monday night, Romney told supporters in New Hampshire – he won the state's first-in-the-nation primary – that he needs their votes again.
