Not that we’re following the Harry Styles/Caroline Flack romance, of course. We’re far too busy considering serious matters of intellectual property and competition law to notice what those two are up to. But we did previously note rumours that Flack had left Styles all sad and lonely on New Year’s Eve by going on holiday without him, leading to speculation one of planet pop’s odder tie ups was over.

So we possibly ought to report the ying story to that yang report, ie latest tabloid revelations that now Styles has told his older woman it’s time to cool things down, while he heads to the US as part of his group One Direction’s ambitions to break America.

Since reports it was seventeen year old 1D boy Styles left weeping when his 32 year old supposed girlfriend, ‘Xtra-Factor’ host Flack, headed off on a two week holiday without him, the odd couple were meant to be properly back together, with the pop boy taking the telly woman back to Cheshire to meet his mother.

But now, with One Direction heading off for a two month stint in the US (albeit with a quick return for some BRITs shenanigans), apparently Styles has told Flack he’s not ready for a long distance relationship so they should bring their brief dalliance to an end.

Says one of those sources to the Mirror: “He’s going off to America in a couple of days and he wants to be able to commit fully to making the band a success in the States. They’ll be back for the Brits, but all in all they’ll be away for two months. It’s a long time to be apart especially with so much going on. Harry’s young. He’s just not ready for a long-distance relationship. He really likes Caroline and he doesn’t want to hurt her. But he doesn’t want to be tied down”.

Flack, apparently, is upset, but the split was basically amicable. So that’s lovely. If that could be the end of this relationship for good that would be great, I’m sort of ever regretting bring it up in the CMU Daily – but you know how we like closure on a story once it’s been raised. Which reminds me, whatever happened to Mariah Yeater’s Bieber baby claims – must do some final digging on that one.

Talking of closure on 1D stories, Harry Styles recently responded to those previously reported rumours that a full frontal photo of the pop teen had emerged online, complete with conveniently obscured face. Despite fans identifying various reasons why the naked pic must be the 1D singer, a spokesman for the band quickly denied it was the pop star.

Styles himself reconfirmed that fact recently, though added that if it pleased his fans to believe the well-endowed guy in the photo was him, well, that’s fine. Styles told NOW: “Fair play to the guy whoever he is. I don’t mind people thinking it’s me! But it’s not, that’s official”.

So there you go, consider those matters closed.
