One Direction turn down First lady
Hot British export One Direction have turned down an invitation to the White House.
First Lady Michelle Obama invited the boyband to Monday's annual Easter Egg Roll when she met the gang at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday.
But the five-piece - comprised of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik - have not been able to free up their schedule.
A spokesman for the group, which was formed on the UK version of the X Factor in 2010, told Politico.com they had to decline 'due to prior commitments' and will be in Australia.
It was previously reported how Mrs Obama had asked the group to come to the White House after being bowled over by their performance over the weekend at the Los Angeles event.
Ever the charmer, Harry amused the First Lady by asking how they order pizza from the White House.
Michelle replied that they make their own.
Harry went so far as to call Michelle a 'very attractive older woman.'
Michelle in turn was obviously impressed with the British boys, and her daughters Malia, 13, and Sasha, ten, were every bit as excited as their mother, bouncing away alongside her.
Styles – who has dated 32-year-old Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack, said he had ‘too much respect for Barack’ to comment on the First Ladies’ stunning appearance, while Payne happily rated her an 11 out of 10.
He said: ‘She’s a very classy woman, very elegant.’
Sadly due to commitments in Australia, One Direction were unable to accept Michelle's invitation.
