Watch One Direction"s Louis Tomlinson Ponder Group"s Future

(VIDEO) Louis Tomlinson Fight At LAX Airport With Paparazzi! - March 2017

With 2016 single "Just Hold On," Louis Tomlinson established himself as the third member of boy band One Direction to launch a solo career. Even as the remaining four members move on and tease projects that may arrive in the coming months, the group still maintains that they are on hiatus and not officially broken up.

"No one knows the answer right now," Tomlinson tells Rolling Stone of how much longer the break will last. "Everyone"s just enjoying a schedule that"s not as relentless and exploring solo projects."

While tabloids have long reported on tension between 1D"s members, which was formed after the original five members delivered solo auditions for the x-factor, tomlinson says that they are still all friendly and close. Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and even former member Zayn Malik showed up to watch Tomlinson make his stage debut as a solo artist at The X-Factor in December, a performance that also happened to follow news of his mother"s death.

"I think that"s what it"s all about," he adds. "People love to write what they want to write but there"s no bitterness."

As for what"s to come now that his collaboration with Steve Aoki is out in the world, Tomlinson has not made any plans to release more solo music. His move to dance-pop was surprising for many given his penchant for folkier, rock-leaning tunes as one of the main songwriters for his boy band. "I wanted to do something that was different enough to One Direction, but not too far away that it"s going to alienate the One Direction fans," he explains.

Malik was the first member of One Direction to release solo music, having left the band in early 2015 following creative disputes and anxiety issues. He released his debut album Mind of Mine last year. Horan followed suit last fall with his folk-y, acoustic "This Town." Styles will appear in the Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk this summer, while Payne has not yet revealed his future plans, though he did announce a solo contract with Columbia.

There reportedly is mutual interest between Brandon Marshall and the Patriots

ESPN First Take - Jets Plan to Release WR Brandon Marshall

Brandon Marshall is no longer with the New York Jets, but he might get to play against them twice next season. According to a report from the Boston Globe, there is mutual interest between Marshall and the New England Patriots.

Marshall was released by the Jets earlier this week as part of an ongoing roster purge of older veterans. Nick Mangold and Darrelle Revis each saw their time in New York come to an end, and five more vets -- including Eric Decker and Sheldon Richardson -- could be next.

marshall stated last season that he was intrigued by the idea of playing for the Pats, given that he has never been to the playoffs in his 11-year NFL career. However, he also said thatTom Bradyisnt the best player ever and that people talk about Bill Belichick too much. So who knows how seriously we can take his interest in playing there?

If he does sign with New England, he wouldnt be nearly the first high-profile wideout to spent a late-career season playing with Belichick and Brady. The Patriots have been known to bring in ring-seeking veterans they can grab on one-year deals (Chad Johnson and Reggie Wayne), and if they can get Marshall at an agreeable price, hed make a heck of a weapon for Brady and provide a different look in the passing game.

New "Logan" Trailer With Hugh Jackman Drops During Super Bowl

LOGAN "Laura"s Origin" Clip + Trailer (2017)

The latest movie in the X-Men universe has gotten a new trailer. NewLogan footage dropped during Sunday nights Super Bowl, featuringold pals Logan (Hugh Jackman) and Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) working to help young mutant Laura (Dafne Keen).

In his last performance as Wolverine, Jackman plays a weakened version of the unbeatable and unbreakable anti-hero. Since his healing powers have lessened, Logan has been earning a living as a chauffeur, hiding out in a border town while caring for the ailing Professor X. Their small world is shattered by the arrival of young Laura, whose powers are similar to Logans and have attracted quite the violent following. Logan, always reluctant to help others, appears to eventually come around and become protective of Laura, one of the few remaining mutants in the country.

The action-packed trailer set to Amazing Grace showsLogan and Laura demonstrating their ferocious fighting skills.

After X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009 and The Wolverine in 2013, Logan is the last standalone Wolverine film and the last performance of the character by Jackman, who has depicted the animalistic loner-turned-hero eight other times since 2000s X-Men.

Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant,Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez also star. James Mangold (also directed The Wolverine) directs the story by David James Kelly and himself. Hutch Parker, Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner (whose worked on the series since its inception) produce.

Logan hits theaters on March 3, 2017.

Check out the trailer here or above.

"Logan" review: Hugh Jackman"s Wolverine gets a gritty send-off

Logan Movie REVIEW!

The R-rated superhero movie has arrived, just as they said it would after Marvels Deadpool became a $780-million hit. That movie was a comedy, but the latest example of the genre, james mangolds logan, is anything but. logan presents everyones favorite X-Man, The Wolverine, in such a serious and grown-up light that the film takes a little getting used to.

Logan finds its titular hero, he of the mutton-chop sideburns and knuckle-based knives, in the twilight of his years. The sight of his graying hair and sagging skin is a shock, as is the opening-credits beating he takes from a bunch of second-rate car thieves. Were told the X-Men in general are over: No new ones are being born, and even the once-proud Professor Charles Xavier (an excellent Patrick Stewart) is now a sick man babbling away in a grimy bunker. All they want is enough cash to buy a boat and die anonymously at sea.

Where are the snappy one-liners, the midair fistfights, the sexy costumes? Not here. Mangold (Cop Land, the 2007 remake 3:10 to Yuma) approaches Logan like a Western specifically, the kind whose hero is an aging gunslinger. When Logan stumbles upon an orphaned little girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) who seems to be the first superhero in a generation (hey, she has knuckle-blades, too? Hmmm), hes moved to help her only by the promise of money. Classic Westerns like True Grit and Unforgiven come to mind, while Shane becomes little Lauras favorite film.

Its fascinating to see a Marvel movie strike such a rugged, gritty, hard-nosed tone, but Logan cant keep it up consistently. Its main villain, Pierce (Boyd Holbrook), is a comic-book sleazeball with sunglasses and a metal hand; the action scenes look noticeably computer-aided, with blurry red splatter; and theres a plot detour involving a friendly African-American family that strikes all the wrong notes. Hugh Jackman is quite good in this Eastwood-ized version of Logan the surly old lion but the script, co-written by Mangold, forces him into a final moment of gooey sentiment that mars the whole movie.

That said, Logan provides a fitting finale to the Wolverine franchise. It isnt often a Marvel superhero gets to saddle up, tip his hat and ride off into the proverbial sunset.
