Can US, UK 'survive' the Zayn Malik crisis?




Coping with Zayn Malik leaving One Direction is Hollywood Gossip hard. Some turn to their friends and family for support, others go to President Obama. Find out how different members and branches of the UK and US governments are dealing with the Zayn Malik `tragedy'.

"Who the heck is Zayn Malik?" is what we're assuming President Obama wondered when he logged on to his Twitter account on Wednesday, to face a barrage of hysterical demands from teenage girls about One Direction going in two directions as Zayn announced his departure from the band. As millions of Directioners went into a mass panic attack and got #AlwaysInOurHeartsZaynMalik trending on Twitter, they turned to the US president for help.

Some wanted Obama to talk sense into Malik, saying, "@BarackObama Make Zayn stay in 1D and for them to at least have a huge break thanks (sic)," while others were concerned with the nation's welfare, tweeting, "@BarackObama please address the nation on how to proceed past this time of tragedy and honor Zayn Malik." Some took international relations into account with comments like, "@BarackObama fix the zayn situation offer england all of whatever we can spare (sic)," and yet others took to flat out bribery , saying, "@BarackObama if you bring zayn back we will make you emperor (sic)." At least the candidates of the next US presidential election know what their campaigns needs to be about.

Obama isn't the only one, however, who's got this boy band crisis on his mind. Marty Walsh, mayor of Boston, US, was posed with the question, "Why have you not yet released an official statement on the Zayn Malik situation?" during a Twitter question-and-answer session. "We are all devastated about Zayn Malik. But we must soldier on," Walsh replied.

Even former presidential candidate Mitt Romney appeared on the Jimmy Fallon Show to address the grave situation, saying, "I should talk about the important issues facing our great nation. We've got turmoil in the Middle East, an immigration crisis here at home and now, Zayn quit One Direction!" Zayn's motherland, however, rather than giving into the global heartbreak, kept calm, carried on and wondered how to tackle the issue of yet another unemployed young man. UK's Department for Work and Pensions came to the rescue by offering its services with the tweet, "Hi @zaynmalik, heard your news. Around 7,35,000 vacancies available at any time."

For an actor there's this still slight distance where you're observing the event, thinking, 'This is what it looks and feels like to be breaking up with someone.'

"I think that journalists have that same ability to step back and see things from a different perspective. That doesn't necessarily make the journalist an a**ehole, any more than it does the actor."

Beckinsale stars in the film, directed by Michael Winterbottom, with Daniel Bruhl, Cara Delevingne and Genevieve Gaunt.
