So, it's true? After weeks of rumors surrounding a potential romance, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles stepped out to Central Park Zoo Sunday in New York. The 22-year-old country singer and 18-year-old One Direction boy-bander showed no signs of Pda, but did take in sights with a pair of the Brit's friends.

Swift and Styles were first linked to each other in mid-November, when Mario Lopez gossiped about the pair's backstage chemistry. The "X Factor" host revealed that Styles had visited Swift after a special guest performance on the singing competition show, and that the pair had "walked off, hand in hand."

If the pair are in fact dating, the romance is one carved out of pop music heaven. "They would be the next Justin and Britney," British journalist James Desborough, author of "One Direction... What Makes Them Beautiful," speculated to The Huffington Post last week. "We haven’t had...

What we've got here is a royal mess. Former News of the World reporter James Desborough had the misfortune of becoming the doubly unlucky 13th so-called journalist to get pulled into the ever-deepening phone-hacking scandal of the fallen tabloid. Particularly troubling is that he was also one of the reporters who recently trailed Prince William and Kate Middleton on their North American tour this summer. So who'd he allegedly hack? And what was the scoop that was juicy enough to warrant spending some time (possibly, a very, very long time) in lockup?

James Desborough, the Los Angeles-based U.S. editor of the News of the World, was arrested Thursday by police investigating the phone-hacking scandal at the paper -- becoming the first U.S.-based journalist arrested in the case. After arriving for questioning at a south London police station, he was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications. His arrest was the 13th in the case. Also read: News Corp. Sued by Its Former Private Investigator The charges do not allege any hacking in the U.S. But the arrest raises questions about whether Desborough's alleged involvement...

Police arrested James Desborough for phone hacking that took place before April 2009, when he moved to Hollywood to become News Of The World's U.S. editor, The Guardian and other British papers say. Still, the 13th arrest in Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting investigation could open an important new front in the scandal: U.S. officials would have to become far more deeply involved if Desborough revealed that Rupert Murdoch's defunct tabloid hacked voicemail messages of Hollywood celebs. There's been no evidence yet that the paper regularly hacked phones in the U.S. -- but it has seemed logical to scandal watchers that Notw reporters would find it irresistible to do so in the world's entertainment capital. Just before Desborough was assigned to cover Hollywood, he won the British Press Award for being the show business reporter of the year. Judges said that his "uncompromising scoops" show that "no celebrity with secrets can sleep easy.
