One Direction White House Shocker: Boy Band Turns Down Invite From Michelle Obama

One Direction GleeCharles Sykes, AP

In recent years, the White House's annual Easter Egg Roll has been a star-studded event, playing host to such musical acts as the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber. So naturally, when Michelle Obama ran into the hottest new boy band One Direction at this past weekend's Kids' Choice Awards, the first lady extended an invite for the lads to attend. You'd think RSVP-ing "yes" would be a definite for this up-and-coming musical act. But believe it or not, 1D turned the first lady down!

According to the BBC, a rep for the White House confirmed the invite, but sadly the guys has to decline, as they will be on tour in Australia at the time. We're sure fist daughters Malia and Sasha must be pretty bummed!

Despite their White House rejection, it seems the 1D boys are great fans of the Obamas ... or at least of the fist lady! "[Michelle] is a very classy woman, very elegant," the Guardian reports Liam Payne as saying. Payne also rated the FLOTUS "an 11 out of 10" in the looks department. Fellow One Direction member Harry Styles, meanwhile, said he had "too much respect for Barack" to remark on the first lady's appearance. What a gentleman!

If it's Michele Obama, it's not an invitation...it's a COMMAND PERFORMANCE!

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ageless'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.

Not a "shocker". AOL deception instead.

I didn't know an egghunt involved hiring a band. How much does that cost us, yet we can't even partake in it? Besides, the headline made it look like they had a political agenda, but they don't.
