1. Harry Styles rips his pants at a concert in front of Jennifer Aniston

You've heard of The Spit, but make way for The Split. Harry Styles was performing at the Kia Forum in California on Thursday night when he got down on a knee and his pants fully split open. We're not talking about a tiny tear, but a pretty massive hole over the entire crotch area. The "As It Was" singer quickly got up and covered up the hole with his hand, later wrapping a towel around his waist. "My trousers ripped," he told fans. "I feel it necessary to apologize to a certain few of you right down in the front there." Making matters worse was the fact that a number of stars were reportedly at the concert, including Jennifer Aniston — who Styles has said was his first celebrity crush. And as SpongeBob taught us, no girl ever wants to dance with a fool who went and ripped his pants.
