The Drudge Report teased the story of the One Direction singer who died in a plunge from 3 floors up in his hotel "One Direction: Down."

Agree. No matter the circumstances of his death, it's totally tasteless.

Now it's revealed that there's an odd, "Basic Instinct" vibe to Payne's death. Remember in the movie, Sharon Stone's character is a novelist who writes about murdering a rock star with an ice pick...and that happens in her mansion. Likewise, Liam Payne’s ex-girlfriend wrote a book with verisimilitude about Payne's death:

From today's L. A. Times:
Liam Payne’s former girlfriend, Maya Henry, wrote a book of fiction called “Looking Forward,” which says it’s “inspired by true events.”
In one scene in Henry’s book, the protagonist’s boyfriend threatens to kill himself by jumping off a balcony during a drug-fueled breakdown.
The tragic death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, who fell from a third-floor balcony at a Buenos Aires hotel Wednesday, has brought added attention to a novel written by ex-girlfriend Maya Henry that includes one scene eerily reminiscent of news reports out of Argentina this week.

In Henry’s book — “Looking Forward,” a work of fiction “inspired by true events,” the cover says — a model named Mallory falls in love with Oliver, member of a popular boy band called 5Forward that has been assembled after auditions for a TV show called “Star Power.” Toward the end of the book, which was published in April, the character of Mallory returns to the London flat she shares with Oliver to find him suffering a drug-fueled mental breakdown. He is screaming and crying and slapping himself on the face. At one point he threatens to jump off a balcony, saying he’s going to kill himself.

“He stands outside, in the dark London night, sobbing and unsteady, the handrail only a few feet away. And below that is the cold hard pavement,” Henry writes in her book. “I watch in horror as he sways a bit, unsteady on his feet, inching ever closer to the railing. He has to stop, I think. I have to stop him.”

Now it's being reported that Payne's record label dropped him just a few days ago.

It belongs in National Lampoon....years after the tragedy.
