Michelle Obama invites One Direction to White House despite previous snub - report

Michelle Obama may have finally convinced One Direction to perform at the White House. President Barack Obama and wife Michelle's daughters -- Malia Obama and Sasha Obama -- are big fans of the British boy band, so much so that Malia once dragged a secret service agent along to a 1D concert in Virginia.

The boys of One Direction turned down a previous invite from Michelle, but the UK's Daily Star reports the First Lady has once again extended a personal invitation.

Mrs. Obama wants the boys to perform for Malia and Sasha as a thank you gift for their help during the president's re-election campaign.

A source close to One Direction says it's an open invitation, and the boys do plan to accept -- when they can fit it into their busy schedules.
