One Direction is back in New York after a visit to L.A. for the Kids' Choice Awards where they also met Justin Bieber in his recording studio. However, rumors of a Justin/One Direction collaboration are unfortunately, not true. "He's a nice guy and we had a good listen to the album," Liam says. "But I don't think there's any collaboration in the cards."

Are you excited to see One Direction on SNL this weekend?

J-14 was so excited to catch up with one of our favorite iCarly characters, Gibby, played by the always hilarious Noah Munck -- especially with the brand new episode "iGo One Direction" airing Saturday, April 7 at 8 p.m. EST! We couldn't resist asking Noah everything about working with One Direction and lucky for us, he was happy to dish tons of details about the brand new episode, including what the guys are really like when the cameras aren't rolling, and even fill us in on what it's like to be a member of the band!

J-14: Tell us all about how your character, Gibby, becomes a part of One Direction? We heard you even sing "What Makes You Beautiful" with the guys in the new episode!
Noah Munck: Well, Harry Styles gets sick with jungle worms, it's called, and I step in as the new lead singer of One Direction. I was actually a fan of One Direction before they came on the show, so it was pretty cool to film that. They told me, specifically, to sing terribly. That was my instruction.

J-14: Did you have any tips for them since it was their first time acting on TV?
Noah: The cast was all planning to help them out, but they turned out to be amazing. They didn't need help at all. They were great!

J-14: What was your very first reaction when they first stepped onto set?
Noah: It started when I pulled up to work. I was like, "Oh my gosh, there are all these screaming girls here." And I thought they were screaming for me, so I was like, "Hey girls, what's up?" And I realized that Harry had pulled in behind me. But I don't really get nervous around celebrities. Although my sister was on set that day and she screamed, freaked out, and ran over. That was pretty hilarious.

Putting an end to rumors of any competition between Justin Bieber and One Direction, the guys proved that they're each other's biggest fans by collaborating in the recording studio on Tuesday night in L.A.! The One Direction boys got to listen to tracks from Justin's upcoming Believe album and also possibly recorded a song together.

A song collaboration has yet to be confirmed, but after the studio session, Niall Horan and Liam Payne both Tweeted their excitement. "In the studio with our boy @justinbieber last night, it's [gonna] sound great!" Niall Tweeted. Liam added, "Got a first listen to Justin Bieber's new album yesterday wowww big songs!!! It's gunna be a smash ... Expect the unexpected :O." And Justin had just as much fun hanging with the 1D boys. "Thanks buddy," he Tweeted back to Liam. "Good chillin with u guys."

Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, recently hinted that Justin would love to work with 1D. "[A collaboration is] very possible," Scooter Tweeted. "He likes them and thinks they are good dudes. All people of that generation should be there to help each other." And after the boys hit the recording studio together this week, Scooter added, "Studio was pop star hangout central tonight."

While there's no word yet on if the collaboration would appear on Justin's Believe, One Direction's next album, or a new side project, Beliebers and Directioners are definitely in for a treat. Stay tuned to J-14.com for all the breaking details!
