Tiger Beat mugs of the New Kids On The Block flanked the door, along with a "Do Not Enter" sign, into my eleven-year-old bedroom. They were my second concert ever (after Madonna) and I always had a crush on Joey, the baby-faced, blue-eyed one.My, how things have changed!!! Fifteen years later who would have guessed that out of the five Jonathan Knight would end up the real looker. Last week, a...

America really loves (and misses) its boy bands. Following Young Jeezy's aptly-titled Number One album The Recession on the charts this week was none other than The New Kids on The Block!NKTOB sold 95,000 copies of their first album in fourteen years The Block. Normally I'd applaud such a feat. Afterall, as much as I hate to admit it, Teen Bop photos of NKOTB covered the door to my room when I...

Oh man, if this would have happened twenty years ago it would have been MAJOR. Donnie Whalberg of NKOTB thought it would be a good idea to spice up their reunion by extending an offer to New Edition to cut a track."Donnie Wahlberg had this idea for a few months, since New Kids had the idea of getting back together really," says producer RedOne, who worked on the song. "Donnie's been looking for...

I was only 11.Joe was my favourite. Who else will admit to loving NKOTB? If you did, who was your favourite?

As I reached the top of the never-ending concrete steps of the HP Pavilion, I instantly felt out-of-place. Not only am I male, I'm also only 27. It was a sea of thirty-something single, married, straight/lesbian women and they were everywhere. EVERYWHERE! They were in line buying hot pink t-shirts... [[ This is a content summary only.

You probably remember my (rather big) love for new kids on the block, Red Light Company after we first found them, and then when we caught them live. Well now they’re off on the road again for a fairly dauntingly big new tour throughout October and November.Tickets are on sale now, priced between £5 and [...]

Yes, it has happened folks. During their appearance on the Today Show April 4, NKOTB announced that it will release a new album this summer and will also kick off a tour in the fall. Their very first performance will take place back on the Today Show on May 16.Check out the video of their appearance last Friday.

The rumors are true. The New Kids on the Block will appear on the Today show on April 4th. The reunion marks the 20th anniversary of the group's platinum album, Hangin Tough..... This could be a disaster.

Okay, so I just found out New Kids on the Block are getting back together. Wow. Does anybody remember when VH1 tried to get them back together a couple years ago? I think it was around the time Jordan Knight was popular. I remember that it didn't end up happening back then because one of the members (I forget which, but it was one of the lesser known ones) didn't want to do it.So what chang...

NKOTB is back. I was never able to see them back in 1990. I will see them if they come to Saint Louis.(The video is available!)P.S. My husband, Brian, is being evil and playing Rush on Rock Band. He knows my love/hate of Rush.P.P.S. I'm such a stoner. It's Iron Maiden - "Run To The Hills." One day I'll have someone video tape me signing it. I do a great hair metal/opera voice.

Bear with me through the nostalgia, I will get to the music part. One of my initial music memories I possess was somewhat of a root too (if you don't know, in fag speech, a "root" refers to the earliest indication that one may be of the gay; made popular by the film But I'm a Cheerleader.) My sister, aunt and I were dancing around to a New Kids on the Block CD. The track was "Right Stuff." A...

According to Yahoo!, the fab five from the late 80's/early 90's could be reuniting. The buzz comes from sudden activity on their website encouraging fans to await an announcement. People Magazine reports that a reunion seems to be in the works. It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since the break-up.What do you guys think, if anything, about the reunion?

In 1989, I loathed the New Kids on the Block with a passion and intensity that only junior high-aged children can bring to their study of popular culture, yet when Hangin’ Tough Live hit DVD, I had to see it.I’m not sure who was supplying leads to the gossip circles of Oroville, California in 1989, but it was common knowledge at Central Middle School that Metallica had physically attacked the
