Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight got the NKOTB party started at the House of Blues on Sunday and Donnie continued the Block party into the wee hours yesterday morning at The Estate.
Dorchester homeboy Donnie Wahlberg kept the Block party going after the New Kids’ show at the House of Blues on Sunday night.
Donnie beat feet from Lansdowne Street to The Estate for an oh-so-exclusive afterparty where he was greeted by a barrage of screaming female fans.
And don’t think Donnie takes his rekindled pop stardom for granted! Because before taking the stage, the actor/singer walked the line of admirers that stretched down The Alley and around the corner onto Boylston Street, meeting and greeting as many gals as he could before security whisked him through the door.
Inside, Donnie grabbed a mic, hopped on stage and began belting out his solo tune “I Got It,” NKOTB’s “Click, Click, Click,” before closing with “Rise ’N’ Grind.”
It was the second benefit of the evening Donnie & Co. did for Toys For Tots . Earlier in the night, the entire band - along with car czar Ernie Boch Jr.’s Ernie & The Automatics - performed for a star-studded crowd at the House of Blues.
Grooving to the holiday beat were Godsmack frontman Sully Erna; Johnny Gill, Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe from New Edition, who joined the boys onstage for a song from the sold-out show; football hero Doug Flutie, his daughter Alexa and his niece; and super-agent - and ex- Extreme drummer - Paul Geary Despite the blizzard, the show was packed, and we heard scalpers outside were getting upwards of $500 apiece for tickets. Ho, ho, ho!
