Boston band New Kids on the Block has cruised into a new record.  The band's NKOTB cruise has been named the fastest selling cruise charter of all time.  From May 14-17, 2010, fans of NKOTB who were lucky enough to obtain tickets before they sold out were treated to concert performances, photo sessions, and parties with the original members of New Kids on the Block.
Participants of the second annual New Kids on the Block cruise also received VIP concierge services, gift bags filled with exclusive NKOTB merchandise, and the opportunity to win prizes.  The cruise took place on the Carnival cruise ship Imagination.  Although the cruise sold out quickly,  fans were able to be put on Carnival's waiting list. 
New Kids on the Block was created in Boston, Massachusetts in 1984, disbanded in 1994, and reunited in 2007 when they released their first new album in more than a decade.  Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood are the band's founding members.
After the NKOTB cruise ended, the band continued a very limited tour of the United States.  The tour begins on June 10, 2010 and ends on June 19, 2010.  Dates on the tour include three shows in New York at Radio City Music Hall.  Two of the three shows are currently sold out and the third is sure to follow soon.  Visit NKOTB.com for more information and to purchase tickets while they are still available.

On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
