Star Spotting: Donnie Wahlberg Celebrates His 40th Birthday (Again)

(Credit: Khoi Ton) Above you see Donnie Wahlberg , New Kids On The Block member and veteran of countless network television cop shows, giving the ol' "don't speak" to an adoring fan who approached him at his second 40th birthday party. Second, you ask? Yeah, well, Donnie might actually be 41, but he had such a good time turning 40 that he decided to do it all over again. And judging by these pics, you can see why. It all went down at Mohegan Sun, in Connecticut, and by the looks of things, Donnie Wahlberg turns 40 twice the way most people turn 21 once. Looking at some of these party shots I feel the need to invoke and somewhat paraphrase the amazing Matthew McConaughey line from "Dazed And Confused." Donnie Wahlberg keeps getting older, but the girls stay the same age. While it was Wahlberg's night, he made sure his adoring fans went home with a little something as well, passing out Pop-Tarts with various images of him from over the c...

Happy Birthday, Donnie!

Posted by Mark Shanahan August 29, 2010 04:48 PM           Sssshhhh, Donnie's trying to think during his birthday bash at Mohegan Sun  Donnie Wahlberg threw himself a birthday party at Mohegan Sun over the weekend, billing it as "Donnie Wahlberg's 40 Again! Birthday Bash." (He turned 40 last year and hosted a similar party at the Connecticut casino.) The not-so- New Kid , who stars in the CBS cop show " Blue Bloods ," spent some of the the night in the club, Ultra 88 , surrounded by hundreds of screaming girls. http://www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/more_names/blog/2010/08/happy_birthday_donny.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . .

Infant Hearing Screening: ASHA Award for New Kids on the Block (Joey McIntyre)

Tuesday, August 24th 2010 Singer To Receive Annie Award Rockville, MD – August 12, 2010-  Performing artist Joe McIntyre of New Kids on the Block is the interviewee in a new podcast by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). McIntyre explains why he views his son Rhys’ hearing loss as a blessing and why he values the professionals who treat his child on a weekly basis. At ASHA’s Convention in Philadelphia this November, McIntyre will receive the Annie Glenn Award. The “Annie,” named after Annie Glenn for her many years of advocacy on behalf of people with communication disorders, is an honor ASHA bestows annually. Last year’s recipient was Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Rhys McIntyre has moderate to severe hearing loss, which was detected in the hospital during his newborn hearing screening. “We found out pretty fast,” McIntyre says of Rhys’ hearing loss. “It's so very important to have early intervention… we were lucky to find out right aw...

Paradise Rock Club se renueva tras critica de Joey

Joey McIntyre, we’ve got good news: the Paradise has moved that “big frickin’ pole,” just for you. Well, sort of. Technically, it’s the stage that’s moved — 15 feet towards Commonwealth Avenue — as part of a two-month, $400,000 renovation of the legendary live music club, to be completed this weekend. Marina and the Diamonds will be the first act, on September 1, to play the Paradise without having a two-foot cement support beam blocking the view. “The pole was always in the middle,” said Paradise co-owner Joe Dunne during a Monday afternoon walk-through. “The one complaint from patrons and bands was always the pole.” Rock fans have been complaining about the pole for decades, but it took a New Kid’s ire to finally get it removed. When McIntyre expressed his good-natured anti-pole feelings known in a December interview with the Herald , “that gave us a kick in the ass,” Dunne said. “But it was a huge job and it evolved from there.” The new-look Paradise has the same gene...

Yes, The New Kids on the Block Do a Cruise and Yes, It Sells Out

August 19, 2010 at 1:31 PM by Jennifer Kester Those of you who plastered posters of New Kids on the Block's Joey, Jordan and Donnie on their walls—you know who you are—can hang tough with your favorite boy band on the NKOTB Cruise 2010. That's right, you'll be stuck on a boat with the not-so-New Kids. Carnival is hosting an NKOTB cruise from the port of Miami to Half Moon Cay and Nassau in the Bahamas from May 12 to 16. Tickets just went on sale and will likely sell out. This marks the third voyage for the New Kids, and this year they are going bigger, setting sail on the Carnival Destiny with 2,600 rabid 30-something fans. Last year, the NKTOB cruise sold out in just a couple of hours, so this year the group got a larger boat. While the boy banders will give performances during the trip, Joey, Donnie, Danny, Jordan and Jonathan are known to mingle with fans during the cruise, including hanging with them in the hot tub. So start bikini shopping now, ladies, 'cause...

New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys are set to create the "Ultimate Ladies' Night Out".

Backstreet Boys Plan 'Ladies Night' New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys are joining forces to create a tour dubbed the 'Ultimate Ladies' Night Out'. Following a successful joint appearance by the two 90s boybands in New York earlier this summer, the two groups are now hoping to create a full tour together. A source told the E! News service: "The idea is to recreate the boy band phenomenon. It will be the ultimate ladies' night out." The bands are said to be in talks with promoters Live Nation about staging a tour across the US as early as next March. The initial meeting of two groups was at a New Kids show at Radio City Music Hall in June, where they sang Backstreet Boys' hit 'I Want It That Way' to the amazement of fans. After the show New Kids On The Block singer Donnie Wahlberg wrote on twitter: "As for tonight's Concert...Backstreet Boys got my respect forever!" There are also rumours managers for the...

Backstreet Boys y New Kids on the Block a punto de compartir una gira

El sueño de muchas adolescentes de los noventa podría ser cumplido. Ambas bandas se encuentran en conversaciones para salir de gira por todo EEUU, en marzo del próximo año. Los miembros de las bandas más importantes de la música pop de los noventa, Backstreet Boys y New Kids on the Block, están en conversaciones para salir de gira por todos los Estados Unidos, en marzo del próximo año. Según informa E! On Line, la idea es volver a recrear el fenómeno "boy band", que sacudió el mundo de la música a principios de la década, cuando varios grupos de jóvenes apuestos enloquecían a las adolescentes. No sería la primera vez que los Backstreet Boys y los New Kids comparten un escenario. Tras la salida de uno de sus integrantes (Kevin Richardson) los BSB volvieron a juntarse en el 2006 y se presentaron junto a los NKOTB en junio de ese año, en el auditorio del Radio City Music Hall. De hecho, ahí es donde la idea de una gira conjunta comenzó a cuajar, según afirma una fuente a...

Backstreet Boys & New Kids on the Block Touring Together Too?!

Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are close to signing a deal with Live Nation Entertainment to tour together this Spring, according to E!. The tour, which is described to be an evening of Expendables-meets-boy-band, is even searching for a third group to join the fun, with Boyz II Men being at the top of the list. Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block joined the stage together last June at Radio City Music Hall for an impromptu performance of the Backstreet classic, “I Want It That Way.” The management teams for both groups are even trying to get the boys together to record a single before the start of the tour!

Foto: Corbis.   El regreso de Backstreet Boys manifiesta el deseo del conjunto por reafirmar que el éxito de las bandas de pop masculinas no es "cosa del pasado". El grupo se encuentra en negociaciones para cerra un acuerdo que llevaría al conjunto a protagonizar una gira por EEUU con New Kids On The Block. Los organizadores también están dispuestos a añadir una tercera banda para la gira, según informa el portal E! Online. Boyz II Men podría ser la tercera banda en añadirse al cartel. El equivalente de 'Los Mercenarios' "La idea es recrear el fenómeno del éxito de las bandas masculinas. Será la noche de las damas", ha anunciado una fuente. Asimismo, explica que la posible reunión de las estrellas del pop sería el equivalente del regerso de Sylvester Stallone y Bruce Willis en 'Los Mercenarios'. La idea fue concebido al parecer después de que Backstreet Boys y...

Future Tour to Feature Both New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys?

August 17, 2010 09:57 PM EDT by Meredith Jacobs Remember the boy-band? That pop music, the dancing, those lyrics that somehow got stuck in your head and just wouldn't leave? Those music videos that used to top MTV's TRL? The posters of groups of guys hung up in teenagers' rooms? Could that trend me coming back for those same bands from back then? Boy Bands Have Become Manbands & Join Together? The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block have now become "manbands" and may be touring together next year. According to a source, "the proposed tour" would be like "an Expendables-meets-boy band experience, in order "to recreate the boy band phenomenon." Sadly, that ship may have sailed and it may not be so easy to get it back. The two bands have taken to the stage together before for a rendition of "I Want it That Way" from the Backstreet Boys' boy band days (June, Radio City Music Hall). Apparently since that was such ...

New Kids and Backstreet Boys Manning Up for Joint Tour?!

Backstreet's back! And going on the road with New Kids on the Block! The hip-to-be-square manbands are close to signing a deal with Live Nation Entertainment for a joint U.S. tour in 2011, perhaps as early as March, E! News has exclusively learned. A source close to the negotiations describes the proposed tour as an Expendables-meets-boy band experience, referring to the action blockbuster starring many beefy stars of yore. "The idea is to recreate the boy band phenomenon," says the source. "It will be the ultimate ladies' night out." Not that this would be the first time that Backstreet Boys and NKOTB have shared the spotlight. Backstreet, which is down to a quartet since the 2006 exit of eldest member Kevin Richardson, joined New Kids onstage in June at Radio City Music Hall for a big group "jam" on Backstreet's "I Want It That Way." "As for TONIGHT'S Concert... BACKSTREET BOYS got my respect forever!" Do...

Donnie Wahlberg loosens his tie

  Written by Rosy on August 13, 2010 – 5:17 pm With filming of the CBS show Blue Bloods in full force, you can never be too sure what celebs could potentially walk past! While Donnie Wahlberg was busy shooting on location in Washington Square Park, Melina Kanakaredes and her daughters strolled by accidentally with her two daughters Zoe and Karina Eleni on Wednesday, August 11th, 2010. New York City Blockheads must be having major luck spotting their favorite Boston boy more often! “Blue Bloods” is written and executive produced by Mitchell Burgess and revolves around a family of cops in the New York metro area. It stars Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, seasoned detective, family man, and Iraqi War vet who occasionally employ questionable tactics to solve cases. He is also the son of Chief of Police played by Tom Selleck. You can check out the pilot this fall on Fridays at 10:00pm ET/PT, starting September 24, 2010 on CBS.

NKOTB Cruise 2011 From Miami Announced; Tickets On Sale Friday

By Arielle Castillo , Tue., Aug. 10 2010 @ 2:30PM   photo by Sayre Berman Expect all the classic Kids-style choreography on board! We love musical cruise season every winter. It brings such a random assortment of sea-bound voyages, from the by-now-an-institution Jam Cruise to our new favorite, the garage-rock-soul-themed Bruise Cruise. Well, here's another somewhat unlikely hit trip that's returning: The New Kids on the Block cruise!  Haters be damned. Since reuniting in the past couple of years, NKOTB has been earning tidy sums for its concerts. The venues may be a little smaller than those they played in the late '80s and early '90s, but the performances are for no less passionate crowds.  Yes, the early New Kids fans have grown up, and lucki...

New Kids on the Block to Sell 2,600 Tickets to Carnival Cruise Concert

 '80s Boy Bands Are 'Hangin' Tough' on the High Seas By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ Aug. 12, 2010 On Friday morning, Nichole Newerth plans to be in front of her computer eagerly waiting to buy tickets. The '80s boy band is ready to head out on the high seas with 2,600 fans. No, she's not some star-crazed teenager but a 36-year-old mother of three looking to go on a four-day Caribbean cruise with the '80s boy band New Kids on the Block . "It's a lot of fun for mommies who need to cut loose," Newerth said. "I know, it sounds crazy." Forget filling stadiums and concert halls. These days, some bands are finding a second act on the high seas. The Backstreet Boys , Sammy Hagar , Boyz II Men and Rick Springfield all have upcoming cruises where they play to a boat full of adorning fans. But it's not just about the concerts. The musicians also lead limbo competitions, bingo games, belly flop contests and join in karaoke at the bar. ...

Joey McIntyre hits the red carpet for Middle Men

 Source: http://www.accidentalsexiness.com/2010/08/06/joey-mcintyre-hits-the-red-carpet-for-middle-men/   You know how they say, “you never forget your first crush?” It is completely impossible to when the first boy you fell head over heels for was Joey McIntyre from the world’s biggest boy band New Kids on the Block! After gazing into those crystal blue eyes and hearing him sing, “Please Don’t Go Girl” I knew that I was hooked. Now, in what seems like a hundred years later, I can’t help but look at these new pictures of Joey and melt all over my couch. He has grown into an even more handsome adult and the fact that he is such a true blue family man guarantees me as a fan for life. Joey walked the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of “Middle Men” held at ArcLight Cinemas on Thursday, August 5th, 2010 in Hollywood, California. Speaking of his family, we’d like to wish Joe and his wife Barrett Williams an early “Happy Anniversary!” On August 9th, they will...
