NEW KIDS NEWS

May 29, 2011 – Women in homemade t-shirts are screaming and holding signs. You hear certain names being shouted over and over again – Donnie, Nick, Danny, Howie, and “A.J.”. Then it all starts to make sense. You’re at a New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys concert, shortened to the unbelievably long acronym ‘ NKOTBSB ‘ for the purposes of their summer tour together. A decade or two may have passed since these two boy bands dominated the charts, but that didn’t stop them from breaking out the hits and the dance moves that made them famous. The boys are back, and so are the ladies who will not stop screaming for them. The Kids and the Boys didn’t just storm out on stage and get down to their business of singing and dancing acrobatics, though. Oh no, they made the ladies wait. The reaction to opening act Ashley Huff was less than warm as her DJ struggled to force one pair of hands to start clapping – a true sign that fans were holding their excitement for the main at...

Jordan Knight, lead singer of New Kids On The Block stopped by to chat with Hoda and Kathie Lee on The Today Show. Jordan chatted about the new tour that combines New Kids with The Backstreet Boys. The combined group will be singing on The Today Show plaza this Friday (June 3rd). Jordan also chatted about releasing his first solo CD in five years titled “Unfinished Business.” Jordan confessed to Kathie Lee that “it’s a little strange to be having a CD come out at the same time as launching a new tour. It’s also a little hectic.” He noted “it’s always a great time because there’s so much exposure and I’m kinda riding the wave of the whole tour and everything else.” Jordan looked handsome but very relaxed and confided “we have a day off today.” Since the band was off Jordan said he “came to put out a CD” and Joe (Joey McIntyre) flew off to LA to put out a new baby. He’s having a baby girl today.” When asked if the kids go on tour with their fathers Jordan said “they d...

Family Business ­­­ ­­­ ­­ ­BY: Shawn Malcom­ ­ “I WANT MORE CARROTS!” Tom Selleck announces from his seat at the dining table. Surrounded by his Blue Bloods brood, the actor is playfully ad-libbing dialogue for a family dinner scene, which is unfolding at New York’s Pier 59 Studios for a Watch! photo shoot. As legendary lensman Patrick Demarchelier snaps away, Selleck’s onscreen daughter, Bridget Moynahan, can’t help but respond with a little good-natured ribbing. Holding a breadbasket in one hand, she glances at Selleck’s plate, which already has a generous serving of the vitamin A-rich veggie, and cracks, “You sure you need more?” Forget carrots. It’s Blue Bloods’ artful recipe of meaty police cases and slow-simmering character development that fans can’t get enough of. Since its premiere last September, the series—which revolves around a multigenerational clan of New York City cops headed by Selleck’s commissioner Frank Reagan—ha...

By REBEKAH MEYER The Bulletin Posted May 31, 2011 Mohegan, Conn. — Whoever came up with the concept for the NKOTBSB tour must have loved the musical Chicago. “One jazz killer is nothing these days, but two …” That was the idea behind the cleverly monikered NKOTBSB tour, and boy, was it a good one. Each band — New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys, for those keeping track — has been making few waves within the last few years, but put them together and you have a girls' night waiting to happen. The headliners started very late — 44 minutes after the second opener finished. But once they came out, all was forgotten. They appeared, appropriately, high atop a riser, looking down at an expanse of cheering fans. It was an expertly calibrated show: a nonstop, 2 hour-15 minute killer, with very little downtime between songs and almost no banter. Even the ...

A New Kid’s ‘Unfinished’ business By Lauren Carter Sunday, May 29, 2011 Photo by Ted Fitzgerald ‘HIGHER’ LOVE: Jordan Knight rehearses at the Dance Complex. S trolling down Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge last week, New Kids on the Block superstar Jordan Knight seems less like a heartthrob in one of the world’s biggest boy bands and more like, well, a regular person. His fourth solo album, “Unfinished,” drops Tuesday and a scream-worthy joint tour with NKOTB and fellow pop idols the Backstreet Boys kicks off this week (hitting Mohegan Sun Arena tomorrow and Thursday, TD Garden on Saturday and Fenway Park [ map ] on June 11). But you’d never know it by talking to the unassuming crooner. When asked how he stays humble amid the hoopla, Knight revealed for the first time his struggles with alcoholism. “I stopped drinking about six years ago,” Knight said outside of the Dance Complex in Central Square, his rehearsal spot for his recent solo per...

NKOTBSB Launch New Tour May 25, 2011 Two of the most popular boy bands of all time, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys , have combined to put on one legendary tour for their faithful fans and we were there as they got ready the day before their first tour date. The two bands shared one stage for the first time at the 2010 American Music Awards in November and AJ McLean called the crowd's reaction to that performance "the spark" that ignited the tour's launch. The bands have gotten well acquainted as Donnie Wahlberg revealed, saying, "We know who's got the bad hygiene habits, whose gas is the worst … We kind of know a lot about each other now." As if the news of NKOTB and BSB uniting wasn't enough, now "Glee" star  Matthew Morrison will reportedly join the tour on July 6 in Anaheim, California and continue with the band through August 7 in London, Canada, according to the Los Angeles Times. The new NKOTBSB tour k...

Credit: E One HOLD THE [SWATCH] PHONE! Jordan Knight has a new album out! The “Giving It To You” singer is truly "giving it to us" from a musical standpoint — he’s touring with fellow New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys (NKOTBSB, for the uninvolved) beginning June 2nd (have you bought your tickets?!) AND has been flying solo on his latest side-hustle, album, his new album, Unfinished .It'll be out May 31 on iTunes and features the easy yet up-tempo dancey beat of The New Kids On The Block's newer albums while clearly influenced by Jordan's 1999 solo debut, "Give It To You." Listen to Jordan's solo songs, and it's clear that Jordan's boy-bander-all-grown-up hotness and ability to create dance-pop is ALSO "Unfinished." We envision it's a lifelong work in progress, actually. "Let's Go Higher" directly references DJs and dancefloors -- a good indication that that's exactly where yo...
