EURWEB: TNT’s ‘Boston’s Finest’ Wraps Season in Wake of Tragedy

*TNT reality series “Boston’s Finest” ends its freshman season on Wednesday with an episode given more weight in light of Monday’s bombings. As previously reported, the show is a passion project for its producer Donnie Wahlberg, a to-the-bone Bostonian whose tweets made national news yesterday as he sought an update on his New Kids on the Block band mate Joey McIntyre, who was running in the race. Joey eventually tweeted that he was ok, and had crossed the finish line just five minutes before the two bombs went off, killing three people and injuring at least 170. The handful of cops featured on “Boston’s Finest” were likely among those called to the horrific scene. Wahlberg isn’t a cop, but he’s certainly played a bunch of them on TV. He’s currently NYPD detective Danny Reagan on CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” and suited up as an LAPD detective on NBC’s short-lived “Boomtown” in 2002. An opportunity, therefore, to follow real officers from his hometown was right in his wheelho...

Blog from Joey after the Bostn Marathon

  The Day After Nothing can change that beautiful New England country side. Nothing can wipe away the moment I had with that Joey girl holding that well preserved New Kids poster from ‘89. Nothing can stop the “little person” walking up heart break hill or the double amputee walking down it on prosthetic “blades”. Nothing can take away that kiss I had with my mother. And no ones gonna tell me she didn’t recognize me. No one can take away the signs all along the course for every teacher and aunt and BFF and son and uncle that was running. Nothing can take away what happened 11 minutes after I ran a 3:57 Boston Marathon. And nothing will ever take away the power and resolve and fearlessness of the great city of Boston. We will get through this. It will take time. But we will get through this. See ya next year. http://joeyjoemcintyre.tumblr.com/day/2013/04/16

New Joey's Blog

Day 60-ish Sitting in the dressing room for the French Canadian version of The Voice (La Voix) with NKOTB. I am supposed to stay off my feet today and so far: mission accomplished in that one. I have had moments of anxiety/ excitement since I stopped into Boston to pick up my bib on Friday. Emotions start coming to the surfice. I am now thankful for the distraction of going to Toronto and Montreal this weekend. I’ve been sleep ok but then mercifully I just had a really good nap!! So we will shoot La Voix and be done at 7:40 and then jump on a plane and get into Boston around 10 and hopefully I’ll be in bed by 11-ish :)… feeling good. Let me thank you one more time for all your thoughts and prayers and well wishes!! See you out there on the course :) http://joeyjoemcintyre.tumblr.com/day/2013/04/14

96.5 TIC FM: Interview with Joey McIntyre

NKOTB’s Joey McIntyre Gears Up For The Boston Marathon & “The Pack  (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images) New Kids on the Block’s own Joey McIntyre called Gina J to talk all about this summer’s highly anticipated tour with Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees! He also filled us in on the new NKOTB album, and his big race this Monday! NKOTB’s youngest member grew up outside of Boston, and this Monday he will return to the city as a participant in the annual Patriots’ Day race– the Boston Marathon.   “It is probably going to be very emotional being in my hometown and doing that,” Joey told Gina. “It’s very exciting.” The singer has dedicated himself to months of training in preparation for the twenty six mile run, and he noted that all the hard work has been paying off.  “I have learned a lot through the preparation and the training. Like anything, if you train the right way you feel prepared [and] I feel pretty good about the race.” What did ...

Donnie Wahlberg: NKOTB Star On Embracing Their 'Boy-Bandness,' Losing a Sister and TV Success - AOL MUSIC

Alberto E. Rodriguez, Getty Donnie Wahlberg 's been making love. The 43-year-old singer and actor is returning to his pop star past with  New Kids on the Block 's just-released record 10  and tells AOL Music that making the album was a labor of love unlike any other in the group's three-decade span. "When we were young we were all about dating girls and having fun," he says. "It's like we've stopped having sex and started making love. That's where we're at as a group now -- this is what we do, we love what we do and we're in love with what we do... so it makes making love all the more special! "I enjoy every aspect more now than as a kid -- performing, recording, touring. I feel more at ease and confident, which is saying a lot because it's a young man's game." While they're no longer kids, Wahlberg says the band have finally embraced their "boy-bandness," returning to their roots and having more ...

"10" Reviews. The Good, the bad and the ugly

Here is a list with all the reviews I found on internet, there are some where you can add comments. - Artist Direct: "I like the new you," Donnie Wahlberg croons on "Remix I Like The", the first single from New Kids on the Block's, 10 . He could very well be talking about his group's latest record. 10 feels unequivocally and undeniably "new". It's not the work of a pop juggernaut reaching for past glories; it's the epic vision of five musicians whose feet are firmly planted in the future and are still leading the pack. That's the most magical and marvelous thing about 10 . It's New Kids On The Block's best album to date and a 21st century pop milestone.   New Kids On The Block "10" Album Review — 5 out of 5 stars - Billboard:  - Yahoo! OMG UK New Kids On The Block score a 7 with '10'   . Newsday: New Kids on the Block's '10' review: Boy banders still got it - Boston globe: N...

Billboard.com: "Band Has 'Gone Back Home On This Album' says Jordan Knight

The last time New Kids on the Block released an album was in 2008, and the late 80s/early 90s superstars' first comeback LP was not entirely their own. "The Block," which followed a 14-year hiatus for the vocal group responsible for hits like "Hangin' Tough" and "You Got It (The Right Stuff)," was stuffed with collaborations, including guest appearances by Ne-Yo, Timbaland, New Edition, Akon, the Pussycat Dolls and a then-little-known Lady Gaga. "The Block" has sold an impressive 332,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, but follow-up "10," released through Kobalt on Tuesday (Apr. 2), finds NKOTB singing with a singular vision -- that is, with nary a vocal collaborator on the entire LP. For Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood and Donnie Wahlberg, the first NKOTB album with all the members firmly in their 40s is a delightfully close-knit showcase. "What happened was that we...

OK! UK: New Kids On The Block hunk Jordan Knight talks making sweet music again

Boyband star reveals what goes down on a nkotb cruise! Tuesday 2 Apr 2013 Above: Jordan Knight tells us he never thought the band would still be together 30 years after starting out WHEN the email landed in our inbox asking if we’d like to interview New Kids On The Block, we must admit we were excited to say the least! Those handsome boys set our world on fire when they burst onto the pop scene back in the mid-’80s with hits such as Hangin’ Tough , Step By Step and You Got It (The Right Stuff) .  Now, almost 30 years on, the sound of handsome frontman Jordan Knight’s voice – this time not on the radio but on the other end of our actual phone – is still setting OK !’s heart aflutter.  ‘Hello, how are you?’ he drawls in his sleepy Massachusetts accent. ‘Where are you, London? I’m in Boston.’ In true Jerry Maguire style, our childhood pop heart-throb still has us at hello. ...

Contac Music: Jordan Knight Warns Justin Bieber To Cool His Temper

New Kids On The Block star Jordan Knight has urged Justin Bieber to keep his temper under control to avoid tarnishing his image forever. Picture: New Kids on the Block, Jordan Knight, Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight and Joey McIntyre - "The Package Tour" at Irving Plaza New York City NY... The Baby hitmaker's public persona has taken a battering in recent weeks following a disastrous trip to the U.K. last month (Mar13), during which he kept young fans waiting until past 10pm for a concert and threatened to "beat the f**k out of" a photographer outside his hotel. His increasingly erratic behaviour - which also included strutting the streets while wearing a gas mask - led to fears the teen idol is suffering a meltdown, and former 1990s pop star Knight has advised the singer to change his attitude towards the paparazzi if he wants to survive the fame game. Knight tells British magazine Ok!, "I think Bieber's doing the right thing. Don't take an...
