ET Canada: Donnie Wahlberg on Jenny McCarthy and 'The View': "She Is Going To Be Fantastic."

While hundreds of his fellow actors have flocked to Toronto for TIFF-related purposes, Donnie Wahlberg has come to town for a very different reason—to hand out 200 free hamburgers.
The actor/singer, 44, was at the SoHo today distributing the free burgers to celebrate the Toronto opening of Wahlburgers, a burger franchise that he co-owns with his brother Mark.
ET Canada caught up with Wahlberg earlier today, and asked him to comment on his upcoming appearance on The View (co-hosted by his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, whose controversial claims about vaccines and autism have made her appointment to The View enormously contentious), and on the 25th anniversary of the New Kids on the Block album Hanging Tough.
Here's what he had to say.
On Jenny McCarthy and The View:
"She is going to be fantastic. She’s fantastic at everything she does, and I don’t see how this will be any different. I’m going to be there—I’m a guest, I’m her first guest. It's going to be a hot seat that’s for sure!"
On the 25th anniversary of Hanging Tough:
"I think it’s a mindtrip for every human being on planet earth – 1) That we have actually all aged 25 years, and 2) that so many people still sings those songs after so many years. It’s crazy. It’s been 25 years since we broke on the scene, but it feels better now. It’s better this time around, probably because we are older and can appreciate it more. I think we are better. I can’t jump around as much as I used to, but I like doing what I’m doing now much better now." 
Wahlburgers is expected to open in Toronto early next year.

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. 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...
