I guess it’s time to dust off the old Joey McIntyre Doll, and put it up on the shelf again, cuz the NKOTB are set for a reunion! Yep, this is the stuff dreams are made off (insert visions of candy corn and sugar plum fairies here).
The main tip-off: the official boyband website is up and running. After years and years of being in nowheresville, the site has finally been rejuvenated; and it’s even playing some PHAT beats!
Truthfully, since 1994, when the band split, we ALL knew it was just a matter of time before they came hiphop jiving their way back onto our TV screens, and right back into our hearts.
The band formed in 1984, and was the originale of the bubble gum, boy-pop era. NKOTB was made up of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, and Donnie Wahlberg (yep, the brother of the Invisible guy–better known as humungo-penis star Dirk Diggler, aka: Marky Mark Wahlberg).
So despite one of the New Kids having a brother with a huge, fake penis, most of them have really fallen under the radar for the last few years. Jordan, and my personal favorite, Joey, tried their shot at solo careers, and in doing so, made Nick Carter look like a mother f$&#ing hero! (That’s bad!). Jordan also made a huge ass of himself on the brilliant reality TV show for washed up celebrities called The Surreal Life.
Donnie, the one with the REAL career, has remodeled himself as a talented, rising actor, with roles in The Sixth Sense, Ransom, Saw, and many many more.
However, before all you girls (and boys) go out and get your bikini waxes and 10 crates of your choice New Kid’s fav food, the reunion may only be the on-and-off-again rumor that has been plaguing the airwaves since the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. In fact, according to TMZ, only three members are confirmed to be taking part in the reunion so far (Jordan, Joey and Donnie). Does it matter that they’re the three BEST members of the NKOTB??
Sure it does!! At least for Donnie Wahlberg anyway, cuz as the NKOTB’s fallen star continues to rise again, I’m pretty sure we can all predict that Donnie’s run as a respected screen actor has officially come to a crushing halt:
