All you teen girls who are now between 25-35 and covered your walls with either New Kids on the Block or Backstreet Boys posters or better yet both in the ’90s, be prepared to get that feeling all over again because the two boy bands are going on tour together. A source told E! that they are close to signing a deal with LiveNation and said, “The idea is to recreate the boy band phenomenon. It will be the ultimate ladies’ night out.” The source added that they are looking to add a third boy band and they are considering Boys II Men. Personally I think they either need a band from the ’80s or the last decade, so I say either Menudo or the Jonas Brothers. The latter’s 15 minutes are almost up, so this would be a great way to extend it. Now back to the tour, I feel bad for all the ushers that are going to have to listen to all of those screaming women remembering their teenage dreams! The screeching will certainly hurt their ears, it is already hurting mine thinking about it.
BTW I thought of a great promotion for the tour, Syfy should do a movie with NKOTB vs BSB…Mega Lobsters vs Gigantic Stone Crabs! NKOTB are Harvard scientists trying to stop the Mega Lobsters from taking over while BSB are University of Miami scientists doing the same with Gigantic Stone Crabs, so the 9 men get together and have their water creatures fight it out. Doesn’t that sound Mega!
So Jordan Knight was out and about when a guy recognized him, well sort of… He is like are you Brian McKnight and the NKOTB star is like, “Do you know what Brian McKnight looks like?” But the guy was insistent and said the woman told him that he was Brian McKnight who was in New Kids on the Block. Then as Jordan kept questioning him, he finally got The Right Stuff and realized it was Jordan Knight and just got confused by all the excitement of meeting someone from NKOTB. Once he knew who he was he took out his camera, snapped a photo and asked for a autograph for his sister. Well according to Jordan Knight’s Twitter he did more than sign something for her, he Tweeted “Oh, and yeah I did talk to his sister…left her a vm…” How sweet to do that after all of that! I hope that she records her reaction to the call and posts it on YouTube, just like Jordan Knight posted the video of meeting her brother!
BTW I am so thankful for phonecams because before them you would never be able to catch a moment like that!
Finally who else have ever messed up a celeb’s names when they met them in person? I once confused Doris Roberts for Renee Taylor. I am sorry but they are both older ladies with big grey hair. My bad completely, but don’t they kind of look alike?
New Kids on the Block has just wrapped up their tour and now Jonathan Knight is begging other musicians for a job via Twitter. Knight changed his bio to say “Back to just being blue collar! Can I collect an unemployment check from NKOTB? I think I’ve been temporarily laid off!”
Then after that he sent the below Tweets to several musicians.
Dear @backstreetboys I got laid off temporarily! You hiring? Ill even work for minimum wage! as long as its Pop Star minimum wage 😉
Dear @lancebass I got laid of temporarily! I think you all should get back together and take me along! I have boyband on my resume!

JK: Wow! I think I have something lined up! Thanks @Lancebass
BSB: Dear @JonathanRKnight thanks for your interest in @backstreetboys, could you please send over a resume, 3 references and a head shot?
JK: @backstreetboys Wasn’t RCMH resume enough? Wow you all run a tight camp over there! I think I may have gotten the job with NSYNC, LOL
JK: @backstreetboys Wait what was I thinking! NSYNC isnt coming back unless Justin goes bankrupt! Your on tour now…… package in the mail!
It will be interesting to see who he is going to see who he will be a New Kid on the Block for or if anyone really wants that Old Kid on the Block.
Personally I think he should contact the ladies in that picture and ask Tiffany and Debbie Gibson if he can get a part in their SyFy movie Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.
Yesterday New Kids on the Block was playing Radio City Music Hall when they were joined by another boy band the Backstreet Boys. The excitement from all of those former-teeny boppers was so ear numbing loud that I now have a headache that has Excedrin written all over it. Just think if their screaming was that high pitched, I don’t want to know how wet their panties were because it was a 30-something’s wet dream in 1999. Just think in 10 years the Jonas Brothers will get the same reaction when they join BSB at a show.
BTW I hope the two adult boy bands do a tour together so other women can enjoy them because according to those squeals it something they want to see. They can call their venture NKOTBSB, don’t you think? Just some advice if you go to see them, bring the aspirin because you are going to need it.
The Boy Banders are breeding and working on their replacements. New Kids on the Block’s Joey McIntyre has a new kid on the block because his wife gave birth to their second son yesterday. According to Us Weekly Rhys Edward came into the world weighing 7pds. 10 oz. Rhys is the second boy for Joey, the awwwdorable Griffin Thomas (pictured above) is 2.
Joey isn’t the only boy bander and Dancing with the Stars’ alumni with baby news, Us Weekly is reporting that 98 Degrees’ Drew Lachey is expecting his first son in the spring. Drew and his wife Lea already have a daughter, Isabella Claire, 3.
