So I haven't posted for almost 8 months now and everyone probably forgot about me and I can get into the million and one things that I've been busy with later. But right now I had to come out of hiding to post this because this is the biggest news to ever hit my teeny heart!!!
It looks like the New Kids are making a comeback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No seriously. You have no idea how much this means to me. New Kids were my first ever fandom and my love for them knows no bounds still to this day. I just went through all of my vintage New Kids stuff over the holidays and boy do I have a TON of stuff! I will totally see them on tour a million times. This is crazy! I so hope it's true!!! (And I wonder if Jon will come out finally.)
Everyone else can keep all of their punk-type bands. I'm a true pop girl all the way and this is music to my ears. Between Darren Hayes coming back to the US for a tour in March and the New Kids coming back...well this is shaping up to be a good year. Now maybe *NSYNC (meaning Justin) can take a cue from the New Kids and make my year even better! ;)
According to People....
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20174022,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.
The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.
The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.
The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.
Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.
Is anyone else with me? Probably everyone is younger than me and didn't love them like I did, but man. Jordan was IT for me back in the day. lol
