New Kids On The Block

In case you missed the nostalgic squeals coming from the downtown streets on Saturday, New Kids on the Block were in Grand Rapids and brought TLC and Nelly along for the ride. I was lucky enough to have an up-close view from my 2nd row seat. It was smack in the center of the main stage, the middle of an “in the round” boxing theme. Promising “hit after hit after hit”, The Main Event certainly deli

New Kids on The Block, with special guests TLC and Nelly, will be hitting the stage at Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena on May 30 -- a Saturday. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, Jan. 31.

Thanks in part to the recent trend of boy band revivals, 2014 is starting to feel like 1997 all over again, rivalries and feuds included. Verbal shots were fired between 'N SYNC’s Joey Fatone and the Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, but at least one member of this conflict is ready to forgive and forget for old times’ sake.

Nick Carter and Jordan Knight, members The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block respectively, are teaming up to record an album and tour together, they said in an announcement on “Good Morning America" this morning.

I love all boybands equally. Okay, I can't really say that. I prefer the New Kids over the rest of them, but only because they were my first boyband loves. I don't love them so much more than the Backstreet Boys that I would beat up a BSB member's little brother on the street over it, though. But, that's exactly what happened in Boston over the weekend.

Performing in front of large groups of people can be nerve-racking, and just because you've done it for years doesn't make it any easier. Just ask NKOTB's Jonathan Knight, who walked off the stage during the boy band's New York City concert and never returned.

So, it's no secret that I'm a huge NKOTB fan. When they came to Van Andel arena a couple of years ago and I got to meet them, I thought I was going to die. I was a die hard fan when I was a kid, and I love them to this day. As a kid (and still now) I had a favorite New Kid - Jonathan. Yes, I had the button. And that is why Jonathan Knight earns the title of "Wendy's Hunk Of The Week" for

Fans who can’t make it to the big NKOTBSB concert at London’s O2 arena later this month will have a chance to witness the show live throughout theaters across Europe. The Backstreet Boys announced the arrangement in a post on their website.

NKOTBSB (New Kids On The Block and the Backstreet Boys) took over downtown Grand Rapids last night and put on an amazing show! Check out the pics from the show.

Being a Number One Fan isn't always easy OK? You gotta defend your favorite band against all idiotic comments (So what if Danny had a rat tail? So did all the boys in my kindergarten class), you have to have as much band merch as possible (speaking of, some of y'all had some crazy awesome shrine pics you entered in our contest! Our winner btw, totally meeting the Boys & Kids this very minute!)

New Kids On the Block member, Joey McIntyre (who was my best friends favorite back in the day) is expecting a baby girl! According to this article on msn.com, he and his wife Barrett are expecting a little girl later this year.

Ok ladies, don't lie, when the New Kids and the Backstreet Boys were in their prime back in the day, you loved them. In fact, you probably still love them now ("Hangin' Tough" on your iPod? I thought so.). You probably had all of the buttons, posters, beach towels, board games, dolls, trading cards, t-shirts and other random things with their faces on them as you could get your hands on,
