Back in the '80s, Jordan Knight was plucked out of obscurity to join one of the most popular groups at the time, the New Kids on the Block , so he understands what it's like to have someone give you your big break.

The re-formed and restyled boy band Backstreet Boys - AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough - perform at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London.

Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough says that the mania surrounding current teen idols the Jonas Brothers reminds him of his boy band hey day -- "with the young audiences and all that hysteria." Just over a year ago, being part of a boy band was considered to be the dorkiest gig in pop.

They're not new -- or kids, for that matter -- but thanks to a hit CD and tour, New Kids on the Block are the hottest-selling reunion since The Police.

The global financial crisis has claimed another scalp - that of reformed 1990s boyband New Kids on the Block.

Astute fans may remember the last time the boy band performed in Saratoga Springs, when Donnie Wahlberg took a spill and fell through a trap door onstage at Saratoga Winners.

New Kids on the Block offer up their 'Full Service Tour' to their western New York fans at 7 p.m. Sunday at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, 9993 Alleghany Road, Darien.

They may be New Yorkers for five nights a week, but the Roots still know how to make their hometown feel loved.

The New Kids on the Block never go out of style. Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jon Knight and Danny Wood were spotted at club LIV at the Fontainebleau to celebrate Wood's 40th birthday.

Generation X-ers whose hearts palpitate at the mere mention of the acronym NKOTB will warm to the news the American boy band is coming to Wollongong on their Australian tour.

As t ink! was continuing to perplex and befuddle the vast majority of the New Kids on the Block fan base, the word in and of itself still eluded many us.
