New Kids On The Block

I can’t say that I particularly liked New Kids On The Block back in the day, but I’m sure some people will be excited to know that they have reunited.

To celebrate this momentous occasion (!), the group appeared this morning on the NBC show Today. You might be happy to know that they announced plans to release a new album and go on a tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their platinum-selling Hangin’ Tough record.

Donnie Wahlberg, who shocked absolutely nobody by being an extremely mediocre actor, has been writing new material with the other members of the group - I can only hope his songwriting skills are of a higher standard than his performance in Dreamcatcher (seriously, that film was a big steaming pile of turd).

I’m sure Danny Wood will be the happiest of them all about this reunion, as his last group where possibly the worst thing to come out of Britain since Jade Goody. If you can’t remember Upper Street, count yourself lucky - the sight of a bunch of ex-boyband members squabbling like children on MTV was incredibly embarrassing to watch (incidentally I happened to notice Jimmy Constable, formerly of 911, on The One Show last night - how the mighty have fallen).

Will they be able to come up with something as good as Hangin’ Tough again? Will Marky Mark make a special appearance and show everyone his pants? Does anyone care?

These questions and more will surely be answered in the not-too-distant future.
