My friend Kelly just sent me this item from today's Boston Globe:

At last, New Kids on the Block are getting back together. A person involved in planning the long-rumored reunion told us yesterday that the mega-selling boy band will make their comeback official with an announcement Friday on the "Today" show. According to our source, all five original New Kids - Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, and Jordan and Jonathan Knight - have committed to the reunion, which comes on the 20th anniversary of the Boston band's biggest-selling LP, "Hangin' Tough." A tour is planned, the details of which will be announced soon on the group's newly redesigned website nkotb.com. Before breaking up in 1994, NKOTB was a worldwide phenomenon, selling more than 50 million albums. The band members, now all in their mid- to late-30s, have hardly been idle since. McIntyre continues to record, tour, and dance - he was on "Dancing With the Stars" - Wahlberg has appeared in several films; Jonathan Knight is a developer in the Boston area; Jordan Knight still records and made a regrettable appearance on "The Surreal life"; and Wood is a music producer.

This must be a joke. Can they even call themselves the "New Kids"? They are neither new or kids. And "old guys from Boston" just isn't going to cut it.

I'm going to assume this is just an April Fool's joke.
