NKOTB News for May 31

Update: A brand new season of Very Scary People hosted by Donnie Wahlberg premieres Sunday night at 9 ET/PT on HLN. It takes a look at the Canadian True Crime case of a couple who became known as "The Ken and Barbie Killers." Click here for a preview! 

The New Kids were very happy that the Boston Celtics advanced to the next round of the NBA playoffs!  Donnie shared this short clip of them celebrating!

You'll notice Joey was not in the video because he was a little superstitious and didn't watch the game! 

Joey talked about his plan not to watch, betting on the game in Las Vegas, and his thoughts about Celtics player Jayson Tatum wearing a Laker's purple armband (in honor of Kobe Bryant). 


New Kids on the Block will be on Entertainment Tonight today! ET Canada shared an article reviewing the show in Anaheim and highlighting when a fan got a surprise proposal from her boyfriend at the show.

HLN also did a news segment about the show!

Some years ago, Donnie helped find a match for a fan in need of a kidney donation. Another fan that needs one attended a show recently and Donnie read her sign. Her sister is also in need of a kidney. To read more about her story, click here. If you want to see if you can help, click here!

NKOTB News for May 28

Joey went live on Instagram earlier today! He reminisced about spending time in Anaheim in 1989 when New Kids on the Block were starting to get famous.  He remembered going to get cheeseburgers at the McDonalds across the street, so he decided to get lunch there again today.  

Joey was wondering where his slippers went. Turns out Donnie took them! (From Joey's Instagram stories at the Los Angeles show)


Joey's son Griffin made an appearance during the Illtown Sluggaz set at the San Diego and Los Angeles shows. Here is a video from mrsjoemac

Rattailnkotb also shared a video of Griffin here!

I haven't seen as many "quick change" videos, but here's a funny one where Jordan and Danny are caught off guard because they didn't realize it was time for the quick change broadcast:

There is a documentary in the works about fans of boy bands such as NKOTB. It's called "superfans: screaming. crying. throwing up." No word yet when it'll be released. Check out the article here
