New Kids On The Block Call The Roots 'Gentlemen' After 'Jimmy Fallon' GigWhen New Kids on the Block stopped by "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Monday night, they couldn't help but notice one thing about the show's house band: The Roots are perfect gentlemen."They're on it. It was pretty painless, pretty easy," Donnie Wahlberg told MTV News backstage at the show, where the guys were promoting their DVD, "Coming Home," which dropped Tuesday (February 2). "They're all gentlemen too," Joey McIntyre added. "This is the first time we've ever performed with the Roots, and we're very happy about performing with them," Jordan Knight said about their gig with the band. "We rehearsed earlier. They're quick, and they're gentlemen." The New Kids performed a medley of their fan favorites on the show, including "Tonight," "Dirty Dancing," "You Got It (The Right Stuff)," "Please Don't Go Girl" and "Step by Step," with the Roots backing them up. "We're gonna do a medley of songs — some of the old stuff and throw a new song in there too," Danny Wood explained. "This is basically to let everyone know we have our DVD coming out." In addition to the DVD, the guys also just announced a mini-tour this summer, but their priorities on Monday we're all about Fallon's show. "Honestly, it's very cool to be at 30 Rock and performing on the 'Late Show With Jimmy Fallon,' " McIntyre said. They might have been biased because of their appearance on the show, but is Fallon NKOTB's favorite late-night host? "Absolutely, of course. All the Jimmys," McIntyre joked about Fallon and Kimmel. "I'm still mourning Conan, but that's OK. He'll be back." The New Kids Visit the OK! BlockIt’s not every day that the heartthrobs of the past and present come together, but here at OK!’s NYC offices, we were lucky enough to be visited by some of the most sigh-inducing, pulse-quickening celebs America has ever seen — both from 20 years ago and today — the New Kids on the Block.NKOTB — otherwise known as Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood — made the time last week to sit down with the whole OK! family and chat about their new concert CD, Coming Home, their return to NYC in June at Radio City Music Hall, the Jersey Shore and more. And of course, being the gentlemen that they are, they gracefully posed for tons of pics with all their OK! staff fans! Have any celebrity fans turn up the live shows? Jordan: Oh yes. Carrie Underwood’s a big fan our ours. Kelly Clarkson. All the American Idols. Who’s your favorite person on Jersey Shore? Donnie and Jordan: DJ Pauly! What are some of the things you’ve got going right now through Twitter and Facebook? Donnie: Connecting with our fans first and foremost. We gather information from them and when they want something they tell us and we can respond to their needs and wants immediately. Haiti is a perfect example. We can promote causes like planetohaiti.org right now and we can also promote a record, a project, something that were interested in. Joey: They know about stuff before we do. What are some of the craziest fan moments you’ve had over the years? Jordan: It might have been in Korea. We were checking in at an airport and some fans caught wind of where we were going to be and a whole bunch of fans turned up while we were checking in at the ticket counter. It got so crazy that we had to jump over the counter and get onto the conveyor belt that takes your luggage down and underneath. We ended up underneath with all this luggage stacked up. Nearly got a stamp on our heads. How was touring with Lady Gaga? Donnie: She just had a spirit. It’s fun to watch Lady Gaga and RedOne, who produced a lot of her stuff and we also work with. It’s fun to see someone start before anyone really knows who they are. She was always creative and always ticking. She was very down to earth. She co-wrote a couple of songs on our album and she did a duet on On The Block as well. She was just a great girl and now shes a great girl who’s famous. Jon: I’ll never forget the first day I met her. I didn’t even know who she was and the president of our record company brought her over to a rehearsal. She walked in the room and I thought, “Who is that?” I just assumed she was famous already. She just had that aura about her. I think that shes always had it in her. Was anything off-limits on the live DVD anything that didn’t make the edit? Donnie: There’s a segment on the DVD that’s about the cruise. It shows Danny and I, going from cabin to cabin visiting the fans, and there was a girl on there who was in the shower when we came inside the room! It was really funny. I made a note to get a snippet of it in and we didn’t do it. I kinda kicked myself when I watched it last night. Her girlfriend let us in the cabin and was like, “Oh my god, my friend loves you guys. “The friend let us in the bathroom and the girl peeked round the curtain and was like, “Oh my God!” But we ended up chatting for about 10 minutes. Ill get the clip and leak it on YouTube.com. I want it to be seen! Who’s single right now? Donnie: Well, there are two married guys in the group and three unmarried guys in the group. Any more new material in the works? Jordan: Not in the works, but the door is wide open. Donnie: We’ve got a few things going on, so when the smoke clears a little bit, it’ll be fun to see what happens. NKOTB 2010 Tour DatesThe New Kids on the Block are at it again. After selling out a special show at Radio City Music Hall in just minutes, the Kids announce a second Radio City Music Hall show, and add on a string of dates across the country.NKOTB promises to give fans another exciting year with the announcement of these special shows being just the beginning. NKOTB will release Coming Home, a special live DVD, on February 2, 2010 which gives fans a true glimpse at what it took to achieve one of the most successful and momentous musical reunions in history. After storming onto the Pop Culture scene again in 2008, the group has continued to entertain and excite, and promises more huge announcements to come. “We’ve let our fans dictate this whole ride,” said Donnie Wahlberg. “They’ve been the ones to guide us through this whole journey. They want more, we’ll give them more, and we’ll enjoy every moment along the way.” The NKOTB fans’ support is unwavering. The fans continue to want more and NKOTB will continue to oblige! After the smash success of the first NKOTB cruise, the band arranged for another ship to set sail in 2010. The tickets went on sale and were sold out within minutes making it the fastest cruise charter sell out of all time. The Boston boys then announced a special hometown House of Blues appearance supporting Toys for Tots. This too sold out within minutes and raised over $60,000 for Toys for Tots. The NKOTB phenomenon continues to remain strong. The band has also teamed with I Love All Access to provide a variety of fan ticket packages for the show, including premium seats, meet and greets, photo ops, parties and more.

A&E Biography - Jan 16The Wahlberg Brothers Saturday, January 16 7:00am ET Growing up in Boston, Massachusetts, Donnie and Mark Wahlberg were the youngest of nine children. Donnie was the first to shoot to fame with the popular boy band "New Kids on the Block." Later, Donnie began an acting career in such films as Ransom and The Sixth Sense. His younger brother Mark began his career as a rapper with the moniker "Marky Mark" along with his group "The Funky Bunch." Mark's breakout hit as an actor came in the film, Boogie Nights, and he was later nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Departed. He has since expanded his resume to include Executive Producer of among other projects, the cult hit, Entourage.NKOTB BRING THE HOLIDAY CHEER TO BOSTON!New Kids on the Block brought the holiday cheer to a sold out crowd at Boston’s House of Blues during a special holiday show this past weekend to benefit great Boston’s Toys for Tots. The Boston boys sold out their show within minutes, and with all net proceeds from the event going directly to Toys for Tots, the group raised over 60k instantly. In addition to the monetary donations that poured in, fans filled FIVE plus truckloads of brand new toys to support the charity.“We’ve said it before, but we can never say it enough, we have the most amazing fans in the world. It is their generosity and dedication that made this all possible,” said Donnie Wahlberg. “Thanks to them, we are able to do what we do and help to give back. 5 truckloads of brand new toys went to Toys for Tots last night!!! The trucks were brimming! It was truly the most incredible sight.” “Santa who? The New Kids bring more toys than that guy!” exclaimed Sergeant Clint T Schibner of Greater Boston Toys for Tots. Going on, the Sergeant said, “We are absolutely amazed at the sincerity and generosity the New Kids have not only shown Toys for Tots, but more importantly the less fortunate children of the Boston area…their hometown! Marines pride themselves on taking care of their own. The New Kids can take pride in knowing their contribution, as well as their fans’ contributions, will affect the lives of tens of thousands of children in the communities where they grew up, thus, taking care of their own.” Promising a fun night full of surprises, the group did not disappoint. NKOTB showed some fan appreciation performing hit after hit including classic NKOTB holiday songs that haven’t been performed live in over 15 years! The New Kids pulled out all the stops even bringing local legends Johnny Gill and Ricky Bell from New Edition on stage to sing their joint song “Full Service” from New Kids’ recent album, “The Block.” The Boston boys even debuted their brand new song, “Coming Home” which fans received as a free download when the pre-ordered the band’s upcoming DVD of the same name. Adding more local flavor, NKOTB invited local businessman Ernie Boch to open and even play with them on select songs with his band Ernie and the Automatics. With non-stop action and surprise after surprise, lucky NKOTB fans were certainly treated to a one of a kind evening. SET LIST: For more information please visit www.nkotb.com.

Keys are inserted into packaging at random Twitter "Twayola" Is NKOTB's New Payola For Radio Stations!Remember the days, when record companies use to slip a radio station a few extra hundred bucks to promote their favorite artist's latest record? The term, "payola" derived from that practice. Today, those pay-offs are being replaced by a new 21st century social media updated version.Donnie Wahlberg and the New Kids on the Block put a new spin on that old formula. They alerted their fan base to accept a challenge to tweet the call letters of radio stations that would play Wahlberg's new single, "I Got it," also featuring Aubrey O'Day. When any of the NKOTB band members send a shout-out (or tweet-out in this case) to their fans, affectionately called the "Blockheads," their fan base always rises to the occasion to do whatever bidding may be asked of them. Back in April, I covered Jordan Knight's one-word tweet of "tink" that exploded onto the Twitterverse into a global frenzy of tens of thousands fans tweeting this word even though they had no idea what the word meant. Knight kept its meaning secret for over a week before he ran a contest for fans to determine the derivation of the word. Subsequently, "Tink before you tweet," became an inside joke for Blockheads worldwide, and t-shirts and other merchandise was sold online to support NKOTB's charity. Fans can download the MP3 of Donnie's single which is packaged with Wahlberg's other cut called "Rise n Grind". Proceeds from these purchases go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and their continued fight against breast cancer. Ed O'Neill returns with 'Modern Family'Okay, Ed O'Neill, we have a question for you: Why do the TV characters you play always have so much trouble with women?"Because everybody does, don't they!" said O'Neill, sparking laughter. True, but you seem to take the hit for all heterosexual males. "That's right," O'Neill said. "I just think there's a lot of comedy in there." Indeed, there's a lot of comedy in O'Neill's new series Modern Family, which debuts tonight on ABC and Citytv. O'Neill, of course, forever will be remembered as Al Bundy, the lead character in the long-running sitcom Married ... with Children. O'Neill plays a patriarch again in Modern Family, but structurally speaking, O'Neill's new clan is far more complex than the Bundys ever were. Modern Family focuses on three distinct family units: A traditional mom and dad with three kids; a same-sex couple that has just adopted a baby; and an older man married to a much younger woman, both of whom are on their second marriages. The younger woman has brought her sensitive 11-year-old son from her first marriage into the mix. As you might have guessed, O'Neill plays Jay, a.k.a., the older man. "For me, it's very funny that this guy obviously wasn't very good at his first marriage, and that was an American woman who he never could figure out," said O'Neill, 63. "Now he is with this Colombian woman, for obvious reasons when he met her. But now he's trying to figure out this woman, which is like, good luck. So he really is in over his head." Jay's hot young Colombian wife, Gloria, is played by the curvaceous Sofia Vergara -- or maybe that should be Sofia Viagra. Gloria's son Manny is played by Rico Rodriguez. "With the kid, Manny, that's a big problem, because Jay already has a gay adult son," O'Neill said. "Jay doesn't want Manny to have the same problems that maybe his son did when he was in school. He's trying to shield Manny and often makes the wrong call, says the wrong things, because he's not really good at being a father. "Jay is trying, but obviously he's not going to win any fatherhood awards." Hey, neither did Al Bundy, and that show ran for more than a decade. When O'Neill referred to Jay already having a gay adult son, that actually is the hook to Modern Family: Those three distinct family units we mentioned previously are connected and form an extended family. ABC initially asked critics not to reveal that part when the Modern Family pilot was screened last June, but the network subsequently changed its strategy, going so far as to confirm the wider clan in public promo clips for the show. The thinking, we imagine, was that the acknowledgement of a wider connection makes the ensemble show more attractive and easy to wrap your brain around heading into it. By the way, O'Neill said he still catches Married ... with Children reruns on TV from time to time. "I channel-surf like most people," O'Neill said. "I have my favourite episodes. If it's one I like, I'll watch it. I don't watch them all." O'Neill's daughter on Married ... with Children was played by Christina Applegate, who until earlier this year had a sitcom on ABC, too. "Of course, I called Christina to congratulate her that I'd be on the same network," O'Neill said. "And then they cancelled her show." Well, hopefully the funny and edgy Modern Family will stick around a little longer than Samantha Who? did. Finally, ABC gives us a 'Modern Family' we can relate toIt's about time.After years in the comedy wilderness, much of it spent in a futile attempt to clone NBC's snarkier, more ironic sitcom style, ABC is finally returning to its family roots — and in gloriously funny fashion. You get The Middle next week and Cougar Town later tonight, both terrific sitcoms. But the best of the bunch, and the best new series of the fall, comes first. Modern Family, created by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, smartly updates ABC's Home Improvement/Roseanne tradition for a new TV generation. True, the shooting style borrows the faux-documentary approach made popular by a rival, The Office. But the down-to-earth tone of this good-natured comedy, and its bighearted embrace of its characters, harks back to ABC and Disney at their comedy peak. Times, however, have changed, and families have changed with them. The show does pivot on a sitcom-familiar home mix, a mom and dad (Julie Bowen and Ty Burell) who take a comedically different approach to raising their two kids. But Mom has an extended family, and they're the "modern" part of the title: Her father (Ed O'Neill) has just married a hot young single mother from Colombia (Sofia Vergara), and her brother (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and his partner (Eric Stonestreet) have just adopted a Vietnamese baby girl. That gives Modern Family a lot of territory to cover, but it also gives it a lot of room in which to play — and tonight's pilot takes full advantage of that gift. Each family member is treated with respect, but each is also tweaked and given some funny business to play, from O'Neill's sitcom-pro chagrin at his stepson's romantic notions, to Bowen and Burell's method of dealing with a misused BB gun, to Ferguson's flustered reactions to Stonestreet's flamboyance. Like the best sitcoms, Modern Family also varies its comic approach. There are moments of wry observational humor any family will recognize. (When the sister offers to "explain" their father's comment, her brother says: "That's not what Dad's saying. That's what you're saying, and it's insulting in a whole different way.") But there are also outsized moments that are laugh-out-loud funny without violating the laws of possibility. Mockumentaries can quickly become cold and distancing, and that's a pitfall Modern Family will have to work to avoid. But if it can fulfill its promise, it could just be the show ABC needs to spark a sitcom renaissance. Time will provide the answer. But let's hope that answer is yes.
