Idolator
Joey McIntyre is 35-years-old! I remember when that guy's prepubescent mug was living on my little sister's bedroom door. I remember when he announced the dropping of his nuts by moaning "I can give you more" on "Step By Step." Now he's 35, and trying to relive his pubescent glory. In anticipation of the New Kids' upcoming Today performance, the admittedly-decent looking band has released a photo exclusively to Yahoo, hopefully in exchange for some banner ads. Try not to shriek at your computer, ladies!
They're claiming this is the first group photo fifteen years, but I'm not sure I agree with their math. The band released their last album, Face The Music in January 1994, and followed its release with a tour before disbanding that June. And if somebody took a photo of the boys in the that time, then it has only been fourteen years since we've seen them united. Here's the video for "Dirty Dawg," the first single from Face The Music. Banned by MuchMusic in Canada for its suggestions of violence and misogyny! Guest raps from Nice & Smooth! Hopefully the boys will pick up where they left off and bring us some new jack swaaang.

New kids reunion... *faints*
You had to go and bring up Dirty Dawg eh?
I can't imagine this will be as successful as Take That's comeback was in the UK, but maybe they can still get Perfect Gentlemen to open for them:

Also, do you have any insight on whether Biscuit will or will not in fact be in the house?
I saw NKOTB open for Tiffany at Six Flags over Georgia.
They have held up really well... unlike some of the groups before and after them.
I saw Tiffany open for NKOTB in Columbus, GA.
+1 on Danny Wood ending up near the top of the new lineup, since I think I'm safe in marking him near the bottom of the original lineup.
This video looks just like the one they made when they tried to shorten their name to "NKOTB." I saw them twice at the Omni in Georgia and I met Donnie Wahlberg. I was in fourth grade. He kissed me on the top of my head and my parents had a hard time getting me to wash my hair afterwards. Oh god.... did I just lose all of my since-borrowed cred?
@Thierry: Thank G*d I'm not the only one that remembers that! Nothing like random family members, employees and others trying to get their own 15 minutes of fame, borrowed from yours!
@Lucas Jensen: And I almost saw Tiffany open for NKOTB at Six Flags in Missouri. (Didn't want to wait in the 300,000,000 person queue to do it, though.)
And they do look good - apparently settling into "real life" didn't damage them too badly.
Just reading "Nice & Smooth" gave me my biggest laugh of the day.
@scarletvirtue: I'm willing to bet you will spend the rest of your day humming "all right now, baby, it's all right now - BISCUIT'S IN THE HOUSE!!!"

I saw NKOTB 9 times in concert between the ages of 13 and 15 - the highlight being when I was in the front row of the Oakland Coliseum Arena in 1990 during the Magic Summer Tour and I caught Donnie's t-shirt. Then we checked into their hotel and spent the day poolside with Jordan Knight. I wanted them to do something dirty to me, though I wasn't exactly sure what that was. Ah, memories!
@Thierry: unfortunately - even though it had already wormed its way into my head a few days ago. Even the tried-and-true cure for earworms ("Star Spangled Banner" or "Battle Hymn of the Republic") didn't work!
God, Jon Knight is still so hot.
@Maura Johnston: I still prefer Donnie. I like bad boys.
