Star! Gives New Kids On The Block Fans “The Right Stuff” In An Exclusive Lainey Interview and eTalk Special, June 20 Programming Highlights / Star! Posted by RAD on Jun 20, 2008 - 04:10 AM Sold out stadiums, legions of fans, and 70-million albums sold worldwide – New Kids On The Block walked away from it all when they called it quits in 1994. Staging one of the most anticipated band reunions ever, the New Kids are back to prove that they still have “The Right Stuff.” Only days ago, eTalk’s Lainey met with the boy band phenom in Toronto for a dream interview and the chemistry was electric! Fans can join Lainey backstage where she gets the latest scoop – plus a flirty invite to join the upcoming tour! – by watching the half-hour exclusive eTalk Special: New Kids On The Block, airing Friday, June 20 at 9 p.m. ET exclusively on Star! – Canada’s Entertainment Channel. (Encore presentations: Saturday, June 21 at 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 22 at 9:30 p.m. on Star!). Reuniting just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their multi-platinum album “Hangin’ Tough,” Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, and Danny Wood, get set to share the stage when they kick off their world tour in Toronto this September. In eTalk Special: New Kids On The Block, eTalk reporter and gossip maven Lainey sits down with the gold standard of the 1990s boy band, uncovering the turmoil of their split, and charting the road to their big comeback. Giggling and flirtation spices up an often hilarious heart-to-heart, where the now 30-somethings share their thoughts on being back in the studio together for the first time after more than a decade. Lainey digs deep, discovering how they feel about reprising New Kids as they approach 40, and their delight at the surprising crush of a loyal fan base who are still here after years of obscurity from the pop music scene. The massive, ridiculous fame they walked away from looms on the horizon as the New Kids prepare to go on world tour. No one but Lainey gets the goods on how they feel about re-opening the door to millions of swooning fans, now that most of the New Kids are married with families.
