Rumors Of A New Kids On The Block Reunion May Not Be The Right Stuff

Hold on to your Hypercolor jam shorts: Despite a redesigned Web site and a People item touting their impending comeback, that story about the New Kids On The Block getting back together may not be true, according to a MySpace bulletin from Danny Wood:

Hello to everyone. Hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the New Year. I wanted to address the rumors of the NKOTB Reunion Tour. There has been no talk of this and you are getting it from source directly. Never say never, and you can’t believe everything you read. On another note my solo record will be released in Australia in March. There are a few new songs on it and I hope you guys will check it out. Thank you so much for your continued support. Dwood

According to a Dlisted reader, the announcement that the band is making next month involves a reality show looking for a “new” NKOTB–much like the Menudo show that aired on MTV last year. Because surely, the kids will love to buy records by a band with the same name as their mothers’ favorite group from their teenage years. And the worst part? If the nu-NKOTB show somehow doesn’t flop, we’re going to be confronted with Hey, Hey! The Search For The New New Monkees sometime around the spring of 2009.
