I believe this loosely fits in the "music" category...

New Kids Are Back

At last, New Kids on the Block are getting back together. A person involved in planning the long-rumored reunion told us yesterday that the mega-selling boy band will make their comeback official with an announcement Friday on the "Today" show. According to our source, all five original New Kids - Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, and Jordan and Jonathan Knight - have committed to the reunion, which comes on the 20th anniversary of the Boston band's biggest-selling LP, "Hangin' Tough." A tour is planned, the details of which will be announced soon on the group's newly redesigned website nkotb.com. Before breaking up in 1994, NKOTB was a worldwide phenomenon, selling more than 50 million albums. The band members, now all in their mid- to late-30s, have hardly been idle since. McIntyre continues to record, tour, and dance - he was on "Dancing With the Stars" - Wahlberg has appeared in several films; Jonathan Knight is a developer in the Boston area; Jordan Knight still records and made a regrettable appearance on "The Surreal life"; and Wood is a music producer.

Just because Windows Vista was taken off the market yesterday...

Following months of speculation surrounding a rumored Spice Girls-esque reunion tour, '80s boy band New Kids On The Block has released its first group photo in 15 years, exclusively on Yahoo!

Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, and Danny Wood disbanded New Kids On The Block in 1994, and have since experienced varying degrees of success in film, music, and reality TV. Until this week, they have coyly denied that an NKTOB reunion was defintiely in the works.

Although no longer "kids," per se (the youngest member, McIntyre, is now 35), they are expected to make their official New Kids reunion tour announcement this Friday, April 4, on NBC's The Today Show.

To my eyes they look odd in that photo. Shiny, like a waxwork model or something!

Almost as if they'd had some kind of facial surgery - with plastic of some sort.
