OMOTB?

nkotb

The New Kids on the Block are the original modern boy band. The pretty puppets from New England did it first and they did it best. And now, according to rumors, they might be doing it again.

Despite being a little too old for the site, former Kid Danny Wood (in mustard above) has hinted on his MySpace page that a NKOTB reunion is not impossible.

"I loved being a part of the group, and have always thought 'maybe someday we'll get back together' — you just never know when your someday will come.

"I can guarantee all the fans that if this reunion were to happen, they would hear about it first on www.NKOTB.com."

But is there still an audience for New Kids on the Block? This commenter on Us' site seemed excited about a reunification: "Please come back New Kids On The Block, that way I'll finally have the courage to KILL MYSELF!!!"

Of course, one can't be sure Wood's talk isn't more promotion for a flagging Web site than actual entertainment news, but, as with anything in Hollywood, time and money could probably make a New Kids reunion possible. We think enough of the former has passed. Now someone needs to come forward with a lot of the latter before the rest of the former runs out.
