Cruising Tips from New Kids on the Block
Originally posted 05/18/2009 01:00PM
When the New Kids on the Block boarded a ship for the Bahamas on Friday, they were joined by 2,000 excited fans for a three-night cruise. "I don't know what we were thinking," jokes Donnie Wahlberg. "We have nowhere to run if it gets out of hand."
Sitting on the Promenade Deck before the ship departed from Miami, all five New Kids – Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood and Donnie – shared their aquatic rules with PEOPLE.
Manscaping Is a Must
There's nothing wrong with a bit of personal grooming. While four of the New Kids said they prefer to be natural, Danny Wood admits to a bit of shaving and tweezing. "Yeah, I manscape," he says. "You've got to look good in a swimsuit. I live down here and I'm always at the beach, so it's kind of a must for me."

NKOTB's Danny Wood: 'Opening Night Was Amazing'

The wait is over.
The New Kids on the Block hit the stage at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Thursday night for their first show in over 14 years – and Danny Wood says it felt good.
"Opening night of the tour was beyond anything I can describe," Wood tells PEOPLE. "If there is anything that can surpass living a dream, it is right now. NKOTB!"
The screaming fans at the sold-out show sure seemed to agree that the Kids still have the right stuff.
During one memorable moment, a fan threw her bra at Joey McIntyre. Stunned, McIntyre threw it back to her from the stage.

Donnie Wahlberg Gives a Peek at Making NKOTB's New Album
Originally posted 09/02/2008 11:00AM
Ever wonder what it’s like to spend a night with Donnie Wahlberg? Here’s an inside peek at an all-night New Kids on the Block recording session as Donnie and the guys work on two tracks – "Big Girl Now" and "2 in the morning" – off their new album, The Block, to be released Tuesday. Two things that are made clear in the video: A) Donnie can’t detach himself from his BlackBerry and B) The guys loved being back in the studio to record their first album in 14 years. Though Donnie called that particular night “a beast,” he later credits his fellow bandmates for making it "a fun night. It worked out incredible." You be the judge.

The band will release The Block on Sept. 2 – and the guys have previewed two singles from the disc. The first, "Summertime," debuted in June – the perfect synth-pop, summer anthem.
Earlier this week, the NKOTB unveiled their second single, appropriately called "Single," which features guest vocals by Ne-Yo. Also on the CD: guest spots from New Edition (they collaborate on "Full Service") and the Pussycat Dolls, who appear on "Grown Man."
