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!:

http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/mus/pr/2007/nkotb2008.jpg

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.

Or is it New Men on the Block?

They look okay I suppose. They don't seem to gel as a group anymore. I like Joey McIntyre's solo stuff but that's about it. I don't think they can emulate the classy comeback of Take That, but we'll see.

They're not really that old since they're in the same age range as some of the current A Listers like Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

From their older material, only can tolerate "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"

It would be weird if their kids were to watch the parents acting wild and be like "Huh?" or "Who are the New Kids?"

I recently heard them say that all but 1 has a child(ren)....I know for a fact that Donnie, Danny, and Joe DO, I don't know it is Jonathan or Jordan that doesn't yet.

I never liked them but they be having some decent songs back then. "I'll Be Loving You Forever", "The Right Stuff", "Please Don't Go Girl". I love those songs. I always said back then that they were the the white version of New Edition, and they were.

Both New Kids & New Edition were created by producer Maurice Starr.

I prefer New Edition better 8) "
