I thought the New Kids on the Block were gone for good. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

All five original members including Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight will reunite to perform on the Today Show April 4th.

Believe it or not, it has been twenty years since the release of their album Hangin’ Tough. Ugh, it seems like yesterday.

Writing this, I already have that damn song in my head. Lord help us.

After a long hiatus from entertaining, Whitney Houston is set to perform for a charity event in May.

The recovering drug-addict diva will sing at the Caudwell Children’s Legend Ball at Battersea Evolution in London on May 8th.

Charity founder John Caudwell said, “We are thrilled to have an artist of Whitney’s caliber to headline the event. Last year was a huge success and with Whitney’s support, we are fully expecting this year’s event to be bigger and better than ever.”

Houston’s big comeback album will be released in November, and Clive Davis has confirmed that five songs are already completed.

Right on Whitney. She seemed like such a hopeless case a couple years ago. Sort of like Amy Winehouse these days. Blake is to Amy as Bobby was to Whitney.

It took years, but Whitney finally got away from that cancer of a husband and lived through the experience. She is on track to make an amazing comeback. You go girl.

That wacky, colorful and always fun band of the past is finally making a return.

The B-52’s first release in 16 years is set to hit stores on March 25th. ‘Funplex’ is the first album with the band’s new label, Astralwerks.

All band members participated in the writing for the album which was recorded in their native Athens, GA.

Guitarist Keith Strickland described the recording, “It’s loud, sexy rock and roll for your pleasure zones, with the beat pumped up to hot pink.”

Astralwerks manager Glenn Mendlinger stated, “We are thrilled to be bringing The B-52’s music to a new generation of intergalactic fans. Cindy, Fred, Kate, and Keith have made an album that is incredibly fresh, dynamic and perhaps most importantly, quintessentially The B-52’s … instantly recognizable, instantly fun.”

Here’s a first peek at Britney’s new video, ‘Gimme More’ for those who give a crap.

I can’t believe the song is doing as well as it is! The single went from #68 to #3 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in one week! Egad! The sky is falling!

‘Gimme More’ leaked online and was posted on YouTube for a short while before RCA had them removed.

*EDIT:  See the video in it’s entirety HERE!

Timbaland says he won’t work with Britney Spears ever again..unless she apologizes to him.

The big-time producer told MTV news that Britney not only blew off working with him and Justin Timberlake, she also had a monster ego to boot.

“It’ll never happen. It could’ve, but it won’t. (She is) so big-headed, and (was) like, ‘Screw you, screw you, I don’t need nobody.’”

Timbaland refused to go into detail, but says the fading pop star knows what she did to disrespect the two that were trying to resurrect her failing career.

“She should humble herself and make a phone call and say, `I’m sorry.’ She knows what she’s sorry about. She needs to say, `I was wrong,’ and it’ll definitely move forward… That’s all she has to say.”
