[ DONNIE ] “New kid on the block” Donnie Wahlberg makes a visit to Bentley

Leave a comment

“All I ever wanted was a few pats on the back from the kids in the neighborhood,” said Donnie Wahlberg, the 42-year-old singer, actor and film producer originally from Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Wahlberg spoke at a Bentley Executive Club (BEC) event last Wednesday night in LaCava’s Executive Dining Room. The event was moderated by Joseph Shaker, a member of BEC’s board of directors and personal friend of Wahlberg. The topic of discussion was “The Business of Entertainment” (officially, anyway). The actor spoke about a wide array of things outside of this topic, such as his early childhood, the founding of his band New Kids on the Block and his development over the years as a performer.

The event, which began at 6 p.m. with cocktails and dinner, featured various films and clips of Wahlberg’s career. The films were produced by Bentley seniors David Entin, James Ferguson and Lily Ann Montemayor, along with junior Nick Vasiliadis.

Joey McIntyre, New Kids on the Block, NKOTBSB

[ NKOTBSB ] ‘Their American success won’t last’ say US boy bands Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block

Leave a comment

While One Direction and The Wanted take the States by storm hitting the top of the American charts boy band pros, Backstreet Boys’ Howie Dorough and New Kids on the Block’s Joey McIntyre don’t reckon our British boys are going to last long across the pond.

Joey said: “The odds are against both One Direction and The Wanted — neither of them are going to work in America – it hasn’t happened in 50 years so why now?” (We hope he’s proved wrong!)

Howard, whose group is gearing up for a joint tour with NKOTB, was a little softer with his opinions and believes luck plays the largest part in an act’s success.

He told us: “I’m not one to tell anyone what to do how to make their career happen, the hardest places to crack are the UK and USA.

“And for success to happen a lot of things need to go right. It was a lot of right time right place for Backstreet Boys.

“FINALLY! I have some exciting book updates. Starting with the official release date: October 2, 2012. The title is New Kids on the Block: The Story of Five Brothers and a Million Sisters. And last but not least, Simon & Schuster has decided to publish this in hardcover (instead of originally planned paperback). Will be $25.

Releases haven’t gone out as we’re still editing. So if you haven’t received one yet, don’t fret. Doesn’t mean anything.

For those of you asking about non-US versions, I don’t have an answer to that at this point as foreign editions happen a bit later. However, it *will* be available through Amazon and other online outlets.”
