Opening Night at the Garden

SOURCE

By Tim Weisberg | Published: October 28, 2009

Just wrapped up writing the “At the Garden” column that will appear in tomorrow’s edition of The Standard-Times, and wanted to pass along a few observations from TD Garden in the Celtics’ season-opening win over the Charlotte Bobcats.

–There were stretches of this game where it was clear the Celtics were a little tired after last night’s win in Cleveland, but they certainly powered through it and led by a blowout margin throughout the second half. The minutes were pretty well dispersed through the nine-man rotation, and even second-year guard J.R. Giddens got some burn–including a few minutes in the first half.

–Shelden Williams was an unheralded pickup, probably due to the fact that he hasn’t live up to his first-round draft status. But for the second night, he gave the Celtics a solid performance off the bench, filling in for Glen Davis (if you aren’t aware of the Big Baby drama, get out from under your rock). With four minutes left in the game, Williams had put up an impressive eight rebounds and three assists, and he still doesn’t look comfortable out there yet.

–Opening Night always brings out the stars, but it was a New Kids kind of night. Donnie Wahlberg was seated in his usual courtside seat, and good friend and bandmate Danny Wood sat next to him and was honored as the night’s “Hero Among Us” by the Celtics for the foundation he created in honor of his mother, who passed away from cancer a few years ago.

–I don’t know why, but I’m just not as engaged by the new “Lucky” as I was with his predecessor. I still think it’s weird that the Celtics have a mascot that actually has a human face instead of a big, furry animal one, but this new guy certainly seems to have the athletic ability to put on a show each time he’s on the floor.

–My favorite NBA halftime act was on hand tonight, the puppeteer known as Christopher. Normally known for his Jackson Five performances featuring four dummies tethered together with himself in the middle dressed as Michael, this time around he and his puppets were instead performing as the Village People. Christopher was dressed as the Native American, and my buddy Pat, who was in attendance at the game, texted me to say he’d feel alot better about the game if Christopher was wearing pants.

Joey McIntyre arrives on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on October 27, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" offers the King of Pop's fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning this summer in London's O2 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. Audiences will be given a privileged and private look at Jackson as he has never been seen before. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's "This Is It" captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his final show.

This Is a Hit! Michael Jackson Movie Draws Star-Studded Crowd

SOURCE

It was a star-studded evening at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles Tuesday as celebs like Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Neil Patrick Harris, Paula Abdul, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, Adam Lambert, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ashley Tisdale flocked to the premiere screening of This Is It.

Though it was speculated that none of the Jacksons would appear at the event, in attendance were all of Michael's brothers – who received a standing ovation inside the theater before the film began. None of Michael's sisters nor mother Katherine Jackson or father Joe Jackson (who actually attended the premiere in Las Vegas) were present.

"We had to be here to support my brother's work," Jermaine told PEOPLE. "They say this is it, but this is just the beginning."

Added brother Jackie: "It's a sad moment, but we have to support our family."

Also absent were Michael's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, who, Jackie said, "are wonderful. They will see a private screening of the film later."

Speaking to PEOPLE from the Las Vegas premiere, patriarch Joe Jackson said: "They are healthy, they exercise, they practice martial arts. They are fine."

Rushing to embrace Jermaine on the red carpet, Paula Abdul declared, "Tonight is a celebration. I learned so much from working with Michael and his brothers. I have nothing but love and support."

Enthusiastic Reception

Other stars like Julianne Hough, Vivica Fox, and Macy Gray and Martin Lawrence, weren't as physical, but were equally enthusiastic.

"I've known Michael since I was four," Hilton said. "He was very special friend. I love him. I'm here to support the legend."

There was intimate rehearsal footage of Michael in sparkling gold pants while displaying his signature dance moves and desire for perfection in the calculated notes of Smooth Criminal, Human Nature and Thriller. To that last song, he added a new frightening spin on the classic theatrics that had guests like Anne Heche, with son Homer, "stunned," she said.

"We want to take them places they've never been before," Michael said to his crew during a segment in the film.

"It was beautiful and touching," Joey McIntyre said after the screening. "It's great that we have proof that he didn't want to go away and that he wanted to prove to the world that he was still the king of pop."

"It's tough to watch your brother's last performance," Jermaine Jackson said.

New Kids on the Block star has big news for his female fans

SOURCE
Heather Byrd October 27, 2009

Ladies, if you’re a fan of New Kids on the Block, I’ve got some seriously exciting news.

Not only can you have the chance to meet Jordan Knight, who’s in town working on an upcoming solo project (slated for spring release), you could, just possibly, be the one lucky fan or band chosen to perform a duet with him and possibly even open for him on his solo tour. No joke, folks!

Jordan has been traveling all over the U.S. in search of amazing singers, putting the word out about the impromptu auditions via his Twitter, @JordanKnight, and now he is making a Nashville stop.

“I don’t want people to be afraid of singing, and I don’t want them to think that I am going to clown them, like on American Idol,” Jordan said. “(Idol) brings people in who can’t sing, and they do it for entertainment’s sake, and they make them look stupid. But even if you can’t sing, just sing anyhow from your heart and have fun! That’s what it’s about! I wont make you look like a fool. Let’s all be fools and have fun.”

Auditions will be 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct 28, at Hollywood Disco (1907 Division Street) and are open to female singers and their bands, ages 18 and over.

Donnies Blog....Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Hey All…

I know most of our communication lately is thru twitter…

However I also know that not everybody uses twitter and, quite frankly, sometimes the 140 character space that twitter provides just isn’t enough space to express ones self adequately.

That said…

I just wanted to take a moment and say a few things…

First and foremost I want to say thank you to all NKOTB fans! To the BH’s, the Soldiers, the “crews” and everyone!

The last two years have been so unreal and so unexpected that I sometimes wake up thinking it was all my imagination.

Yet it is real.

We are here.

And I must say…

The love and support you all have shown to each and every member of this group- both collectively and individually- is astounding.

Wether it was Jordans foot surgery or his various twitter campaigns, Danny’s work with the Komen Foundation, Jon’s singing “step 5″ or his amazing tweets, Joe’s “Let’s Get This” campaign or my own insanity at The Waffle House at 4 a.m….

You all have shown, each one us, the utmost love and support!

It never ceases to amaze me.

It is often said…

The New Kids are “great to their fans”.

And we often say in response “that is because we have the GREATEST fans”.

This has never been more true than in the downtime since The Full Service Tour ended.

(That is… IF you call it down time).

Since then… Each member has stayed in touch with many of you, through twitter etc, while at the same time taking on various individual projects.

Be it movies, solo music projects, charitable work, twitter contests, real estate projects or what have you…

Most members of The Block have been very busy and many of you all have been just as busy- standing right along side us- showing that fierce love and support that you always do.

Through it all… I want you to remember, as well as it is important that we too remember, that we are a unit.

The Block and its fans- We are a team.

Supporting each other, enjoying each other and enjoying what each other has to offer, is part of being teammates.

Myself personally…

I never really thought I would make music as a “solo” artist. Hell I’ve been off shooting a movie… And to be honest I don’t even particularly like that title attatched to my name- “solo artist”?!?!?! Strange for me.

But I must admit… I am thankful that you all allow me the freedom to act on my creative whims…

I write a song for fun…?

I send it out to you all.

You react to it…?

We all have FUN!

That is, was, and will always be my goal in the music business… FUN.

Having FUN, seeing you have fun and doing it in a way that allows us to all have fun together.

Doing everything I can to give back to you… What you give to me.

The success?

That is really just the cherry on top.

The amazing thing is-

There is so much more fun to be had.

Other members of The Block are creating and building and engaging you in their own ways…

It is going to be fun to see what they have in store for us!

And most important…

It is going to be fun to see what the world has in store and what WE have in store for the world in 2010 and 2011.

We have NOT stopped working, as a group, towards the future.

Working on ways to surprise you, entertain you, empower you and to give you as much joy as you can possibly take in!

“In the worst of times… We’ve had the best of times”.

Forgive me for quoting myself…

But that fact will never be lost on me.

We have been riding out some very tough times in this world together.

Army wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, husbands, soldiers, 9 to 5ers, single moms, brothers, widows….

You name it… We are all here together.

So blessed.

So fortunate to have something that bonds us…

That reminds us…

That no matter how tough things get…

It is always a blessing to feel free.

Music and love have that power.

Music and love are the core of who we are.

And who we will remain.

Thanks for the time.

As Always Your Man,

Donnie W.

October 18, 2009 --- My 1st Blog - Special Block Head addition - Uncle Louie

SOURCE

This week I had some time to catch up with Donnie Wahlberg and Flossy in beautiful Los Angeles, CA. I knew I wanted Uncle Louie Music Group to get in on the Blockhead action but little did I know, this New Kids on The Block (NKOTB) star had undergone a transformation from teen heart throb to adult sensation! First we linked with Joey McIntyre, who can be found on twitter @JoeyMcIntyre and now Donnie Wahlberg; are the ladies getting jealous? For those of you who aren't aware, the New Kids on The Block fanbase is extensive and they have their own name; Blockheads. Last week, Kool Rock-ski, Prince Markie Dee and I had the opportuntity to meet a few hundred of them while we hosted Rock The Block in Chicago. The event, with all proceeds to charity, was hosted by Salina of Bargas Productions, who can be found on Twitter @PeroniGrlSalina and it was a great party for a great cause. We raised lots of money for charities like LetsGetThis.org and collected hundreds of books for FirstBook.org/fatbooks which we do together with Joey Mac. If you want inside info on the invite only holiday party in Chicago hosted by yours truly, reach out to Bargas Productions and ask @PeroniGrlSalina for the goods. If you need to set up Limos, our official chi-town Limo company is running a special, ask her for details on that too!

It was a pleasure getting to meet Flossy, the CEO of Streetlight Music and Donnie’s business partner, who schooled me to D Dub’s accomplishments and long term goals and wow, I got schooled! It's a small world and I didn't realize we had some mutual friends; shouts to J-Love the Silver Glove! Back to D Dub now...Unbeknownst to me, this man has a stellar resume and my dude Donnie is a monster on the mic; my man has some serious acting chops too and whether it’s the big screen or the small one, this cat has poise! So I tried to shy away from focusing on NKOTB stuff (sorry BH's) because I wanted to see what was cracking with the Dub for 2010. I got an impromptu performance of “I Got It”, Donnie’s new Single featuring Aubrey O’Day, formerly of Danity Kane. By the way, these folks are all on Twitter so you can follow them, and us, and interact live! Here is the info: @DonnieWahlberg @AubreyOday @FlossyTheBoss and @TheFatBoys

So back to LA, where was I? This single "I Got It" is hot, I am thinking D Dub may give Jamie Foxx a run for his money! So, they mention to me that D Dub’s new track is getting over 10,000 downloads a day and I was like “word!” and he proceeds to tell me about all the money they are raising for charity; what a class act he and Flossy are and Aubrey O’Day, she’s not so bad either! You guys know how much we love good music and how much we support charity, so natuarally, we were intrigued. My sponsors would be mad if I didn't interject some love for Virgin Mobile right here so let me show some love to the Rumor2 and tell you to follow them on twitter @VirginMobileUS for some exclusive tid bits on all this as it unfolds (and free stuff too!). Sorry, I can't figure an angle to discuss Dominos Pizza but I bet you wish that @Dominos would make a D Dub dessert right? Anyway...I know, I'm shameless but those are the check writers who pay the bills!!!

If you want to download D Dub’s new single, just visit store.streetlightmusic.netwhere I have posted a link! While we are readying for Fat Boys Fest www.FatBoysFest.comD Dub is readying for his Cruise where he will set sail with thousands of his fans; both events kick off May 14th in Miami; Fat Boys Fest is at The Hard Rock Casino & Hotel. Flossy, who won’t be cruising, instead he will be hanging out at Fat Boys Fest and helping us raise money for charity, while kicking it with some great people; the celebrity invitee list is posted and updated daily at www.FatBoysFest.com.

Big shouts to my man Eric B and congratulations and all that on the new show.
Donnie will also be on AllHipHop.com's new radio show Eric B & Friends at www.GoomRadio.comto discuss his new project. You can follow Eric B and Twitter @EricBnyLA and yes, it is Eric B from @EricBandRakim the legenday one and only DJ extraordinaire.

And in case you haven’t heard, Prince Markie Dee is going to get in the ring with The Iron Sheik in the name of charity! Details for that may be found on www.OriginalFatBoys.com/fightand this event, which will be televised, just might feature a live D Dub performance! The Iron Sheik is on Twitter but don't follow him!!! @The_IronSheik

Special shouts to Frank Trigg who is training Prince Markie Dee for the fight! This UFC Legend is coming to Miami and to the NY area to do some MMA Clinics with Uncle Louie. There will be very limited tickets for this and woman and men are encouraged to come learn this great sport, for exercise, for safety, for fun and to hang with us!!! Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankTrigg and tell him we sent ya!

Thousands walk to aid cancer fight

Breast cancer awareness event raises more than $1 million

By LAUREN STANFORTH, Staff writer
First published in print: Monday, October 19, 2009

ALBANY -- It's not every day you see Vietnam veteran color guard members wearing pink camouflage hats, their black combat boots also sporting pink laces.

But when thousands of other people are adorned with pink feather boas, cowboy hats and sombreros, you have to get in the spirit.

"You can't buy these," said Rick Calordino, a member of the Troy County Council Vietnam Era Veterans, who kicked off the 14th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Washington Park Sunday along with his five fellow color guard members. Calordino, who is battling throat cancer, bought the hats online and sewed matching pink handkerchiefs himself. "No one is weird enough to sell pink dickeys," he said.

The veterans were among the 12,000 people who participated in what organizers believe is the largest memorial walk held yearly in the Capital Region. This year's breast cancer awareness walk, which is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, raised more than $1 million, with proceeds split between research, education and outreach.

"It's a great opportunity to raise awareness about the journey of a cancer patient," said Diana Martin, regional vice president of the American Cancer Society. who lost her father to brain cancer when she was 3 years old.

Pat Rushby of Halfmoon was one of the many walkers Sunday wearing pink T-shirts with the word "Survivor" emblazoned on the back.

Rushby's 7-centimeter tumor wasn't detected on a mammogram because it was deep in her chest. But her gynecologist believed something was wrong and eventually found the mass. Rushby had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, and she has now been cancer-free 14 years after her tumor was first discovered.

The retired fifth-grade teacher from Mohonasen now recruits about 40 to 60 people from the school district a year to either sponsor or walk with her.

Members of Kathy Plakas' family wore white T-shirts Sunday honoring her, two years after the 51-year-old Long Island native lost her battle with cancer. The mother of eight appeared in remission after enduring a double mastectomy. But a year later the cancer spread to her liver, and Plakas spent the next seven years battling it.

The Plakas family joined the walk only two weeks after her death, and have come back since.

"When we first walked in we thought there was a concert or something. It's amazing how many people show up," said Plakas' son, George, of Niskayuna.

Many others like the Plakases make it clear who they are representing on their clothing, whether it be a family member, friend, co-worker -- or in Tamara Webster's case, a teen idol.

Webster of Cohoes and four friends walked Sunday to honor Webster's grandmother, Joan Lambert, a breast cancer survivor. But the ladies also wanted to pay homage to their childhood musical crush, New Kids on the Block, because one of the group member's mothers had breast cancer. The New Kids fans had a name for themselves stitched on the back of their tye-dyed pink T-shirts Sunday: "Blockheads 4 Boobies."

Lauren Stanforth can be reached at 454-5697 or by e-mail at lstanforth@timesunion.com.

Twitter "Twayola" Is NKOTB's New Payola For Radio Stations!

SOURCE

by Ron Callari

Remember the days, when record companies use to slip a radio station a few extra hundred bucks to promote their favorite artist's latest record? The term, "payola" derived from that practice. Today, those pay-offs are being replaced by a new 21st century social media updated version.

Donnie Wahlberg and the New Kids on the Block put a new spin on that old formula. They alerted their fan base to accept a challenge to tweet the call letters of radio stations that would play Wahlberg's new single, "I Got it," also featuring Aubrey O'Day.



When any of the NKOTB band members send a shout-out (or tweet-out in this case) to their fans, affectionately called the "Blockheads," their fan base always rises to the occasion to do whatever bidding may be asked of them.

Back in April, I covered Jordan Knight's one-word tweet of "tink" that exploded onto the Twitterverse into a global frenzy of tens of thousands fans tweeting this word even though they had no idea what the word meant. Knight kept its meaning secret for over a week before he ran a contest for fans to determine the derivation of the word. Subsequently, "Tink before you tweet," became an inside joke for Blockheads worldwide, and t-shirts and other merchandise was sold online to support NKOTB's charity.


Fans can download the MP3 of Donnie's single which is packaged with Wahlberg's other cut called "Rise n Grind". Proceeds from these purchases go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and their continued fight against breast cancer.

Props to the NKOTB for continuing to use social media in interesting and unique ways to create excitement for theirAlice Willson fans while spreading quickfire viral buzz for the band. (And a special shout-out to one of the Blockheads' most avid fans, Ms. Alice Willson (@dwsmillionthhug) for bringing this story to my attention.

Danny Wood & Daughters Race For The Cure

SOURCE

Oct 18, 2009 by CAROLYN

New Kids on the Block star Danny Wood posed alongside his daughters Vega (left) and Chance at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Breast Cancer at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida yesterday (October 17).

The 40-year-old singer is very involved in the fight against breast cancer, starting The Betty Wood Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of his mother, who died of the disease in 1999.

Danny also has son Daniel Jr and stepson Anthony.

Donnie's new single? Yup, I got it!

SOURCE

A few months after the New Kids On The Block wrapped up their "Full Service" summer tour, one of the New Kids has satiated fans' thirst for new music.

That's 'cause Donnie Wahlberg released his new single yesterday, "I Got It," which features former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day. Toronto radio station CHUM FM world-premiered "I Got It" yesterday morning; and soon after that, Donnie tweeted his fans (like me) on how to purchase the song for download. Of course I bought it, not only 'cause it's a fun song but because some of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a foundation with which the New Kids have worked in the past.

As for the song itself (not to mention "Rise N Grind," the other single that came with "I Got It" for just $1.99), it's great to hear Donnie striking out on his own, making some super music. It's a nice way to transition into what might be a long time before the New Kids get back in the studio again.

The Wahlberg/O'Day pairing also works very well, and for me, it's a neat mixture, considering I saw both of them on the same bill last spring. At Z100's Zootopia 2008 (at which I actually met Donnie and the rest of my favorite group), the New Kids made their first actual concert appearance after Danity Kane, the product of MTV's "Making the Band 3," took the stage to perform their hit at the time, "Damaged." In the year-plus since, Aubrey (seen here with Donnie at the premiere of his film, "A Righteous Kill," last September) has left Danity Kane, while the New Kids put together a pair of successful tours — their 2008 reunion tour, followed up by "Full Service."
