Joe McIntyre Launches "One Too Many at Midnight" Shows in Las Vegas in February

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre will perform every single Saturday in February at The Lounge at The Palms in Las Vegas. The bill also features Emanuel Kiriakou. Go here for tickets.

McIntyre posted the following statement about the tour, without any edits: "It's your grandfather's Vegas, which was much cooler back then. But for a while now, Vegas is back. It lives up to all the hype. There's something for everyone- especially those who wanna start their night at midnight. And that's what we are gonna do in February at The Palms. Eman and I couldn't have dreamed it up any better. We have a lot of fun, but it means a lot to be playing in Vegas at such a special venue at legitimately the coolest and hottest hotel in LV.

"The Lounge is beautiful and a real throw back to the intimate rooms that all the legends would play. And they would play late (and early in the morning) at these places. Dean, Frank, Sammy- the audiences back then got to see these greats up close and personal. Now please... understand, I'm not thinking of us as legends and we are not trying to recreate something that will never be duplicated. But there is a spirit in this town, Las Vegas, that is tapped into every night. People feel it when it's authentic. It's that thing- that bang, that boom, that somethin' somethin'. I believe we are gonna feel that spirit and we won't let you leave The Palms until you feel it too. That feeling may be the one thing that happens in Vegas that doesn't stay in Vegas."

This is the perfect prelude to NKOTBSB this summer when New Kids On The Block and The Backstreet Boys will take over the country together! Also, Joey McInTyre's "Here We Go Again" EP remains one of the coolest pop releases of the past few years, and we're still spinning it over here! Be sure to pick it up here!

Times Square Puts Another New Year's Eve Celebration in the Books

Celebrating New Year's Eve is always fun and entertaining to watch, especially when you are watching one of the biggest celebrations in the world.

CNN reports that the biggest New Year's Eve Party took place in its traditional location this year at
Times Square in New York City. Times Square

has long been one of the best places to watch the New Year's Eve celebration and countdown to each year.

This year, I watched the event in Times Square on television and definitely will not forget the performance by New Kids on the Block. I have always been a fan of New Kids on the Block, although they were not really popular when I was growing up. The guys performed a medley of their hits throughout the years and put them all into one huge song, which got everyone excited. New Kids on the Block really got involved with the crowd and it was just cool seeing them sing all of their hit songs on such a festive night. I really enjoyed how everyone was singing along with them as well, which kind of made it hard to hear the band. The crowd being into the music and singing along is definitely my favorite moment of the night. I will remember that performance because it was like I was back in the 1980s, watching them on television for the first time.

The Backstreet Boys were also one of the musical acts but as far as boy bands are concerned, New Kids on the Block performed better. I have always wanted to see them perform live but never had the opportunity except to see YouTube videos of their old shows. Last night was the first time I have seen them perform in front of such a huge crowd, and it really felt like I was a part of it.

Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block Reveal New Year's Resolutions

The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block ended 2010 on a high note with a rollicking New Year's Eve mashup of their greatest hits in Times Square. But the guys still see room for improvement in 2011.

"I want to act more like an adult," New Kid Joey McIntyre, 38, who will welcome his third child in May, told PEOPLE about his New Year's resolutions.

"Being in a rock 'n' roll and pop world, it's very easy to act like a kid. So, my resolution is to really act like an adult. It's a personal inventory that I'm trying to take."

Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, 30, and Brian Littrell, 35, will be turning over new leaves of their own. Carter's resolutions? "Not to talk so much on the phone, and no texting while driving," he says. "And I just want to stay fit."

And Littrell? "To read more books and try to make better music."

The two bands have been rubbing elbows ever since the Backstreet Boys made a surprise appearance at a NKOTB show at Radio City Music Hall last summer. Now, they have a whole North American tour planned together for summer 2011.

"We haven't really explored everything about each other. We're taking it slow and just being gentle with each other," McIntyre says jokingly. "We get along really well. These are the best group of guys. We have a lot of shared experiences, and when we get together, it's an amazing way to make a living."

Asked which New Kid is most like which Backstreet Boy, New Kid Donnie Wahlberg, 41, replied: "You'd think it's Joe and Nick who are the same and Donnie and A.J. [McLean, 32] are the tough ones. But if you are in the band, you know that every person is more than what they are perceived."

Wahlberg adds: "A.J. is not the bad boy. He's a sweetheart. And Joe's not the young one. He's wise beyond his years. There's multi layers to everyone, which makes us all different, and that makes it great."

Welcoming in the New Year, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block charged into Times Square to an ear shattering amount of screams and howls.

A New Year's Even 2011 highlight on New Year's Rockin' Eve, these two boy bands banded together again for an astrounding crowd estimated at about one million. That's nothing for these show biz veterans but perhaps the outdoor atmosphere and the meaning of the occasion ramped up the energy even more than its usual epic level.

Whatever it was, this collabation was not only highly anticipated but utterly enjoyed so much so that's it's what everyone's talking about on the social media circuit the day after even though chatter started late in the afternoon. Perhaps a fair share of hangover action on the first day of 2011 had something to do with that but the revelry was remembered.

And if not, it's not too late to take a look as the Backstreet Boys and the New Kids on the Block get together for a giant New Year's Eve 2011 highlight. Love it? Thoughts? Thanks.
