New Kids On The Block Stage Comeback

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.

Yeah, baby!!! I read about this today! Even though I kind of hope it's not true for Donnie Wahlberg because he's actually a pretty decent actor doing pretty decent stuff (The Sixth Sense, Boomtown). My favorite was Joey (I'm sure you remember that) and I just read in People that he just had a baby. And I felt old. But then I remembered that I've had a baby too and I felt O.K. again.

of course I remember it was Jeoy - we both were Joey fanatics and used to fight over him! LOL I'm just curious to see what the boy band will produce seeing that they aren't boyz anymore!!!

You feel old cause you have a baby - hell , I feel BEHIND cause everyone I know has a baby!
