New Kids on the Block star Jonathan Knight let fans ‘kidnap' him on tour
This New Kid was Kid-napped. Being on the road 360 days a year took its toll on New Kids on the Block star Jonathan Knight — so while he was on tour, he would ask fans to take him away from all the madness. 'Back in the day, I used to let fans kidnap me. I would always find somebody who was a little older who had a driver's license. You're walking through the venue or they're outside a fence and you're like, 'Hey, what are you doing? You want to take me somewhere?'' he told The Post. Advertisement 'I would jump in their car and we'd disappear. My manager used to get so mad because he was always afraid that I wouldn't get back in time.' Knight, 56, a Boston native, said he 'needed some self care to just deal' with NKOTB's tour schedule at the height of their fame in the '80s and '90s. 4 Jonathan Knight was 16 when he joined New Kids on the Block. Alamy Stock Photo Advertisement 'It was nuts. Our manager and our record company, they just pushed you. Being a young kid just not even really knowing who you are as a person, we really had no time outside of our career to figure out what life is all about. And I think that that's sad,' he said. The beloved boy band formed in 1984 and achieved superstar status in 1988 with the release of their second album 'Hangin' Tough' — and to date, have sold over 80 million records worldwide. 'You're not prepared for the level of success we had, ever. There's nobody there to coach you. It's either sink or swim and you could just become really f–ked up and do stupid things … or you could just deal with the stress and the craziness and get through,' he said. 4 New Kids on the Block formed in 1984, split in 1994 and then reunited in 2008. Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement In 2000, Knight revealed he suffered from generalized anxiety, and in 2011, he came out as gay — both of which he kept hidden during the band's first run, from 1984 to 1994. Although it would have been easier to open up about those topics now, he still doesn't wish he was a young performer in today's world. 'That's probably the only two things that would be cool, but I actually wouldn't want to be an artist nowadays,' he said. 'When we would go out to a nightclub and stumble out maybe a little tipsy or drunk, there was no TMZ or people filming and it just gets broadcast for millions of people to see.' Advertisement Knight, the oldest of his bandmates — who include his brother Jordan, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood — was the first to leave the group in 1994 when he was 25, before they officially split that same year. 'I remember going home and I was in a eight bedroom, six bathroom house that I bought and looking up and down the halls like, 'Okay, now what the hell?'' 4 NKOTB will kick off their The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency in June. Austin Hargrave The guys reunited in 2008 after a 14-year hiatus and 'it's funny that we've been back together now longer than we were in the first go-around,' Knight noted. As he preps for NKOTB's The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency, which starts on June 20, Knight looked back on the band's heyday — and all the memorabilia created for them. 'There was so much cheesy stuff … slippers and marbles and puzzles. In the moment, we were like, 'This is so stupid.' But now that I'm older, I'm like, 'It's kind of cool. There's my face on a pack of bubblegum.'' 4 Jonathan and Jordan's mom Marlene had an eBay sale of the band's memorabilia she collected. Alamy Stock Photo His mother, Marlene, collected double the amount of New Kids items since two of her sons are in the group. Advertisement 'She had so much stuff in her basement and a couple of years ago, I was like, 'Mom, just get rid of it, it's taking up too much space.' So she had a big eBay sale.' He has no idea how much she earned from it — he's just content the clutter has dissipated. 'I didn't ask. I was just happy that now when I go in her basement, I can walk around and not have to scoot by a Donnie doll or trip over a Joe doll.'

'Rock the Block' Fans Agree: This Week's Competition Was "Not Even Close"
Rock the Block is back on HGTV, and the series is a hit with viewers. The first episode was the network's highest-rated season premiere since 2023. And, needless to say, fans are invested in the designs. This week, the teams of veterans and rookies took on some of the most important spaces in the homes: the entry, den, powder bath, and mudroom. Together, these areas create the first impression for realtors and potential homeowners. Jasmine Roth and Mina Starsiak-Hawk, both season one competitors, stepped in to judge. The brothers continued their modern farmhouse design, creating a duel office space in the den and adding a dog-washing station in the mudroom. The NKOTB stars hoped that extra features like a central vacuum, wainscotting, custom built-ins, unexpected finishes would put them over the top. Mina and Jasmine liked the space but questioned the lack of artwork in the entryway, and the swan faucet in the powder room was divisive (to say the least!). Last week's winners continued their refined rustic design with a streamlined space, statement-making powder room, hidden door to office. The judges praised the overall creativity, but Jasmine was a bit hung up on the lack of "rustic" elements, and small details like the lack of door to the laundry/mudroom were criticized. The Renovation Aloha stars continued their moody modern theme. They transformed the den into an office with a Murphy bed, and added square footage by moving the powder room to the previous pantry location. Mina and Jasmine weren't sure that altering the layout was worth the effort and expense. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HGTV (@hgtv) The Down-Home Fab stars overhauled the mudroom with a washer/dryer and a drop zone for bags and groceries, plus the upgraded the den into a bedroom. New Utah resident Jasmine praised their "cowboy contemporary" hat wall and elk-themed wallpaper. But, the kicker for the judges was the addition of a shower to the powder bath. After some deliberation, Chelsea and Cole were determined to be the winners. Cole said they poured their "heart and soul into the house," and the couple will have $3,000 added to their renovation budget. Even Alison was impressed by the shower addition and said she wished she'd thought of doing that in her home. HGTV shared a clip of the renovations on Instagram, and Michel commented, "These were such great transformations! @chelseahouska and @coledeboer killed it though! Those cowboy hats were a chef's kiss!" Fans on Mina and Jasmine's Instagram posts seemed to agree, with messages like, "the rookies deserved to win! Loved the elk wallpaper 👍and that bathroom👍" and "You guys picked the right one in my opinion tonight too!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chelsea DeBoer (@chelseahouska) Chelsea's fans showered her Instagram video with praise too. One wrote, "I love that you did a whole bath there, the color was a tad darker than I like but still beautiful! This is one time I say the judges got it right!!!!!" and another said, "A Well-Deserved Win!" Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama chimed in with, "you absolutely deserved the win!! Let's go rookies!!" and Michel commented again with, "Soooooooo good! You deserved that win! 🏆" Next week, the teams will tackle the important main suites of their homes. Ray and Eilyn Jimenez (Divided By Design) will join the show to judge the designers' work.$37.99 at at at at at at You Might Also Like 67 Best Gifts for Women That'll Make Her Smile The Best Pillows for Every Type of Sleeper

Exclusive: Get a taste of the DMV's hottest new restaurants at this festival
Long-running food festival New Kitchens on the Block is back, and the preview party for upcoming DMV bars and restaurants is as exciting as ever. Why it matters: NKOTB is a rare chance to try local businesses before they open — some from star chefs (hey, Marcus Samuelsson) and others from rising talents you should know. How it works: Co-founders Al Goldberg of Mess Hall — which hosts the Saturday, April 26 event — and food writer Nevin Martell curate a dynamic lineup of forthcoming bars and restaurants for their 11th festival. Some will open soon, others are still searching for spaces. The past 60+ participants include Rose Previte with Maydan, Call Your Mother (before it was CYM), and Oyster Oyster. Guests will sample food and drinks from nearly a dozen vendors over two afternoon sessions, plus cocktails, Right Proper beers, and stuffed goodie bags for VIP ticket holders. Limited early-bird passes (starting at $99 or $139 VIP) are now available via Eventbrite. We got an exclusive sneak peek at who's coming, what they're planning and when(ish) they'll open. Marcus DC, a seafood-focused brasserie from celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson (Harlem's Red Rooster), is opening by Union Market. ETA: Spring Samuelsson, an Ethiopian-born, Swedish-American chef, has taken over three venues in The Morrow Hotel (deets coming soon). The brasserie will serve global fin fare—raw, cured, and dry-aged—plus steaks and comfort food classics. Chef Anthony Jones, a Food Network and Dirty Habit alum, will helm the kitchen. Barbouzard, a French-Mediterranean restaurant helmed by chef Cedric Maupillier (ex-Convivial), is opening near Farragut Square. ETA: Spring/Summer. The former Kellari Taverna space is getting a lively coastal med makeover with indoor and outdoor dining, a piano and DJ booth, and a Champagne lounge. Côte d'Azur-chic is matched with Maupillier's Francophile fare, high-end seafood, and in-house bread and pastry program. Electric Bull, a new-wave steakhouse by chef Victor Albisu (Taco Bamba), is opening in Vienna, VA. ETA: Summer. Albisu, a former BLT Steak chef who opened South American steakhouse Del Campo, is back to his roots with a unique 80-seat steakhouse. Expect Latin spins on raw bar and grilled apps, classic and lesser-seen cuts, lamb ribs, homemade chorizos, and the return of Albisu's signature burger and rolled skirt steak. Also: a butcher counter for meats to-go. Chai Pani, a smash-hit Indian restaurant by Meherwan Irani out of Asheville, NC, is opening near Union Market. ETA: Late summer. Look for Irani's James Beard Award-winning street foods like crispy okra fries, bhel puri chaats, "sloppy jai" sandwiches, and homestyle thali platters in Chai Pani's signature kaleidoscopic setting. Burnt Hill Farm, a destination overlooking the Appalachian Mountains from the siblings behind Old Westminster Winery and chef Tae Strain (D.C.'s Momofuku). ETA: Fall The estate vineyard in Clarksburg, MD (roughly 40 minutes outside D.C.) will host an immersive fine dining experience from Strain, who blends local ingredients and traditions with his Asian-American heritage. Marv's Dogs, a lively fast-casual from Diane Gross (Cork Wine Bar), is opening in Tenleytown. ETA: Fall Hot dogs and video games — that's one of Gross's fondest childhood memories with her late dad, Marv, which is the inspiration for this family-friendly concept. The restaurant will dish up nostalgic dogs, soft-serve and canned beer and wine, while guests can play vintage arcades in a game room below. Nhau by Moon Rabbit, a cocktail bar from chef Kevin Tien and bar director Thi Nguyen, is opening near Dupont Circle. ETA: TBA. An offshoot of the modern Vietnamese restaurant's award-winning cocktail program, Nhau will highlight Southeast Asian flavors in boldly flavored drinks and snacks. Snow Crane, a Japanese ice cream concept by former Rose's Luxury chef Takeshi Nishikawa. ETA: TBA Fine dining chops meet Japanese ice cream in Nishikawa's concept, which is currently on a pop-up circuit and will likely open near his Hyattsville home. Look for artful scoops using sweet and savory ingredients from Japan, like milk ice cream topped with Okinawa black sugar syrup.
