New Gay on the Block

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

New Kid on the Block, Jonathan Knight, is here, he’s queer and he’s been used to it. His former girlfriend, Tiffany (the Britney Spears of her day) was thought to out him last week on Bravo‘s Watch What Happens Live when host Andy Cohen asked her if she’d ever been around the block with one of the New Kids: ”The quiet one, the shy one. [He] became gay later. I didn’t do it. I had issues with that. I was thinking maybe I did. Now looking back when we were dating, he was so much fun. We used to do facials together. He was so easy to talk to.” Sure, you do a few facials with your girlfriend and suddenly you’re a gay. Geez, stereotypes.

The Old Men on the Block

Edited by Zmaji Robinson

The boy bands are coming, the boy bands are coming………and boy are they old *ZING*. I keed. No but seriously, it’s an epidemic of ginormous proportions. New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys & New Edition are all back on the scene, I wonder if that residual income on songs sang has run out and it was either do another CD or the graveyard shift at Mickey Dumps. The overwhelming fear of my heart is pre-middle aged men traveling in groups of 5, dressed in the same color scheme, Jesus take the wheel. I don’t even know how New Kids were able to get Jonathan back on stage. Remember a few years ago when he was on Montell boo-hoo’n about stage fright and crowds of people, agoraphobia. I guess the possibility of makin’ more cash killed that. How do you feel about grown, really grown, men doin’ pop music, dancin’ around, looking matchy matchy? I know that’s my phobia!
