Bostonist is feeling pretty wary of the media today, so we were skeptical when the Globe announced that the New Kids on the Block will be announcing their reunion tour this Friday, for real this time, no joking. We were especially doubtful considering an NKOTB reunion was Boston.com's April Fools joke a few years ago.

But no: we googled it, and it's true. We guess they talked Danny into it and coaxed Jonathan out of his Fortress of Solitude.

Can Joey still hit the high notes? How rusty will they be on the Hangin' Tough dance? And will the whole thing implode when Donnie Wahlburg has a nervous breakdown after realizing that Mark is always going to be more famous than him? Tune in to the Today Show on Friday morning to find out!
