Okay now then I didnt pay the $350US for 5* meet and greets, just the £51 (I think I looked at a scalper site and it mentioned it was about £250!) to sit in BK 101 at the Sheffield Arena, but as of the other night in Cleveland, OH they BANNED personal cameras from these pre-show get togethers. According to the gossip mill from nkotbfans.com & nkotb.com some ladies (I use this term lightly) were getting pushy with the amount of pictures & ‘face time’ they had with the boys leaving others out to dry. Theres also the issue of ILAA overselling these passes (some girls have reported they were left waiting outside of the meet and greet area due to overcrowding) which is also causing some disgruntlement. You would have thought when the tour started someone would have agreed as to how many passes would be sold at a premium price and how many people could be in the area at any one time. Especially considering one of the reasons why the boys stopped being together was the stretch on their own personal space and time.. I wonder if we’ve all been told one thing and another has happened??

Im curious to know who exactly owns iloveallaccess.com as the site store is owned by musictoday, who is partially owned by Dave Matthews (Band) manager Coran Capshaw – a world famous cunt, er notorious for pissing off fans. Why they getting away with this? Why are they promising goods not being delivered? I know in the terms and conditions they did state NO Cameras and theyve been lenient, but why punish the masses for the few obnoxious and out of control ones? :(

I dont think its fair to say NO CAMERAS AT ALL. When I read that I could be allowed backstage to meet a childhood hero/crush and waited at least 18 years for this moment, I would expect to be able to capture it as I wanted it be done. Especially at the price tag this moment is being sold at. I do know theres a ‘professional’ photographer there to capture a group of people all at once, but apparently these photos aren’t very good and many people have stated they were disappointed with the quality of the photos. I know its not easy to pose 10 excited women at once, but at least TRY.

I dont know where else to go with this rant. If anyone has picked the few things up I’ve posted, let me know what you think

Well, this is a shocker.. Rolling Stone seeming to ENJOY having the five bad brothers around? I am in SHOCK.

Now here in the Rolling Stone office: New Kids on the Block!! Everyone’s here: Donnie, Jordan, Danny, Joey, and the other guy! Like, OMG, best ever, right!!

We’re turning to our correspondent who will live blog the event here in the RS offices:

12:10 PM: NKOTB arrives here in the RS conference room. Several female staffers mob the guys and pull off Donnie’s baseball cap, revealing a…pet rat named Barnaby

12:20 PM: Joey says his three favorite things are cars, pasta, and long, slow kisses. Two girls faint.

12:28 PM: Donnie says he’s just looking to settle down and raise a family with a woman who can be “sweet to my mother.” Five girls faint.

12:31 PM: Jordan rescues a kitten that has been lodged in a heating vent above the conference room. Nine girls faint.

12:35 PM: A bored Danny bench presses the entire staff of US Weekly. Men’s Journal offers him a cover on the spot.

12:45 PM: Donnie reveals that on their next record, NKOTB will be working with Jon Brion and Brian Eno.

12:47 PM: Donnie says he was lying.

12:49 PM: Joey is asked what his desert island album would be. He says it would be an album of songs written by an 8-year-old girl who passed away just after recording the record. Fourteen girls faint.

12:52 PM: Danny punches someone in the head for a laugh. That girl faints.

12:54 PM: Joey says he was just kidding about the dead 8-year-old girl’s album. He’d just bring The Chronic by Dr. Dre.

12:56 PM: Jordan adopts a puppy.

12:58 PM: A girl gives Donnie a wreath she made out of her hair and dried tears. Donnie says, “I already got too many of these.”

12:59 PM: Jordan’s puppy gives birth to puppies. Twenty girls faint.

1 PM: The boys leave with a medley of “Hangin’ Tough,” “Step by Step,” and a cover of Dylan’s “Isis.”
