A New (Kids) day on "Today"

Just months after their record-breaking concert on the "Today" show, the New Kids On The Block are returning to Rockefeller Plaza!

That's right: Jon, Donnie, Jordan, Joe and Danny (seen here in their soggy May 16th "Today" appearance) will return to the show's stage on Labor Day, but they won't be alone.

No, for this Sept. 1st concert, the New Kids will bring along R&B singer Ne-Yo, with whom they've collaborated for their latest single, ironically enough titled "Single," part of which you can listen to by clicking here.

The New Kids' first studio album since 1994, entitled "The Block," will come out the next day (that's Sept. 2nd), but the good news doesn't end there.

Both "Single" and a new New Kids "Greatest Hits" CD (seen here at left) will be released on Aug. 12th both to online retailers like iTunes and Amazon.com, and in a store near me! And, there's just over a month 'til the guys' tour kicks off in Toronto.

As you can guess, I've already got my tickets for two of the guys' concert stops (with a possible third on the way), making their Labor Day "Today" gig an opening act, of sorts.
