Above you see Donnie Wahlberg, New Kids On The Block member and veteran of countless network television cop shows, giving the ol' "don't speak" to an adoring fan who approached him at his second 40th birthday party. Second, you ask? Yeah, well, Donnie might actually be 41, but he had such a good time turning 40 that he decided to do it all over again. And judging by these pics, you can see why.

It all went down at Mohegan Sun, in Connecticut, and by the looks of things, Donnie Wahlberg turns 40 twice the way most people turn 21 once. Looking at some of these party shots I feel the need to invoke and somewhat paraphrase the amazing Matthew McConaughey line from "Dazed And Confused." Donnie Wahlberg keeps getting older, but the girls stay the same age.

While it was Wahlberg's night, he made sure his adoring fans went home with a little something as well, passing out Pop-Tarts with various images of him from over the course of his career emblazoned on them, to all his fans.

Check out pics of the New Kid-flavored Pop-Tarts as well as the "pop tarts" who attended Wahlberg's bash, all below.

In the fourth and final segment of Buzzworthy's exclusive interview with Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight, Donnie gets really real about the reasons the New Kids on the Block (finally!) made their big comeback, and then shares his own unique version of American history; cut him slack! He's been touring his ass off and probably very busy signing all those New Kids' fan boobies!

Watch it below, and catch up on part 1, part 2 and part 3.

Also, that unwrapping sound you hear in the background is Joe McIntyre making a sandwich. Yums!

For vocab-nerd reasons, I love that Donnie says "hearkens" in part 3 of Buzzworthy's New Kids on the Block interview.

But even better is Jordan Knight's reference to "yumilicious," "mumilicious" fans and the hand gesture he uses to illustrate invisible pheromones wafting their way into Donnie's nasal passages. You can decide for yourself how to feel about bloody, tatted-up boobies.

Check out part 3 of Buzzworthy's New Kids on the Block four-part interview (part 4's coming tomorrow!), watch Donnie and Jordan discuss life on the road in part 2, and watch part 1 to see Donnie and Jordan reveal their favorite shows of the New Kids' comeback tour.

Yesterday, Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight ranked the top five shows of their New Kids on the Block comeback tour.

In part 2 of Buzzworthy's exclusive New Kids on the Block dressing room interview, Donnie and Jordan discuss the realities of life on the road and talk touring today and how it differs from their back-in-the-day tours.

Watch it below, watch part 1 here, read my review of last Monday night's Madison Square Garden show, and peek inside the New Kids’ New York dressing room!

You waited 15 years for New Kids on the Block's big comeback. Far be it from me to make you wait another minute for part one of Buzzworthy's exclusive interview with Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight, whom I met up with in their dressing room just hours before their New York City show last Monday.

Watch part one below to see Donnie rank his top five shows of the tour thus far (spoiler: Boston ruled!), plus read my epic review of that night's Madison Square Garden concert, and peep photos of the New Kids' dressing room, extensive hat collection, and more. Oh, and by the way, I got an email from a New Kids fan who told me she gave Donnie the Detroit Tigers hat in that photo -- see! They hold onto your stuff!

Stay tuned for more from Buzzworthy's exclusive interview with Donnie and Jordan, coming soon!

I JUST got back from one of the most enviable spots in all of New York. No, not the set of Gossip Girl. I was just backstage at Madison Square Garden (which brought back major mems from my time spent back there with the Jonas Brothers -- I half expected to see Kevin Jonas zoom by on a Segway), where I interviewed Donnie Wahlberg and Jordan Knight, of past and present New Kids on the Block fame, IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM, surrounded by their button-down shirts, tube socks, other wardrobe staples, and cough drops. I EVEN SAW THE PASSWORD TO THEIR WIRELESS INTERNET! ZOMGZ!

But first, let me back up and provide you, the die-hard New Kids/ NKOTB/ The Block fan with a few more selections from the scene.

Highlights of this opportunity of a lifetime included:
+ Jordan jumping on a couch, laying down, and jokingly declaring it was time for a nap.

+ ... At which point Joey then jumped on top of him.

+ Joey expressing shock when he found out TRL was canceled (we're sad too!) and declaring that they should've had him host.

+ A brief discussion between Jordan, Donnie, Joe and myself about the rise and fall of the music video. I told them that between "Thriller" and "Hangin' Tough," videos pretty much peaked. LOLs ensued, and I about died from making New Kids LOL!

+ Jordan asking me where catering was. BECAUSE WE'RE SUPERHARDCORE FRIENDS NOW! I got back to work and saw that he'd Facebooked me... Okay, we're neither superhardcore besties nor Facebook friends (relax, he didn't Facebook me, so break yourself!), but Jordan and Donnie were extremely down-to-earth, and they were unbelievably grounded, friendly, and we talked just like a few friends having a beer. Except now I'm legally of drinking age, and 12-year-old me wasn't, and 12-year-old me would NOT have been capable of carrying on any sort of conversation with, like, Jordan Knight's fourth cousin or anyone that proximate to New Kids on the Block, let alone the guys themselves. But talking to Donnie and Jordan was totally not stuffy or pretentious or showbizzy at all. YAY, NKOTB/ New Kids/ The Block, et al.

Ok, so, I'll post the interview later this week (there are a few uh-oh dirty wordies that got through -- shame on you, Donnie! -- so we've gotta magically remove those), so instead, check out these wardrobe photos we snapped while we were waiting for Donnie and Jordan.

Talk to you soon -- I've got a New Kids concert to see! No shame in this girl's game!
