If you're a Jane's Addiction fan who lives within driving distance of Los Angeles, cancel your plans for tomorrow night. According to guitarist Dave Navarro's Web site, the founding members of Jane's — Navarro, frontman Perry Farrell, bassist Eric Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins — will be reuniting once again for a "secret" gig Thursday night (October 23) at La Cita Bar in downtown L.A. for what will be the original group's first full concert in more than a decade.

It's funny, usually it's pretty easy to roll with the punches when you tell someone you work for MTV News. People have jokes, sure, ("Someone on 'The Hills' broke a nail, isn't that Breaking News??" "How old IS John Norris, anyway??") but rarely does it actually sting. I mean, I'm secure in my knowledge of pop culture and music. BUT MAN, YOU NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FANS ARE EFF'IN VICIOUS.

Seriously.

No, we know that NKOTB aren't broke. They sold 18.7 gazillion albums worldwide. Yes, we think it's funny that a group of grown men are calling themselves "kids" and will be dancing to songs they sang when they were wearing parachute pants in Beantown. Yes, MTV moved on from the NKOTB and yes, we made a deal with the devil covering Justin and Britney and them in the '90s. But cut us some slack, dudes, WE WERE JUST HAVING FUN WITH Y'ALL.

Anyway, Yahoo Music has an exclusive NKOTB 2008 photo, their first new group photo in 15 years.

So...what do you think? How do they look?

Also, commenters, do you remember when NKOTB appeared on the TRL charts in 1999?

We are really showing our age today. What with that SPECTACULAR ANDY WARHOL, MR. T. AND HULK HOGAN WRESTLING CLIP (Seriously, if that's not ALL CAPS worthy, then what is?).

And now this. According to our friends at People magazine, the "Today" show, this Friday morning, will feature the reunion of the New Kids On The Block. All the original members - Joey, Donnie, Danny, Jonathan and Jordan. Oh, and it's the 20th Anniversary of their hit single, "Hangin' Tough" album, Hangin' Tough. If that's not a flimsy excuse for a reunion, I don't know what is.

You old folks: will this make you feel nostalgic for your youth?
You young folks: do you even know what I am talking about?
