DONNIE WAHLBERG from New Kids On The Block went to the band’s blog to set the record straight regarding the rumours flying about the internet that the reunited boy banders were in secret negotiations to work with Madonna and MJ on their forthcoming album.

Donnie was quoted as saying:

“It’s very exciting. It’s one big party and everyone wants to join us.”

He clarified his comment by insisting the quote was made up, when he posted the following comment on the band’s blog:

“We are not recording with Michael Jackson and/or Madonna. We never claimed to be, either. Good fun reading about it though!”

It was too good to be true! *cries*
