Joey McIntyre’s Catholic mom once called New Kids on the Block’s record company

The Right Stuff.” New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre’s mom wanted to ensure that the world-famous boy band kept it clean and wholesome.“My mother was a staunch Catholic. I mean, she actually called the record company [because] there was a little too much cleavage in one of our videos and was like, ‘Change that clip,'” McIntyre, 51, the youngest of the five band members, told The Post.McIntyre, the youngest of nine children, is thankful his late mom was so religious.“I mean, thank God, because I wouldn’t be here, right? I mean, birth control was not an option, so that’s why they had nine kids.

Jennifer Lopez hints at retiring from music: ‘This might be my last album ever’
“This Is Me… Now.”But apparently, a better title for J.Lo’s first studio LP in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — might have been “This Is It.”“The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,” Lopez, 54, told “Entertainment Tonight” as she explained the different album covers that they did especially for the JLovers — as her faithful fans are known.“It’s such the kind of quintessential kind of Jennifer Lopez J.Lo project, and I really feel very fulfilled, so they really will be collector’s items at a certain point.”After hinting at her possible retirement from the recording studio, Lopez quipped, “Don’t tell Benny [Medina, her longtime manager] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”Lopez’s ninth studio album, “This Is Me… Now,” is a sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” her third studio LP, which featured the hits “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have.”Lopez’s now-husband, Ben Affleck, was infamously featured in the “Jenny from the Block” video, and the singer dedicated “Dear Ben” to him.Similarly, “This Is Me… Now,” led by the first single, “Can’t Get Enough,” will reflect their relationship today — two years after they finally got married after calling off their first engagement in 2004.“Our relationship crumbled under the weight of the pressure,” Lopez told Variety.“We lost a sense of ourselves, and we needed to separate because we didn’t know how to survive it.

Welcome to the Rodeo-sance: Beyoncé goes country on 2 new surprise singles
Beyoncé is entering her Cowgirl Era.If you thought that Bey was just randomly rocking cowboy hats all of a sudden — from the promo pics for her “Renaissance” album and tour to merch and her Grammys look just over a week ago — then you don’t know Bey.And like the marketing queen that she is, she used the biggest audience possible — in a Super Bowl 2024 commercial for Verizon that ended with Beyoncé saying “Drop the new music” — to tease the arrival of two new surprise country singles: “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages.”On a night that was supposed to belong to another pop superstar — Super Bowl LVIII halftime show headliner Usher — once again B was causing all the conversation.(We’re sure that Usher was all good with it — after his epic extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, he reportedly went ahead and got married to his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea.)But here we are beginning what is “Act II” of the “Renaissance” rollout, which began with “Act I” — a house-music manifesto led by her No. 1 hit “Break My Soul” — in 2022.But judging by “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages,” Beyoncé is now taking us from the clubs to the country on “Act II,” which, thankfully — no surprises here — we know is due March 29.Welcome to the Rodeo-sance.It shouldn’t be a complete shock that the all-time Grammy winner can actually do country music.

He’s bringing sensitive back: Justin Timberlake makes a smooth comeback with new single ‘Selfish’
“Selfish” — which dropped Thursday morning — finds the pop superstar getting in his falsetto feels over a smooth midtempo groove.“So if I get jealous, I can’t help it/I want every bit of you, I guess I’m selfish,” he sweetly croons in the chorus that proves that, even at 42, he still possesses some of that same boy-band charm that made us fall in love with him when he was a curly-haired teen heartthrob.Indeed, after Timberlake reunited with ’N Sync last fall for the “Trolls Band Together” bop “Better Place,” “Selfish” takes him back to the swoon-worthy sincerity of his boy-band days — long before he fell victim to cancel culture for his purported misdeeds with Janet Jackson (after their 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance) and ex Britney Spears.But while the song recaptures a kind of lost innocence, it also has some muted, moody beats — think Drake — and a hint of melancholy from an older soul.“Selfish” — which reteams Timberlake with longtime producer Timbaland, while bringing in new collaborators Louis Bell (Taylor Swift, Post Malone) and Cirkut (Maroon 5, The Weeknd) — is the first single from the singer’s upcoming sixth studio album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” due March 15.Timberlake also dropped the “Selfish” video, and like the song, it’s a more subtle, subdued affair than, say, “Filthy,” from his last LP, 2018’s “Man of the Woods.”It’s just Justin singing and vibing behind the scenes, proudly rocking the grays in his beard now.The clip — directed by Bradley J.
