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?

Chris Young arrested — charged with resisting arrest, assaulting an officer at Nashville bar
dawg house.The country singer-songwriter was arrested at a Nashville bar Monday night and charged with disorderly conduct, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.Young stopped off at the Tin Roof bar in midtown Nashville at the same time agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission were checking IDs and licenses, according to TMZ.Young, 38, allegedly started peppering the agents with questions after they checked his ID — and things got out of control from there.Officials say he recorded them and then followed them to an adjacent bar called the Dawg House, where TABC officials were conducting a routine compliance check, according to the report.When Young was at the Dawg House, he allegedly started to talk to people at the bar and to the bartender while the TABC agents went into the back of the joint to check ABC (Restricted Brewery License) cards.The agents claim that they were walking toward the door when Young blocked their exit and put his hands on one of the agents to stop them from leaving — and then he allegedly struck the agent on the shoulder.According to the officials, they pushed Young away, which caused some bar patrons to get between Young and the TABC agents — causing a lot of yelling, screaming and commotion.Young then followed the agents out of the Dawg House, according to TMZ, and the situation became “hostile.”Officials said Young’s eyes were “bloodshot and watery” and that his speech was slurred.He was arrested and booked on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer.Young, who posted $2,500 bond, was released from custody Tuesday morning.He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb.

Rock on, Dolly! Parton gifts us with new music on her 78th birthday
Dolly Parton to give us gifts on her birthday?And if hearing the country queen rock out to “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Heart of Glass” and “Let It Be” — with help from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Debbie Harry and freaking Paul McCartney, respectively — on her “Rockstar” album released last November wasn’t enough, well, here’s more Dolly for your headbanging pleasure.“It’s my Birthday so I’m going to give you a present!” Parton announced on Instagram.“I’m releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album.“I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you all have a happy birthday for me! LOL”And of course, the ever-gracious goddess signed it off with, “Thanks for everything, Dolly,” along with a rhinestone heart.The four previously unreleased tracks include Parton’s covers of the 1983 Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” the 1974 Billy Joel gem “The Entertainer” and the 1970 Simon & Garfunkel classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”There’s also “Stay Out of My Bedroom,” a new version of the song that Parton previously released for the soundtrack of her 1984 film “Rhinestone” co-starring Sylvester Stallone.And in her ever-charitable spirit, Parton has also blessed us with five tracks that were only previously available on special (read: pricey) editions of “Rockstar,” which came on the heels of her 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Oh baby, what? The surprising secrets behind Britney Spears’ ‘…Baby One More Time’ video
Britney Spears’ debut single, “…Baby One More Time.”Indeed, the same California high school where John Travolta’s Danny and Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy were “Born to Hand Jive” in the 1978 movie classic set the scene for Spears’ graduation to the top of the pop world.“It was filmed at Venice Beach High School — the same place they filmed ‘Grease,’” Felicia Culotta — who was the then 16-year-old Spears’ assistant/chaperone — told The Post. “And we were just like, ‘Oh my gosh — nothing’s gonna get any better than this!’”The classic clip that premiered on MTV in November 1998 — two months after the single’s release — was the brainchild of the teenager herself.“The video was 100 percent her idea,” said Barry Weiss, who was then president of Spears’ label, Jive Records.“That was a huge, huge vehicle that broke her on a global basis.”Indeed, the timing couldn’t have been better: MTV’s “TRL” premiered just two months before Spears would deliver the video for her army of new fans.“The time that it was on during the day meant that kids would rush home from school and vote for their favorite video,” said Lori Majewski, host of SiriusXM’s “Fierce: Women in Music,” who was Entertainment Editor at Teen People magazine when Spears launched her recording career.And those young fans would become instantly acquainted with Culotta, who made a last-minute appearance in the schoolroom scenes at Spears’ request.“They said, ‘Oh, we don’t have a teacher,’” said Culotta.
