Sorry, LALATE doesn’t believe it. Tonight online reports say Michael Jackson could tour with New Kids on the Block? Yeah right. Earlier this week, it was New Edition and New Kids. Now it’s Michael Jackson and New Kids? Yeah right.

The reality will probably unfold as the following. Jackson will sell more tickets in a set arena location, not a tour. A Jackson Las Vegas gig makes the most sense and could yield the highest profits with a set arena night after night.

It could also be given a short engagement of three months and extended thereafter, a typical booking trend in Vegas.

The idea of touring with a group that was never as big as him is a mistake and not something Jackson usually does. When it comes to music, Jackson knows his stuff better than anyone else.

NEW DUET! New Kids on the Block are recording a duet song with New Edition!

The duet track reportedly will be called “Full Service” and will appear on New Kids on the Block’s upcoming album. Bobby Brown is not part of the New Edition reunion.

“Donnie Wahlberg had this idea for a few months, since New Kids had the idea of getting back together really,” says producer for New Kids. “Donnie’s been looking for that one track for all of them and I think we found it.”

The song is reportedly written by Wahlberg and disco diva Lady GaGa among others.

New Edition singer Tresvant says the groups have not be feuding in the past “The thing people were going back and forth with was we’d been doing what we were doing for the longest [but] we couldn’t get cartoons and things that the white guys were getting. It was like, ‘wow,’ ” he said. “But the guys themselves, we have mad love.”

Mad love, mad money, if the song is decent.
