Shouldn't That Be ''Next to New'' ? The reunited New Kids on the Block — Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight — will perform together on NBC's Today show, 14 years after breaking up.
Also promised is a special announcement. But if it's about a new tour and CD, the new issue of People says the CD's out this spring and the tour is in the fall.
About the tour, Wahlberg told People that ''we want to reward the fans by not just giving them a trip down memory lane, but giving them something to look forward to.''
And can they still do those moves from the Right Stuff video? ''We haven't tried,'' McIntyre said. ''We're going to go into a room far, far away, lock the door and we're not going to come out until we had it as good as it used to be.''
For a refresher, check out the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmz8ygxruoc). •
Campbell Busted? News reports out of Great Britain say a woman arrested in a London airport scuffle is model Naomi Campbell.
The Sun newspaper said she was hauled away from her flight after ''ranting and screaming'' over a lost piece of luggage.
''Despite apologies and assurances she would be reunited with her luggage, the temperamental supermodel flew into a rage,'' the paper said. Security staff tried to calm her, but ''but she is alleged to have reacted by spitting at an officer and then laying into him with her fists.''
•
Let's Go to the Tape. This is not Campbell's first brush with authorities. The New York Post recap included:
• Pleading guilty to assaulting an assistant in 1998, including a threat to throw the assistant out of a moving car.
• Allegedly slapping another assistant before beating her in the head with a BlackBerry, in 2003.
• Allegedly assaulting another employee, this time her housekeeper, in 2006.
She has attended anger management classes. And might need more.

7th Heaven Fan Alert. Brenda Hampton, who created the long-running family drama, is moving along with an untitled new series due on ABC Family this summer.
According to the network, the ''heartfelt one-hour drama focuses on the relationships between families and friends and how they deal with an unexpected teen pregnancy.'' Set to star is Shailene Woodley (The O.C.). Regulars and recurring performers will also include Molly Ringwald, John Schneider, Ernie Hudson, Renee Olstead and Camille Winbush.•
Mayer Kisses, Hilton Tells? Gossip writer Perez Hilton insists on his Web site that musician John Mayer ''likes to make out with girls and boys.'' Hilton claims Mayer gave him a kiss last year that — well, let's just say it was way more intimate than the kind you get with a medal in France.
According to USmagazine.com, Hilton said even more on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, contending that Mayer is ''definitely'' bisexual and ''struggling with his sexuality.''
Hilton has also maintained that Mayer's rep has not denied the story. A rep did tell Us that ''this is all so ridiculous.''

We All Make Mistakes. The Regret the Error Web site (http://www.regrettheerror.com) had this doozy from the New York Times about actor Richard Widmark.
''An obituary . . . referred incorrectly to the genesis of the movie Cheyenne Autumn and misstated other aspects of his work. The film, in which he played an Army captain, was suggested by the 1953 book Cheyenne Autumn, by Mari Sandoz, according to the film's credits; it was not based directly on Mr. Widmark's research. Also, the film was released in 1964 — not 1963 — as an accompanying picture caption correctly noted.''
•
But Wait, There's More. ''In the film Panic in the Streets, the epidemic confronting a public-health doctor played by Mr. Widmark was pneumonic, not bubonic, plague,'' the Times continued. ''In Kiss of Death, the character played by Mildred Dunnock, who is bound to her wheelchair and pushed down a flight of stairs by an ex-convict played by Mr. Widmark, is the mother of an underworld informer — not the mother of an informer played by Victor Mature.
''The obituary also omitted two survivors: a stepson, Marc Weisgal, and a stepdaughter, Amy Fonda Ivers.''
At least they got it right that he's dead.
