This Week's Twitter Roundup starts on a somber note.

Americans experienced a terrible tragedy on monday, April 15th, with the bombing of the Boston Marathon. With three dead, hundreds injured and literally thousands left de-spirited, scared, shaken and vulnerable, Americans more than ever feel the intense need to find common ground, and bond together.

We often view our celebrities as detached from our more 'visceral' reality, but it's times like these that help us remember that they hurt too. Many were shaken by the attack - and celebrities, offer their condolences, sympathies and feeling...

Affleck, who grew up in Cambridge, wrote on Facebook:  "Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston."

Dane Cook, also from Cambridge, tweeted: "My prayers with everyone in Boston right now after this atrociou...

Donnie Wahlberg hopes his Blue Bloods co-star Jennifer Esposito can resolve her feud with TV bosses soon so she can return to the crime drama.

The Latina beauty, who played series regular Jackie Curatola, was suspended from the series after asking executives at TV network CBS to cut back her shooting schedule after she collapsed on set.

Esposito, who suffers from autoimmune disorder Celiac Disease, called on her doctor to write to producers explaining why she needed a break, but they allegedly refused to back down, and her character was written out of the show last month.

However, Blu...

As Hurricane Sandy battered the northeast on Monday, Donnie Wahlberg had to deal with a flooded apartment in New York City.

The "Blue Bloods" actor posted photos of the damage online, showing his kitchen immersed in a foot of water. A friend filmed Donnie sloshing through the water, opening cupboards and assessing the damage.

Donnie posted on Twitter on Monday night, "My entire building is under a foot of water. Awesome neighbors all banding together to help each other! Stay safe!... Safe & Sound on Higher Ground! Don't worry about me. Material things are meaningless. Check in with those ...

Which Wahlberg wants a Wahlburger? Paul, Donnie and Mark Wahlberg all do!

Paul, Donnie and Mark Wahlberg are going into the burger business. The trio of brothers have decided to open up shop in Hingham, Massachusetts and have gone out of their way to obtain 'Wahlburgers' for their restaurant name.

Business partner Ed St.Croix explains, "It just works. It's a good-sounding brand we could put out the product with, a great name people could relate to."

But you see, while Wahlburgers is a natural fit for the Wahlberg brothers, it also made perfect sense when used by New York burger chain...

'Two Jews On Film': By Joan Alperin Schwartz: When five different people get screenwriting credit for one film, you know something went terribly wrong.

And that's exactly what happened with the film 'Zookeeper', directed by Frank Coraci. Five screenwriters couldn't make this film work.

When the film opens, we see Griffin Keyes (Kevin James) and his girlfriend (Stephanie), played by drop dead gorgeous, Leslie Gibb, riding horses along a beach, somewhere in Mexico.

Mark Wahlberg has come a long way since his early “pants dropping” days (as Alicia Silverstone in Clueless once coined) as he turns the big 4-0 on June 5th. His career, which started out in the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch brought him to the coveted Oscar Awards as a supporting actor nominee. This guy has done it all- modeling, rapping, acting and producing- not to mention marrying a model and turning into a doting dad and family man.

Mark was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts (a suburb of Boston) and was the youngest of nine children. Not the only Wahlberg to make a name for himsel...

Pop star Donnie Wahlberg has helped to save the life of a young fan by finding her a kidney donor via Twitter.com.

Magnum P.I.-turned-NYPD Commissioner Tom Selleck tops the list of cops, but CBS' rookie hit has also gotten Donnie Wahlberg — who traded NKOTB for the LAPD in NBC's underrated 2002-2003 crime drama Boomtown — back on the beat as his son, hotshot detective Danny Reagan.

Tom Selleck is back in a weekly series this fall in CBS’s Blue Bloods. He plays a New York City police commissioner with two cop sons and a prosecutor daughter. This is was the sort of juicy dynamic that got Selleck to return to the world where he once played Magnum P.I.

“Conflicts are interesting for me,” Selleck told the Television Critics Association at a press conference today. “You can’t be more conflicted than a police commissioner who’s got a prosecuting attorney for a daughter and two sons who are cops on the street. From a command standpoint, that’s going to be a big conflict in t...

The Drop It Like It's Hot star is an avid Lakers fan and recently issued a public call to supporters of the rival team to put their money where their mouth is after he was taunted about the 3-2 lead the Celtics had over the California team in the run up to Tuesday night's Game 6.

Reunited boy-band New Kids On The Block have pulled the plug on their Australian tour - blaming the global recession for the cancellation.

The Hangin' Tough hit-makers, who made a comeback after a 14-year hiatus, were set to hit Down Under after their successful U.S. tour finishes in August.

However, the band has found it hard to make the sums work in the current economic downturn, and have had to apologize fans for the scrapped gigs.

Band member Donnie Wahlberg writes on the band's website, "We are, in fact, in the middle of a worldwide recession and we just cannot make it work...

Eighties boy band New Kids On The Block have confirmed reports they're reuniting for a new album and tour. The quintet went public with their plans on Thursday - a day before an official reunion on TV show "Today."

The reunion comes 20 years after the release of the group's hit album Hangin' Tough, which became one of the biggest hits of the late 1980s and early 1990s - and helped NKOTB amass 70 million album sales during their career.

Band member Donnie Wahlberg, who is now a successful TV actor, insists the time is right for a reunion: "The fan response to this has been incred...

All five members of boy band New Kids On The Block will appear together on TV show "Today" on Friday, when they are expected to officially announce they've reformed.

Speculation the group - Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight - has reunited reached fever pitch in January when a new untitled track was uploaded on New Kids On The Block's recently-active official website.

And although Woods denied the band is to reform, reports the five-piece were in the studio working on a new album then surfaced.

Now New Kids On The Block, who sold ...

It's hard to imagine that it's been 20 years since I wore my New Kids On The Block t-shirt holding a pink and black pocket rocker, which was playing "Hanging Tough" of course, in one hand and a sign saying "I hart you Jordan! Merry me!" in the other. Yes, I spelled it that way I was five years old. Even back then I was able to "get on the floor and do the new kids dance" at the outdoor venue in Tinley Park for my very first concert to see the best boyband EVER!

For those who don't remember or weren't born yet, New Kids on the Block was one of the most popular boybands to hit the music ...

This winter, Lionsgate will release to DVD the action-packed drama The Kill Point. Emmy® Award-winning actor John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet) is "Mr. Wolf," an Iraq war veteran who leads his ex-platoon on a daring bank heist. When the robbery goes tragically wrong, the one-time soldier has no choice but to take hostages.

Going head to head with Mr. Wolf is "Horst Cali" (Donnie Wahlberg, Saw IV), a no-nonsense hostage negotiator who refuses to back down. What follows is a thrilling match of wits and guts between two men who both have something to prove — and everything to lose.

Eighties teen hearthrobs New Kids On The Block are reportedly recording a new album in secret. Singer Danny Woods recently attempted to shoot down increasing rumors the boy band is planning to reunite, insisting there had been "no discussion" of a comeback.

But a track was uploaded onto the group's newly-active official website last week - and sources tell the New York Post the five-piece have almost completed work on a new LP, with the help of legendary music mogul Irving Azoff.

An insider tells the newspaper, "They've been going to a studio in Orlando and recording the album. I...

Former New Kids On The Block singer Danny Woods has dismissed reports of a boy-band reunion, insisting there has been "no discussion" about a new tour.

The group, which sold over 50 million albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s, was alleged to be reforming after their official website - which was previously dormant - became fully functional and invited fans to sign up to the site for more information.

But, in a posting on social networking site MySpace.com, Woods claims he is unaware of any reunion and is focusing on his solo career.

He writes, "I wanted to address the ru...
