Those New Kids On The Block are suing a production company who, they allege, were planning on creating a fake boyband that would use their name and pass off new recordings as theirs, or something like that.
Nineties popsters NKOTB, who reformed last year, of course, are suing SM Productions over various passing off, trademark and copyright infringement claims. It's not clear how far the defendants got in their bid to make and/or sell imitation New Kids recordings or products, though the lawsuit reportedly claims the company tried to register trademarks and copyrights that belong to the group.
