Donnie Wahlberg has joined the cast of MGM’s laffer “The Zookeeper” alongside Kevin James and Rosario Dawson.
Story centers around a zookeeper who decides to quit his job to find love, but the animals in his charge break their code of silence to teach him how to pursue the woman of his dreams. Frank Coraci is directing from the screenplay by James, Jay Scherick, David Ronn, Rock Reuben and Nick Bakay.
Wahlberg most recently appeared in “Righteous Kill” with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Donnie,
I am happy for you getting this new role. I just am wondering what it means for NKOTB. Will you guys keep together or disband again? Please don’t disband!!! I really want the chance to at least you guys in concert once more-AT LEAST!

We have all known how funny the D-dub is, now its time for the rest of the world to learn he doesn’t have to play a serious cop, or bad dude….

As a past cruise attendee, I just wanted to say that while I am glad you all are doing another cruise, I was hoping the cruise would allow for a departure out of the West coast. This cruise is departing out of Miami again to the Bahamas. Not complaining, but hope that if you all do a future cruise, that it will depart out of California or Texas, et..
Be blessed,
Sylvia
