This could be HEAVEN!!!!

Not content with having Michael Jackson lined up for their big comeback, soon Madonna could be part of New Kids On The Block's return, too.

The band - who had hits in the late 80s with Hangin' Tough and You Got It (The Right Stuff) - are all set to work with Timbaland next week and hope the superproducer will pull some strings to get the Queen of Pop on board for their album, out in September.

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre revealed: "It's so exciting.

We loved what Timbaland did with Madonna's 4 Minutes and can't wait to see what he has in store for us."

Jordan Knight added: "I know he's putting in a good word for us to have Madonna on the album. It's looking good.

Fingers crossed!"
