Warning: This might make you feel old. Donnie Wahlberg, the brooding bad boy of the New Kids on the Block, is turning the big 4-0.

Now that you've recovered from that, the good news for all of his screaming teenie-bopper-turned-soccer-mom fans is that he's holding a birthday bash right here in Connecticut.

Wahlberg is throwing his official 40th birthday celebration at Mohegan Sun on Tuesday Aug. 25th.

Donnie Wahlberg skyrocketed to superstardom in the late '80s with his NKOTB bandmates, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood.

Wahlberg has moved on to acting and movie producing.  He's had roles in the critically-acclaimed TV series Band of Brothers,  as well as feature films like Righteous Kill, Ranson and The Sixth Sense.

So does Donnie still have the "Right Stuff?" Fans can go "Step by Step" to the Mohegan Sun's Ultra 88 Night Club to check him out.  The party gets underway Tuesday Aug. 25th at 9 p.m.
