Sharon Knight (Jordan's big sister) stopped by the JK.com chat on 1/7/00, she stayed in for quite a while, so I didn't transcript it word for word, but here's a summary of what we talked about while she was there...

First, Dante is doing well. She mentioned that she spent the night at Jordan's place on New Years Eve (Jordan had a party there for New Years) and she got up with Dante so Jordan could sleep in. Jordan loves being a daddy but he doesn't get much sleep with the baby around. She said Jordan used to want 6 kids, but not anymore, lol. Sharon and Allison now run a children's clothing store called "Imaginations" in Marbleheard, MA and have had it for about 5 or 6 years. Sharon said Jordan helped them get started, and now they give Dante clothes from the store. She said Jon is not married and he doesn't have children yet. Allison has 2 sons, David has 1 boy and 1 girl, Chris has 4 kids, she has 3 boys and of course Jordan has Dante. (She listed the names of the children- Alica, Robert Nathaniel, Justine, Christina, Nicolas, Racheal, Alexander, Matthew, Patrick, Brendon, and Dante.) Sharon says their mom is doing good. Sharon lives next door to Jon and they're connected by a garage. Someone asked if Jon would ever concider going back into show business and she said no. She says he ownes a re-delveopment company. She said Jon stopped in the chat once, but got booted. Matthew is now almost 16 years old, and he was telling his mom to stop laughing when she was chatting, and then he played "Please don't go girl" while she was chatting. Sharon also enjoys photography like Jordan, but she says she spends most of her time raising her boys and at her store. She said she used to do the New Kids hair back in the Nynuk days and she said Donnie's scalp was icky, lol. She was excited to see the David Cassidy movie this weekend and was saying that the Cassidy's were her idols when she was growing up, she even said that Shaun's daughter (?) had written to Jordan's fan club and she was excited about that. She didn't know much about Jordan's next album, but she thinks he hasn't started anything in the studio yet, and probably won't use any of the old songs from the last album that weren't included (Say Goodbye, etc.). She said that Jordan does not have the screen name "PopeyeJK". She said she asked Jordan at New Years if he had a date for the wedding yet, and they still didn't know yet. Sharon mentioned she went to Joe's New Year's Eve show and gave him a birthday kiss. She said their mom's heritage was Scotish, Irish, and English, and their dad's was Irish. David owns a gym (with Jordan) in RI and he lives there now too. She says that sometimes her and Matthew visit NKOTB sites (I wonder if she's visited this one?)
