Alicia's mother, Donna, said she thought Donnie was arrogant.
"We're upset with Donnie because we asked him for his autograph and he was very rude to us," she said. Bertrand said she was driving one day down Dorchester Avenue near the Fields Corner section of Dorchester, when she spotted Wahlberg talking to a group of girls.
She stopped the car and the children ran out to get his autograph.
"All he wrote was a big D," she said.
While Mrs. Bertrand was upset by the New Kids' egos, her daughter had something different on her mind.
Alicia was excited to attend a "baby shower" across the street from Wahlberg's Braintree home yesterday. She said she planned to babysit a small child there, and push the baby in a stroller "up and down the street."
And she had one final message to the Dorchester homeboy music group: "Joe McIntyre, I love you!" she squealed.
