At a press event held in New York City yesterday Kevin Smith, and a few of his friends, talked about their latest project: a reality show set in Kevin's comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash.

Smith explained that the series, simply titled Comic Book Men, is like "Pawn Stars in a comic book store" as the staff—store manager Walt, Mike, Ming who is described as the store's "whipping boy", and Bryan who doesn't work in the store but always seems to be there—buy and sell rare comic collectibles. Smith also plays a role in the show by joining them in a podcast which is woven throughout each episode. ]]> cmb 2012-02-08T09:45:50-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/10/25/93310/365

You won't find it on AirBnb, but you will stumble upon it on the same block it's been on since before the MTV Jersey Shore came in and GTL-ed all over its six bedrooms and roofdeck. Naturally we're talking about the Jersey Shore house—the very one featured in Seasons 1 and 3 of the popular reality show. It's up for rent to regular folks for a whopping $2,500 a day, according to the AP.

Checking out the official listing on Seaside Realty, we can see that the place comes complete with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, three parking spaces and the option of catering or getting a rental DJ. We're going to go ahead and assume that the place is booked up for New Year's already, but now would be the time to begin scooping up summer 2012 dates.

Alas, the cast of the Jersey Shore will not return to film a fifth season at the house, as two spin-off shows are already in the works. The first will follow the further adventures of Snooki and J-Woww as they become roommates, while the second trails DJ Pauly D around the world, making various music and celebrity appearances. Filming on both will commence this late autumn, with the series to hit the air in 2012.]]> JetSetCD 2011-10-25T10:05:54-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/8/18/22359/4390

Sit back and listen to this tale of social media customer service gone right, where frequent flying combined with brand loyalty and humor equaled genuine surprise:

Peter Shankman is as frequent a flyer as you'll ever find; following him on Twitter you'll quickly get a sense of this, plus his preference for Continental Airlines and Newark-Liberty Airport.

Yesterday, as Shankman relates in his blog post, he flew to Miami for a business lunch and dreaded the hunger that would gnaw upon returning to Newark Airport that night. So he tweeted about it: ]]> JetSetCD 2011-08-18T12:06:33-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/7/18/13523/5992

Remember that story we did around Easter, when someone dressed up as a giant pink rabbit and attacked a TSA agent with confetti, and then was promptly arrested because that's something you're not allowed to do? This story is kind of like that, except we also get to use condescending lines like "there are certain people who shouldn't be allowed to run with sharp things."

For reasons that are currently being probed by the psychologists conducting his evaluation, Xiang Xun Shao of Manhattan decided that it would be a good idea to put a knife in his pocket, jump over a barrier at EWR, and run onto the tarmac.

From there things proceeded about how you'd expect, and he was very promptly tackled by a Port Authority policeman somewhere around Terminal C. It all happened so fast that the airport didn't even need to delay any flights, which is quite an achievement given that EWR officials once shut down for a day because someone decided to jump into the sterile area and steal a kiss from his girlfriend.]]> Omri 2011-07-18T15:35:04-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/4/22/121427/124

For those of you who may have missed last fall's Real Housewives of New Jersey Tour, you're going to have a second chance next weekend!

Like the tour that took place last year, participants will get a glimpse of several New Jersey hot spots made famous by Bravo's hit reality series, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, including the ladies' homes, favorite salons, and even their plastic surgeon's office. The tour will also include brunch at The Brownstone, a shopping spree at Posche, and a New Jersey "goodie bag". ]]> cmb 2011-04-22T14:02:03-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/1/25/164933/521
The special-edition Jets cupcake, which sadly probably won't be one of the options at Newark.

Do we have to tell you twice? FREE CUPCAKES AT NEWARK AIRPORT THIS FRIDAY, January 28. Why, you ask? Oh, just because Crumbs Bakeshop, a chain of stores that specializes in cupcakes, is celebrating the opening of a location in the airport's Terminal C.

Here's how to get one: be on a flight into or out of Newark's Terminal C (the Continental terminal) on Friday. The earlier, the better. Crumbs is located next to the C2 checkpoint. They'll start handing out the free sweets at 6am, until all 1,000 are gone. You even get the cupcake of your choice.

If you'd like a recommendation beyond classic chocolate sprinkle, they make a mean chocolate-chip cookie dough cupcake. Or go for one of the New York-centric flavors they've included in combo packs only at this location. There's the New York Collection (Caramel Apple, Madison Avenue, Cosmo, Black and White, Taxi Cab and Blackout) and the Black & White Collection (Blackbottom Cheesecake, Blackout, Black & White, Devil's Food, Squiggle and Artie Lange).

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but it’s also the season for bomb scares. Okay we might be a little extreme, but sketchy stuff already went down at Newark-Liberty airport earlier today. One of those ubiquitous “suspicious packages” was found, and the TSA ordered an evacuation of the terminal just in case. It wasn’t anything of particular interest, but it was an old computer monitor leaking little bit of radiation—apparently that’s not a big deal.

Anyway, things in one of the terminals were stopped this morning as a precaution, but the rest of the airport continued to operate as usual. So if you’re stuck in a security line right now at the airport and are reading this, it’s probably due to the leaky monitor. ]]> kjb 2010-12-20T10:35:56-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
