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/2011/8/29/114536/559

While the rest of us were scrambling for days trying to rearrange delayed flights out of New York and New Jersey, The Jersey Shore cast got a free ride out of the Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on Saturday, courtesy of MTV.

The network wanted the cast in Los Angeles for Sunday night's VMAs so badly that they chartered a private jet as area airports were canceling commercial flights thanks to Hurricane Irene. "We had to get out here for the VMAs," Vinny said after arriving in L.A. "MTV did whatever they could to get us out here. We wouldn't miss it for the world." ]]> cmb 2011-08-29T12:22:43-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/7/21/7182/92223

When you think of hot air balloons you might think of the big shindig over in Albuquerque, but for those in the Northeast there’s a pretty good festival coming up that might just require a little road trip rather than a flight. The QuickChek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning takes place in just a couple of weeks, as it’s set to run between July 29 and July 31 at the Solberg Airport in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.

They’ve got like at least 100 different balloons of all different shapes and sizes—including a butterfly, a shark, and the biggest can of Pepsi you’ve ever seen—that will hit the skies altogether twice per day. Besides the balloons there’s a 5K, a lady who shoots herself from a cannon, and 200 different vendors selling crafts and other goodies. ]]> kjb 2011-07-21T09:15:01-05:00 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/2010/12/27/153859/43

December 2010 Blizzard Timelapse from Michael Black on Vimeo.

Are you stranded at an airport? Calm down. Take a deep breath. And then watch the video above to be reminded why it is that your flight is unable to get to or from the East Cost. The above timelapse shot was taken on the north shore of New Jersey, from the first snowflakes all the way to the calm that comes after the sky has dumped itself upon the ground.

This video—simple as it is—is quickly going viral, as the world is enthralled with the idea of Mother Nature throwing all her weight into giving New York City a good and true blizzard. Enjoy, and remember you'll eventually get where you want to go, just that it'll take a little longer than normal on account of the force of nature sampled above.]]> JetSetCD 2010-12-27T19:02:47-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/12/7/111140/946

That looks like a pilot at the desk but really it's just a security guard.

The other week we were scooping up some post-Thanksgiving deals at the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey when we noticed a brand-new Continental Lounge on the bottom level near the Bloomingdale's entrance.

We quickly deduced that this was a special VIP hangout for Continental Chase Card members and fortunately for us, our shopping partner is a Continental Chase Card member (we swear on The Situation's abs!) So in we went.

Officially billed as the Continental VIP Lounge by Chase, the Short Hills location is the only one they are offering. Here are some of the perks of the lounge:

· Free gift-wrapping
· Free snacks like chips, cookies, brownies, sodas, coffee, hot tea and bottled water
· Use of massage chairs
· Plenty of seating area with flat-screen TVs
· A mobile charging station where you can charge a variety of cellphones
· FREE WIFI ]]> juliana 2010-12-07T17:05:50-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
