The fun may be over for the cast of the Jersey Shore, but the fun doesn’t have to stop for you!

Although the season had the gang livin’ it up in Italy, guidos and juiceheads can have their own fun at the original house in New Jersey, where it all began.

The APP reports the house rents out for $2,500 a night at Seaside Heights. It comes fully equipped with the duck phone and the double beds in the Smush Room. And, we have a feeling all the bed sheets have been thorougly sanitized with bleach.

As stated in the article, many fans of all ages have rented out the house for various celebrations, including one’s 40th birthday party. B-Y-O-B, bring your own drama but leave the grenades are home.

‘Jersey Shore’s’ Snooki Pissed Over False Story

A website is claiming Jersey Shore’s Snooki was arrested in New Jersey with a ton of marijuana. Snooki claims the story is a complete lie, and she is very pissed.

Here’s a small problem with the story – Snooki wasn’t even in New Jersey when the alleged arrest happened.

Snooki’s rep tells TMZ, “The report is 100% false. As Ms. Polizzi’s legal counsel is currently investigating this matter, we cannot comment any further except to assure the public and Ms. Polizzi’s fans that this story is a complete fabrication.”

The story is still developing.

Crazy 23 Year Old Guy Crashes Beyonce Music Video

We aren’t sure exactly this guy’s motives, but a disgruntled gentleman was arrested after crashing Beyonce’s music video, and throwing an egg at a cop.

The incident occurred in New Jersey this week at a trailer park where the video was being shot. The 23 year old man was already thrown off the set twice for sneaking onto the set and yelling “I can be a better dancer!” reports TMZ. He returned a third time and threw an egg at a cop.

Understandably, the police were not amused, and they chased him down and arrested him. The guy has been released from jail.

We are curious on his motives. Was he insane? Did he want to be in the video? Is he just an ass? So many questions left to be answered.

Study Shows ‘Jersey Shore’ Hasn’t Harmed New Jersey

Native New Jerseyans (or whatever they are called) have been concerned about the image Jersey Shore has portrayed for the State. However a study has been released that shows the series hasn’t affected the State’s image.

The Farleigh Dickson University Study showed that watching Jersey Shore didn’t change a person’s view. Some highlights of the report include:

- 43% of Jersey Shore viewers have a favourable view of the State

- 41% of people who never watched the show thought New Jersey was great

- Only 18% of respondents didn’t like the State

You would think with people like Snooki and “The Situation” suddenly representing the State it would tarnish their reputation. The fact it had little to no effect must mean New Jersey had little to lose as far as their reputation.

The woman was on an escalator in front of Rock when her water broke. Rock took charge of the situation, calming the woman along with the crowd, until paramedics could arrive.

“He was making the crowd, and the woman in labor, laugh,” the witness said of the 45-year-old comic and father of two. “She recognized who he was immediately, and he stayed there until the paramedics took her away.”

Will New Jersey ever be the same? Native New Jersey resident Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino is saying goodbye to the state, and heading to Los Angeles, reports PopEater.

“Mike has wanted to get out of Jersey for years,” a friend of the reality star tells PopEater. “He hates it. He has always seen his future in New York or Los Angeles and now that he is rich and famous I doubt he will ever want to return to Jersey again.”

However, The Situation will of course return to New Jersey to film for his “Jersey Shore.”

“Mike will go back and tape shows for MTV but the second the camera is off he’s on the first plane out back to LA,” a TV insider tells PopEater. “He’s gone all Hollywood now. He thinks he’s better than everyone and has gotten a huge head. He wants to be hanging out with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise now not the folks at the Jersey Shore.”

Yet another example of something cool coming from New Jersey besides The Sopranos and Bruce Springsteen. The Gaslight Anthem has shaken up the punk rock community, so much that even Pitchfork likes them. We spoke with the band about their recent release American Slang, and also about Justin Bieber. Believe it or not, they are not Justin Bieber fans.

Artie Lange has been missing from The Howard Stern Radio Show since early December, and now it seems things are getting worse. E! Online reports that the radio comedian has been hospitalized in New Jersey for undisclosed reasons.

“We can confirm that Artie is in the hospital,” Lange’s camp said in a statement. “Artie has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor. There will be no further comment.”

Lange has a long history of substance abuse problems. Let’s hope that 2010 is a healthier year for him.

Bruce Springsteen Supports Gay Marriage

Bruce Springsteen has come forward as a supporter of the equal marriage bill that could be placed before the New Jersey state Senate Thursday, according to CHARTattack.com.

The bill would make it legal for sexual minorities to marry in New Jersey, and Springsteen updated his website to let fans know he supports it.

“Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I’ve been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton,” he said in a statement. “I’ve long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor [Jon] Corzine when he writes that, ‘The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is – a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.’ I couldn’t agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.”

New Jersey, which is Springsteen’s home state, currently recognizes same-sex couples in civil unions, but same-sex marriage is not yet legal there.

Corzine supports the equal marriage bill and said he would sign a bill to legalize same-sex marriage if it passes. However, Republican Gov.-elect Chris Christie has said he will reject the bill and campaign for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Christie takes office on Jan. 19.

In December 2008, the New Jersey Union Review Commission found that New Jersey should introduce legislation for same-sex marriage because it said that the state’s civil unions do not adequately protect gay and lesbian couples.

On Monday (Dec. 7), the New Jersey Senate Judicial Committee voted in favour of the marriage equality bill. Today is the earliest day the Senate can vote on the bill.

New York’s state Senate voted on an equal marriage bill last week, but it did not pass.

Currently in the United States, same-sex couples can only marry in Massachusetts, Vermont, Iowa, and Connecticut. Same-sex marriages will begin in New Hampshire on Jan. 1.

Holler Wild Rose’s “Our Little Hymnal” is a mainstay of my stereo rotation right now. The band crafts incredibly expansive songs, packed with ambient guitars and delicate melody. There’s a lot of love in this band, and it really comes through in the music. I met up with two of the members during NxNE to speak about their band.

Bruce Springsteen will bid farewell to New Jersey’s Giants Stadium this fall as the final music act to rock the soon-to-be-demolished sporting venue.

Springsteen made the announcement this week during his show at the nearby Izod Center, telling the crowd that he and his “wrecking crew” – the E Street Band – have a three-concert stint at the stadium scheduled for Sept. 30, Oct. 2 and Oct. 3.

Tickets for those shows go on sale June 1 at 10 a.m. EST.

Springsteen is no stranger to Giants Stadium, having sold out 16 concerts at the venue throughout his career.

The stadium is slated for demolition following this year’s NFL season to clear the path for the New York Giants’ new $1.3 billion home.
