You may have found yourself watching Jersey Shore saying to yourself' "They pay these people for this?" The answer is oooooooh yeeeahhh, and you might not believe how much.

Here's a fun idea to consider when Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July, the fictional Gotham City of the DC Comics universe is largely considered to be in New Jersey.

We had the opportunity to attend the New York City premiere of Rock of Ages last night at Regal Cinemas on 42nd St in Manhattan. Would the energy and electricity of the Broadway show be captured on a movie screen? Would the amazing music that took over the stage find it's way to the silver screen?

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about what an inspiration Eric LeGrand has been to so many people. LeGrand, paralyzed while playing football for Rutgers 18 months ago, was recently awarded an NFL contract by former Rutgers and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano. I had the honor to meet both at this weekend's NJ Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies.

When somebody takes your picture, they're supposed to say "Say cheese" or "1,2,3" or something like that, right. Something to get you ready to have your picture taken. I don't know if that's happening when our drivers license photo is being taken.

The New Jersey Hall of Fame has inducted some big New Jersey names in past years. Figures so popular that you only need to use their first name to know who they are. There's Bruce, Frank, Yogi, Jon, Buzz and Shaquille just to name a few. This year even more people who have made New Jersey proud will be honored.

One thing we can all agree on is that there are a lot of things we see on New Jersey's roads that annoy us. Lots and lots of things. It's amazing the moves some people make on the roads. But who's the worst kind of driver. Let's look at some bad driver habits.

Don't you think somebody would have thought to make National Chocolate Ice Cream Day in March or April so we could hide the results of our celebration under a sweater or at least a loose shirt? Well, it didn't work out that way, so Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!

June 6 is National Running Day. If you haven't already, get out there and pound the pavement!

I always have a great time at First Energy Park, whether I'm checking out a Lakewood BlueClaws game or, like last night, having a blast being the guest PA announcer for the game. The staff behind the scenes is just as awesome as the staff you see throughout the stadium.

When you live at the Jersey shore, like we do, just about everything is geared toward the summer season. I spent a pretty mild winter dreaming about those hot summer days and the beach, boardwalk and my own backyard deck. So when there's a TV show I want to watch I feel a little guilty.

I am so excited to be the public address announcer at the Lakewood BlueClaws game tonight at First Energy Park. As a little boy I was like so many other kids dreaming of being a baseball player. As you know, that didn't work out so well.
