I had to implement custom events on JQuery found this kind of working for what I needed it to do. Not so sure if this was the most ideal way to do it, but would be worth getting your views on it.

$(document).ready(function() {
	$(document).bind('custom-event', doSomething);
	$(document).bind('custom-event', doAnotherthing);

	$('#some_name').click(function() {
		$(document).trigger('custom-event', ['foo1', 'foo2']);
	});

});

function doSomething(e, param1, param2) {
	console.log(arguments);
	console.log('doing something..');
}
function doAnotherthing(e, param1, param2)
{
	console.log(arguments);
	console.log('doing another thing..');
}
