Christie's is holding a pop culture auction this summer and their sale will include none other than Tony Soprano's most notable wardrobe items. The auction takes place on June 25th (almost a year after the series finale, and the tag sale) and WNBC reports that the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a Florida-based group assisting severely wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. While some pieces of the Gandolfini garb may go for......

Hear about that movie Romance and Cigarettes that premiered last night? You know, the one directed by John Turturro, starring Chris Walken, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Steve Buscemi, Kate Winslet, Mary Louise-Parker, Bobby Cannavale, Mandy Moore, Elaine Stritch and Amy Sedaris? Well, don’t feel bad if you didn't – that fact that two years since it wrapped the film’s been released all over the world except the town where it was shot speaks volumes......

300 (directed by Zack Snyder) As digital technologies get more savvy, it seems as though the line between video game and movie gets even more blurry. A prime example is the adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.E. 300, which is out on DVD this week. Everything about this movie is overblown and over-the-top from the "brave few against the demonic many" plot line to the actors' chiseled......

- Randy put together the great diagram above showing the areas of the Greenpoint Terminal Market damaged by the fire. - City landlords are looking to raise stabilized rents by 8%, blaming fuel costs - Nice one: If you're going to have someone drive expensive art from Florida to NYC, make sure he's not an ex-con who might drive away with the van - Police are looking for a man pretending to be a......

Gothamist was trying to free up our Sunday nights for mindless TV, but we got sucked into watching the Sopranos final season premiere. And was it a doozy. It had been way too long since we'd seen Silvio's hair and heard a bad joke from Christopher. We wonder if James Gandolfini partakes in Method Acting when he eats sushi and needs to get hefty for the part (we think yes). Anyway, we're not getting into......

Oh, Jerry. The Screen Actors Guild has given you a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series, a now-posthumous tribute to your work as Detective Lennie Briscoe on Law & Order. Though you face some tough (James Gandolfini in the Sopranos, Kiefer "Job/Sisyhpus" Sutherland in 24) competition, Gothamist feels your work ruled, because you created a character whose interior life we could imagine with just a wiggle of your eyebrow.......

On Sept. 10 and 11, readings of Sarah Tuft?s play 110 Stories were held at the Public Theater as benefit events for the Leary Firefighters Foundation. Writer Tuft (also the Director and Producer) created this work as a response to September 11th. Immediately after that day, she sought out and recorded first-person accounts from survivors and recovery personnel. Tuft wove them into narrative form, and the result made for an extremely compelling evening of theater.......

A great all-star cast is participating in benefit readings this weekend of 110 Stories, a play by New York playwright Sarah Tuft, which uses personal stories recorded in the aftermath of September 11th to reveal personal experiences and truth. Alec Baldwin, Edie Falco, James Gandolfini, Benjamin Bratt, Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Hayden, Elias Koteas, Mary Stuart Masterson, Chazz Palminteri, Jay O. Sanders, Susan Sarandon, and John Turturro are among those scheduled to appear. The......

Gothamist doesn't know why we bothered with the 2005 Emmy Nominations because they were boring, except that we're ruthless TV watchers and awards show fiends, so we're painted into the corner. The actors, actresses, and programs nominated were all fine and very talented, but it's the same crew every year! James Gandolfini...Allison Janney...The West Wing...Will & Grace - which wasn't even as good as the subpar non-nominated Friends this past season...four writing nominations for the......

Even the most jaded New Yorker can be thrilled by the sight of a movie being filmed on our streets, because, even the crappiest of movies with New York scenes can still be amazing if there's that one stunning vista of the city or you can say, "Yeah, that street really is that dirty." This picture of Steve Buscemi and some off-duty firefighters (playing firefighters, natch) gathering around the craft service table was taken......

Will last night's shooting at famous East Harlem restaurant, Rao's, deter diners? Especially since part of the appeal is how hard it is to get a reservation in the first place? Last night, "old time mobster" Louis Barone allegedly shot a diner and continued to pursue his victim as he stumbled out. The police apprehended Barone and his accomplice while the victim, Albert Cicerelli, later died. A private security consultant tells the Daily News, "This......

The insanely contentious wrangling between James Gandolfini and HBO over his salary may be coming to the a close: Bill Carter of the Times reports that both sides will probably drop their suits. This whole mess is like watching two babies fight. Yes, they are talented babies, and, yes, there are serious financial implications for both parties, but come on. That they are describing the negotiations as being like war is lame: "Executives on both......
