Yesterday at Christie's in New York,
Tony Soprano's costumes went up for auction. You not going to believe how much money a bloody wifebeater goes for these days. One fan of the show paid $43,750 for the outfit pictured to the right: a bloody tank, a stained button down shirt, and pants. The outfit was the one the Jersey mob boss wore when Uncle Junior mistakenly shot him.
Also up for bid was a four-piece set containing boxers, a robe, a sleeveless undershirt, and a pair of slippers (a costume Gandolfini donned many times on the show). It took home $21,250. Another robe (the tan one with an "S" monogram that Gandolfini wore in the pilot) went for $13.750. Overall, the iconic mafia boss's clothes brought in over $185,000.

According to The Smoking Gun, Tony Sirico, the actor who portrays
Paulie Walnuts on
The Sopranos, didn't have to
stretch his acting muscles too much to portray his on-camera
role. In the '60s and '70s, Sirico was apparently a mafia-connected thug who spent time in Sing Sing and other prisons
of that caliber after he was convicted on felony weapons possession charges. I love it. There's nothing I like more
than a little authenticity in my mafiosos. Sirico is also quoted as saying he would "carve his initials" in
the forehead of a disco club owner that he had a beef with. Although hilarious and pretty cool, I'm a little
frightened, and this is probably the one time I wouldn't want a celebrity reading my post about them. I mean, Paulie
beat up an old lady!! Does that picture look like it's looking at me...?

HBO
understands the viral power of the internet and is apparently hoping to get in on it with a couple of online promotions
for the upcoming season of
The Sopranos, which starts March 12. First, it's paying Google to use its maps to
identify certain parts of New Jersey where key parts of
The Sopranos have happened (does that mean we'll know
where Ralphie's head is buried?). Starting February 27th, all you'll have to do is go to Google and type in
"Sopranos Map".
HBO.com is also planning an interactive game called
Whack a Soprano.
