Final Look at 'The Sopranos' Characters

NEW YORK -- The eruption heard across the country Sunday night at
10:03 p.m. EDT: Collective exclamations of "What?" "Are you kidding
me?" and " $&!?"

The choose-your-own-adventure ending of "The Sopranos" left endless
loose ends that seemed to parody the typical audience expectations for
a series finale. If you were bothered by the never-heard-from-again
Russian who escaped assassination in the Pine Barrens, well, you're
probably not very happy now.

Meanwhile, "Sopranos" creator David Chase was in France, unreachable
to all press, according to an HBO publicist. You might call it a safe
house, far away from the giant hit he just ordered on "Sopranos"
watchers.

But as ambiguous as the conclusion of the HBO drama was, the 86th
episode _ titled "Made in America" _ still left us with final,
indelible images of the main characters.

TONY SOPRANO: Many expected Tony to die, but the mob boss managed to
live through the episode; whether he lives much past that is a matter
of subjectivity. Were the shady-looking characters hanging around the
diner in the final scene there to kill Tony? Were they undercover
cops? Neither? With a likely indictment hanging over his head, our
last impression of Tony (James Gandolfini) was of a relatively
peaceful family man who had come to terms with many of his headaches,
including Uncle Junior (whom he had disavowed after Junior shot him)
and therapy (which he disavowed after Dr. Melfi ended their sessions).
He showed interest in both in the finale. His kids continue to
disappoint, but perhaps not too much. Any judgment of Tony's lasting
mental state, though, would take pages and pages, and still leave
unresolved issues.

PHIL LEOTARDO: In the battle of Tony vs. Phil, New Jersey vs. New
York, Tony won. Phil (Frank Vincent) met his fate at a gas station
where he was shot, and then had his skull accidentally run over for
good measure. Tony was able to turn Leotardo's crew after even they
acknowledged that the New York boss had gone "too far" in his war.
Tony blamed the "tension" partly on Leotardo's inherited insecurity
from the deceased New York boss Johnny "Sack" Sacramoni, a veiled
reference to Johnny Sack's sensitivity to his wife's weight. As
always, slight comments linger, even beyond the grave.

A.J. SOPRANO: Tony's son was his old self. He didn't kill himself, his
dad or figure prominently in the mob war fallout. Instead, A.J.
(Robert Iler) griped about America and quoted "Yeets." He accidentally
burned his SUV to a crisp, but also finally kissed his model friend
Rhiannon. He decided he wanted to join the Army, but was dissuaded
when his parents got him a job on a movie, which was put into
production after "Danny" Baldwin passed a script to Tony. That future
seemed no more likely to last for A.J. than any other, but it was he
who warmed his family in the final scene by quoting Tony in wanting to
"remember the times that were good."

MEADOW SOPRANO: Tony's daughter (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) mainly remained on
the sidelines in the finale, as she had for much of the season. She
and Patrick Parisi are headed for marriage, and he might be getting
her a job at his law firm once she's completed law school. When Tony
pressed her on why she wasn't still going to medical school, Meadow
said she became interested in law only after seeing the police badger
her family _ perhaps furthering Tony's guilt. We also learned that
Meadow is an absolutely terrible parallel parker.

AGENT DWIGHT HARRIS: We learned more about the FBI agent (Matt
Servitto) in the final episode than in all those before it: His job is
hurting his relationship, and he's having an affair with another
agent. Harris also supplied Tony with the approximate location of
Leotardo. Working terrorism, he clearly misses the more
understandable, exciting world of the Mafia. When told of Leotardo's
death, he cheered: "We're gonna win this thing!" There were, though,
several reveals of FBI surveillance on Tony, including phone taps. And
Carlo Gervasi was rumored to have flipped after his son was arrested
for selling ecstasy.

CARMELA SOPRANO: Carmela (Edie Falco) remained a faithful wife to Tony
and was seen flipping through real estate brochures, suggesting real
estate remained her devotion. She also grown tired of Tony's use of
his depression as a crutch _ similar to how Tony viewed Christopher
Moltisanti's alcoholism. When Tony spoke to A.J.'s therapist about the
hurt his mother caused, Carmela's eyes rolled.

PAULIE "WALNUTS" GUALTIERI: The Soprano soldier (Tony Sirico) proved
both his allegiance to Tony and his deep distrust of felines. A cat
adopted by the crew that sat and stared at a photo of Christopher
particularly bugged Paulie, who thought it might signify a "jinx"
following Christopher's death. Though Paulie was suspected of
cooperating with the New York family, he proved loyal to Tony. When
Tony offered Paulie Carlo's job, Paulie hesitated, but eventually took
it. In between, he showed he was feeling his age, and was haunted by
sighting of the Virgin Mary _ in the Bada Bing, of all places.

SILVIO DANTE: After being shot last week on orders from Leotardo,
Silvio (Steven Van Zandt) was only shown briefly laid up unconscious
in a hospital bed, his wife quietly filing his toenails. No mention
was made of any recovery for Tony's second in command.

JANICE SOPRANO: Tony's sister and the wife of the late Bobby Bacala
was shown in mourning, but feeling relatively resilient. Janice (Aida
Turturro) joked to Tony: "I need to watch my weight. I need to snag
another husband."

CORRADO "JUNIOR" SOPRANO: Tony had long abandoned his increasingly
senile uncle and former head of the family after Junior (Dominic
Chianese) accidentally shot Tony at the start of the sixth season. But
Tony visited Junior at what appeared to be a state-run old-age home,
to tell him to leave his money (if he can remember where he buried it)
to Bacala's children. Junior didn't recognize Tony; when Tony reminded
Junior that he once ran Northern New Jersey with Tony's father, Junior
replied: "We did? That's nice."

DR. JENNIFER MELFI: Melfi (Lorraine Bracco) was a no-show in the
finale after her abrupt termination of therapy with Tony in the
penultimate episode. Tony appeared to use A.J.'s therapist as a Melfi
stand-in, divulging, "You see, I never could please my mother." You
can take the mobster out of therapy, but you can't take therapy out of
the mobster.

News: Lindsy and Paris in same jail?

Lindsay Lohan To End Up In Same Prison As Paris?

Entertainmentwise.com reports:

Lindsay Lohan could end up in the same prison as her pal Paris Hilton following her DUI arrest at the weekend.
Commentators yesterday claimed the 20-year-old faced the real possibility of jail time after crashing her car at 5:30am on Saturday morning following a suspected night of drinking
A "usable amount" of cocaine was also said to be found in the vehicle by police.
Fox News' Laura Ingle reports, "Lindsay could face a serious jail term and could well end up in the same facility as Paris.”
Ironically, but perhaps not unsurprisingly, Paris Hilton - who is due to start her own jail term next month - was apparently partying with Lindsay at Hollywood club Les Deux on the night of the crash.

Former Argentine president Menem to make long-shot bid to regain presidency

By: Associated Press -

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- Former President Carlos Menem said he will make a long-shot bid to regain the Argentine presidency in October's election.
Menem, who ruled from 1989 to 1999 as leader of the Peronist Party, told reporters Thursday he will run with his newly founded Loyalty and Dignity Party. He has broken with the Peronists, now led by incumbent President Nestor Kirchner.
Most opinion polls give Menem, 76, little chance with just around 5 percent of the vote.

Menem recently announced he had separated from his Chilean wife, former Miss Universe Cecilia Bolocco, who caused an uproar when photographs were published of her kissing and sunbathing topless with an Italian friend in Miami. Menem said the separation occurred before the photos appeared.
"It is not for me to interfere with what she does," he said.
Menem and Bolocco married in 2001 after meeting when Bolocco interviewed him for a Chilean television program. They have a 3-year-old son, Maximo.

TV: Rosie O'donel Might not return to 'The View'

Rosie O'Donel, the controversial host for the TV show "the view", stated that she might not return to the show, Los Angeles Times reports:

O'Donnell unsure if she'll return to 'The View'

NEW YORK — A day after she and Elisabeth Hasselbeck clashed angrily on "The View," Rosie O'Donnell took the day off Thursday to celebrate her partner Kelli Carpenter O'Donnell's 40th birthday and indicated that she is unsure whether she will return to the program.
O'Donnell told a viewer on her personal blog that she has "no idea" when or if she will go back on the ABC daytime talk show for the remaining month of her contract. To another fan who urged her to walk away, she wrote: "well u know when its time 2 go."
With the program running taped editions Friday and Monday, O'Donnell's next live appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. A spokesman for "The View" did not respond to a question about whether she would return.
O'Donnell and Hasselbeck, who have professed to be friends despite their political differences, waged a fierce verbal battle Wednesday over a remark O'Donnell made last week in which she implied the U.S. has engaged in terrorism in Iraq.
O'Donnell complained that Hasselbeck did not defend her against conservative critics who claimed she had called the troops "terrorists." The younger co-host pushed back, saying O'Donnell had a responsibility to defend her own words.
The back-and-forth escalated as the two women raised their voices, pointedly jabbed their fingers in the air and called each other "cowardly."
Barbara Walters, the show's creator and co-producer, was not on the program Wednesday, but when she returned Thursday, she declared that "Aunt Barbara is back and there will be peace in the kingdom."
"It's a hot weekend, so everybody can cool off," she said in a video statement on ABCNews .com.
Indeed, Hasselbeck was substantially calmer during the program's "Hot Topics" segment. Noting that the show was being preempted on the East Coast for President Bush's news conference, the co-host said wryly: "I just want to know where he was yesterday. We could have used a little of that."
It remains to be seen whether she and O'Donnell can mend their relationship. The comedian, who announced last month that she and ABC could not agree on terms for extending her contract, is set to the leave the program June 21.
During Thursday's show, Walters noted that O'Donnell had the day off but did not address the question of her return. She said she did not want to rehash the fight.
"What this show was for many years, and for most of this year, was that women could talk and argue and debate without it getting personal and nasty," Walters said. "And this is the way women are at home, and this is the way we want it to be and the way it has been. And that's the way it will be."
"We were all on the same team," she added later. "And usually, if we had big things to discuss we used to do them off camera. Yesterday it was on camera. But on the other hand, the show went on yesterday as normal — if there's such a thing as normal on this show."

Music: Jordin, The new American Idol

One of the main question this morning is Who won the American Idol. The finale of the show was last night. American Idol title is taken, and the winner of American Idol is Jordin Sparks. She is really talented, she sings soulfully, she had 74 million votes of her fans, and now she is the winner. The American Idol Finale Video is available at the show's official site.

Jordin, 17, has been one of the fans of American Idol since she was 12 years old, and she was dreaming to participate in the show and become a winner of the American Idol. Her dream has come true, moreover, she is the Idol now, the new winner.

"I've just been trying to top myself each week," Sparks told The Associated Press. "I would sing my song and after I was done I was like, `OK, what am I going to do next week that's going to be ... either just as good or better."

After she sang "This Is My Now”, which was picked up by the voters for the final performance.

Jordin on being announced as the new American Idol.

When Jordin was announced the winner, she said: "Thank you so much for everything. Mom, Dad, I love you. Nana, Papa, P.J., thank you guys." She was shining on the stage and she looked very happy.

Jordin’s rival was Blake Lewis, 25, a stylish beat-boxer guy known with his fresh approach to music and his hip-hop pas. He was very nice looking on the stage and he had a plenty of fans. Blake himselft was a fan of Jordin, he says, that she really deserved the crown.



"I picked Jordin Sparks at the top 24 as the American Idol winner," said Blake. "I was actually going to try to wear a `Vote for Jordin Sparks' T-shirt last night but they wouldn't let me do it."
Jordin Sparks has won a contract for recording CD as a part of American Idol title. Blake doesn’t have a contract yet, but he’s sure he’s shined at the stage and someone will appreciate his talent. Blake talked about his future album’s style - "like electro pop, very danceable."
