MOB MENTALITY
HBO has suspended production of The Sopranos's fifth season — scheduled to begin on March 24 — as a result of its pending legal battle (read: salary dispute) with star James Gandolfini. Making matters worse, talks between HBO and the actor are said to be as dead as Tony and Carmela's marriage. According to Variety, HBO's final offer to Gandolfini was $11 million for a 13-episode fifth season — a far cry from the $27 million the Emmy winner is reportedly demanding.
