SOPRANOS HIT WITH LAWSUIT
A New York judge and former prosecutor is claiming he had a hand in creating HBO's The Sopranos — and now he wants some cash for his efforts. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Robert Baer insists he suggested a TV show about mobsters and met with series creator David Chase on several occasions to give him the scoop on organized crime in New Jersey. He claims Chase agreed that if the show took off, he would be "appropriately compensated."
