In what's gotta be the dumbest freakin' move ever made by reality TV, those "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" queens suddenly invaded "The Sopranos" set and -- with cameras crankin' -- chirped cheerily at hairybear bossman James Gandolfini: "HI, there! Ready for your makeover?" That's when all HELL broke loose, say insiders. Turning bright red with anger, Gandolfini snarled, "Get the f--- away from me!" When his message didn't immediately register in the Queer Ear, Gandolfini exploded! "WHO THE F--- LET YOU IN HERE?" he shouted. "TURN THOSE F----N' CAMERAS OFF . . . NOW!" Finally reacting to their star's outrage at the on-set ambush, "Sopranos" producers -- who'd allowed the "Queer Eye" invasion thinking Gandolfini would be amused -- quickly started shooing The Gay Gang toward the exit. Boss of All Bosses stormed off to his dressing room fuming, and refused to return until he'd been guaranteed there wasn't a Queer Eye in sight!
Strange. Most of the stuff I've read about Gandolfini is that he's a nice guy. You would think that would have been amusing.
Yea, esp. if he was on the set. I'm sure he's very intense and in character while on set. So they didn't run into James, they ran into T.
I think you nailed it. I have heard that Gandolfini is a nice guy, but I think lots of actors would have reacted the way he did.
Really? I've always heard that the guy is a complete jackoff who has tried to quit the show numerous times over money and movie deals.

Am I the only one who has never seen The Sopranos? I have The Godfather Trilogy and Goodfellas on DVD, why should I watch The Sopranos? Hell, it took me about a year to figure out that the show in fact wasn't about a women's choir.
I'm a big mafia/gangster movie fan and I've never seen The Sopranos either. I always hear that it's great everything but I want to start at the beginning, I would rent the seasons but I'm to lazy
Dude... before this year, I was in the same boat as you. Loved Godfather (probably my favorite movie), loved Casino and Goodfellas... but just never got into Sopranos. Then, I had HBO free for 3 months and got HOOKED. Now, I've been renting the seasons from netflix and catching up from season one. Trust me... its worth it... you won't be dissapointed... it combines a little bit of everything from all the mob movies, and its awesome to watch these characters develop thru the years.
Last Febuary HBO aired all 4 seasons of the Sopranos. I hadn't seen the first 3 seasons so they were all new to me. It's hard to explain, but after watching 1 episode it just hooks you. The characters are great, the acting is top notch and of course if you like violence this is the perfect show.
i believe Gandolfini's ex wife gave an interview about a year ago talking about their drug use. James came out and confirmed the story, but said he hadn't touched any drugs in 4 or 5 years.
