James Gandolfini will be inducted into the ostensibly real "New Jersey Hall of Fame" tonight, an honor he has no doubt received many times before over weepy beers in the early hours of the New Jersey morning.

SNL quickly releases host announcements to refute lack of diversity claims; Charlie Hunnam seemingly overstepped his boundaries before departing 50 Shades; Alexis Bledel is trying to play half her age in a new movie; and India has a new superhero, thanks to Marvel.

Yesterday, the New York Post devoted many touching articles about the sudden death of James Gandolfini, but today it trots out its cabal of Italian dining spies who have the specifics about his final meal.

So the email account for ajd@defamer.com is inactive at the moment due to some (ahem) technical difficulties. Reach me here until it's back up. I would like to take this time to thank the many quality applicants who've submitted manifestos so far. If you've been summoned for a drink with me next week in Los Angeles, then that means things are going well for you. If you've received no response from me at this point, it's not a definitive indication that I don't think you're the right fit for the job but that's probably the case. Damn.

James Gandolfini has two movies coming out, both shot over the summer. Will he get the "Heath Ledger treatment" this awards season?
