It seems that Jamie-Lynn Sigler has made a triumphant return to TV after playing Meadow Soprano on HBO's The Sopranos for nearly eight years. Last night, the 27-year-old actress made her debut on the cable's Emmy Award-winning dramedy, Entourage, which earned rave reviews as she portrayed herself and a potential love interest for one of the boys. While Sigler's guest stint is getting a lot of attention from various media outlets, her rumored off-cam romance is making some big waves as well.
According to Life & Style magazine, Jamie-Lynn Sigler is reportedly dating Jerry Ferrara, also known as Turtle from Entourage. The two met on the set of Entourage when the Sopranos star shot her cameo role that will see her in a three-episode arc this season.

On General Hospital, he'll be playing the character named Maximus Giambetti, a big-time mob boss who is frustrated to learn that his firstborn son, Max, is not following in his footsteps.

The Sopranos may have ended its 8-year run on HBO but that doesn't mean that fans can't have what's left of the Emmy Award-winning mafia series. James Gandolfini, who played mob boss Tony Soprano, is selling his personal costume wardrobe in Popular Culture, a new auction category at Christie's that features iconic 20th and 21st century material from the worlds of film, rock and roll, celebrity, entertainment and sport.
For those who are not familiar with The Sopranos, the series was set and produced in New Jersey and revolved around mobster Tony Soprano and the difficulties he faced as he tried to balance the often conflicting requirements of his home life and the criminal organization he headed. Described as the most financially successful cable series in the history of television, the show earned many positive reviews and garnered numerous awards, including 21 Emmys and five Golden Globes.
