PHOTO Restaurant from iconic last scene of Sopranos pays tribute to James Gandolfini

ByDarren O

After hearing of the tragic passing of James Gandolfini, I got into a conversation with a friend about the historical impact of his association to the indelible role of Tony Soprano. We concluded that while there may be some on par, no actor has ever been more closely tied to such an iconic TV character as Gandolfini was to Tony Soprano. While Twitter exploded with condolences and shock at the news, perhaps the most affecting tribute that has surfaced since the 51-year-old’s sudden death is a photo posted by Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionery. If you’re unfamiliar with the show then you need to get yourself familiar – but I’ll also warn you this all about spoilers…

VIDEO Stephen Colbert delivers emotional tribute to mom Lorna

ByDarren O

On last night’s Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert opened his show with a moving tribute to his mom Lorna Colbert, who passed away a week prior at the age of 92. During the emotional eulogy, Colbert often became overwhelmed as he told his viewers a little bit about the woman who shaped so much of who he is. While he spoke, a montage of images of Lorna Colbert were shown. I recently lost my mother and I found myself crying right along with Stephen as his recollections of his mom, and his outward grief over his family’s loss, closely resembled my own. See the video and if you can’t catch it where you’re at, I’ve transcribed it as well.
