Yet another reason to look forward to the upcoming "The Sopranos" season: Tina Yothers, splattered on the wall.
Next season, thanks to the kitsch-o-philes at HBO, the erstwhile "Family Ties" star will make her way from the "where are they now?" files and into the "what is she doing there?" files. Well, at least her face will.
The former child star now fronts a seven-piece band, Jaded, which will be featured on the mob drama. And while Yothers and band mates won't actually perform on the show, their mugs will be plastered on posters and fliers all over Janice Soprano's apartment.
"People can think what they want," Yothers, 27, recently said of her singing career. "I'm used to it. But when they come and listen to our band play, it doesn't take long for them to realize it's for real, that I'm very passionate about what I'm doing."
Hey, if it's good enough for Janice Soprano ...

Terrible noises
Note to Elizabeth Hurley's people: For God's sake, tell her to can the gab about her sex life already, will you?
Hugh Grant's ex has now revealed that while she was a late bloomer -- "the last girl to wear a bra, to kiss a boy" -- she did engage in friendly lip play with her sister Katie.
"We used to kiss each other," Hurley tells the U.K. Sun. "Her friend had said one person needed to blow and the other needed to suck. We practiced in our room. We used to make terrible noises."
So I guess Hugh shouldn't feel too bad about Liz's recent comment, "Not talking to Hugh would be like not talking to my sister." Right?

Juicy bits
Eject the Barry White CD, and pop in the ... Yanni? The New Age "musician" says many couples use his "music" to enhance the making of love.

Forget the epidural!
Just when you'd stopped wondering if Xena and that sidekick of hers were engaged in a little friendly swordplay of their own, "Xena: Warrior Princess" is turning in her weapon.
