SOPRANOS - VINCENT PASTORE TO HOST HIS OWN RADIO SHOW

Former SOPRANOS star VINCENT PASTORE is set to host THE WISE GUY SHOW on America's SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO.

The "weekly three hour celebration" of Italian-American culture will feature Pastore interviewing fellow Italian-American guests on subjects as diverse as world events, movies and sex advice.

Pastore, or BIG PUSSY as he was known in The Sopranos, will premier his show this Saturday (27MAR04).

He says, "Big Pussy's with Sirius and we're going to get serious, period!

"The Wiseguy Show is like (fictional Soprano strip club) BADA BING on a Saturday night - a combination of music, talk, guest stars and cannoli."

The show will also feature music from FRANK SINATRA, DEAN MARTIN, AL MARTINO, JERRY VALE and others.
