Denise Borino-Quinn Dies...
Denise Borino-Quinn, who played a memorably overweight Mafia wife
on The Sopranos, died Wednesday after a lengthy battle with liver
cancer, said the Farmer Funeral Home in Roseland, N.J.
Denise, who was 46, was a showbiz beginner when she attended an
open casting session in 2000. The producers of the hit HBO series
were searching for someone to fill the role of Ginny, the wife of
Johnny Sacrimoni ("aka "Johnny Sacks").
Denise, who accompanied a friend to the casting session, was
surprised when she was picked ? from among 14,000 wannabes.
"I think I was in total shock when I got the call!" she told a
Sopranos fan Web site. "I totally freaked out! My father must
have called all our relatives that night! To this day I still
can?t believe this happened to me."
In her episodes, which aired in October 2002, Ginny Sacrimoni
professed to be on a diet, and her tough-guy husband brutally
retaliated against someone who dared to make a wisecrack about
his beloved wife's weight. Only afterwards did Johnny discover
that Ginny was sneaking candy and snacks that she had hidden
throughout their house.
Denise worked at a law firm in New Brunswick when she was not
acting.
Sadly, her husband, Luke Quinn Jr., whom she married shortly
before being hired for The Sopranos, died last March.

Ben Stiller's Kids Give Back with Lemonade Stand...
It's a lesson Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor are passing
down by to their kids: Even when life doesn't give you lemons,
make lemonade.
The powerhouse comedic couple encourages their children, Ella,
8, and Quinlin, 5, to give back, which led their daughter to
start her own lemonade stand.
"They raised $120 ? I think a few parents stopped by and dropped
twenties," Christine, 39, said at recent New York fundraiser for
Project A.L.S. "It was great, and it's important for their self-
esteem too."
Ben, 44, shares her sentiment, saying the couple tries to set a
good example for their children because "they pick up the good
things you do and the bad things you do."
"When you're lucky enough to have things in your life and you're
brought up with that, it's hard for kids to know what it's like
not to have that because that's just not their reality," says
the Tropic Thunder star. "You just try to point it out and try
to make them aware."
Also in the parent-child lesson plan: proper forms of expression.
Says Ben: "I'm always telling them, 'Don't say "like." ' Like,
seriously, don't do it."

Randy Travis and Wife Divorce...
One of country music's longest-lasting couples have called it quits.
After 19 years, Randy Travis, 51, and his manager/wife Elizabeth
"Lib" Travis have ended their marriage."The divorce was finalized
as of this morning," spokesperson Maureen O'Connor confirmed.
The couple filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Santa
Fe, NM. The court papers say a state of incompatibility exists
between the two parties.
In a statement, the rep says, "Elizabeth and Randy Travis have
agreed to part ways. Elizabeth will remain Mr. Travis' personal
manager. They do not intend to comment any further and ask for
your respect for their privacy during this time."
The pair married in secret in 1991 after dating for more than a
decade.
Elizabeth has been credited with turning around both Randy's life
and career.
She saved him from a five-year prison stint for breaking into a
convenience store. Convincing the judge to release him into her
custody, Randy lived with Elizabeth and her then-husband.
Already unhappy in her former marriage at the time, Elizabeth
has said, "Randy might have given me the courage to leave a
bad situation, but Randy did not break up the marriage."
Elizabeth further guided Randy's career, with Randy once saying,
"She is energetic, witty, intelligent and very kindhearted."

they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment
will be made."
Lily, 25, announced a few weeks ago that the baby, a boy, was due in
January. This is her second such heartbreak, coming almost three
years after she suffered a miscarriage during her relationship with
musician Ed Simons.
Lily and Sam, an upmarket decorator, had announced their pregnancy in
August. Lily had also Tweeted a pic of herself excitedly holding up a
newspaper with the good news.
Lily has spoken of having children as "ultimately my main goal" in

Nick Lachey Is Real-Life Wedding Singer...
When Torque actor Will Yun Lee married actress Jennifer Birmingham,
he enlisted the help of a few celebrity friends to mark the occasion.
With bridesmaids Vanessa Minnillo, Kate Beckinsale and The Price is
Right's Rachel Reynolds on one side of the aisle, and groomsmen Joe
Hahn from Linkin Park, Ryan Martin from APA and director Len Wiseman
on the other, the couple exchanged vows in front of 200 guests in
Shreveport, La.
"The best moment of our wedding was having everyone we love in one
place at the same time, sharing our day with us," Lee says.
The bride wore a custom gown by Carlyn Calloway and carried a
bouquet of white roses as she walked down a lantern-lit aisle.
At the reception, Nick Lachey took to the stage and serenaded the
newlyweds with a few songs. His performance included the couple's
first dance to Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and Stevie
Wonder's classic "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours."
"Nick sang one of our all time favorite songs, 'Wonderful Tonight,'
" says Lee. "But he changed up some of the lyrics to make it
really personal. It was amazing."
The wedding reception, planned by event planner Nealy Digilormo,
included a photo booth with fun costumes and Southern Maid Donuts
as a late-night snack.
The happy couple, who have been together for 4½ years, were sent
off with hundreds of sparklers and candles before leaving their
reception in a 1950s Chevrolet convertible.
"We love being married," says Lee. "And now [Jennifer] can legally
boss me around."
Jennifer currently plays Alison on The Young and the Restless.
Lee, who co-starred on NBC's TV series Bionic Woman, will next
