Gandolfini's Next Role: Effeminate God of Drink?

Perhaps tired of playing the old hetero hairy-backed knuckle-dragging brute, James Gandolfini announced he'll be the next Bacchus for N'Awlins's Krewe of Bacchus parade which takes place two days before the general chaos of drunken tit-flashing known as the Mardi Gras parade takes place on Feb. 20th. Aw screw it, there'll be plenty drunken tit-flashing during the Krewe of Bacchus, which is the more democratic of the holiday pageants. Let's just hope there's no Gandolfini boobage. Tony Soprano will join the ranks of Steve Guttenberg (Bacchus XXIII, 1991), John Larroquette (Bacchus XXVII, 1995) and Nicholas Cage (Bacchus XXXVI, 2002).
Safe to say Gandolfini's arrived.
