Violator Management President, Mona Scott. One of the women featured in this year's summit The National Association of Black Female Executives in Music and Entertainment (NABFEME), a network of the music and entertainment industry's top executives, announced recently that they plan to throw their 5th Annual International Women's Leadership Summit. During the event, some of the industry's most successful female entrepreneurs are set to tackle technology, piracy, moral responsibility and the many other issues that present a risk to the music and entertainment industry. From entry to senior management levels, women from around the globe are expected to attend the summit at the Hilton Charlotte Center City in Charlotte, North Carolina from October 3rd to the 7th. The three day event will include informative panels, career development workshops, and exclusive entertainment events, specifically customized for the female executive. NABFEME has assembled an elite list of female power throughout the music and entertainment industry including Lorraine Bracco (actress HBO's "The Sopranos"), Lisa Ellis (Executive VP of Sony Music Group), Mona Scott (President of Violator Management), and Alexis Levi (basketball owner and CEO of the Las Vegas Stars). Additionally, brand strategist and publicity guru, L. Marilyn Crawford (President of Primetime Omnimedia) has been named the summit's ambassador. "NABFEME's commitment to the creation of alliances that will assist attendees in achieving their personal and professional goals will be evident at our leadership summit," said Johnnie Walker, founder and President of NABFEME. "We will present the most powerful women in the entertainment industry, in an empowering and nurturing environment that will honor their achievements and allow them to discuss and share their experiences with their peers and our industry's future executives." As a part of the event series, The Women's Leadership Summit will present its staple events: "Women Who Jam," an all female concert showcasing the talent of signed and unsigned female artists; and The Mentor Luncheon: A Salute to the Celebrity Mom, an event that honors mothers of today's top celebs.

Added: May 20th “A Change of Pace” and “I Hate It When It Gets Dark Early” by Edward Pomerantz and “Come On” by Susan Charlotte Lorraine Bracco, who is the psychiatrist on “The Sopranos,” appeared in all three one act plays. Now that her stint on the famous series is over, it is time for her to return to her roots: the theatre. She needs some reminding about projecting her voice; the microphone is no longer directly over her head! The plays by Edward Pomerantz about marriage were quite funny; the one by Susan Charlotte which also had John Shea in it was very clever; a story of an after-sex breakup with Shea only saying “come on” throughout was quite humorous. An enjoyable afternoon and one of their better programs. The lunch still was terrible! Can’t they have some type of casserole? Greek salad? tuna-pasta salad?

THE SOPRANOS star LORRAINE BRACCO has announced plans to launch her own brand of wines. The 51-year-old actress, who has been a wine fan for several years, plans to release the bottled beverages early next year (06). She says "It will start with small quantities and they will be out in stores in January." Bracco, who went to Italy for tastings as she did research for her brand, adds, "You have to (go wine-tasting) when your palate is fresh. So trust me, at 10am, it is not that glamorous and exciting."

CALDWELL – Television actress Lorraine Bracco, who portrays psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi on the HBO series “The Sopranos,” will address her own experience with mental illness at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6 when the Mental Health Association of Essex County (MHAEC) hosts its annual President’s Club lecture in the Alumni Theater at Caldwell College. Bracco will describe how she misunderstood, suffered with and eventually sought treatment for depression, a mental illness that affects 17 million Americans – nearly one in 10 – every year. Bracco’s presentation for the MHAEC will emphasize the importance of recognizing and seeking professional help for emotional and mental illness, as well as the crucial role the public has in acknowledging and understanding the legitimacy of all mental diseases. Bracco’s professional resume includes Broadway, film and television and she has been nominated for many of acting’s highest honors, including an Academy Award for her role in the 1990 film “Goodfellas,” and Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild awards for her recurring “Sopranos” role as Dr. Melfi.

Get ready for a unique tie-in between a TV star and a product. Lorraine Bracco, who plays Dr. Melfi on "The Sopranos," is getting her own wine. Bracco Estates is the name of an Italian vintage that will have its debut in October. Made in Tuscany, Bracco Estates will offer at the very least a tasty Brunello. More details will follow this fall, after Lorraine gets back from meeting the owners of the winery where Bracco Estates will be bottled. Bracco told me on Sunday at the premiere of Curtis Hanson 's new movie, "In Her Shoes" — which she attended with her brother Sal, family friends and sports equipment guru Jeffrey Modell — that she's in the middle of filming episode six of the new "Sopranos" season. But no one's mentioned the possibility of a seventh season yet, even though this column reported some months ago that there have been recent rumblings from creator David Chase. "From your lips to God's ear," Bracco said. "No one wants it to end." Chase is probably in that category himself. According to the New York Post, he just signed a lease on an $18,000-a-month apartment on the Upper West Side. He also owns a home in the south of France. I'm told some incentive for a seventh season might be private plane rides back and forth from New York. Sounds worth it to me.
