SUNDAY, APRIL 8: It's the beginning of the end for fans of HBO's critically acclaimed mob drama The Sopranos, which wraps up its sixth season with nine final episodes. The question everybody wants an answer to: Will Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) survive? Or will he get whacked? Among the other pivotal plots points cropping up: Just how will Christopher's (Michael Imperioli) Mafia-inspired horror movie fare among his mob pals? And will Tony's brother-in-law (Steve Schirripa) pass the boss's test during a hit job? Tune in to find out (9 p.m. ET).
MONDAY, APRIL 9: You can call her Professor Crow. Sheryl Crow is spreading her message about saving the environment on the two-week Stop Global Warming College Tour, which kicks off at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. She'll perform while environmental-activist pal Laurie David (wife of Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David) will deliver remarks about the environment along with clips from Al Gore's Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The tour winds down on April 22 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
TUESDAY, APRIL 10: Talk about a Renaissance woman. First, supermodel Paulina Porizkova took ballroom dancing for a twirl on Dancing with the Stars (and was the first celebrity to be ousted this season). And now she's turned author with her debut novel, A Model Summer. The heroine is a teen model in Paris, something the Czech-born former catwalker can relate to. "It's my experiences, but filtered," she tells PEOPLE. "She's more timid. I was a wild child." And expect more literary offerings from Porizkova. "I'm way too old and fat to model now. But for a writer, I'm pretty damn young and hot!"
THURSDAY, APRIL 12: Mandy Moore will help pay tribute to young leaders under the age of 25 from around the country when she performs at the BRICK Awards (airing on The CW, 9 p.m. ET), which recognizes their humanitarian efforts and awards them with a $10,000 grant to continue their do-gooding work. (Four finalists will claim a $25,000 grant). For more information, visit the show's official Web site.
