REVEALED: "The Sopranos" Emmy winner James Gandolfini, 41, was sporting a mysterious lapel badge at Sunday night's ceremony. So, what did it say? "Vote Joe Renna, Freeholder, Union County," reports the New York Post. Renna, 42, of New Jersey, said Gandolfini's handmade button came as a shock to him, and an even bigger one to his wife, Tina, who noted that it seemed to be the only campaigning on the show. "No one was even wearing an Arnold button!" she said. Renna and Gandolfini were classmates together at Rutgers University 20 years ago.

RATED: Sunday's Emmys were a disappointment, attracting a below-average 17.7 million viewers on FOX, down from last year's 20 million, according to preliminary numbers from Nielsen Media Research. Still, that's slightly better than the 17.1 million who watched the twice-delayed 2001 awards, which aired in November on CBS opposite the World Series finale. Excluding the 2001 Emmys, the three-hour, 15-minute telecast was the least-watched since FOX hosted the Emmys in 1999. Adding further insult to injury, FOX did not win a single Emmy.

QUOTED: "Probably because there were so many comparisons already, which I thought was very flattering, but I never ever thought that Arnold should be in the movie or anything." -- The Rock (real name: Dwayne Johnson), 31, to the Boston Herald, on Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo role in the Rock's new movie, "Rundown"

CANNED: MTV's "The New Tom Green Show," a nightly talk show, has been yanked from the network's schedule because of low ratings, the network has confirmed.

OFFERED: Katharine Hepburn's Manhattan townhouse went on the block on Monday, for $4.95 million, reports Reuters.

She once told PEOPLE.com that she paid only $100 a month rent the first few years. "Pretty good, don't you think?" she boasted.
