James Gandolfini, best known for his role as Tony Soprano, is recovering at his home after being hospitalized.

According to his spokesperson, Gandolfini had minor laparoscopic surgery but was not specific about the ailment.

His doctor, Dr. James McGinty, performed the surgery at St. Luke’s Roosevelt hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday.  Gandolfini is reportedly recovering comfortably at his home.

I’ve had laparoscopic surgery a couple times actually. I’m on my third belly button. No kidding. After every surgery they sew your belly button back up and it takes on a slightly new look each time. I suppose it’s better than getting sliced up. But I kinda miss belly button #2..

You’ll see Brad Pitt playing a stoned loser and James Gandolfini as, of course, a mob thug who’s hunting down stolen drugs.
