Finally, after 16 absurdly-long months, The Sopranos returns to television this Sunday night, and if you’re Jamie-Lynn Sigler -- who plays mafia princess Meadow Soprano -- you’ve already started celebrating. (And we did spot Sigler getting pretty wily at Stereo last Saturday night.)

But the 24-year-old Long Island native (who, by the way, has no Italian blood in her -- rather Cuban, Jewish, and Greek) has extra reason to be amped. She also scored the role of everyone’s favorite madam in the made- for-TV movie Going Down: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss, which airs later this month. And she’s single again.

So, who better than Sigler to slide into a pair of smoking-hot jeans and run around town, road-testing them for us? We had her try some dark, boot-cut jeans from Genetic Denim, a six-month-old brand started by nightclub impresario Scott Sartiano (Butter, G Spa & Lounge), and his fellow Olsen-twin-ex-boyfriend, Ali Fatourechi. Yet, as Sigler attests, the two media-friendly fellas can also cut a mean pair of pants. Take into account, though, that Sigler has lately been getting kinda cozy with Sartiano.

We hear you love the Genetic jeans?
“They’ve become my absolute favorite in my closet right now. It's hard to find jeans that have a nice fitted look that don't stretch out after one or two wears, but Genetics don’t. They keep their nice tight fit. The wash that I have is really good and dark, so I can dress them up or down. Ali Fatourechi really knows what he is doing with the design and fit.”

What other jeans do you like?
“I really like Rock and Republic, Paper Denim, and True Religion.”

Where have you worn them?
“I wear them EVERYWHERE. I wore them with flip-flops and a cute top shopping one day. I also wore them with a Louis Verdad top and heels to the Escada Pacific Paradise fragrance launch party in LA. I wear them more than any other jeans…maybe 3 or 4 times a week.”

What are your NYC hangouts?
“I love Level V, Marquee, Butter, Bungalow 8, and now G Spa & Lounge, but I really don’t go out that much. [ed. note: yeah, right]. And to eat, I love Nobu, Barca 18, Dos Caminos, and Pizza 33 for late night!”

What else are you working on besides Sopranos?
“I did three movies last year -- Lovewrecked with Amanda Bynes, Chris Carmack and Johnathon Bennet; Under My Skin with Donald Faison, Whoopi Goldberg, Paul Mooney, Tony Rock and Joey Fatone; and a horror movie called Dark Ride.

Also, I have started up my foundation, which, for lack of creativity, is called The Jamie-Lynn Sigler Foundation. I work in conjunction with the National Eating Disorders Association. Our hope is to bring awareness and attention to eating disorders, and our major goal is to raise funds to get federal support for eating-disorder treatments to be covered by insurance. Right now, we have charm bracelets and necklaces being sold exclusively at Claire's and Icing stores across the country, to support the foundation. They have been in stores for two months and have sold out! So we are on our way, hopefully.”
