Disney’s “Shake It Up” star Zendaya is not street legal to drive yet (she’s 15), but she’s thinking ahead. She came right from the set to Thursday’s opening of the Audi Beverly Hills dealership in Beverly Hills, posing with Matt LeBlanc. The shiny opening spread out over both sides of Wilshire Boulevard.
Former Yankees and Dodgers manager Joe Torre was also on the scene. This is an unusual March with Torre not hunkered down in spring training.
A week before a 26.2 mile stretch of the city is shut down for the LA Marathon, John Varvatos...

Awards Season Guest Stars (and Regulars) at WIF:
“Have a wonderful weekend and try to avoid hangovers on Sunday,” Gwyneth Paltrow advised the crowd of nominees at Women In Film’s cocktail party on Friday night.
Blythe Danner watched from off to the side as Paltrow added, “We need to do more to help women produce films and be in films, because we’re smarter than men and better than men.”
Many of this year’s recurring cast of Awards faces were in attendance for Paltrow’s advice: Spencer, Viola Davis (with a sudden new short hairstyle that will be a telecast red carpet talking point if she keeps it until Sunday), Letty Aronson, Jessica Chastain (“saving her voice for the weekend”), Shailene Woodley, and Allison Janney all...

Her hope is that someone with proven greenlight power would cash in freebie trip to the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort in the South Pacific -- one of those that has bungalows over the water -- and get inspired to the next destination-based Valentine.
“Not until ‘The Descendants’ did they capture the essence of living in Hawaii,” Marshall told TheWrap. “I know it, I lived there. Tahiti is ready for its moment.”
“I’ve taken the flight, and it’s like Pan Am in the 1960s,” seconded Bryan...

After Thursday night’s premiere of Hyundai and the Grammy’s Re:Generation Music Project documentary at Grauman’s, Grammy winner Mark Ronson deferred to the manic Corey Feldman-esque energy of 24-year-old producer Skrillex, on his left.

Indianapolis may host an iconic annual auto race in which the contestants drive in a circle for 500 miles, but it is home to zero pop-culture reality shows.
There's never been a "Real Housewives of Indianapolis", an "A-list Indianapolis", or even a "Real World, Indy." With this weekend's Super Bowl bringing the pop culture focus to the Midwest, the question for many marketers who considered hosting events is: "If Bravo's never been there, is it worth going?"
For media and entertainment brands with a major stake in the NFL, like DirecTV, ESPN, and Audi, and even some without...

“It came through the studio,” she told TheWRAP at McDonald’s premiere party for the new Chicken McBites on Thursday night.
While the announcement from the Academy was the first, Covey said she’s known since before Christmas. “Brian Grazer thought it would be fun. We’re not stupid; we’re going to do it.”
Last year the comedic actress watched at home. “I was sitting two inches from my television with my Chex Mix…that’s kind of my process,” she...
