Zac Efron Pumps, The Band Rush Bumps; Ashlee Simpson Throws Party, Elle Fanning's Never Tardy

What stars have you seen in and around The S.C? Tell us below!

Zac Efron not only is turning heads pumping iron, but he turned a few heads this past week by pumping gas at the 7-Eleven and Studio City Mobil. The hunk at the pump has kept up his pumped-up physique that he worked up for The Lucky One. It may not have been so lucky for him box office-wise, but it certainly transformed him from cute boy to leading hunk. Anyway, the shutterbugs at FlameFlynet Pictures snapped the shots of him in loose khakis and a tight black T-shirt (along with a woman who was gawking nearby) and they're all on Zimbio (click here.) . . . 

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz threw a superhero-themed party over the weekend for their adorable son Bronx and there were a few super-celebs in attendance. The CelebBabyLaundry.com site (click here) has the full series of shots, and details of Nicole Richie and her daughter showing up at The COOP, which is a known celeb party site for famous children. . . .

PINZ Bowling often has super-secret celeb events and closes for private parties, but this past Sunday some of the regular league bowlers were unceremoniously bumped off the lanes. They wouldn't even let the league regulars finish their game at two lanes, nope they had to leave. Who were they? They were members of the band Rush. (Check out their past and present photos in the gallery above.) Not only did they play locally, and appear at the American Music Awards, but the band members were also spotted all week at local restaurants . . . (Oh, and speaking of locals doing good, congrats to Justin Bieber for cleaning up at the AMAs!) . . .

Finally, Elle Fanning is known for her promptness and seriousness about being on time (so say a few of the friends she knows at Campbell Hall where she goes to school). The 14-year-old actress was popping back and forth to parties and premieres and screenings and red carpet events of her sister Dakota Fanning's latest movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and then promoting her own movie Ginger and Rosa. But, that doesn't mean she can't stop in for a local snack at K’s Donut Emporium in Studio City. She was caught in her school girl outfit by our buddies at JustJared.com (see the full spread here).

ok. have now spent some time navigating the new patch. i hope everyone will give it a chance. it'sRead More growing on me. i think once everyone is more familiar with the new version they'll like it too.

@MikeSzymanski I must admit that I haven't been able to detect a new format. Where is the format?Read More Who designed this? All I can tell is that there is a beautiful shot of trees -- perfect! Under that banner all hell breaks lose and you can't tell what you're looking it. There might be a huge blowup of Mr. Walker or a too big notice of something official-looking -- possibly an agenda. I have not been able to navigate through all the stuff. Lots of white space on either side which gives me impression that we're tailoring a community paper more toward an iphone or smart phone (or a tablet). Maybe I need a GPS to find a good list of contents here. In the meantime, it's not very attractive (exception for the banner trees photo) nor entertaining and not very informative. Scotty Reston, where are you now that we need you?

the picture selected is nice and it well suits the page. it would be nice to see the full pic. tooRead More bad so much of it is blocked from the top portion of the content....any chance of seeing the full picture and starting the content beneath it?

I find this very disconcerting. Mel Randall who is on the Land Use Committee was asked to submit hisRead More name. We assumed qualifications would be checked and then those best suited would be chosen. Two entries of the same name is in itself so bad makes me feel that all of this should be redone.

I was at the meeting last night and saw all I need to see on how our neighborhood council work. TheyRead More had a drawing for the grievance panel. WHAT A SHAM!! They drew 1 guys name twice and rather than stop the proceedings and make sure that the names in the hat were legitimate and no other duplicates exist and redo the drawing, they just drew another name. Now it probably was just a fluke but the appearance of a rigged drawing is there and it taints the whole council and it proceedings. It is very apparent why we need a grievance panel in the first place. When the appearance of corruption exists at the lowest levels of our democratic process it is no wonder that the whole system is collapsing before our eyes. Our neighborhood council should hang their heads in shame!
