In Cars 2 (in theaters this weekend), Oscar-winning British actor Michael Caine voices an animated 1966 Aston Martin. Caine’s real ride back in those days? A Rolls-Royce. “It was the ’60s — everybody was a bit flashy,” says Caine, 78, who begins filming the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, this month. “But I don’t drive them anymore.

Rocco DiSpirito, then 11 years old, knew cooking was his passion. “To this day, the thing I enjoy most is to cook for people,” says the 44-year-old chef/restaurateur/cookbook author, whose new Bravo series, Rocco’s Dinner Party, airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET. “It’s about making people happy.”
