  1. Sprinkled with smarts

    <strong>The gig:</strong> Sprinkles Cupcakes, the Beverly Hills chain beloved by bold-faced Hollywood names such as Tom Cruise and Ryan Seacrest, launched in 2005 with six workers, including founders Candace and Charles Nelson. The company has since expanded to 400 employees in 14 U.S. stores, two of which focus on ice cream instead of cupcakes. At its original Beverly Hills store last year, the Nelsons opened their first around-the-clock cupcake ATM, dispensing more than 1,000 of the treats a day. Sprinkles also peddles cupcakes out of a food truck and sells mixes at Williams-Sonoma stores. Candace is a judge on the Food Network show "Cupcake Wars."

  21. Book review: 'Nicholas Ray' by Patrick McGilligan

    Nicholas Ray faced a roomful of  film students. They had come to learn from the director who'd made James Dean an icon in "Rebel Without a Cause" and a gunslinger of Joan Crawford in the distaff western "Johnny Guitar." Ray began a mock exercise in filming a scene and the reverential students waited for his instructions &#8212; and they waited. Ray fell inexplicably silent. Minutes passed, then hours, and finally the students left, bewildered by the tall, frail man with an eye patch and wild, white hair.
