We hope her Dior ensemble wasn’t wrinkled...

We hope her Dior ensemble wasn’t wrinkled on the ride: “Tired of men who don’t listen to me,” says a personal ad in the L.A. Reader. “Tall, beautiful runway model seeks caring and attentive man; looks unimportant.”

The runway model then adds: “Must be willing to listen to stories of alien abduction.”

Now we can all get on with our lives: MCA Inc. said Tuesday that it will be allowed to refer to its new attraction as Universal CityWalk or CityWalk as part of a settlement reached with Hu-Yu Inc.

Who’s Hu-Yu? It’s a San Fernando Valley company that filed suit because, it claimed, the MCA project would confuse customers of Hu-Yu’s two restaurants, which are called City Wok.

Neither side would say whether the settlement required MCA to give the restaurant chain a little walking-around money.

The one question Zoe Baird wasn’t asked: “The Big Earthquake Hits!!” says the headline of an ad in the latest issue of Burbank-based Parenting magazine. “Does your housekeeper really know what to do?”

Better wear gloves, just to be safe: Barry Yates of Woodland Hills suspects that a Valley restaurant meant to say it was offering a free “snack” in its flyer (see excerpt).

* The L.A. Department of Water and Power “went so far as to close the Hollywood Reservoir to walkers during America’s 1991 war with Iraq.”

* Frogtown, located along the L.A. River just north of downtown, is losing its namesake, “California’s native red-legged frog . . . in part because of a loss of breeding ground and because of a hostile takeover of turf by a carnivorous bullfrog from Africa.”

* The underground lair of TV’s Batman was not a movie set “but a real cave in the southwest corner of Griffith Park . . . in the area known as the Bronson Caves.”

* Geographical redundancies include “Montecito Hills (Little Hills Hills) and Rio Hondo River (Deep River River).
