Selena Gomez and Paul Rudd are in Atlanta filming "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving." The other night, they learned the fundamentals of pizza making.
Rudd has filmed "Wanderlust," "Anchorman 2" and "Ant-Man" here, and he's become a fan of Antico. When he and his co-star stopped into the acclaimed pizza joint last week, owner Giovanni Di Palma invited them into the kitchen and put them to work.
“We’re having fun,” Di Palma told us as he juggled his phone and pizza dough.
The movie is based on the novel by the same name. “A man suffering an incredible amount of loss enrolls in a class about care-giving that changes his perspective on life,” is the plot, per imdb.com.

Date night at Davio’s
Singer Keri Hilson and NBA pro Serge Ibaka dined at Davio's Sunday night. If they go back Thursday night, they could score some free nibbles. The Phipps Plaza restaurant has a frozen promotion going. When it's below freezing outside, show your phone (presumably with a weather app queued up) to the bartender and you're in for one free order of spring rolls. Choose from Philly cheese steak, chicken Parmesan, Buffalo chicken, Reuben or shrimp cotija. The special is available from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m and from 5 to 11 p.m Monday through Friday, in the bar area only, through Feb. 28. It's supposed to drop below the teens Thursday night.
