Cameron Diaz was all smiles at the red carpet premiere of her new comedy “What Happens in Vegas” at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood Thursday night, in her first public appearance since the unexpected death of her father Emilio on April 16. She joined her co-star Ashton Kutcher in a rousing game played out on the crowded streets in front of the theater, as two huge bleachers full of fans - one Cameron’s team, the other Ashton’s - vied for premiere tickets by screaming out their adoration of the two stars.

Cameron Diaz, looking fabulous in a short, body-skimming coral-toned dress and high black pumps, also happily greeted the film’s other co-stars, Lake Bell, Dennis Farina, Treat Williams and Rob Corddry, with big hugs and kisses. Kutcher, who apparently left wife Demi Moore at home with the kids, looked sharp, too, in a dark plaid jacket and slacks.

But despite the fact that Ashton did not bring his wife along to the premiere of the romantic comedy about a couple that marries in Vegas the night they meet, then immediately regrets it, he made it clear to reporters at an earlier press day to promote the film that in his personal life, he has no such regrets.

“I never thought in my life I would get married,” the 30-year-old admitted. “I watched my parents go through a divorce and I thought This is just not what people are supposed to do.’”

But then his path crossed with Demi Moore, and all bets were off.

“I never really understood the whole idea of marriage until I met my wife. I just knew that was the person I was going to be with for the rest of my life. I knew that I had that desire. I took the time then to understand it a little bit more of what it was about and I love it,” he said. “I might be the most happily, I don’t know if happiliest is a word, I just made up a new word. I am the happiliest married man on the planet.”

Joining Kutcher at the premiere was another famous face whose recent wedding was the talk of the town. Eva Longoria Parker came sans hubby Tony Parker, who is headed to New Orleans for the second round of the NBA playoffs. She greeted super-tall Vince Vaughn and Oscar winner Diablo Cody on the carpet, then all trooped into the theater to see just how well Cameron and Ashton paired up in the film.

Kutcher is pretty confident that audiences will love the combination; in fact, he happily likened “What Happens in Vegas” to one of Hollywood’s all time classic screwball comedies.

“What I feel like this reminded me of the most is ‘Bringing Up Baby,’” he commented proudly. “Vegas” opens on May 9, so that’s when the world can judge whether Diaz and Kutcher are their generation’s Hepburn and Grant.

Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history Sunday, taking the Indy Japan 300 after the top contenders were forced to pit for fuel in the final laps. Patrick finished 5.8594 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Helio Castroneves on the 1.5-mile Twin Ring Motegi oval after leader Scott Dixon pitted with five laps left and Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan came in a lap later.

“It’s a long time coming. Finally,” Patrick said. “It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I knew I was on the same strategy as Helio and when I passed him for the lead, I couldn’t believe it. This is fabulous.”

The 26-year-old Patrick won in her 50th career IndyCar start, taking the lead from Castroneves on the 198th lap in the 200-lap race.

“I think Danica is such a fantastic person and I’m thrilled for her that the monkey is finally off of her back,” said Michael Andretti, co-owner of Andretti Green Racing. “We have all believed in her and she proved today that she is a winner. Frankly, I think this is the first of many.”

Dixon took the lead from Castroneves on the 93rd lap in the race pushed back to Sunday because of wet track conditions Saturday, but gave up the spot to pit for fuel. “We led for a lot of laps but came up short,” Dixon said. “But congratulations to Danica for her first victory.”

Danica Patrick, who started from the third row and made her final pit stop on lap 148, stayed close to the leaders throughout the race. Patrick went from fourth to second place on lap 197 after Wheldon and Kanaan went into the pit on lap 196. She was as low as eighth place on the 189th lap.

“I knew there was a good reason for coming to Japan,” Patrick said. “I want to thank my team, the fans and everyone who supported me.” Dixon was third, 10.0559 seconds behind Patrick. Wheldon was fourth, and Kanaan finished fifth.

Castroneves, awarded the pole position after qualifying was rained out Friday, said Patrick ran a great race. “With five laps to go, I was saving fuel,” Castroneves said. “When Danica passed me, I realized she was the leader. She did a great job, passed me fair and square and that shows you how competitive our series is.”

Patrick finished a career-best seventh in the season standings last year, and was second in the race at Detroit’s Belle Isle.

At the 2005 Indy 500, she nearly won the pole and became the first female driver to lead the race en route to a fourth-place finish. It was the best finish by a woman at Indy, and helped her take rookie of the year honors.
