Carrie Anne Moss is fit and fabulous. The Matrix star strutted her toned stuff at the Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami Saturday night. The Canadian actress and mother of three, 45, partook in a Q&A for her indie, Mexican dramedy The Boy Who Smells Like Fish, about a young man suffering from an odd malady, for the Miami International Film Festival.

Also in attendance: the film’s costar Zoe Kravitz, the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet.

New goals

Carnie Wilson burned some calories Saturday night at Magic City Casino performing with her old band Wilson Phillips (sister Wendy Wilson and Chynna Phillips). But, really, weight doesn’t matter so much anymore. She told People she’s at peace with her body. “I’m not striving for perfection. This has to be for the rest of my life,” said Carnie, who lost 40 pounds due to lap band surgery in January 2012. “Every year I’m making more progress now — and that’s my goal.”

Oui, oui

Cast members from French reality show The Angels of Reality will show up for a bowl-a-thon 5-7 p.m. Thursday at Diamond Strike Lanes in Pompano Beach. The premise: a group of attractive people are filmed while living in a mansion in South Beach as they pursue the American dream: nabbing careers in the modeling, entertainment and fashion industries. Guests can be filmed if they like or bowl for $10; proceeds benefit a pet charity in France.

Live and let live

Instead of just meeting reality stars, be one. On Thursday from 6-10 p.m. you can audition to be a part of Survivor. CBS4 and Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino are sponsoring an open casting call for the next installment of this seemingly never-ending series, to be shot in the Philippines from May to August. Go to the Sport of Kings area within the park, 901 S. Federal Hwy., Hallandale Beach. Organizers say each person should plan to speak for two minutes about why you are awesome. Don’t forget photo IDs.

    Stevie Wonder sings at his own birthday bash

    Stevie Wonder celebrated his 63rd birthday a week after the big day (May 13) with a private concert for almost 700 high rollers, VIP guests and media types Tuesday night at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The legendary Wonder performed for well over two hours, singing covers by The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Bob Marley as well as his own greatest hits. Wonder also invited some of the audience, this writer included, to audition for him on his hit, Part Time Lover. While he told us we were better than the previous, uh, contestant, we’ll be keeping the full time day job.

    Amanda Bynes: hot mess extraordinaire

    The term “hot mess” doesn’t come close to describing Amanda Bynes. The troubled actress appeared disheveled in a long blond wig and sweats Friday in a criminal court where she was charged with reckless endangerment. She was also charged with attempted tampering with evidence and unlawful possession of marijuana, all misdemeanors.
