Eva Mendes and Mark Wahlberg at The Other Guys World Premiere in NYC

“The Other Guys’” world premiere took place in NYC last night.  And the step-and-repeat seemed to go on for a lifetime – even with some cast members missing.

We rarely get THE premiere here in gotham – sometimes we get overlooked entirely.  Salt for instance!  So this truly was a big to do. 

Eva Mendes rocked a grey cocktail dress and black stilettos – the bow was diviine girl!, while her costars Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Ray Stevenson looked all so handsome.

But it was Ray Stevenson who caught my attention.  Why, you may ask?  Well you might recall him from the HBO “Rome” series.  He played that kickass alpha-male with a heart of gold.  On the carpet he exuded testosterone and I was giddywith excitement.  I swear I wanted to leap into his arms and find myself protected and manhandled!  (Don’t you judge now…)

Also in attendance were the yummy Bobby Cannavale, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans Jr. and Mr. Samuel L. Jackson – who I happened to spot at Jones Beach a few weeks ago sporting a Speedo.  No, I didn’t have time to snap a photo.  The camera is not attached to a limb I tell y’all!

Other notable attendees:  Brooke Shields, Lindsay Sloan, Jimmy Fallon, Rob Thomas, Zoe Lister Jones – wearing what can only be described as a “American Pie faux-pas – and Tess Kartel.
