MANHATTAN — Former action heartthrob Val Kilmer looked less like Batman and more like celebrity chef Mario Batali at the Wednesday premiere of his film, "MacGruber."

The recently portly actor played villain Dieter Von Cunth in the satirical action flick, which was screened at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema on the Lower East Side.

"MacGruber" stars Kristen Wiig, Will Forte and Ryan Phillippe, who all also attended the premiere of the film, which is the first "SNL" movie since 2000's horror show, "The Ladies Man."

Former "Saved by the Bell" heartthrob Mark-Paul Gosselaar was there as well, picking up the sexy slack left by Kilmer.

Uptown at Lincoln Center, CBS held its annual Upfront, an industry event where the network announced its fall primetime schedule.

"How I Met Your Mother" stars Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smolders were on hand for the affair, as was less-than-fresh looking co-star Josh Radnor.

"The Good Wife's" Julianna Margulies, "NCIS" stars LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell, and "The Big Bang Theory's" Johnny Galecki, formerly of "Roseanne" fame were also in attendance.

Tom Selleck, whose mustache apparently prevents him from aging, appeared with Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan, co-stars from his upcoming show "Blue Bloods" about a family of New York cops.

The actors were joined by "Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains" contestants Rupert Boneham, Russell Hantz, James Clement, Jerry Manthey, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Benjamin "The Dragon Slayer" Wade and Parvati Shallow, who behaved as though they were still on the island.

Rupert wore his signature rainbow tank top, James wore no top at all and "The Dragon Slayer" practiced tai chi.

Meanwhile, at Radio City Music Hall, legend Diana Ross performed in what appeared to be the pelt of a "Monster's Inc." cast member.
