MANHATTAN — Actress Eva Mendes glowed at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her new film "Last Night," which counted festival co-founder Robert De Niro among its attendees.

The film, in which Mendes attempts to woo Sam Worthington ("Avatar") from his fictional Mrs. Keira Knightley ("Atonement"), drew a spate of colorful celebrities including Miss USA Rima Fakih, rocker Courtney Love and singer-turned-Psychic Friends Network spokeswoman Dionne Warwick. Locals Russell Simmons and Liev Schreiber were also in attendance at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.

Later that night, the BMCC Tribeca played host to actor Adrien Brody, who premiered his new film "Detachment" about a substitute teacher in the American public school system. Co-star Blythe Danner and director Tony Kayne ("American History X") also showed for the event.

Meanwhile at the SVA Theater in Chelsea, former Black Sabbath frontman and avian nemesis Ozzy Osbourne spoke about the upcoming documentary "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne." Ozzy's son Jack Osbourne, whose profanity-laden youth became reality TV fodder, joined the Prince of Darkness on the Tribeca Film Festival panel as one of the film's producers.

Back in TriBeCa, actress Chloe Sevigny flashed her best "Blue Steel" for photographers at the Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner.

Actors Naomi Watts, Zach Braff and Matthew Modine were also there for the dinner, which took place at The Odeon on West Broadway.
