Joyful Heart Founder and President, Mariska Hargitay was on hand at the 2010 Joyful Heart Foundation Gala in New York last night along with her smoking hot costar Christopher Meloni who looks different but I can’t put me finger on what the difference is.  Did he lose weight? Something’s different.  Tamara Tunie also showed her support to her friend and costar.

The foundation’s mission:

The Joyful Heart Foundation works to foster a community that turns toward the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Such a community, empowered with knowledge, courage and compassion, can support survivors of this violence and engage in an open dialogue about how to collaboratively end the cycle of violence and abuse.

Also attending:

• Cyndi Lauper
• Debra Messing
• Eric Lewis
• Hilary Swank
• Jill Hennessy
• Marcia Gay Harden
• Maria Bello
• Matthew Morrison
• Rosie Perez

True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard leaves Lemonade in West Hollywood after having lunch with friends.  I don’t care if he was selling weiners from a hot dog cart.  Dude looks smoking hot.  I need to get me some of that.

Johnny Knoxville is out and about in Brentwood.  He’s got a nice physique.

Jessica Alba takes her car to the car wash.  And I thought my life was uneventful.

Julie Benz leaves Lemonade in West Hollywood after having lunch with friends.  Is it deja vu?  No it’s not.  Perhaps she is so happy and giddy because she either saw Alexander Skarsgard or had lunch with him.  I’m not sure the current status but apparently in 2008 she was dating Vice President of Marketing for Warner Bros. Television Rich Orosco.
