Toasting the hunks of Hollywood, the stars were out in New York City on Monday night (March 7) for Cosmopolitan Magazine's Fun Fearless Males of 2011 event.

Held at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Fun Fearless Male of the Year honoree Russell Brand brought his undeniable energy to the Big Apple soiree while joining up in the arrivals area with Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Kate White.

Also in attendance at the annual tribute to the fellas of Tinseltown were the latest batch of Fun Fearless Males special mentions including "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder, "Gossip Girl" actor Penn Badgley and "Thor" heartthrob Chris Hemsworth.

With NFL pro Chad Ochocinco and Old Spice beefcake Isaiah Mustafa making appearances at the Cosmo bash, as well, the celebrity-laden guest list was rounded out with a touch of female beauty thanks to "Black Swan" actress Mila Kunis.

Helen Mirren says she's come to adore Russell Brand, but at first she was "terrified" of working with the British comic because of his bad boy reputation.

The Oscar-winning actress stars with Russell in two new movies, The Tempest and Arthur, but admits she was worried about how she would get on with the reformed hellraiser.

During an appearance on British morning TV show Daybreak, she said: “I’m a bit infatuated with him. But I was terrified because, you know, it’s Russell Brand! Like the bad boy of bad boys. And I’m not a bad girl, I’m a good girl. And when good girls meet bad boys, terrible things can happen – mostly to the good girls.”

Despite her concerns, Helen and Russell -- who is married to Katy Perry -- struck up a great relationship on both sets and she has nothing but praise for him.

The 65-year-old star -- who plays Prospera in The Tempest, which is based on Shakespeare’s play of the same name -- said: “We did Arthur together which was really wonderful and it kind of sealed our relationship. And there I got to see what an amazing guy he is -- an incredible hard worker, kindest heart in the world, funny of course, he’s a great guy.”
