While many celebs go out of their way to antagonize the press, Mark Ruffalo had them eating out of his hand the other night. When bad weather kept his guests from attending Gotham magazine's screening of his new thriller, "Zodiac," Ruffalo invited reporters lingering outside in the cold to see the flick. He also passed out gift bags to the paparazzi. "When one photographer was late and missed the arrivals, Mark came back out so he could get his shot," our spy said. "Then, after the movie, he extended an invite for them to join him at the after-party at Cellar Bar in the Bryant Park Hotel. He was by far one of the nicest guys."
