"Heroes" star Masi Oka is the anti-Seal -- sticking up for the paps outside STK. 
He was also weirdly interested in what it's like being a paparazzo, barraging TMZ's photog with questions as he waited for his car.

TMZ asked Jose Canseco, the pumped-up former baseballer, if he knew who the "biggest juicer" was in MLB today, and sadly, he wasn't in the know. "Wild 'N Out" star Nick Cannon had something to say about a different juice, Mr. O.J. Simpson, telling TMZ to "Stop messin' with him!"
Also seen in L.A.: Masi Oka with "Borat" sidekick Ken Davitian, a "stylish" Fred Willard, "chubby chaser" Carson Kressley, and a smiling (not spitting) Avril Lavigne.
In NY: Sexy "Good Luck Chuck" co-stars Jessica Alba and Dane Cook at TRL, where Ashanti was spotted as well. Also, an impatient Steven Van Zandt outside Pastis.

Cabana in Hollywood was safe from world destruction as cast members from "Heroes" made an appearance. Masi Oka showed autograph seekers some love. Save the fans, save your show! Also on the scene being friendly to folks was co-star Adrian Pasdar and his Dixie Chick wife, Natalie Maines, giving out free hugs.
Tyrese was spotted as he was solicited by some old dude to go for a ride. Hitchhiking can be bad for your health! And a so-handsome-you-wanna-slap-your-mama rapper, Common, was seen at a Target event at One Sunset along with Kanye West and "Reno 911's" slimmed down Niecy Nash. Get em' girl!

Here's the secret to getting "Brothers & Sisters" uber-hunk Rob Lowe excited -- be a TMZ cameraman!
The former Brat Packer was spotted outside Waverly Inn & Garden in New York last night, where he was genuinely elated to have a run-in with our photog, saying, "I feel like a big, fat f**king star now!"
Uma Thurman was a different story -- leaving the restaurant with a mystery man, covering her face and avoiding any acknowledgment of the camera's existence.
TMZ also caught Uma's "Kill Bill" co-star Lucy Liu -- chatting up a few chefs through Waverly's back door, plus Jay-Z and Masi Oka (aka Hiro Nakamura) who teleported to Butter, and Miss Dita Von Teese, who left her pasties at home and went out to The Inn in a sparkly red number.

Masi Oka shot to fame playing Hiro Nakamura on the NBC hit "Heroes," but the 31-year-old landed his first magazine cover when he was just 12.
Oka was on the cover of Time magazine in 1987 (he's the one in blue on the left) with the banner, "Those Asian-American Whiz Kids." He told Conan O'Brien that a parent of one of his childhood friends was the photographer, and "She was looking for smart Asian kids." Oka wasn't featured in the article, but he is something of a genius.
Masi worked for George Lucas' special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, toiling on special effects for films like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," "War of the Worlds" and the three "Star Wars" prequels. Oka says he still works for the company a couple of days a week.
In a clip from tonight's episode of "Heroes," Hiro figures out that he teleported back in time six months instead of only one day. "Heroes" airs tonight at 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

"Heroes" is a new drama from NBC about a group of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka and Ali Larter play three of these "extraordinary" people.
Milo Ventimiglia stars as Peter Petrelli, a young man who tries to convince his politician brother that he can fly. "There's this fear and excitement," Ventimiglia explains, "that you have this gift, but you're terrified to use it because you've never used it before."
Niki Sanders, played by Ali Larter, is a single mother trying to making ends meet in Las Vegas. She begins to get the feeling she is being followed, but it's her mirror image that appears to have a secret. "One thing about her is that she has a dark and violent nature," Larter says. "That dark and violent nature has something to do with her reflection."
Meanwhile in Japan, Hiro Nakamura, played by Masi Oka, learns that he can bend time and space. Oka says there is something that separates his character from the rest: "When I find out I have these powers, I already believe it."
"Heroes" premieres Monday September 25 at 9PM ET.
