"Mark came with Jessica Alba and Lenny was sitting with Michelle Rodriguez and a table of women," our eyewitness said. "Before midnight, Mark walked over to Lenny and they went outside to talk."
Wahlberg was upset because he had heard Kravitz, who is clearly over Nicole Kidman, had been calling and seeing his ex, Durham.
"Things got really heated and tense," says the source. "Mark was angry about Rhea, but Lenny said Mark should shut up because he had come with Jessica."
The two then supposedly shouted, "Screw you!" at each other before going back to their hotels. Wahlberg stayed at the Delano, while Kravitz left for the Shore Club, where, to his distress, Rodriguez ignored him and kissed a blond girl in the pool.

We told you last week that newly aiglw Mark Walberg had taken a shine to actress Jessica Alba. Well, the couple's new relationship has heated up considerably in the Florida sun. They spent New Year's Eve in Miami, starting with a private dinnerat the Delano Hotel, where Lenny Kravitz, Adrien Brody, Michelle Rodriguez, Jaime Foxx, and Rufus Wainwright also celebrated.
"Mark and Jessica came together. They were very publicly all over each other," a snickering spy told us. Wahlberg, 32, recently broke off his engagement to Rhea Durham, with whom he has a 4-month-old daughter, Ella Rae. Alba is 22.
The stars later watchee the ball drop at Ian Schrager's Shore Club, where Kravitz was spotted getting cozy with "Blue Crush" star Rodriguez. "He ran over to her. The whole night, he made a point to call her over. She would go and flirt," said our spy.
The heat must have been too much for her; the spy said she "jumped in the pool naked," and a pretty blonde girl made sure Rodriguez stayed afloat.

Lenny was recently caught romancing Brazilian artist Isis Arruda behind the Cold Mountain beauty's back, and now his New Years antics are set to break the actress's heart.
The American Woman singer was partying in Miami alongside stars like Mark Wahlberg, Adrien Brody, Rufus Wainwright and Jamie Foxx when he encountered Blue Crush star Michelle.
A source reveals, "He ran over to her. The whole night, he made a point to call her over. She would go and flirt."
And Lenny's attentions may have made Michelle a little over-heated - she later "jumped in the pool naked".

Where was Nicole, you wonder? Polishing her diamond bauble? More like doing the fam thang with her kids and ex-unit, Tom Cruise, in Fiji. Too retro-cozy.
Oh, but wait. When I say cozy, I'm talking about the acshun between Lenny and ass-kicker Michelle Rodriguez. Yup. L.K. and M.R. were joined at the hip on this champagne-soaked night. When Len-babe lusciously strolled into the Delano, he didn't waste a minute. Headed straight over to the pool table where the S.W.A.T. sweetie was cueing up. After a long, chummy chat, Mich-doll joined Len and his crew for a flirtatious din-din in Delano's orchard.
Gabbing for days, Len and his harem of women, M.R. included, mellowed out to the tunes of Rufus Wainwright alongside Janet Jackson, brunette-kissing Adrien Brody, JC Chasez, Jamie Foxx and new cuddlers Mark Wahlberg and Jessica Alba.
But we'll get to those revelers in a slippery sec. 'Cuz I'm really wondering what the hell's going on with those less-than-lickable lovers. Not much, it would seem, as Len didn't look like a taken man, considering he was way into Michelle, bestowing plenty of hot 'n' heavy attention on the tough 'tuded honey--but not of the spit-swapping kind. M.R. saved that acshun for a curvy blonde.
When the party posse moved on to the SkyBar to ring in the New Year, M.R. kicked off 2004 by stripping off her clingy threads and diving into the pool with her new, bestest g-f. Lip-smacking � la Britney and Madonna ensued. Come on, aren't we done with all this gratuitous femme tongue-tangling? Luckily, no.
Evidently, Lenny is, because after M.R.'s impromptu Showgirls stunt, the Lenster pretended to be done digging the girl. Get it? Or was he merely remembering Nic? What-ev-ah. There were plenty of other hotties hanging around to keep Mr. K. occupied. Not to mention his little run-in with Marky Mark and his funky bunch. I'm sure you've heard about that biz by now, you know. Mark feeling jealous 'cuz Len has been consoling Rhea? Damn, this dude is busy!
While Foxx was drizzling champagne over the heads of some hoochies, Lenny decided to play peacemaker between Mark and his ex, Rhea Durham. After all, if love ain't working for you, why not fix other peeps' probs, right?
But, evidently, peacemaker is not one of Len's attributes, as Mark soon stormed off to drown his annoyance with his new effable squeeze, J.A. As for Len? Well, there were heaps o' hot honeys swarming him, too bad he had his eyes on the girl-kissing Rodriguez.
