Then you might really enjoy THIS!

We hear a lot of you out there are into this new thing all the cool kids are doing called … READING!

Strange, but true, with the success of Twilight, Hunger Games and The Vampire Diaries, we're finding more and more that YA fiction is on the rise — and is often the source material for some of the hottest movies and television around!

So we thought … why not try to find the next big thing!

While we were at Comic-Con earlier this month, we met up with Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, author of the new book, Poison Tree. The really awesome thing about Amelia is that she's been a published fantasy YA author since she was — wait for it — 13! That's way before Edward Cullen started to sparkle!

In speaking to Amelia, we asked her about her life as an author, her favorite aspects of her new novel, and who she'd like to see cast in a potential movie adaptation. (Johnny Depp, we think there is a part for you in here!)

If this sounds up your alley, CLICK THE JUMP and check out some HIGHlights from our interview with Amelia.

Time for second breakfast!

We already served you a feast of delicious information about Comic-Con's Hobbit panel but now we uncovered MORE exciting artifacts from Middle Earth!

Ta-Ta-Take a look at this exclusive previously unreleased production diary (above) that Hobbit filmmakers only intended for the Comic Con panel to see!

It has dwarves, Peter Jackson, and even Cate Blanchett in all of her Elven-hottie glory!

We LOVE this wonderful peek behind the curtains of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!

You're probably wondering how we unearthed this hidden gem?

In the immortal words of J.R.R. Tolkien, "there is nothing like looking, if you want to find something."

True Blood's Kristin Bauer van Straten plays the uber hot vamp Pam on the HBO show.

With tight corsets and dark red lips, Pam usually struts her stuff in risqué clothing. Until, about a couple weeks ago, when Truebies were introduced to Pam's sexy yellow Walmart sweatsuit (above).

At last week's Comic-Con, Kristin discussed the out-of-character fashion statement during the True Blood panel.

Thank youuuu, Comic-Con!!

While we delightfully divulged the deets of Breaking Dawn: Part 2's first seven minutes last week, we're THRILLED to show you the real thing NOW!

Watch the exciting (and sometimes HIGHlarious) beginning to the upcoming blockbuster sparkle above!

Trust us, you don't wanna miss this! Kristen Stewart is killin' it as a vampire!!

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner? Oh yeah… they're still the sexy beasts we'd ravage anytime!!! Ha!

UPDATE: Video removed upon request from Summit.

We now know a Guardians of the Galaxy film is in the works.

Marvel's film division intended to announce the good news at Comic-Con 2012. Unfortunately for them, the story broke earlier via Latino Review.

The film division of the comic book company didn't cry over spilled milk. They beefed up internal security and moved on to the next item on their agenda.

Oh, wait. That's what happened in an alternate universe where people who run companies behave civilly and rationally.

In THIS universe, Marvel tasked its vice president of loss prevention with making the life of Latino Review's editor a living hell until he gave up the confidential source who supplied him with the inside scoop.

In a strongly hostile letter, the VP had this to say (emphasis added by us):

When we first heard the official title for the sequel to Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger, we were intrigued to hear it would be the "most closely associated with Avengers."

In case you missed it, the Disney-owned company revealed at Comic-Con that Chris Evans' third outing as the patriotic hero will be in Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Since the official (and vague) synopsis says the flick will "pick-up where … The Avengers leaves off," we hear Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson will have major roles as Hawkeye and Black Widow's backstory will reportedly be explored.

They'll be joining Falcon — a role which may go to Anthony Mackie — and the Captain in the fight against the mysterious Winter Soldier.

So who is this guy? (SPOILER ALERT!)

Remember

If comic book characters can smell good why can't they!?

A Connecticut-based fragrance company, Epic-Scents, is bottling up everyone's favorite video game characters and giving them their own smell.

Last week, Capcom announced at Comic-Con that the all-blue hero Mega Man is getting transformed into a Cool Rush juice.

Epic-Scents project director, Jim Kavanaugh spoke about the smell good scent
