AnnaLynne McCord< has already gone full-blown Avatar in a past episode of 90210, and now, she's apparently paying tribute to an even MORE classic sci-fi flick…that as recently reported, will be making a comeback VERY soon, thanks to Disney!

That's right, in this week's episode of the CW drama, our heroine Naomi Clark and her geek-a-licious, surprisingly longterm love interest Max pay a visit to the always EPIC, costume-filled Comic-Con-ESQUE festival…and both don threads that Princess Leia and Han Solo RAWK in the Star Wars flick Return of the Jedi!

Of course, we're more curious as to how they got Shenae Grimes to join in on all the shenanigans…and get her Hobbit on!

We can't find to find out if she manages to ELF her man's brains out after all!

LOLz!

Ch-ch-check out the EXCLUSIVE and HIGHlarious clip (above) — aaaand don't forget to tune in to watch the full episode TONIGHT at 8PM on The CW!

San Diego may still be in danger of losing Comic-Con eventually, but California nerds can rest easy for the time being!

Mayor Jerry Sanders has announced that the pop culture extravaganza has extended its commitment to the city one more year.

Originally, the contract was only through 2015, with many vendors threatening to pull out unless the city expands the Convention Center to better accommodate the 130,000+ crowds.

The city has agreed to a $500,000 dollar expansion- not too bad when you consider the convention brings an estimated $160,000 to the city EVERY YEAR!

So for now Comic-Con has agreed to stay SDCC at least until 2016! Maybe we'll even have a Justice League movie by then!

Don't plan a picnic on November 6, 2015!

Marvel has finally set its release date for the long-awaited Avengers tie-in Ant-Man!

Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright will be helming the tale of Dr. Hank Pym's scientific breakthroughs that lead him to greatness!

And smallness…

From what we hear, the astounding test footage screened at San Diego Comic Con was enough to give the project the shot in the arm of Pym Particles it needed!

We can't wait! We love short guys! LOLz!

Art or not, these are our first official looks at two new suits in Iron Man 3 (above)!!

You shouldn't be surprised that Robert Downey Jr. is getting a tech upgrade to his suit, as he's had a different version in each film he's been in - including The Avengers!

On the flip side, it seems like

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."

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!
