While we got the scoop on all the panels at Comic-Con, we couldn't help but notice all the hot celebrities that caught our eyes while we were down there. Even if you couldn't be at the event this year, you can still look back and check out the 20 cutest pictures of the dudes who made it worth it to brave the crowds of people.
If The Vampire Diaries' creator Kevin Williamson didn't give you enough season three dish, then you'll be happy to learn that executive producer Julie Plec also had lots of details to dole out at Comic-Con. She spilled about how Stefan will change and what's in store for Caroline and Tyler's werewolf/vampire romance.
How bad is Stefan going to get?
Julie Plec: Bad. Yeah. Yeah, he’s got it in him, man; he’s pretty hardcore when he falls off the edge, and it's not just going to be "one and done" with him. We wanted our hero to go down a really dark road and we’re going to take him down that dark road for a while. But you know, there’ll be levels of bad [that] I think Paul Wesley is really excited to explore. But no, we’re not going to back off of that.
Do you worry at all about crossing the line of irredeemable for him?
JP: You know, I will tell you this. I sort of decided there was no line when Damon killed Jeremy, and everyone was like “Oh, 'cause he was just really upset and sad." There’s a strange overwhelming majority that was totally fine with it, so it's surprising to us, and good for the character. So we’ll see if the same is true for Stefan or not. You know, what we don’t want to do is homogenize a hero or a villain by not taking them to the edge. You’re rolling the dice that your audience will be able to come back from it. So it’ll be risky — it's very risky — and we’ll see how we can get him out [to] the other side, but we’ll sure as hell be rooting for him to get out the other side. So that hopefully will go well.

Doctor Who fans had quite the Comic-Con experience last weekend. Matt Smith, who plays the eleventh doctor, and Karen Gillan, who plays the doctor's faithful companion Amy Pond, were interviewed by G4 and distributed Tardis burritos to audience members at the sold-out recording of the Nerdist podcast. The stars then, along with show writer Toby Whithouse, spoke to an excited crowd of over 6,000 people at the Doctor Who panel in Hall H, traditionally reserved for the most popular Comic-Con panels each year.
Spectators at Hall H previewed the Fall season trailer, which will premiere Aug. 27 on BBC America. Check out the action-packed trailer (is the doctor's time really up?!) after the break.
The Vampire Diaries stars dished a lot on their characters and where season three will take them at their Comic-Con panel, but no one knows what's next for the supernatural series better than the creator himself, Kevin Williamson. The show's writer and producer sat down for a chat, and he revealed what's going to happen with the Damon/Elena/Stefan love triangle, why he decided to kill off Aunt Jenna, and more.
When we pick up, what will happen between Damon and Elena?
Kevin Williamson: Stefan has taken off with Klaus for a greater agenda: Klaus is up to something. And that's sort of the first chapter of our story and what that entails. It'll sort of be Damon and Elena's search for Stefan and how their relationship changes. At the end of season two, Katherine uttered that one line: "It's OK to love both of them," and we'll sort of watch that play out. And what does that mean? It meant one thing for Katherine; what's it going to be for Elena? Because you can love someone brotherly, you can love someone like a friend, and I just think [regarding] romantic love, it may not be OK to love both of them.
I think that's the journey. She's on a big journey, because yes, 100 percent yes, she's attracted to this man [Damon]. Yes, she's in love with Stefan; it's the epic love that's never going to change. So she's going to be torn. It's so tragic, these characters. And Damon is like this reluctant character who doesn't want to be the hero, it's not his role in life, he's not good at it. Elena's going to be there pushing him on to be the hero, but his nature is to kill people, so it's going to be interesting.

Vampire Pam on True Blood is having some terrifying facial issues this season, but actress Kristin Bauer looks stunning as ever. At this year's Comic-Con, Exclusive Artists Management celebrity makeup artist Agostina Lombardo created an updated 1950s look for her. "I wanted to stay away from a classic red lip," Lombardo explained, "so I chose a red-brown color instead, which to me keeps it more modern." Love the palette? Read more to find out how to re-create the look on your own.
Comic-Con has come to a close, but if you didn't make it to the convention (or even if you did), chances are you're spending some time today catching up on what you missed. Besides TV teasers and new movie footage, the event is also a great forum for some of our favorite actors to speak off the cuff and show their personalities. From Charlize Theron throwing down with Kristen Stewart to Zachary Levi thanking his fans, here are some of the most fun lines from the weekend.
Another Comic-Con has come and gone, but don't despair if you couldn't make it down to San Diego with the rest of the fanboys and fangirls. We've got tons of coverage to keep you up to date on the hottest new movies and upcoming TV news, so check out all of our posts from the weekend!
The Vampire Diaries cast stopped by San Diego for Comic-Con to talk about the upcoming season of the show and what's next for their supernatural characters. Nina Dobrev, who plays human Elena and vampire Katherine, sat down to chat with reporters before her panel. She gave some insight about her two roles, and Elena's constant struggle between Team Stefan and Team Damon.
Who do you like playing more, Katherine or Elena?
Nina Dobrev: I definitely enjoy playing both, because there's never a dull day. The great thing about television is that it's not [just] two hours where you have a beginning, middle, and end, [where] you see one character and one thing that they go through. Fortunately, the characters get to grow. I mean, Elena — the way she was when I first started, when I first signed on to the show — she was one person; she was a sort of younger, naive, sad, young girl, and she's become a strong woman. And when I later found out that I would have to play Katherine as well, it was interesting to create another character. I really wanted to make her completely different, and make her so that you could distinguish between the two of them. So that's been the biggest challenge, and it's been great.
Will Elena go for Damon now that Stefan isn't around?
ND: You'll see in the first episode that she may not necessarily be skewing towards Damon. Just because he's there and Stefan's not doesn't mean that she's going to fall into his arms. She realizes that she was in big trouble when she found out that Damon was going to survive after she kissed him. She was like, uh-oh. He's going to follow me and keep telling me about this forever; it's going to be so frustrating. We'll see what happens; it's either out of sight, out of mind, or absence makes the heart grow fonder.
