Weekend Wrap-Up: Amy Winehouse Dies, Captain America Battles Harry Potter, Comic-Con Scoop
Missed this weekend's entertainment news stories? We've got the latest on Amy Winehouse's tragic passing, along with Kristin Cavallari's wedding shutdown and some major Comic-Con scoop.
• Shocking Death: Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home Saturday. Upon news of her passing, the "Rehab" crooner's celebrity friends (like Russell Brand) and fans alike poured out tributes on Twitter. Her family issued a statement: "Our family has been left bereft by the loss of Amy." Winehouse isn't the only famed musician who passed away at the age of 27. Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix are among the group known as the 27 Club, but is that a dangerous age for performers?

Did Amanda Seyfried Have Justin Timberlake Posters Way Before They Were Costars?
He may have surprised the crowd by hitting up Comic-Con, but Justin Timberlake didn't stop there. He and Amanda Seyfried stopped to chat with our own Ben Lyons about their new action thriller In Time.
But Amanda ended up dropping a few hints on what she thinks of J.T.'s musical past.
Is Rob on the Road to Oscar?
"Oh, I don't know. I don't think about Oscars."
—Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz, who is currently filming Water for Elephants with Robert Pattinson, on whether Rob will follow in his and costar Reese Witherspoon's footsteps one day.
Waltz, who we caught up with after the Green Hornet panel at Comic-Con, is playing the villain type in both flicks (big surprise), but he joked it's always "the other guys that are wrong" not him.
Waltz told us that filming is going "very well" despite the paparazzi hounding their set, which is now a daily occurrence.
Comic-Con Update: Still No Robsten, but Why?
No Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart or Taylor Lautner at Comic-Con this year? Can you believe it?
Well, we hope so considering we told you that back in May.
When Summit announced its lineup for the fab geek-filled festival, Twilight castmembers were noticeably absent. Instead, the studio will be presenting panels for its upcoming films Red and Drive Angry 3D.
So where is the vampire crew?
This Just In: True Blood Gets Graphic, and Glee Gets Material, Girl!
True Blood: 3-D is so last year. Now, it's all about graphic novels. HBO and IDW Publishing will premiere an all-new comic book series based on True Blood at this year's Comic-Con. As if you needed yet another reason to get your geek on in San Diego. Readers can look forward to new storylines for Sookie and the gang, and probably the hottest hand-drawn scenes ever. We bet Jason Stackhouse's (Ryan Kwanten) abs are just as beautiful in cartoon form. Check out this message from creator and executive producer Alan Ball, and get ready for the season three premiere of True Blood June 13!
We've also got scoop for you Gleeks, and those who are anxiously awaiting the return of Jersey Shore. Anyone? Oh, don't lie...
