Emma Stone recently expressed her enthusiasm for the convention's famed Hall H, where she and her "Amazing Spider-Man" co-stars will present footage to fans. MTV News also caught up with Comic-Con veteran and admitted nerd Mila Kunis and Comic-Con newbie Justin Timberlake to get their thoughts on the Con while they were promoting their rom-com "Friends With Benefits."
"I'm an expert at Comic-Con," Kunis declared, adding that she is a much bigger geek than JT.
"I'm stoked to go," Timberlake said, who will be on hand to promote "In Time," his film co-starring Amanda Seyfried. "I'm really stoked to go. I don't have anything to wear yet."
"Do you want to borrow my Sailor Moon costume?" Kunis offered. "Or my Princess Leia dominatrix outfit?"
"Yeah," Timberlake said, considering the idea for a moment. "I might stretch it out a little bit."

After 'Deathly Hallows,' Tom Felton Goes From 'Potter' To Primates
Actor will hit the big screen again in next month's 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' with a spate of big-screen parts on the horizon.

Tom Felton in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
Photo: 20th Century FoxTom Felton may be giving up his bleached-blond Draco Malfoy hair color, but he's not giving up his "Harry Potter" character's bad attitude just yet.
As "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" was breaking box-office records and opening to critical acclaim over the weekend, Felton was already looking forward to his first post-"Potter" film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," which hits theaters on August 5. And from what he's told MTV News about the movie's plot, his "Apes" character has a few things in common with Draco.
"My character, he works at a primate facility — I can reveal that — in which ... he's not the nicest of people looking after these lovely creatures," Felton teased.
But that's not the only project Felton is gearing up for: He finished filming "The Apparition" last year, a thriller that also stars "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene and "Captain America: The First Avenger" actor Sebastian Stan. While "Apparition" isn't due out until sometime in 2012, the movie is already earning some serious buzz in the online fan communities because it brings together two major movie franchises.
Felton has also filmed the sports flick "From the Rough" with Taraji P. Henson and Justin Chon and director Pierre Bagley. Add to that docket two war movies: "Grace and Danger" is currently in pre-production and "Evac" is on the horizon.
With films like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Apparition" on the way, Felton seems to be positioning himself as a viable big-screen presence post-"Potter." But he seemed genuinely surprise that the opportunity to make another big-budget movie had come so quickly after the end of "Potter."
"It was very exciting for me to go from 'Harry Potter' on to ['Rise of the Planet of the Apes']," he told MTV News. "I didn't expect to go on to that class of set straight away, so it was hugely exciting. We had a great time making it."

Zach Braff Not Gay, Despite What His Website Says
Fans of actor Zach Braff were surprised to read an announcement on his website Wednesday morning that he was "an open member of the homosexual community" -- but not nearly as surprised as Braff himself. The Scrubs star subsequently revealed that his website had been hacked, and he was still happily dating British model Taylor Bagley (who is, as far as we can tell, female).
TMZ has a screen cap of the fake site update, which was posted by a hacker at 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning. In a note addressed to his "loyal fans," fake-Braff claims that he has been "hiding a secret inside me for too long."
The statement continues: "The human mind can only bare so much before it explodes in emotions and well ... it is time to let the world know. I am excited and proud to announce that I am an open member of the homosexual community.
"This is not news to those closest to me, and I honor that they have kept it a secret for such a long time," fake-Braff adds. "This doesn't change anything. I am still Zach Braff and I am the same man I've always been, gay or not."
The note is sort of a boilerplate of all the celebrity coming-out announcements in the past few years, but we doubt it fooled many actual Braff fans; the actor's distinct sense of humor was nowhere to be found. (The hacker's sense of humor leaves something to be desired, too. Calling somebody gay as a practical joke? What are they, 12?) Sure enough, Braff posted a charming denial on his official Facebook page. "My old website got hacked. Someone issued a 'coming out' statement on my behalf. I'm still straight and in love with my girlfriend," writes the 36-year-old actor. "But not too straight; I still love musicals, brunch and Doogie Howser." To appease Scrubs fans, Braff added that he also loves costar Donald Faison: "My Mocha-Bear. He's like a Taye Diggs latte." He then embedded the video below, a relevant clip from the Scrubs musical episode title "Guy Love," saying, "This song is my official statement." Well-played, J.D.!
Braff's website now points to the website of Second Stage Theatre in New York City, which is currently showing Zach's new off-Broadway play All Good People.Source: http://www.ivillage.com/zach-braff-not-gay-despite-what-his-website-says/1-a-366157
