Tim Burton explores "Alice in Wonderland"
ADVERTISEMENT
SAN DIEGO - Tim Burton's 3D promotional trailer for Walt Disney Pictures' "Alice in Wonderland" has been the talk of Comic-Con, thanks in part to the surprise cameo appearance of Johnny Depp at a panel on Thursday. Depp plays The Mad Hatter in the new film, which debuts in theaters in March 2010. Burton made his first appearance at the giant comic book and pop culture convention here since the 1970s, when Comic-Con involved slides of the "Superman" movie.

At 40, Comic-Con grows into family affair
SAN DIEGO - If life truly begins at 40, as the old saying goes, then after four decades the giant Comic-Con pop culture showcase is seeing a rebirth of sorts among a new generation of attendees -- families and children. Even as Hollywood travels here to hype their newest comic book movies such as "Iron Man 2," aimed mostly at teen boys and young men, this year's 40th anniversary of Comic-Con has seen older couples dressed as "Star Wars" characters looking for fun with their little stormtrooper children by their side.

Kutcher talked briefly about Barton at a technology conference in Pasadena, which the actor and producer attended to discuss his use of the social networking website Twitter.

Jackson's hair made into diamonds -- for real
LOS ANGELES - Since Michael Jackson's sudden death on June 25, the rumor mill over details of his bizarre personal life has ground away nearly non-stop, and on Friday, one company said it was turning his hair into diamonds. That one is true. The claims this week included a report in Rolling Stone magazine that a prosthetic nose he wore apparently went missing when he was taken to the morgue, and a British tabloid trumpeted a headline that he fathered a secret love-child.
Amy Winehouse cleared of assault
LONDON - British singer Amy Winehouse was found not guilty on Friday of assaulting a dancer at a charity ball last year. Winehouse, 25, had been accused of deliberately punching dancer Sherene Flash in the face backstage at the Prince's Trust Ball in Berkeley Square, central London, in September. "Having heard the evidence from all the witnesses, I cannot be sure that this was not an accident," district judge Timothy Workman was quoted by the Press Association as telling the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London.
"Idol" showrunner Warwick inks new deal
LOS ANGELES - "American Idol" executive producer/showrunner Ken Warwick has signed a three-year deal with the show's co-producer, FremantleMedia North America, to remain at the helm of television's top-rated series.

Foreigner betting on Wal-Mart with new release
NEW YORK has much in common with Journey's 2008 Wal-Mart-only release, "Revelation." Like its predecessor, "Can't Slow Down" will be a three-disc set that features a CD of new material, a concert DVD and a best-of collection. But whereas "Revelation" included a CD of rerecorded Journey favorites, Foreigner remixed the band's original master recordings to make its hits sound more contemporary.
