Ladies of Comic-Con Reveal Their Favorite Festival Moments

It's official: Ladies love getting their geek on at Comic-Con.

Even though it's been perceived in the past as a "fanboys only" festival, some of Hollywood's hottest actresses are embracing it as their own as they meet their most passionate audience. Some even want to sneak around in costume!

New Moon star Kristen Stewart – this year's "Con Queen" – had several thousand devoted Twilighters flocking to San Diego to catch a sneak peak of her film's footage and see her and her costars.

"This is definitely a high," said Stewart. "It's a little overwhelming to have so many people here, but I guess that's a good thing. Just judging from past experiences – when I show up at these sort of places, I'm sort of blown away and in this case I was ready for it."

Ready or not, the fanaticism can be contagious. "Certainly there is a major geek within me, actually, just kind of right on the surface," laughed Scarlett Johansson, who wore exotic Christian Louboutin heels she called her "super-hero booties" while promoting Iron Man 2. "I have never experienced anything like this before, two weeks after filming has wrapped. It's exciting to be a part of something that kind of has this built-in fan base that's got this electricity around it."

It wasn't just any old ceremony when Cameron Diaz got her star on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame, it was a star-studded event: Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and sister Charlie's Angels star Lucy Liu gathered with the hundred of fans who witnessed Diaz's honor in front of the Egyptian Theater on Monday.

Diaz, whose My Sister's Keeper opens Friday, credited her success to her parents and said, "I dedicate this star to the eternal love that my mom and dad shared. It was what has given me the strength and courage to live this extraordinary life, and it was that powers the light that burns inside of me, bright enough for me to be honored today with this star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."

Diaz, 36, is the 2,386th star to be so honored on the famed sidewalk. Her beloved father, Emilio Diaz, died in April 2008, at age 58. The actress's mother, Billie, as well as her older sister, Chimene, also attended the ceremony.

• Cameron Diaz, letting loose backstage at the Webby Awards at New York City's Cipriani Wall Street. The actress, who was there to present pal Jimmy Fallon with a Webby Person of the Year honor, danced and chatted animatedly with Lake Bell (whose WB.com Web series Childrens' Hospital was honored for best comedic series). The actresses shared a glass of white wine as they boogied during musical interludes in the ceremony. At one point, Diaz even twirled Bell’s long hair around her fingers while they talked.

Cameron Diaz was in a festive – and complimentary – mood at Tuesday night's Webby Awards in New York where she presented the top award to Jimmy Fallon.

"I'm here because of a guy named Jimmy Fallon, you guys may know him, right?" she joked before presenting the newly-minted TV host with the Webby Person of the Year award at Cipriani Wall Street. "He seamlessly took over this little show called Late Night. Have you guys heard of that? Of course I'm just kidding, it's legendary."

Diaz went on to praise Fallon, who was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Nancy Juvonen, for "seamlessly" taking over the talk show previously hosted by Conan O'Brien.
