Editor's note: There were apparently some technical difficulties last night, as Twitter-Wood never ran. So in lieu of today's Daily TwitPic, here's a special morning edition of Twitter-Wood for 9/14/09.
The Vma's trended nearly as well in the Twitter-Wood feed last night as they did on Twitter, and if you've had any internet access over the last 24 hours you probably know that a lot of that was provoked by Kanye West's unexpected interruption during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. Elizabeth Banks, Kat Dennings, John Stamos and others contributed to the online conversation that followed, expressing their thoughts on his interjection.
Football was pretty popular last night as well, and if you didn't know that Ashton Kutcher was a Bears fan, you do now, thanks to Demi Moore's photo tweet of her defeated fan-husband after the Green Bay Packers stuck it to Chicago in the fourth quarter. Check out all of those posts, »

"Twilight" frustrations bubbled up in the Twitter-Wood feed today, though I'm not sure what some of them were about precisely. David Slade reiterated his irritation at planes flying over his "Eclipse" set, which may have been compounded by problems involving goats. Meanwhile, Christian Serratos cryptically sounded off with her desire to see "New Moon," which apparently she is not allowed to do quite yet.
Elsewhere, photos from Eliza Dushku and Emmy Rossum showed up with flannel shirt thoughts and a mysterious coconut left in the back of a taxi cab. You really don't know where that's been, Emmy. (Be safe.) Sarah Silverman wins the Twitter Pic of the Day award, though. Click on down, and I think you'll see why. It's in the Twitter-Wood report for September 11, 2009.

Now that Ben Lyons has gotten the boot from At the Movies, we no longer need to yell, "You lie!" at our TV screens each week. And with summer behind us, let's see what's shaking this week on the big screen.
Opening on 9/9/09 was, of course, 9, a bleak but beautiful animated feature about doll-like creatures — they're already calling the style of this stop-motion animated feature "stitchpunk" — fighting for survival in a bleak post-apocalyptic landscape.
While the storyline didn't thrill me, I was taken by director Shane Acker's stunning visuals and by his ability to create distinct personalities for his lead characters (who all have names such as 9, 2 and 6).
He's helped greatly with the latter by a terrific cast of actors, including Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover. 9 is way, way too bleak and disturbing for little kids — who should totally see »

Dane Cook has a proposal today for Ellen DeGeneres' replacement on "Ellen," now that she's going to be busy judging on "American Idol." Check it out, and see what you think. Cook leads the Twitter-Wood playlist today, right ahead of "Sorority Row" star Leah Pipes and Selena Gomez, who misses Freddie Prinze Jr.'s TV show "Freddie."
Eddie Izzard, Ice-t and previously featured photo subject Steve Agee all entered the running for the Twitter Pic of the Day today -- and though only one could come out on top, I've ranked them below, eventually giving Izzard the break because, well, he's run 39 marathons now, and that's worth acknowledgement. After all, how many have you run lately? Congrats to him, and congrats to you for getting to read the Twitter-Wood report for September 10, 2009.

I'm pleased to report that things are back to status quo. Last week's top stories were relatively free of "Twilight" news but we're back on track this week thanks to the barrage of images and news that emerged. We'll get to that in a minute though. First let's wrap up the weekly box office poll.
There was a big voter turnout this week, though nearly all of your votes went to one of the two horror releases: "Halloween II" and "The Final Destination." Rob Zombie's flick edged out "Destination," with 60% of the vote compared to the other's 38%. The remaining 2% is spread across the rest of the choices, with no clear leader among them. Now that that's out of the way, let's see what your clicks favored...

Before Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger presided over the state of California, he was an actor. If you're old enough to read this, then you probably know that. After all, Schwarzenegger wasn't just an actor... he was The actor. The one-time Mr. Universe spent much of the '80s and '90s as Hollywood's go-to action hero. He never quite managed to shake the thick Austrian accent, but that was in many ways part of the charm.
Today is Governor Schwarzenegger's birthday. He turns 62 and looks pretty much like you would expect a 62-year-old former Mr. Universe and former action star to look: fit as a fiddle. In honor of the Governator's special day, I'd like to take a moment to look back at some of the significant things he left us with before turning his attention from acting to politics.

A terrified Danny DeVito feared he was staring death in the face when he came across a killer scorpion in his bedroom during a recent vacation in Costa Rica.
The pint-sized Twins star was warned about one particular poisonous stinger before his trip - and couldn't believe it when he found the creature scuttling across his floor.
He says, "They say these things (scorpions) will get into your clothes, you gotta check your boots... Some of them are, like, little tiny things that can't hurt you and other ones are so poisonous you drop like a stone.
"I'm sitting there in shorts, no shoes and socks, on the edge of the bed looking at the computer and my focus goes to the floor because there's some movement. And there is a scorpion... with the coloration of the one the guy said would kill you!
"I immediately leap onto the bed... and I'm hyperventilating, and the thing is coming towards me."
The scorpion shuffled off under furniture and DeVito decided to test his "zen" skills - by trying to reason with his uninvited guest.
He adds, "I get down (from the bed), I say, 'Look, to hell with this...' and I start talking to the teak wood.
"I say, 'Look pal... I know you don't wanna bite me, you don't wanna kill me, and I don't wanna kill you - and I mean it from the bottom of my heart... You just walk out that door.'
"He starts walking very tentatively towards the door... He goes out the door." »

Danny DeVito has brushed off reports he was boozing during a bizarre U.S. TV interview on Wednesday - insisting he was only "acting".
The Twins star shocked morning viewers in Philadephia, Pennsylvania by belching his way through a lewd live interview on the set of his sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
In an awkward moment, DeVito hit on the local TV female reporter, noting, "You wore that short skirt, which is really nice... Easy access."
His inappropriate behaviour and remarks prompted the host to ask the actor if he was intoxicated on the early morning beer he was drinking on set. But the actor insists he was clean and sober when the cameras were rolling.
He tells Radaronline.com, “I was only trying to make a TV interview fun. In the scene the TV people were covering, my character was drinking (pretend beer). When you see the scene on the show... you will understand. It’s called acting.” »

Actor Danny DeVito is turning the life of a shamed U.S. consumer electronics mogul into a movie.
The Twins star has signed up to direct Crazy Eddie - based on the entrepreneur Eddie Antar, who built up a successful empire with the Crazy Eddie chain, only to end up serving a six year prison sentence for fraud. He was freed in 1999.
DeVito will take charge of the project, while 21 writer Peter Steinfeld will pen the script. »
