This morning's Daily TwitPic has absolutely nothing to do with "New Moon." I know that was the weekend highlight for many of you, but no one on the Twitter-Wood feed last Friday seemed will to share pics of their glittered-covered selves. Go figure.
Nonetheless, today's pic made me do a little bit of a double-take. These three guys may have history on television, but they couldn't have come from more different places. There's Larry King of course, armed and dangerous in this pic, and celebrating his birthday party. Then you've got Ryan Seacrest, "American Idol" host and "E! News" fixture. And finally there's Don Johnson. Some of you younger folk might not recognize him, and that's a shame. He was one half of the crime-fighting super-team on "Miami Vice." It's an odd lineup... hit the jump to see it. Read more...
That headline ain't kidding. This morning's Daily TwitPic isn't the sharpest image you'll ever see. It may well be one of the blurriest. But it's also Danny DeVito celebrating his birthday -- yes, that's a candle-covered cake -- with Johnny Depp and Patti Smith.
DeVito and Depp at least were both in New York City this week for the exhibition opening of Tim Burton's career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. The trio are joined at their table by what is identified as "Troll Foot." If you look carefully, to the left of the cake, you can see it: a bare foot. If you follow DeVito then you know that he's got a weird fascination with tweeting images of his "Troll Foot." See for yourself after the jump. Read more...
Doogie! Sorry, I won't do that again. It's hard though, to be someone who grew up in the '80s and '90s, not to think of Neil Patrick Harris as Doogie Howser, MD, the boy genius doctor. Such a simpler time. Harris has become so much more than that in recent years, and my hat's off to him for shedding his child actor image. I still can't erase those first memories of his time on TV.
In today's Daily TwitPic we see Harris hanging with the lovely Felicia Day, a gifted performer who is associated with one of his more recent successes. The two starred together in "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," a three-act comedic web series conceived by Joss Whedon and his brothers Zack and Jed. Enjoy the cute picture of would-be supervillain Dr. Horrible and his doomed love Penny, reunited. Read more...
It's been months now since the untimely passing of Michael Jackson. Yet somehow, he remains very much a part of the public consciousness. Part of that is the documentary, "Michael Jackson's This Is It," which collects the pop legend's final rehearsal footage. Not only did the release trigger the flood of Jackson memorializing anew, the doc itself notably doesn't ever explicitly say that he's left us.
What's interesting about all of the personal remembrances to have surface is the picture that they paint. Jackson was famously reclusive in his later years, trailed by controversy and somehow standing apart from the cult of celebrity, even as he sat at its pinnacle. Only through the recent doc and the memories of his family and friends are we now getting a picture of the man behind all of that mystery. Brett Ratner is one of those people Jackson was close with, and he's been sharing generously on Twitter for some time. The latest, today's Daily TwitPic shows us the "Rush Hour" director with Michael, Chris Tucker and Jackson friend Al Malnik in Acapulco for Ratner's birthday. Read more...
I'm going a little rogue with this morning's Daily TwitPic. Warmoth's pick last Friday featured "Star Trek: The Next Generation" star LeVar Burton (the guy with the eye visor thing) posing for a photo op with Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon. Of course, the importance of Armstrong's new moon discovery can't hold a candle to another "New Moon," the one that hits theaters this Friday. Not this week.
That's right, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series swoops into theaters in a matter of days. This morning's Daily TwitPic celebrates that fact with a look at the new Jacob Barbie doll. The Bella and Edward dolls are old news; now it's Jacob's turn. Shirtless Jacob (if he's got another look, I've not seen it). Check out the pic after the jump. Read more...
New Yorkers get a lucky break in two weeks. Starting November 22 and continuing through to the end of April 2010, a career retrospecting Tim Burton exhibit will live at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit will consist of sketches, paintings, storyboards, puppets, props, costumes and moving image galleries from Burton projects known and unknown. Fans won't want to miss such a rare opportunity to look closely at the legendary filmmaker's process as brings his out-of-this-world ideas together.
For shame if you don't know who Burton is. He's behind an incredible number of bona fide modern classics: "Edward Scissorhands," "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" & "Batman Returns"... a lot of noteworthy stuff. Today's Daily TwitPic actually comes from MoMA's Twitter feed. They posted an image yesterday, a sneak peek at a few of the items which will be incorporated into the exhibit. Check it out after the jump. Read more...
Many of you are going to have just one word for this morning's Daily TwitPic:
Awwwwwwwww!
"New Moon" star Peter Facinelli may drink the blood of helpless fuzzy creatures in his role as patriarch of the Cullen clan, but in real life he's more interested in saving them. Or at least just making friends with them. The headline above doesn't lie. Facinelli shakes hands with a penguin in the pic after the jump. A cute, fuzzy penguin. And to the penguin's credit, it manages to keep itself together, even in the presence of a much-loved "Twilight" star. Maybe it's just crapping its pants (fur?) because it knows what those Cullen people are capable of. Read more...
Our Twitter followers may have noticed a tweet from me yesterday shouting out to a certain video game. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," (our review!) likely the biggest-selling game release of the year, hit store shelves and fans predictably turned out in droves to buy it. The truly hardcore -- those who didn't find a way to slip around the street date and snag it early, that is -- hit up midnight launch parties the evening before, highly publicized events featuring contests and celebrity guests.
Similarly, yesterday's Twitter-Wood feed was littered with shouts to "MW2." Everyone from "Juno" writer Diablo Cody to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. Ice-T, self-professed gaming fanatic, also turned out to show his support. He even posed for a ridiculous twitpic, donning the night vision goggles included with the most expensive special edition version of the game. That's exactly what you'll see in the Daily TwitPic after the jump. Read more...
This morning's Daily TwitPic is full of win, in that it's got something for everyone. Twilighters in the audience will appreciate the subject, Christian Serratos, who plays one of Bella's human school pals, Angela, in the "Twilight" series. What's more, Serratos poses for her pic surrounded by fog-shrouded woods of the sort you'd see in the area around Forks, Washington.
Did I mention that Serratos is nude? That's where everyone else comes in. The pic is an ad for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is apparently trying to sex up its image a bit. Serratos, in baring all, makes the point that killing animals for their fur is a bad thing. Sure, she could've put SOMETHING on, but that wouldn't have gotten your attention quite as easily, would it? Read more...
Arnold Schwarzenegger is always going to be a movie star to me, even though the duty of governing California has kept him away from Hollywood in recent years. Here's hoping that his cameo appearance in "The Expendables" is a sign that he wants to get back to acting after he finished with politics.
He's still hooked in enough that he'll take a trip to present an award. Kirk Douglas, one of the original tough guy actors, was recently given the British Film Academy's Britannia Award, and Schwarzenegger was the one to present it to him. Douglas has been quiet in recent years, but he's also 92 years old. With classics like "Spartacus," Stanley Kubrick's "Paths of Glory" and "Gunfight at the OK Corral" under his belt, the man has earned himself a rest, the better to observe the success of his son, Michael, and to collect lifetime achievement awards, like the one seen after the jump in today's Daily TwitPic.
