It comes as no surprise that supporting cast members in "New Moon" would try to splinter off their own factions in the endless "Team Edward vs. Team Jacob" debate, but it looks like BooBoo Stewart's got at least one backer for Team Seth, judging from his TwitPic upload today. Tinsel Korey, meanwhile, remains firmly behind Team Jacob.

In non-"Twilight" posting today, Danny DeVito had a nice showing for his birthday last night, even if his picture wasn't high enough quality to make Twitter Pic of the Day. Neil Patrick Harris posted a new shot from the "How I Met Your Mother Set" and David Wain contributed a courtside view from the Lakers game. Check out all of those after the jump where you'll also find out which actress enjoys dancing to Lady Gaga and which actor claims he's the only one who didn't audition for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 18, 2009. Read more...

I know as much about fine art as I do about flying a space shuttle, which is to say very, very little. But I know what I like. And the sculpture situated behind "The State" veteran David Wain in today's Daily TwitPic... it's badass.

Wain is apparently traveling in Italy right now, and his latest stop was Ortygia, Sicily. While there he discovered this impressive sculpture which I can't seem to find a background for on the Internet. My guess is that I'm just not getting the search terms right, but if anyone knows what this sculpture is and who constructed it, please let us know in the comments section. What I do know is that it's not so common to see a giant human form reaching up from beneath the ground, but it would be a hella cool sight to greet you out the window every morning. Read more...

Warmoth is out today and, with him, Twitter-Wood's enduring fondness for former "Full House" stars. Nothing against Saget, Stamos and Coulier... but your regular Twitter-Wood contributor is their champion here. He'll be back tomorrow, so have no fear: "Full House" will live on at MTV Movies Blog.

So what's up today on the feed? Well, for starters "The State" veteran David Wain, currently in Sicily, had someone snap a super-cool photo of him. It was enough to edge out Paris Hilton's own photo, of a bunch of fancy cakes that she was sent. Presumably for free. In the world of text-only Tweets, Rainn Wilson dropped some knowledge about Pfizer and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Amber Benson revealed that she has a special connection with pigeons, especially the anorexic ones. "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli also had a pigeon run-in, while bird-watching for the elusive Twitter Bird. Meanwhile, Idris Elba found something legitimately funny to laugh about with the approaching hurricane and Neil Gaiman confirmed that he is, in fact, alive. I'm @geminibros and this is your Twitter-Wood for September 3, 2009. Read more...

Diablo CodyNow that Comic-Con is officially over, untold numbers of celebrities are surely wandering the streets of Hollywood wondering why they don’t have a party to go to tonight. The last twelve hours of tweets in the Twitter-Wood feed have been filled with stories of return flights and sage post-Comic-Con reflections. Newly anointed Freddy Krueger actor Jackie Earle Haley even posted a few parting photos from his weekend in San Diego.

While everyone else adjusts back to daily life, however, our most reliable posters like Diablo Cody are jumping back into the groove with the news and entertainment commentary we expect from the average week, such Joe Jonas’ reported split with girlfriend Camilla Belle. Check out what she had to say, as well as who Rose McGowan reconnected with via Twitter and what now-classic comedy opened eight years ago today. It’s all in the Twitter-Wood report for July 27, 2009. Read more...

Tom FeltonIt's a chatty week in Hollywood with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" premiering and Independence Day party-goers relating their experiences at P. Diddy's White Party over the weekend. Still, with Michael Jackson's funeral on Tuesday, the late King of Pop's name is still fresh on the fingertips of many Tweeters, including Elizabeth Taylor and Tyrese Gibson. Yet another high-profile death sparked reactions in the Twitter-Wood feed as well today, however, with the passing of former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Errol Morris, who directed the Oscar-winning 2003 film "The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara" offered his thoughts.

Elsewhere, Tom Felton continued his own dedicated Twitter coverage leading up the "Half-Blood Prince" premiere tomorrow night, and actor Gil Birmingham tweeted a public RSVP saying that he won't be able to make Comic-Con in San Diego this year. Check out all of this and much more below in the Twitter-Wood report for July 6, 2009. Read more...

Gwyneth PaltrowProtests, marches, and link-passing have taken over Twitter following last week's contested election results in Iran, and the Twitter-Wood feed has been no exception. Alyssa Milano has been particularly persistent with her #iranelection-tagged tweets, and directors Errol Morris, James Gunn, and Jon Favreau all logged on to comment on the events in Tehran.

Meanwhile, a few tweets squeaked through with details from the "Iron Man 2" and "Casino Jack" sets, as well as from Wil Wheaton's guest appearance on the TNT series "Leverage." Also, Jonah Hill joins Kat Dennings and Nick Jasenovec in doubting the legitimacy of the controversial Michael Cera Twitter account that I've mentioned before. Click onward for all of these, birthday wishes to actor Michael Showalter, a much more in 140 characters or less in today's Twitter-Wood report! Read more...

'Wet Hot'Whether we’re talking about “Meatballs” or “Friday the 13th,” there’s something about those nostalgic summer camp days that keeps filmmakers and audiences coming back year after year. Machete-wielding psychos, sexed-up teenagers—whatever! In the end we just want us some shenanigans at the lake and a bit of hanky-panky around the campfire. Which is why we’ve always kept a candle burning for cult comedy “Wet Hot American Summer,” hoping against hope that a film which grossed less than $300,000 at the box office might somehow be graced with another installment.

More than a year ago, MTV News brought legions of “WHAS” fans news that writer/director David Wain was considering making a stage musical based on his 2001 comedy about teenage counselors at an ‘80s summer camp. Now Wain tells MTV News that if he gets his way, Paul Rudd will be his leading man. Read more...

Paul Rudd in 'Role Models'In last year’s hit comedy “Role Models,” Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott played two ne’er-do-well energy drink salesmen forced into a youth mentoring program called Sturdy Wings. There they met Augie, a medieval role-playing enthusiast and Ronnie, a dirty-minded bundle of pre-teen energy. In between the hijinks and boob jokes, all four of them end up learning a few lessons -- and the movie became one of 2008’s highest grossing R-rated comedies.

And this being Hollywood, where every success is destined to be plumbed for possible sequels, spin-offs and any sort of ancillary tie-in (videogames! breakfast cereal!), the writer/director David Wain has been discussing a second “Role Models” movie. Read more...

Oh that poor Focker! Ben Stiller’s luckless nurse with a heart of gold and an inability to avoid awkward physical comedy couldn’t catch a break, neither when he met his girlfriends’ parents for the first time nor, in the second movie, when he introduced his soon-to-be in-laws to his own folks. For a couple years, a third film in the “Meet the Parents” franchise has been in the works, one called “Little Fockers,” which presumably would follow the awkward physical comedy Stiller gets into now that he has kids.

After much delay and at least one abandoned script, “Little Fockers” looks to be moving forward. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson are all in negotiations to take part again. John Hamburg, who’s written the Stiller comedy “Along Came Polly” and the forthcoming Paul Rudd/Jason Segel bromance “I Love You, Man,” is penning the script. Jay Roach, however, who helmed the first two "Meet" films, is out as director. So now rumors are flying about who will take over directing duties. Read more...

David Wain -- director of "Role Models" and "Wet Hot American Summer and creator of "Stella" and "The State" -- is live blogging the Oscars for MTV! Stay here throughout the night for up to the minute commentary.

Hi everyone and welcome to my Oscar live blog! This is it! The big night has finally arrived. I knew there would be a lot of stars out tonight - but I had no idea there would be over A DOZEN stars! Boy do we have a lot to talk about. I'll be updating you all moment by moment with my witty thoughts and reports... and away we go!

8:08 p.m. ET: So just to set the scene, I'm here in Hollywood, just a few miles from the site of the Oscars! I'm staying at the home of my friend and major movie star Elizabeth Banks, sitting in her TV room, watching the show!

Elizabeth Banks is not here with me, because she got invited to the Vanity Fair party. If I'd been invited to that, I'd be there and not blogging with all of you. So it's a win win! Here's Elizabeth and her husband Max right before they left! Read more...
