Woody HarrelsonFans haven't been universally appreciative of casting news on "The Hunger Games" thus far, with the possible exception being Jennifer Lawrence's attachment as Katniss. But here's something that everyone — or, at least, a "Lost" architect — can get behind: Woody Harrelson is on board as Haymitch Abernathy!

Many members of the Twitter-Wood community spent today observing the 10th anniversary of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" author Douglas Adams' untimely death, while still others remain obsessed with the demise of Osama bin Laden… so much so that one actor was not really able to unmask the Al Qaedea terrorist's killer.

I'm @roundhoward and this is Twitter-Wood for May 11, 2011.

Alex MerazRandy Moss will be leaving a few fans behind in New England now that he's been traded back to Minnesota, and that includes his self-proclaimed biggest fan "ever" Donnie Wahlberg. Wahlberg's holding it together, but his twitter account has been linked to down below if you want to give him some support.

In movie news, if you're a fan of the "Twilight" series and feel like you haven't been able to see enough of actor Alex Meraz, you should probably go see his upcoming flick "Never Back Down 2," since it required him to film his first on-screen sex scene. Get the details after the jump. There, you'll also find out who's been hearing Kenny Powers lines at parties and what Michael Caine had to say to a fan on the subject of death.

I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for October 6, 2010. Read More...

Adam McKay issued a major downer for everyone excited to see "Anchorman 2" yesterday. Apparently Paramount isn't nearly as big a fan of the project as he is, as he indicated that they passed on the sequel, which is no good for the future of Ron Burgundy.

On a lighter note, lots of Twitter-Wood citizens seem to be enjoying Jon Favreau's "Iron Man 2." He got some props today from both Jimmy Fallon and Peter Serafinowicz. Their compliments are retweeted after the jump along with Olivia Wilde's favorite song to strip to and Dane Cook's sex tape advice. Welcome to an extra-sexy edition of Twitter-Wood for April 30, 2010. Read More...

April Fool's Day always has a way of blurring real life with nightmare scenarios and news that is too awesome to be true. I'm going to leave it to you, however, to decide which category Dane Cook's performance at the White House falls into in today's rundown of ridiculous and ridiculously cool posts from the Twitter-Wood feed.

Below, you will find Jessica Simpson's new career aspiration, as well as Kevin Smith's vow to leave Twitter and Simon Pegg's connection to Justin Bieber's popularity. Check out the following celebrity retweets for yourself, and tell us in the comment section whether you buy what they're selling or not. I will say this, though: If the "Entourage" Season 7 pic at the top turns out to be phony, some heads somewhere are going to roll. Read More...

Miley CyrusHey all! Welcome to volume 2 of Twitter-Wood. Since Warmoth is a slacker (he's really not; he just had a prior committment), I'm filling in for him this evening. And wouldn't you know it, I almost forgot to deliver. Now who's the slacker? Here I am though, better late than never.

Today's somewhat abbreviated Tweet selection includes some links, some random observations and a near-admission of guilt. I'll let you figure out what all of that means. Sometimes I have a hard time figuring it out myself. Enjoy today's inside look at celebrity ramblings! Oh, and if you really want to follow me too, I can be found at @geminibros. I mostly spew video gaming nonsense though, so beware! Read More...

Do you see the sort of anarchy that unfolds when you put the power to vote in the hands of the masses? During Amy Poehler's appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" yesterday, the "Parks & Recreation" star used the opportunity to lobby for your 2009 MTV Movie Awards votes. Sort of.

Poehler picked up two nominations for this year's awards ceremony, in the Best Comedic Performance and Best WTF Moment, both for her hilarious performance in "Baby Mama". If you look really carefully during the below clip you'll see the fancy web digs MTV built for voters to peruse. Or you could vote right now. Go ahead. Do it. Place your vote.

'The 3 Stooges'As a lifelong, die-hard 3 Stooges fan, I’m not ashamed to admit that I bought a ticket and saw the 1986 dud “Stoogemania" in a movie theater. If the producers are reading this – yes, it was my father and I who gave you folks the $10 that the movie grossed domestically.

Until today, the idea of casting Zero Mostel’s kid as “Howard F. Howard” in a poorly-written clunker stuffed with archive footage was one of the worst Hollywood ideas I’d ever seen executed on the silver screen. Then, I read that the rumors were true and that the Farrelly brothers were casting Sean Penn, Jim Carrey and Benicio del Toro as the new Stooges. Josh Mostel, you might finally be off the hook.
