I think Warmoth's own comments in Twitter-Wood yesterday sum up today's Daily TwitPic best: "I chose a shot that country music fans will appreciate and everyone else in the free world will at least experience bewilderment at." Penn Jillette (the guy on the left in that image off to the side), one half of the Penn & Teller comedy/magic/commentary team, apparently falls into the country music fan cateogry. He's quite happy to be in today's Daily TwitPic photo with country singer David Allan Coe.
It's worth noting two things about Coe: (1) he claims (or claimed) to have killed a man while in prison, which earned him a temporary space on death row and (2) two of his albums -- "Nothing Sacred" and "Underground" -- are laced with mature themes, profanity and outright racial slurs. The death row claim has been refuted somewhat, though it is a fact that Coe spent time in an Ohio prison. And now he hangs with pundit magicians. Read more...
Could observations about the relationship between Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore reveal your key financial prosperity? Well, at least one CNBC analyst thinks they might, and the happy couple was amused enough to tweet their reactions today in the Twitter-Wood feed.
The feed experienced an image-heavy weekend of tweets -- enough that selecting a Twitter Pic of the Day was not a cut-and-dry decision this afternoon. In the end, I chose a shot that country music fans will appreciate and everyone else in the free world will at least experience bewilderment at. It's a candid photo from Vegas that Penn Jillette recently caught with singer David Allan Coe. Its creepy second-placing challenger was a piece of fan art someone put together for Rose McGowan. In the old days fans depended on pencils and crayons; now, they have 3-D rendering software. Feast your eyes below, because it's all in the Twitter-Wood report for August 24, 2009. Read more...
Les Paul's death topped the list of trending topics on the Twitter-Wood feed today, and Penn Jillette, Neil Gaiman and Steve Agee were among those sharing their reflections on the music figure's passing. One of them was even invited to play with him at one point, but I'll let you read on to find out which of them it was.
Elsewhere, Eliza Dushku admitted to her Twitter followers that she hasn't seen "Twilight" yet and asked them if its anything worth checking out. I'm guessing she's not in the dark about it anymore. Click on down to read all of those tweets and witness Bob Saget's Twitter victory of the day, as well as my Twitter Pic of the Day featuring Dane Cook, Jeremy Piven and Kid Rock. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter-Wood report for August 13, 2009. Read more...

Diablo Cody made good on her promise to go to Dollywood this week, and the Twitter-Wood feed has the tweet to prove it. So if you've ever contemplated a trip to the only country music celebrity-themed park that I'm aware of in the U.S., check out her list of accomplishments.
Actor Ethan Suplee also tweeted in with some travel tips today, explaining how he tried to defend his nail-clippers from confiscation at the airport. To find out what he had to say, as well as what injury "Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli sustained from his child and Rainn Wilson discovered at the local pool today, click on down to the Twitter-Wood report for July 14, 2009.

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled 5-0 today that Al Franken won last year's Senate election, and it didn't take long for responses to start popping up in the Twitter-Wood feed, including reactions from Larry King and Graham Linehan. Magician and quick-witted thinker Penn Jillette also brought politics into his tweets, pointing out the relevance of his film "The Aristocrats" in a recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision.
The conversations weren't all political though. Rose McGowan showed off a shot a of the new dog she adopted and Demi Moore posted her own puppy shot of Ashton Kutcher rolling around on the set of his new movie "Five Killers." Meanwhile, "Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli was just innocently trying on a bikini and Russell Brand kept to what he does best, lacing an apology to his neglected Twitter followers with dog-and-leg-humping imagery. You'll find all of this and more below in the Twitter-Wood report for June 30, 2009. Read more...

It's true that much of the time directors and movie stars don't have anything better to do than you or me. However, when your springtime BBQ is a break from putting "Toy Story 3" together and your airline shenanigans come on the heels of the Korean premiere of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the tweets get much meatier.
Today, Kevin Smith comes into contact with the stuff of hockey legend, Tyrese Gibson and Charlyne Yi post some photos, and Rainn Wilson just acts like himself. It's just another day in the Twitter-Wood feed. But first, an extra rare tweet from writer Bret Easton Ellis clarifying in no uncertain terms what he thought of last weekend's surprise box office success "The Hangover." Read more...
FROM SPLASH PAGE: So comic book author and novelist Neil Gaiman isn't adapting Charles Burns' "Black Hole" -- but what is he adapting, then, from the pool of works not his own? (Besides “Fermata,” that is).
Gaiman’s teamed up with Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller) for “The Road to Endor” (and no, it has nothing to do with Star Wars). Written by EH Jones, it’s a true story of two World War I prisoners of war, one of whom was an amateur magician, who trick their guards into believing that they are in touch with the spirit world to plot their escape from a Turkish prison camp. Using Ouija boards, séances, mentalist scams, poltergeist effects, and fake suicides, they convince even the Camp Commander.
