Fast FiveTwo days have passed since the world learned that Osama bin Laden has been killed, but the conversation rages on within the Hollywood community -- on Twitter, at least. One star gave some thoughts to the terrorist leader's final regrets, while another comedian wants to deploy the team that killed bin Laden on a different but no less dangerous mission.

Meanwhile, the Tony nominations were announced and "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "The Book of Mormon" leads the pack, making one filmmaker a very happy camper. And it turns out that "Fast Five" is capable of more than making money -- it also kills boredom.

Damon Lindelof has voiced his opinions on the "American Idol" judge lineup before, and this week's announcement that Jennifer Lopez or Steven Tyler would be replacing Simon Cowell on the show didn't inspire a flattering comparison from him. One new face on last night's "Glee" season premiere, meanwhile, did draw a compliment from Virginia Madsen.

In other tweets, Milla Jovovich shared a photo of her dress for "The Three Musketeers," while Seth Green had some fierce words for another Twitter user about his wife. All of this drama was accompanied by a goodbye tweet from Paris Hilton addressed to her Asian fans when she was forced to leave Japan prematurely. You can find out who Green was talking, as well as what Wes Craven had to say about wrapping "Scream 4."

Photo posts swarmed the Twitter-Wood feed today with James Woods, Michael Madsen, Marlon Wayans and a couple of former "Full House" stars all showing up. Paris Hilton's easily contained the most drama, though, capturing what she said was a wannabe burglar who tried to rob her house only to be hauled away by the police.

Elsewhere, "Vampire Diaries" writer and executive producer Kevin Williamson commented on current events the TV series "True Blood," and if you watch both of them, you may be interested to read what he had to say. Check it out below where you'll also find reactions to "Piranha 3D" and "The Last Exorcism."

UPDATE: Internet weirdness left this post out of yesterday's publish, despite the fact that it WAS actually published. So... enjoy your day late Twitter-Wood, and keep an eye out for TODAY'S Twitter-Wood later!

Super Saver may have won the 2010 Kentucky Derby, but Fran Drescher won today's Twitter Pic of the Day with her Audrey Hepburn homage and modest hat for the event. Rain was not enough to scare her away from the race or the camera, it would appear.

A few tweets in the feed were decidedly less upbeat, though, as word broke that Oscar-nominated actress Lynn Redgrave passed away. An array of post from Alyssa Milano and Brody Stevens to Virginia Madsen and Denise Richards shared Twitter-Wood's collective reactions to her death. You can read a few of them after the jump, where you'll also find a quick update on "The Last Airbender" and Ashton Kutcher's advice to potential iPad buyers.

It was a big day in Twitter-Wood for sports with the NFL Draft kicking off and the Los Angeles Kings' series-tying loss to the Vancouver Canucks last night. Alyssa Milano got in on the pre-party NFL action, according to her tweets, while one "Twilight" actress showed up at the Kings/Canucks match to root against L.A.

Elsewhere, Earth Day was on people's minds and was even powerful enough to get Michelle Rodriguez back on for a post. You can check out what she said, along with Jim Carrey's prediction for a Sarah Palin presidency, Lee Unkrich's continuing thoughts as "Toy Story 3" production winds down and a shot of Eliza Dushku having fun.

If you noticed an abnormal amount of red in your Twitter feed today, it's because much of the Twitterverse and Twitter-Wood population was observing World AIDS Day. Russell Brand, Paris Hilton, Virginia Madsen and Ashton Kutcher were among those tweeting for awareness -- though Brand predictably did so with lighter sensibilities.

In other tweetage, Rainn Wilson has officially attempted to sooth any offense John Cusack might have taken from a comment he made about "2012." Check out the exchange after the jump along with the "New Moon" wolf pack as you've never seen them before, an epic Stanley Kubrick book and Diablo Cody's kitty litter smell problems.

From the first days of Twitter, fake accounts have been popping up on a weekly basis -- particularly for "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" actors. Peter Facinelli tweeted out loud and clear today that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart don't have Twitter names. Meanwhile, Tom Felton announced that following his success recruiting Warwick Davis, he may be close to convincing Daniel Radcliffe to come aboard.

There's plenty of room on the Internet for all of them if they make the move, but the Twitter-Wood feed's getting more and more crowded by the day. Virginia Madsen today became our first video poster of note, with a quick clip just off the set of what I'm assuming is "Father of Invention." Elsewhere, Demi Moore demonstrated once again what a valuable tool Twitter is for glimpsing into her marriage life with Ashton Kutcher. You can click down to check out all of those and find out who stood up front for the Jonas Brothers concert last night in the Twitter-Wood report for August 12, 2009. Read More...

John HughesFew directors produce a body of work that syncs with a decade as well as John Hughes' work did with the 1980s. From "Sixteen Candles" to "Ferris Bueller's " and "The Breakfast Club," he gave everyone who ever lived through high school someone to relate to. His power wasn't lost on on filmgoers or today's filmmakers, both of whom inhabit the Twitter-Wood follow list.

Filmmakers including Kevin Smith and Diablo Cody, who both picked up the plight of the high school misanthrope from Hughes, as well as other stars like Rainn Wilson and Eliza Dushku tweeted in with their memories of Hughes' movies this afternoon, and many of them recalled what it was like come to his movies in the middle of the same kinds of real-life melodramas that he tackled.

Jeremy PivenNorth Korea's release of American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee today proved once again how quickly the news pipeline flows into the Twitter-Wood feed. Actors like John Cusack, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan were among the first to express their support via tweets and celebrate the pair's pardon, which followed closed-door negotiations with former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Piven's appearance on WWE RAW last night earned him Trending status on Twitter's sidebar, and he responded in kind by posting my selection for Twitter Pic of the Day (narrowly beating out Cusack). Thirdly, anyone with a soft spot for Disney tween and teen celebs will want to read the gushing exchange between Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale that took place today. It's all in the mix below in the Twitter-Wood Report for August 4, 2009. Read More...
