Brittany Murphy’s USO Tour Appearance, ‘Avatar’ In 3D And ‘Toy Story 3′ Finished In Today’s Twitter-Wood

Brittany Murphy and “Avatar” look poised to dominated Twitter-Wood’s thoughts this holiday week, even if most of the tweeters are leaving their offices to tweet from home and last-minute shopping expeditions right now. Alyssa Milano retweeted a photo taken when she and Murphy appeared on a USO tour together, reflecting on the time they spent there. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Banks, Samm Levine and David Spade all had different reactions to “Avatar” in 3D.

You can sort out what they had to say after the jump along with a former “Saved By the Bell” star’s denial of drunken behavior, Kevin Smith’s response to a tweeter about his wife’s Playboy photos and former Karate Kid Ralph Macchio on whether or not he plans on coming back to “Ugly Betty.” It’s all retweeted in the Twitter-Wood report for December 22, 2009.
