If the news involves a celebrity doing something crazy with a gun, chances are it will register in the Twitterverse, and when "Men in Black" and "30 Rock" actor Rip Torn was arrested for allegedly breaking into a bank over the weekend, both Victor Gischler and Edgar Wright took notice.
Bon Jovi and the Grammy Awards were also at the top of the trends list this morning, with Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Ryall weighing in on on how important the nominated artist is to the music world. Brad Meltzer, meanwhile, was checking out the NFL Pro Bowl. Check out those tweets after the jump along with Gail Simone's thoughts on the the animated version of "The Black Freighter" and Mike Deodato's thoughts on "Dark Avengers" #15.
They're all in the Twitter Report for February 1, 2010.
