Twoppics, taking a look at what people on Twitter are saying about the hottest entertainment stories of the day...
Sunday means the final day of Comic Con in San Diego. The annual festival started out with comic books, but has evolved into TV and movies and brings out all the stars, including movie legend Steven Spielberg... The first Comic Con in 1970 drew about 300 fans...these days, it's over 100,000. And, on Twitter, the celebrities are just as much fans as anyone else, including Ron Howard...

writer and comedian Frank Conniff..
Would anyone have even gone to Comic-Con this weekend if they knew that "V.I. Warshawski" was on basic cable? I doubt it.

Linda Christian died in Palm Desert, California after battling colon cancer. She was 87.
Also passing away... Singer Amy Winehouse. Inspired by 60's girl groups like The Ronettes and The Shirelles, Winehouse fought a very public battle against drug and alcohol addiction that included a hit about refusing to go to rehab. She joins an unfortunate list of musicians who have died at age 27 that includes founding members of the Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain, to name a few. Among the messages on Twitter, her producer, Mark Ronson...
she was my musical soulmate & like a sister to me. this is one of the saddest days of my life

Lady Gaga, who credited Winehouse with helping pave her path to success...
Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

and Paramore lead singer Haley Williams...
Just read about Amy Winehouse. Can't believe it. She'll never truly be gone cause have you heard that voice? Rest In Peace Amy.
