In between the self-promotion (watch my show!), the responses to fans (thanks for watching my show!) and the revelations of personal minutiae (I'm going to the gym before I watch my show!), famous people take to Twitter to comment on the news of the world.
With Rob Lowe and Anderson Cooper on the revolution in Egypt, Donald Glover and Adrian Grenier anticipating the SuperBowl and Damon Lindelof still defending the final episode of "Lost," here are some highlights of the week — after the jump — as captured in tweets from actors, show runners, TV anchors and reality stars.

"Twin Peaks" and "The X-Files," two groundbreaking series that had a tremendous influence on shows dealing with the fantastic and supernatural, will be honored with tribute episodes on two current series.
USA Network's "Psych" will pay homage to "Twin Peaks" on Dec. 1 with the episode "Dual Spires," cowritten by the series star James Roday. Appearing in the installment will be several members of the "Twin Peaks" cast, including Sheryl Lee, Sherilynn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook, Robyn Lively, Lenny Von Dohlen, Catherine Coulson and Ray Wise.
The CW's "Supernatural" will salute the "The X Files" on Saturday in the episode "Clap Your Hands If You Believe." An opening montage and credit sequence will feature elements, musical cues and visuals that will be very familiar to "X-Files" fans.
