USMagazine, Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 6:15am (PDT)

Big Bird is so two weeks ago.

Tuesday evening's second Presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney saw both contenders hit the floor in a town-hall style meeting at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York -- and the proceedings between Obama, 51, and Romney, 65, were noticeably more spirited and at time combative as CNN's Candy Crowley moderated.

Hollywood celebrities weighed in -- via Twitter, of course -- on the fiery discussion, which touched upon women in the workforce, single parents, immigration, gun control, the recent tragedy in Libya and more.
