Charlie Sheen becomes Twitter phenomenon
Despite the announcement of the Academy Awards this week, Charlie Sheen is still the man in Hollywood making headlines, and it now seems he will be doing so through his newly verified Twitter account.
The actor, who saw his Number 1 US sitcom Two and a Half Men shut down last week following a rant which insulted its producer, has now joined the microblogging platform, and within eight minutes of doing so found himself with 10,000 followers.
After only 24 hours he had amassed a following or over 500,000 and growing, while quickly becoming one of the main trending topics on the site.
