Charlie Sheen And His Twitter Account

By now everyone must know that Charlie Sheen is a winner, at least according to him anyway. In a sad tribute to society as a whole, he has won his place in history with a record confirmed by Guinness Book of World Records. Between March 1 and 2, in a time span of 25 hours and 17 minutes, he reached the infamous goal of the gaining the most, and fastest ever followers on Twitter, one million to be exact.
Please note, he didn't do it single handedly. Forbes reports that he got help from the team at a Beverly Hills start-up that focuses on celebrity endorsements via Facebook and Twitter. The company, Ad.ly secured Sheen's verified account and then spent a couple of hours on the phone with Sheen and a friend explaining the tools of Twitter: hashtags, bit.ly, twitpic, and how to use Twitter to build an audience and keep them engaged.
PopWatch reports that, "You would think that a "Charlie Sheen Twitter Account" would be filled with nonstop ravings and pictures of Sheen enjoying all-day hot tub siestas with his goddess-galpal-nannies. Nothing could be further from the truth. His first tweet was an image of Goddess #1 and Sheen grinning and waving around a couple of drinks." Goddess Uno, was holding a Naked drink, Sheen holding what appears to be chocolate milk. "You could sense the teasing subtext: What's more adorable and non-Sheen-like than chocolate milk?" Aahh, how sweet. Next up, Sheen "alternated between the willfully weird by tweeting a photo of himself holding a cake illustrated with his face on an Academy Award, (was that PhotoShop or is there a new overnight sensation bakery bakery in town?) and "the everyman posturing of "I'm here for my people." His vague reference to events that will dominate the news within an hour; "My sons' are fine My path is now clear Defeat is not an option..!" he proclaimed, just before reports emerged that the actor had surrendered his children to police custody. Comedian/actress Natasha Leggereo tweeted, "Charlie Sheen is our Egypt."
Back in February, when his "people" were still trying to protect his image, Sheen's reps raced to shut down a new Twitter account seemingly belonging to the actor. Somebody using the Twitter handle "@ciestevez" and the name "Carlos Estevez", Sheen's real name, recently joined the social media site.

The Twitter page also use a photo of Sheen sitting next to Two and a Half Men co-star Angus T. Jones and contains just one post: "Last I counted I had four beautiful children, Kirstie." The post seemed to be in response to Kirstie Alley, whose Twitter account is one of ten that "Carlos Estevez" is following.

But there was one problem, it wasn't really Sheen's account. Sheen's since-resigned publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, said he first learned of the faux account when he a received an email that his own Twitter feed was being followed by the faux actor. "That's like showing up at a bank robbery when the cops are still there," Rosenfeld said.

Back to the future, the actor continues the tweets in hopes of lining up endorsements, for what, we're not sure. There is still one bit of hope. On Sheen's Twitter account along with a smiling photo of himself, it says, "(unemployed winner.) At least he realizes he's unemployed!
