Charlie Sheen Steadily Climbing Twitter Charts

Last week, this reporter discussed Charlie Sheen’s achievement when he was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest time accumulating 1 million Twitter followers. This week, he has seemingly “done it again,” reaching a count of 2 million this morning.

Less than one week after launching his Twitter account, Sheen stated, "Another record shattered. We gobbled the soft target that was 2.0 mil, like a bag of a troll-house zombie chow."

Sheen is rumored to soon begin tweeting endorsements and advertisements – a decidedly lucrative income for celebrities.

Let’s see how quickly Sheen can muster enough Twitter followers to top the charts alongside Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, President Barack Obama, and Lady Gaga, who currently holds the highest number of followers at 8.6 million.

Sheen added, “Hey Guinness, might wanna start writing them in pencil, #checkit; you've been warned."
