According to a report on Mashable.com,Charlie Sheen set a new Guinness World Record for the "Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers."  This award was approved on Thursday morning according to Dan Barrett, the Guinness community manager.

Sheen made a Twitter account on March 1 and within a matter of minutes he had upwards of 60,000 followers.  He reached the million followers milestone in just 25 hours and 17 minutes.

Sheen had this to say regarding his instant Twitter fame:

"In all sincerity... Thank you Twitter community for the warm reception & the followers that helped get me to 1M in 24 hours!!! #teamsheen"

As you probably know, after reports of drug and alcohol abuse, prostitutes and porn stars, and domestic disputes with his ex wife, Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen has been right in the middle of a media frenzy.  Most recently, it was been reported that he had two prostitutes taking care of his children before his ex-wife took them from him and got a restraining order.

Also, according to CBS News, as of Monday, Sheen is no longer a part "Two and a Half Men," the hit TV show for which he also holds a Guinness record for “Highest Paid TV Actor Per Episode — Current” at $1.25 million. Although I personally cannot keep up with Sheen's dramatic lifestyle, let's just hope it gets smoother from here on out.

I just checked Charlie Sheen's Twitter page and he now has over 2 million followers in just a week.  I've been on Twitter for months and I only have a mere 117, therefore, I would say Charlie Sheen is #winning.
