This week, the entertainment news world discovered a new drug, and it's called Charlie Sheen. Yes, the Two and a Half Men actor was all over the headlines this week, after a series of media interviews shocked audiences and spawned a new generation of lingo, all derived from Sheen's crazy rants.

At press time, a Google news search for “Charlie Sheen” returned nearly 18,000 results. His zaniness only garnered more attention when he opened a Twitter account. By noon Friday Sheen had more than 1.5 million followers. In fact, Sheen shattered a Twitter world record. He reached the 1 million followers mark in 25 hours and 17 minutes, a feat which was confirmed by The Guinness World Book of Records.

It appears that he'll be using the website to help make up for some of the money he lost after his show was canceled. Sheen has signed on with a branding company that will pay him for marketed tweets.

Last week, we mentioned that John Galliano, the famed designer for Christian Dior, was also in the public eye for his drunken rants at a restaurant in Paris.

Though Awards Season has come to an end, there is still plenty of movie buzz to talk about this week.
