He's an actor, a warlock, he's 2 men, he's a nymphomaniac and drug addict, he's a father and serial husband and let us not forget, he's a winner.
Even though it sounds like I'm describing the Governator, Arnold will never come close to being the bad boy Charlie Sheen is....especially these days..... It just doesn't matter that you look like a pile of smoked butts when you're winning.
SO....on that note.
We're paying tribute to the women who've had the b*lls to enter the funhouse called Charlie Sheen, only to come out the other side laughing maniacally....literally.
Paula Profitt
At age 16, Sheen fathered a child with her. He set her up with a house and trust fund so she wouldn't abort the baby.
Winona Ryder
Caught shoplifting in Beverly Hills in 2001 which translated into 3 years probation. Apparently she was high during her trial.
Heidi Fleiss
Moving on.
Cathy St.George
Playmate of the month for August 1982. He puts his bib on, playboy bunnies are on the menu.
Kelly Preston
They got engaged in 1990 and then he accidentally shot her in the arm. So she went for someone normal like John Travolta.
Ginger Lynn
Convicted in 1991 for falsifying a tax return. She once said, " It wasn't that Charlie wasn't a good lover, he just needed to learn to pay attention to someone other than himself..."
Stephanie Seymour
She couldn't decide between Axl Rose and the Warlock.
Heather Hunter
Porn star. She was inducted into the Adult Video Hall of Fame in 2003.
Donna Peele
She and he got hitched in 2005. Also that year, he admitted under oath that he had spent 50k on prostitutes. The winning begins.
Brittany Ashland
Sheen was charged with misdemeanor battery against Brittany. Later that year, he overdosed on cocaine.
Summer Altice
Playboy playmate. Porn star and esteemed academy nominee for her role in " The Scorpion King".
Brooke Mueller
Sheen was arrested on domestic violence charges against Brooke. He spent 30 days in jail. She lost custody of their twin boys to her parents after she allegedly pawned off jewelry to buy crack.
Capri Anderson
Porn star. She was with Sheen at the New York Plaza Hotel the infamous night he caused 7k damages to his room. She locked herself in the washroom to protect herself. We soon discovered he couldn't get it up and his career was just about done.
Gigi Rivera
Gigi was with Sheen when the paramedics arrived after his famous 36-hour sex-and-drug bender crash.
Kacey Jordan
So was this porn star.
Bree Olson
Porn star and Penthouse pet. Bree is one of Charlie's current GFs. She retired from porn to be with the winner, stating: "As long as I'm with Charlie. Be sure you put that in there though. 'As long as I'm with Charlie, I am retired.' "

40 reasons why Twitter chose a 140 character max.
I'm sure as is the case with most of you who use Twitter, I've found myself on many occasions struggling to get my message to fit in the 140 characters allotted by our friends at Twitter. - 48 ... shit.
Errr...
Sometimes it's hard to say what you want to say in 140 characters, let alone RTs and @peoples' names included. Agreed? 21 ....Phewf!
So without further ado, below is 40 possible reasons why the people at Twitter may have cut off our form of expression at 140 characters.
Would love to hear your suggestions...let's get it to 140 shall we?
1. 139 just doesn't sound cool.
2. Someone at Twitter was inspired because they got laid here? http://www.hotel140.com/
3. Bea Arthur was turning 140 the year Twitter was created.
4. Perhaps it had something to do with this moron: http://t.co/9Hq6tJa
5. Jack Dorsey loves to fish and can't do without the fish finder 140: cf-lg.jpg
6. Who has time to read 141 characters anymore?
7. The original address was 140 from which 'Twitter operated?
8. Maybe because Mashable requested it.
9. I'm at 9 and i have a long way to go, holy shit!
10. Twitter was built on this bad boy: http://lowendmac.com/pb/powerbook-140.html
11. Stupid people say stupid things. Do you really want to read more than 140 characters of nonsense?
12. "I want your ugly, i want your disease . I want your everything as long as it's free. I want your love. Love , love , love I want your love ." - Is exactly 140 characters.
13. The average American woman is 5'4" and weighs 140 pounds. This site was dedicated to their average wives?
14. 1 year ago, Ashton Kutcher complained that there weren't enough characters for his inspiring messages and so they shortened it to 140 from 160 just to spite him.
15. There are 73 calories in 140 grams of Golden Delicious Apples. I bet this is the reason!
16. Is it because Mozart died in 140 ways? http://t.co/d5UsbMo
17. A geoduck can live to 140 years old! The F*ck's a geoduck? http://www.manandmollusc.net/geoduck.html
18. If you have a lisp, you're probably adding an 's' to every word. That will dramatically eat up you characters.
19. It probably started out at 100 but then they needed to add spaces so that teens didn't write like this "Yowadupwhereyoubbeenshiiiticalledyoulike5timesbro"
20. Does 140 mean anything in Scientology?
21. By day 140, a baby has eyelashes and all of their bones have developed in their womb. I know, this is more fact than reason.
22. Characters and spaces take up about one fourth of your tweets.
23. Kim Kardashian's address is at 140 somethin' somethin'.
24. Perhaps someone at Twitter is fond of this: http://www.trailruntimes.com/?p=830 . Puke.
26. There is a 140 calorie difference between Coke and Diet Coke. Oh, it's a diet thing.
27. A Twitter username can be up to 15 characters. When you add RT@, you've used up 18 characters without writing a thing.
28. Time Magazine's top 140 Twitter feeds: http://t.co/9yHWfJb
29. Perhaps they figured there were only 140 things to do on Twitter: http://bit.ly/ePUH6m
30. It is the maximum number of characters of one text message. This would be a dumb reason.
31. Oprah owns a 140 countries...and counting. She could 'Own' Twitter too but chose to be merciful.
32. The driving distance from San Francisco (Twitter HQ) to Tuolumne, CA is 140 miles...the commuting is killing someone!

40. Twitter has dedicated its 140 characters to Charlie Sheen's 140 Goddesses.

To Tweet or NOT to Tweet
When Twitter first surfaced, I signed up like millions of others with no clue whatsoever as to why. I suppose it was because everywhere i turned and every website i visited, that little bird was staring at me. I tweeted for my first time and then waited....and waited....refreshed...and then waited some more. Hmmm, no followers to be had. But my tweet was so witty and funny?
Looking back now i realize that it's no different then going to a rock concert and yelling something out and hoping people would turn away from the show and be more interested in what i had to say...no offence Mick! So i simply flipped the bird to the bird and walked away satisfied that Twitter could do nothing for me.
Fast Forward a year later and now find myself overrun by Twitter-itus. As our company continues to grow, the choice of being 'Social Media' proactive has been decided for me much like CDs laid waste to Cassettes and the internet is laying waste to CDs. What's next, a Justin Bieber holograph in your livingroom? Yikes.
I enjoy Twitter like i enjoy hanging with a tween:
Talking about a lot of stuff i couldn't care less about, most of which is mispeled and written in acronyms (AFAIK).
OR
Feeling like I'm a part of some popularity contest (Follow me and I'll follow you back....Omg, yay!.....o.k. now what? Omg!)
BUT, every once in a while, that Tween will say something downright thoughtful, or helpful or just plain hilarious. As a matter of fact, the more i grow to understand Twitter and appreciate the benefits of it, the more tweens (ahum, still being used as a metaphor here) i become connected to. My network is slowly growing and is now becoming an invaluable source of information, advice and connections.
One thing's for sure, growing your network on Twitter can be hugely rewarding but it takes work and commitment. If you're unsure, befriend a Tween, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Is it Crucial? Me thinks yes if you want to stay in the game.
