Charlie Sheen can use his token phrase ‘winning’ one more time.
Guinness World Records confirmed that the troubled actor had the fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter, according to a press release on the Guinness World Records website.
The new record is 25 hours 17 minutes and was achieved by Sheen between March 1 and 2.
Sheen -- who’s been on a bizarre media circuit this week after news of his hit CBS show Two and a Half Men had been permanently suspended, his wife filed a restraining order and his kids were taken away from him -- opened his Twitter account this week so he could have a direct conversation with his fans to tell his side of the story.
Sheen joins the Twitter ranks with such high profile celebs as Lil Wayne, who set a new Guinness World Records title for the 'Most 'Likes' on a Single Facebook Post in 24 Hours' with 588,243 ‘Likes’. And Lady Gaga, who is the Most Searched-For Female on the Internet, according to the 2011 edition of the records book, beating out the previous top female search target, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
