Charlie Sheen’s new Twitter account took just hours to attract more than half a million followers.
On Tuesday, the day production was due to resume on CBS’ Two and a Half Men after a break for Charlie’s personal troubles, his tweets were the only fresh entertainment starring the actor – unless news interviews also counted.
The Twitter account, which had been verified, featured a family-friendly photo of him and companion Bree Olson, smiling and holding up bottles of chocolate milk and juice over the caption, “Winning! Choose your vice.”
Another picture showed Sheen and a fake cake illustrated with an Oscar statuette bearing his face and ‘Oscar 2011’, with a caption reading “Winner! 2012”.
Charlie – who joined Twitter the day after his publicist Stan Rosenfield resigned – also included a one-liner about Chuck Lorre, the Two and a Half Men executive producer who’s taken the brunt of Sheen’s attacks in an escalating dispute with Warner Bros. Television and CBS.
“Just got invited to do the Nancy Grace show… I’d rather go on a long road trip with Chuck Lorre in a ’75 Pacer,” Charlie tweeted.
After giving the actor a break to seek rehabilitation following wild partying and three hospitalisations in three months, Warner and CBS announced last week they’d decided against resuming production on the remainder of the season, citing Charlie’s conduct and comments.
CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves has said he can’t predict whether Two and a Half Men will be back on the air.
Speaking at a conference in San Francisco, Moonves said he hoped the comedy show would return to CBS, adding: “We’ll see.”
Earlier this week Charlie told CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight he doesn’t rehab because “I’m a winner and their lives look like they’re – you know, ruled by losers.”
