You'd have to be living under a rock to not have caught wind of the recent media frenzy surrounding Charlie Sheen. In case you're just unburying yourself from the landslide of recent buzz, it shakes down like this:

Sheen (who has always battled drug and alcohol addictions) spends time in and out of rehab. While 'out' in October of 2010 he's thrown out of a NY City hotel for causing $7,000 worth of damage to the room. Next, he's sued by an 'adult film star', goes on a bender, and gets checked into hospital. Sheen enters rehab. Producers of Charlie's hit show Two and a Half Men put the show on hiatus. 

Well, this recent stint in rehab has done one of two things for Charlie. Either sent him over the edge completely, or he's learning to express his feelings. He slams Two and a Half Men creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre on The Dan Patrick Show and the show is put on indefinite hiatus. Now the fun part begins: Charlie joins Twitter.

So what does the social web think of all of the controversy? Take a guess. (Answer: they love it.)
