Twitter Mishap: Charlie Sheen's Number Goes Public Because of Justin Bieber
The year is about to end and for Charlie Sheen, what best way to celebrate it by announcing his number on Twitter?
Well, the actor did not exactly publicly post his personal number for his fans. It was simply a "slip-of-the-fingers" moment when Sheen accidentally tweeted his digits along with a message supposedly for the teen heartthrob Justin Bieber.
"310 954 7277. Call me bro. C," tweeted the former star of the show Two and a Half Men. The tweet was supposed to be a direct message to the Mistletoe singer Justin Bieber but instead it became a worldwide trending Twitter feed.
Fans immediately took the spur of the moment chance and sent messages to Sheen's number. In just a matter of minutes, Sheen's mobile phone received around 1800 text messages and a lot of calls. If that didn't fry his phone, what else would?
"Charlie's phone immediately went into meltdown," says a source to The Hollywood Reporter. "It was ringing wildly, and he got 1,800 text messages in minutes."
However, being the joker that he is, Sheen even answered a few of the calls saying "Winning " and "Ray's Pizza."
"But his phone just continued ringing and buzzing and eventually just completely melted down. Charlie was like, 'I guess I need a new phone," says the source. Sheen was currently at the Caesar's Palace restaurant at Las Vegas dining with his close friends when the calls and texts started to come in.
Thankfully, Charlie Sheen finally decided to get a new phone plan and the number he accidentally tweeted has been disconnected. As for his supposed contact, Justin Bieber, he has yet to contact Charlie Sheen and the singer had only one response to the mishap on Twitter.
"WINNING!" replied the Bieber to Sheen's Twitter mishap.
If Charlie Sheen was able to attract that much of attention on Twitter, wonder how much calls and texts the Bieber would get if he "accidentally" tweeted his digits?
