Jon Cryer, Charlie Sheen's Two And A Half Men co-star, better watch out. He's just pissed-off a media mogul in the making: Charlie Sheen.
In an exclusive to E!, Sheen called Cryer a "turncoat," and said "Like I said: You're with me, or you're with the trolls Obviously he's with the trolls."
Sheen was responding to Jon Cryer's comments on Conan, where Cryer said:
It's always a little weird, because the stuff you hear is just unbelievable," he said when asked about his infamously troublemaking costar. "I'm checking TMZ, just like I do every day, to know if I have to go to work at all...There was a story, they found Charlie's car…at the bottom of a cliff," Jon said. "So, you're thinking, 'Wow, sure hope Charlie's OK.' He comes into work...You're checking for scratches. My mind had come up with this whole thing where he'd crashed the car and climbed his way back up the cliff...I said, 'How ya doing, man?' He said, 'I'm doing OK, except that somebody stole my car and ran it off a cliff last night...And normally you would not believe that from somebody. But from Charlie Sheen, you believe that. Because that happened to him. Twice. That actually happened...Apparently he had been hanging out with a porn star of some renown who had won the 2008 Best Anal...No, if you recall, 2008, that category was very tough. A lot of the ladies were stepping it up that year, and a few of the fellas.Now, how does Cryer know about the "2008 Best Anal," and why does he care? Conan should have asked him about that line. But I digress. It's obvious Cryer's not a friend, and more of a co-worker, or former co-worker. But in fairness to Jon, his paycheck was interrupted by Charlie's behavior, so why should the man care not to say anything?
While Conan got a nice bit of pub from Jon Cryer's comments, ironically enough, so did Charlie Sheen. What people don't get is is the more society talks about Sheen, the more powerful a media presence he becomes. Now, Sheen's reached 2.3 million Twitter Followers @Charliesheen, and up from 1.3 million just last Thursday. And even though Sheen's overall ranking of 82,848 has not improved - it's down from the 80,000 of last week - he shows signs of improving that as well.
The simple reason for the poor ranking is Sheen's not issuing a lot of retweetable updates. He's too in the habit of tweeting without links to other sites or videos. But with that, Sheen is starting to do just that, and he's learning to retweet more often, too.
But the real deal is he's got a massive following that's growing to ever larger proportions. It looks like my projection of 6 million Twitter followers over the next month or so is on schedule.
