Charlie Sheen told TMZ ... the reason he's taken up Twitter is simple -- it's a "cash cow."
Sheen told us ... his primary motivation behind the new ramblings is that he can score a fortune through advertising. To give this some context, Kim Kardashian is reportedly pulling in $10,000 per tweet.
We pressed him more, and Charlie interrupted by saying, "Mike, I'm unemployed!"
In just 48 hours, Charlie has attracted 1.1 million followers.

Charlie has gone from Tweaking to Tweeting in just under 2 months. I say he's back tweaking soon enough.
From all these foolish interviews I've seen, it appears Charles has traded one addiction for another.
He is using pills too it seems.

"Kim, 30, can even earn thousands of dollars just by tweeting about a product or an event. The reality TV star - who has more than 6million Twitter followers - supposedly charges as much as $25,000 to mention and link to a brand or company in a tweet."

Actually, charlie has some great marketing opportunities, a tiger blood color cologne named VICTORY, and an endorsement by viagara or cialis, where he could console normal human men that have errectile disfunction and cannot perform like a super human with fire breathing fists....... spike lee can do the commercial.
