Self-proclaimed "winner" Charlie Sheen managed to get himself a Guinness World Record for getting to one million Twitter followers within days of joining - and that was without saying anything.

It took Sheen just 25 hours and 17 minutes to reach a million followers after joining Twitter on 1 March, and the world has spent days waiting with baited breath for the troubled actor to open his mouth. But now that he has, we're sort of wishing he hadn't; apparently Sheen joined Twitter as it's a "cash cow".

Sheen has signed a deal to deliver product advertising on Twitter, according to the New York Post, and has already started posting pictures of himself holding things, presumably for money.

But we're too clever to fall for such tactics, aren't we? ... Apparently not. After Sheen posted the picture above, the California dairy making the chocolate milk in question was inundated with calls from potential customers.

"Born Small... Now Huge... Winning... Bring it..!", Sheen has written as his Twitter description, not entirely unfounded, it seems, judging from the responses. But at least the actor is not devoid of humour, having added one last phrase: "Unemployed winner...".

ladygagaheartbeats3.jpgNow I'm not really one for celebrity technology but I had to mention these new headphones, launched by pop starlet Lady Gaga.

Following in the steps of Dr Dre who launched a similar product a while back, Heartbeats, which have been made by Monster are said to be engineered to deliver the music as 'the artist intended you to hear'.

They are said to offer 'high-end sonic clarity and a pounding bass that should do justice to any tune'.

Noel Lee, head of Monster, said: 'There is no headphone that sounds quite like it, regardless of price.'

In keeping with Lady Gaga's style the headphones are jewel encrusted, come with multiple ear-tips and a travel case. They also have the Monster ControlTalk feature, which will let you answer phone calls on your iPhone.

The headphones haven't reached us over here in the UK yet but will soon be on sale in America for around $100-$150.

Ah Carol, mistress of so many things, from strange detox diets to complicated calibrations of the Countdown kind. She's using her many talents to support Britons getting fit, by teaming up with Nintendo to launch Active Health on the DS.

The game follows in the same vein as the soon to be released EA Active and already popular My Health Coach by allowing players an easy way to monitor their calorific intake, work out their BMI and get a tailored exercise plan.

Intel is sponsoring the Digital Artist awards, and who better than to run their masterclass in the art of drawing comics than the delightful Dave Gibbons from Watchmen fame. I was lucky enough to get the chance to attend a session with him, and grabbed some alone time with the man himself afterwards.

In person he's surprisingly easy to talk to, and though I may have come across as a slightly addled fan, we managed to talk through his favourite comics, how technology advances aid his work nowadays, and of course, his relationship with Alan Moore...

Well I am, for a start - but this isn't about me. Someone else, someone famous can't seem to contain themselves while showing off their hot Blackberry Bold to waiting paps. In fact she seems almost euphoric... and she's only touching it. If you could see her facial expression, you would know this is one excitable Blackberry Bold owner. But is it really the Bold that's got her acting like a kid in a candy shop? Could she be deliberately trying to avert her embarrassment for the over made clown and creepy clown standing obtrusively by her side? Perhaps. But he looks just as excited as she does. It's surreal to say the least and I'd love to know what on earth is going on.

But who is she? Well, she's an actress (a pretty good one actually) who can do a mean English accent and is well known for playing one of the film industry's most unlucky in love characters. The clown is no clue.

Not so long ago Dre famously brought out the Beats, a seriously impressive pair of 'phones that amazed us all with their crystal clear audio quality and stylish packaging. Well it seems his product awakened Snoop Doggs competitive spirit and he decided to get a piece of the audio action. He's teamed up with Skullcandy to create his own line of shizzling headphones, and they seriously rock.

Sony Ericsson's latest phone may be lacking terms of megapixels (it has only 3.2) but in terms of style it aims to place itself at the forefront of the market. To this end, it has enlisted tennis star Sharapova to pose with the handset. The phone lights up every time you receive a call and you can personalise it to turn different colours depending on the caller.

eva1.jpgWho's the good looking gal with the Blackberry? Well, she recently topped a new magazine poll to find the sexiest woman on US TV. She also got paid to have multiple kissing sessions with Jesse Metcalfe (lucky girl) and reached number 14 in the FHM Sexiest Woman poll in 2008.

Like a significant number of celebs, this woman clearly knows how important it is to have her Blackberry permanently affixed to her hand at all times - and she's doing a good job clasping it with her clutch bag. This lady sure isn't desperate but she is the wife of a rather lofty gentleman who would definitely make you double take if he walked past.

Robert Downy Jnr1.jpgYou can't see the gurn just yet, but trust me, this guy is gurning at his Blackberry hard. But who is he? Well, he's an actor - I'll give you that much - and a bloody great one at that, but what else? He was nominated for an Oscar this year for his portrayal of a black man in a hilariously funny film, he's associated with Charlie Chaplin and is notoriously known for drug related deviance, time in prison and eventually overcoming his mahoosive drug addiction. My final clue (that'll probably give it all away) is that he was cast as the title character of a well known comic book adaptation.

See after the jump to put an end to your intrigue...

Well well, who's this piece of eye candy keeping a firm grip on his Blackberry Storm? I know you can't make a verdict on his eye candy status just yet, but trust me when I say... yum *swoon*. He's known for being on, then off, then on again with someone who was unceremoniously dumped by arguably one of the hottest guys on the planet so he could be with one of the hottest women to have ever graced the silver screen (it really sucked to be her around that time). His talents lie in the guitar playing/song writing/entertainer department and he's quite good at what he does too (although there are many many people who would disagree).

Fan of Dave Chapelle? Well, this person appeared with his guitar in one of his sketches about people's uncontrollable ability to get up and dance whenever they hear an electric guitar riff.

Whether you're a believer in the Sony P Series or not, it's hard not to drool when someone delicately places one in your lap. It might have been that I was blinded by fashion, but last night at the William Tempest fashion show, the P Series certainly seemed to hold its own against the scary-looking models.

We were there to witness the unveiling of the clutch bag that William Tempest has designed for the P Series, as well as stare in wonderment at the bea-OOO-tiful clothes he showcased. The clutch is currently being given to VVVVIPs, but there are plans afoot to make it available as a limited edition for the likes of you and I.

Click on over to find out the contents of the good bag and for a ridiculous photo of me posing with the clutch. And yes, that clutch does match his shirt. I know, right?

rihanna_chris_brown1.jpgWho's this lovely lady who appears to be waaay more into her Blackberry than her boyfriend? She's been in the media *a lot* this week and it's not been good news. I won't make it too obvious (all it takes is two words), but all I will say is it involves a bit of domestics with her other half. The speculation is - did he, didn't he? There has been a hell of *a lot* of rumours doing the rounds in various media outlets, even Leona Lewis has been dragged into it. But the truth still hasn't been announced. Just what really did happen a few nights ago (I'm dying to know)?

Here are some other facts about our celeb in question. She wants to be the black Madonna, she's responsible for one of the most annoying/catchy songs of 2008 (delete as appropriate) and has a thing for tight dominatrix style leather.

He's featured in our Guess the Celebrity feature before, but who is this finely dressed gentleman deeply engrossed in his Blackberry? Any clue about this person will result in immediate and accurate guesses on your behalf - so instead, I'm going to provide a few clues that you'll only know about if you are truly obsessed with this very powerful individual.

He was recently caught reading emails on his Blackberry, during his daughter's soccer football match, only to be slapped on the wrist by his missus, prompting him to return it to that unattractive holster. He's a well known Zune user and knows his way around Apple gadgetry.

You guys may be tired of our CES coverage by now, but did you know that the AVN show took place at the same time? That meant a plethora of excitement for our naughty toys section, and we got to ask the star of Pirates and Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge a lot of questions about herself.

Jesse Jane is known for being one of the first adult stars to film in HD DVD, and just won an award for the Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene in her Cheerleaders movie this year.

We want to know all about her likes and dislikes, and her favourite gadgets. And wouldn't you know it- the sexy star has a penchant for Apple products...

It's good to see a celebrity getting as excited about his sexy phone as the rest of us. But who is this celeb of whom I speak? Here's a clue - he's featured in our 'guess the celebrity' feature before, for showing a lack of love and respect for his Macbook air when he threatened to "break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!" whilst venting his frustration on his blog about a gig related blunder.

He's notoriously known for his rageful outbursts and hissyfits, namely at the MTV awards, but you've got to give him his props. He is a bloody fantastic music producer, rapper and song writer. This however, does not justify his childish and churlish attitude and self-important tirades. He also makes excessive use of that robot voice thingy, or autotune (how it's officially known) which he uses profusely, throughout the entirety of his latest album.

Looks like someone's been to see Jacob the jeweller. They call him Skateboard P, but can you guess who the red hatted one is posing with the 19 karat iPhone?

Now this guy is a nerd in every sense of the word (hey that rhymes). His music production company is named after one of the planets - specifically the one that's 17 times the mass of Earth - and he likes to sing about girls waiting in line for the bathroom. He's a hot commodity in his line of work, with loads of famous artists practically throwing money at him to make their next track a hit. Oh, and he's also "a PC, like BG".

Got it? Ok, one more hint. His group did a track which featured Alesha Dixon in the video, sparking rumours that she was cheating on her boyfriend (which ironically, he did the year after) with lyrics such as: 'Mister! Look at your girl, she loves it! (I know you love it girl) I can see it in her eyes. She - hopes this lasts forever'.

mariah1.jpgWho's this hot celeb looking too hot to trot while talking away on her Blackberry Curve? As far as diva demands go, this super diva is up there with the likes of J-Lo, Madonna and Celine Dion. Some of these demands include de-humidifiers (to protect her voice), cuddly kittens, tea service for eight (made only with Poland Spring Water), no stairs (she doesn't "do" them), Cristal, champagne glasses and bendy straws. Who could she be? Whoever she is, she's a little bit up herself. I wonder what she does when there's no lift? Probably get one of her many members of staff to carry her. She's been around for eons, so perhaps that's what makes her think these kinds of diva-ish demands are justifiable, although I'm sure her minions don't feel that way.

She's come a long way since first stepping on the scene with her huge lungs and amazing vocal abilities - from an all in one Christmas romper (or jump suit), to bikinis, figure hugging jeans and belly tops and generally anything that shows cleavage, high thigh and plenty of skin all over. What are the kiddy-esque outfits about? She's also recently married a great piece of man candy.

Barack_obama1.jpg

I'm not sure I'd even call this man a celebrity. If celebrities are A list, this guy is A*** list. Oh yes, this guy is pretty special. I could end this with just a few words and basically give away the answer, but as you should be aware by now - it's never that easy. So here come the clues. First things first, this guy loves his Zune. He recently worked his arse off in one of the biggest campaigns America has seen in a long time. He's also taken a lot of stick for doing what he believes in, as has some of his fellow supporters. He's got two gorgeous little daughters who'll be getting a new puppy in the New Year, a devoted wife and he's won the hearts of many around the world.

Got it yet? You should have done. Ok, a final clue - next year he is going to change the face of America as we know it. If you haven't got it by now - where have you been?

2008 has been a long year. Obama was elected, the iPhone 3G came out and we've had the Android phone. In Celebsville we've seen Vanessa Hudgens grow up, Britney make a comeback and Alesha Dixon top the charts. But how is this reflected in search engine traffic? We take a look at Yahoo's top celeb searches of the year and have compiled them for you in a nice little gallery. I wonder if the results will surprise you...
