The glorious, cocaine-fueled chaos that is Charlie Sheen has officially joined Twitter. This momentous marriage of modern technology and good ol’ self-destruction occurred on Tuesday, at about 5pm EST. By 5:08pm, the Twitter-verified account had already reached 10,000 followers. An hour later, it had reached 100,000.

This morning, @CharlieSheen is well above 720,000 followers. And that number will probably seem antiquated by the time you read this. Sheen’s custom hashtag, #Tigerblood is the top trending term in the US, at the time of this writing. He has posted 12 tweets since he joined.

One of those tweets, posted at around 1am EST, reads: “My sons’ are fine… My path is now clear… Defeat is not an option..!” That optimistic little number was posted just after police removed Sheen’s twin sons, 2-year-olds Bob and Max, from the porn star-loving actor’s Los Angeles, California, home. So that’s nice.

Not to be confined to a simple 140 characters, Sheen has also been utilizing TwitPic, having posted pictures with three out of his 12 tweets. One picture shows Sheen with porn star Bree Olson, each holding their favorite beverage. Another is of Sheen holding a painting (?) of an Academy Award statue with Sheen’s face on it, which reads “Oscars 2011.” And the last is of Sheen’s arm and hand, adorned with watch and ring.

In case you missed it: Sheen has been in the news constantly since the end of January, when he was hospitalized (for a hernia) after a “wild” 36-hour cocaine binge with five porn stars.

Following that rock star-level debacle, episodes of Sheen’s show, “Two and a Half Men,” were cancelled, leaving the future of the series in limbo, all due to a controversial CBS radio interview during which Sheen made disparaging remarks about the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre.

Since then, Sheen has been on a ranting rampage, having appeared on both “The Today Show” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” to further discuss his CBS interview, and his unquenchable hunger for drugs and porn stars.

Now, it appears his rants will continue on Twitter, where the entire world can witness the completely awesome disintegration of a Hollywood legend. Win, Charlie. Just win.

It's always a big game when Duke comes to town, and on Monday night, they'll be in Charlottesville to play the Virginia Cavaliers. Duke (22-3) is first in the ACC and making its claim to be one of the nation's best teams. Virginia (13-12) is ninth in the ACC and will likely miss the NCAA Tournament. This will be the only regular-season matchup between Duke and Virginia.
Duke's Cooper Flagg is one of the frontrunners for National Player of the Year. Flagg leads Duke in points (19.8), rebounds (7.5), assists (4.0), steals (1.6), and blocks (1.2). Duke has a shot to win their first National Championship since 2014-2015. For the Cavaliers, it's been a season to forget. The struggles were expected after Tony Bennett abruptly resigned weeks before opening night.

It's a battle of ACC rivals on Monday night as the Duke Blue Devils (20-5) travel to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (22-2). It will be the lone regular season matchup for these two teams. However, they could square off at next month's ACC Tournament. Notre Dame enters the game first in the ACC, while Duke is third.
Notre Dame lost consecutive games on November 29 and 30. The Fighting Irish have won 17 straight games since those losses. Notre Dame is led by Hannah Hidalgo, the sensational sophomore averaging 25.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists. If Notre Dame has a deep run this March, it will be on the back of Hidalgo. The Blue Devils don't have the star power of Notre Dame, but Toby Fournier and Ashlon Jackson make for a solid 1-2 punch. Duke has won eight of their last nine, with the lone loss coming at the hands of NC State.
Both teams want to finish the season strong as they head into the final stretch. Find out how to watch the game between Duke and Notre Dame, including the start time, TV channel, and streaming options. Read our NCAA women's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.
