(Newser) – Charlie Sheen was hit with a barrage of phone calls and text messages after accidentally tweeting his phone number last week, ultimately causing his phone to suffer a "meltdown," a witness tells the New York Post. "It was ringing wildly, and he got 1,800 text messages in minutes. Charlie saw the funny side and answered the phone a few times, saying things like ‘Ray’s Pizza’ and ‘Winning.’"

Making the story far more humorous: Sheen tweeted the number in an effort to get Justin Bieber to call him; we'd pay good money to know what that was about. "310-954-7277 Call me bro. C," Sheen tweeted, in what was apparently supposed to be a private message. Though he quickly deleted the accidental tweet, it had already been retweeted. Not surprisingly, the actor's rep confirms Sheen just got a new phone number.

Charlie's obviously a train wreck waiting to happen every day but he was great on 2 &1/2 men and the new show pretty much sucks without him.

I'd rather get thousands of random calls than one call from that Bieber kid.

"after 'accidentally' tweeting his phone number" Yeah, that's believable. This guy will do anything for desperate publicity.
