Charlie Sheen's Winning Hit Song

If you've seen this bizarre interview of Charlie Sheen, you probably thought "Whoah, how can Charlie Sheen get his career back on track after this?"

Sad, really. Such a good actor, reduced to a joke and now a "hit song" (7 million plus views!) by the folks behind Songify This.



You must admit, it's funny in a sad kind of way.

We got Maria on Ellen!

This blows my mind:

One week ago she was an anonymous girl from Winnipeg singing a cover song on Youtube.

Today, she's on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Next month, she'll be singing on a concert stage with Lady Gaga!

And it all began with this Twitter hashtag: #getmariaonellen

Let's #getmariaonellen

Was intrigued by the hashtag  #getmariaonellen on Twitter yesterday and discovered ten year old Filipino-Canadian Maria Aragon.

Here she is with her cover of Lady Gaga's Born This Way:



(Incidentally, that video is now approaching 3 million views -- way, way up from just 700,000 hits yesterday afternoon.)

Could she be the next Charice?

It depends on whether more people see her -- calling Ellen DeGeneres!
