Sheen a goddess down

Charlie Sheen has lost one of his live-in girlfriends as blonde Rachel Oberlin departed the troubled star's LA home earlier today.

The 24-year-old former porn actress - who made 170 adult moves under the name Bree Olsen - had been sharing Sheen's affections with nanny/model Natalie Kenly, also 24. And also blonde.

However it now seems the trio have been reduced to a duo as Sheen earlier today tweeted: "Rachel has left the building..., We're sad.... Over it... Applications now being accepted!"

The firebrand actor has blazed a trail across the US and international media this past week, amid allegations of substance abuse, a bitter custody battle with ex-wife Brooke Mueller and the implosion of his TV show 'Two and a Half Men", America's most-watched sitcom.

However Sheen's combative stance and unique turn of phrase ("I have tiger blood running through my veins") have also earned him legions of supporters, especially online.

The actor has become a Twitter sensation since joining the microblogging site earlier this week, notching up more than 1m followers in just over 24 hours, a feat that propelled him into the Guinness Book of Records.

It was not immediately clear whether Oberlin's departure was a permanent or temporary arrangement.
