At the urging of fans who contacted him on Twitter, Charlie Sheen flew to Alabama's tornado disaster zone yesterday to see the devastation for himself. Not only did he visit with residents and mayors in their time of recovery, he vowed to raise funds and keep the media's attention focused on their plight.

Sheen told reporters that he would return "in full force" with a fundraiser that may involve a charitable baseball game or celebrity fundraiser featuring musicians and comedians.
