Call her what you will -- child bride, fame hungry, the next Heidi Montag -- but Courtney Stodden knows how to commandeer her strangely growing audience. Under the Twitter handle @CourtneyStodden , the 17-year-old alternates between Bible quotes and writing lurid notes about her "pink-sugary, cotton-candy bod" with such mind-blowing speed that it has my co-worker calling the output performance art. I'm more inclined to compare it to a train wreck -- deeply disturbing but fascinating; creepy yet I want... more. Stodden's some 38,000 Twitter followers might agree.

Below is a sampling of recent Tweets from Stodden, who was just 16 when she wed "Lost" actor Doug Hutchison , 34 years her senior.
