The term "#foramilliondollars" is the hottest trending topic on Twitter on the morning of October 15 at 8:30 AM GMT.

What would you do for a million dollars? Twitter users are discussing the things they would and wouldn't do for one million dollars on the morning of October 15.

"#foramilliondollars i'd do ALMOST anything... as long as its tax free =]]" writes one user. "#foramilliondollars I will watch the octomoms kids for a day in a half", comments another.

The term #wooyoungscheeks has risen into the list of Twitter's most talked about topics at 8:30 AM GMT.

Jang Wooyoung is a member of South Korean boy band, 2PM. Fans are posting comments about the 20 year old singer with "beautiful cheeks" ranging from, "#WooyoungsCheeks are soo cute!! But careful ---- inside, there's poison!" to "#wooyoungscheeks are the talk of the town, and by town, i mean twitter."

The trend was started by 2PM fans in a bid to cheer themselves up after the recent departure of fellow band member and vocalist Park Jaebeom. Jaebeom left the band on September 8.

A large majority of Twitter users also seem to be abusing the term, using it to post spam tweets that contain nothing but "Wooyoungscheeks" repeated over and over again.
