Are the rumors true that Charlie Sheen will be the Next Idol Judge?

Charlie Sheen has officially expressed interest in being a judge on the next season of American Idol. The mega star called into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on Tuesday to respond to reports that American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe had shown interest in using Sheen as a replacement for departing judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. “It kind of came out of nowhere and … it seems so out of the blue that it almost made perfect sense,” Sheen told Seacrest. “I thought this could be a lot of fun. Seriously … I’m genuinely interested. It’s so different, it could be radical.” Sheen also addressed his recent departure from Twitter on the show stating that “There was something about it that never felt right,” Sheen told Seacrest. “It’s hard to tell 8 million people, ‘Hey, don’t take it personally.’ It just never felt like it represented who I am and who my fans have come to know me to be. I’ve always been a really private guy. … I just lost a passion for it, I guess that’s what it was.”
