(Rolling Stone) -- With Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler both leaving the judges' table on American Idol, the search is on for their replacements -- and now, add Charlie Sheen to the list of interested candidates. Calling into On Air with Ryan Seacrest Tuesday, Sheen chatted with the Idol host about the judge job, noting that producer Nigel Lythgoe had said something about offering Sheen the opportunity. "It kind of came out of nowhere and I responded with a quote, just to sort of check the temperature of it or test the waters. Haven't heard anything back," Sheen explained. "I guess it got some people curious."
