Charlie Sheen is not—we repeat, not—going to be a judge on American Idol.

But a man can dream, right?

Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe recently joked that Fox should consider the sometimes-controversial Anger Management star to replace departing judges like Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

The "news" got Sheen's attention. "It seemed so out of the blue that it almost made perfect sense," Sheen told Ryan Seacrest today on his morning radio show. "I thought, 'This could be really fun. This could be a lot of fun.'"

Sheen even had a proposal in mind. He'd want a charitable component as part of his participation.
