La Toya JacksonLa Toya Jackson is next in line to fill Simon Cowell's shoes on "American Idol
" -- that's if La Toya Jackson has anything to do with it.

We're told MJ's sister and former "Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe cozied up at a housewarming party for Kathy Hilton in Bel Air recently -- before Simon broke his big news -- and the topic came up of La Toya possibly guest-judging on the show.

But now that Simon's out of the picture, La Toya wants more.

We spoke to her and she tells TMZ: "I would LOVE to be a judge on 'American Idol.' I would love to have a chance for the public get to know the real me. I would be thrilled."

In other news: there's a "real" La Toya Jackson.

Lol. Wow. Okay, so here's our post from TMZ for the 18th. I'll be checking the site frequently throughout the day to see if there's anything new.

Keep the faith, my love. <3

:roll:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Thank you for my morning giggle!!!  If anything she will be sitting in Paula's seat & Ellen will move over to Simon's seat...thank goodness I no longer watch this show, I had thought about watching Ellen on it (love her!).  With this news I think I'll pass on another season...no offense I think Toya is sweet and charming, but I feel as if she is always performing for 'Mary Poppins'!
