MICHAEL Jackson‘s sister La Toya wants to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol.

The singer-songwriter, 53, says she’d love to fill Cowell’s boots as a judge on the smash hit TV talent show.

“I would love to be a judge on American Idol,” she said. “I would love to have a chance for the public to get to know the real me. I would be thrilled.”

Cowell, 50, recently announced he’d be quitting the show at the end of its current season so he can bring The X Factor to America.

Recent reports claimed La Toya fears someone wants to kill her.
