The Queen of Pop has emerged as the first choice to replace judge Simon Cowell on American Idol. After eight years, Cowell will depart television’s most watched talent show following tomorrow night’s grand finale, and FOX producers hope Madonna, 51, will join the series’ 10th season as a mentor.

A British Mirror tattle reports: “Simon is going to leave a gaping hole. Not only is he an expert, he’s also a big star in the US. Everyone agrees Madonna would be great and they want her as a full-time judge. But if that fails, they’d at least like her as a mentor.”

Earlier this month, music legend Elton John turned down a $30 million dollar/multi-year deal to join the A.I. judge’s panel.

Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze face off on Tuesday in a tighter-than expected battle for the 2010 American Idol title.
