…And the rumor mill churns on. Entertaiment Weekly wants to float a few rumors of their own. This post concerns X Factor hosts. Although the audition phase of the show is nearly through, Simon Cowell has yet to announce the show’s new hosts.
“I want to work with a boy and girl and I definitely think this is a role for two people,” Cowell recently told reporters. “[We] have narrowed it down to 5 people.”
Some names we’re hearing are under consideration: BET personality Rocsi Diaz, actor and America’s Best Dance Crew host Mario Lopez and actress/model Stacy Keibler. Add to that some names E! Online is hearing: Khloé Kardashian, Kelly Osbourne, BET’s 106 & Park host Terrence J, sportscaster Erin Andrews and radio personality Mike Catherwood.
Sources emphasize that prospective hosts are still being interviewed and actual testing for the gig is not expected for several more weeks. “They want to make sure the duo has chemistry,” one insider said.
So what do you think of that? NO KARDASHIANS PLEASE I BEG OF YOU. Other than that? I only care that the team Simon hires can keep the show moving without looking like a deer in the headlights. Some personality please, and an ability to connect to the contestants. Mario Lopez is the only one on that list who might be able to do that…
