TMZ is reporting that Khloe Kardashian is the front runner for the female half of the X Factor hosting duo. DO NOT WANT UGH.
Khloe Kardashian may be doing her part to jump start the economy … because TMZ has learned she’s the front-runner to become the “X Factor” host and we’re told the suits want it to happen.
Sources intimately connected to the show tell TMZ … Khloe is definitely #1 among the women who tried out and is generally considered the best in the entire pack of host wannabes.
Khloe did a screen test that went over well. The suits — including Simon Cowell (who has probably never worn a suit) — believe Khloe makes the most sense in terms of audience draw, since they’ve already invested heavily in Britney Spears and Demi Lovato to attract young viewers.
Producers will make a decision soon. The host won’t appear until the live shows air, and that begins next month.
As for the odds … as one well-connected source tells us, “There’s at least an 85% chance she’ll get the job.”
When are the Kardashians GOING AWAY? What happened to Kelly Osbourne? I thought she was getting the job, along with Glee star, Kevin McHale.
