5 Females Who Should Audition To Be Khloe Kardashian's Replacement On 'The X Factor'

February 20, 2013 - 2:24 pm by Chris Yuscavage

Khloe Kardashian will reportedly not be back for Season 3 of The X Factor. According to a report that ran in the New York Post on Tuesday, the reality TV star was fired by the producers of X Factor recently because she routinely showed up unprepared to host the show and always appeared nervous on camera. They plan on bringing back Mario Lopez, but they've reportedly given Khloe her walking papers as they attempt to completely overhaul the show for the next season.

If the news about Khloe's departure from X Factor is true, it begs an answer to a very important question: Who should replace her? Whoever it is needs to have a built-in fan base that will tune in to see her every week, a great personality, and, most importantly, some sort of experience with making regular TV appearances. In an effort to help the producers of X Factor out, we tossed around some names, thought about who we would like to see on the show, and then came up with a list of 5 Females Who Should Audition To Be Khloe Kardashian's Replacement On The X Factor. Which of these girls do you think would be good for the show?

The Potential Host: Rocsi Diaz Why She Would Be Perfect: Rocsi has lots and lots of experience as both a radio DJ and a TV personality, thanks to the time she spent co-hosting 106 & Park with Terrence J between 2006 and 2012. She's also a weekend host on Entertainment Tonight, which would give her a leg up on just about any of the other lovely ladies on this list. And, in addition to all of that, she's interviewed countless musicians in the past, so she would know the right kinds of questions to ask to X Factor contestants. It seems like she'd be a natural fit for the show and would definitely attract a large audience.

The Potential Host: Christine Teigen Why She Would Be Perfect: She's getting married to John Legend soon, so clearly she has great taste in music! Just kidding. But, Teigen is a regular at music events like the Grammy Awards every year because of her relationship with the singer. And, she also happens to be very beautiful and seems to enjoy being on camera. So, it wouldn't hurt to bring her in and see what she could do on the X Factor stage. Ultimately, we just want to see her doing something other than gracing runways around the world, and this could be the perfect opportunity to see her try something new.

The Potential Host: Kelly Osbourne Why She Would Be Perfect: Ozzy's daughter was reportedly in the running to become the host of X Factor last year before the producers ultimately decided on Khloe Kardashian. And, it's pretty clear they made a mistake. Outside of the fact that Kelly is funny and sarcastic and has a huge personality, she's also not camera shy like Khloe appeared to be at times and we think she'd be able to make the interviews with X Factor contestants fun and interesting. Give her a second chance, guys. She deserves it.

The Potential Host: Kate Upton Why She Would Be Perfect: Ms. Upton is never going to get hotter than she is right now. Fresh off gracing her second Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover, her popularity has peaked. Or, has it? There are only so many viral videos she can release and only so many magazines that she can shoot pictorials for before everyone moves on to the next "it" girl. So, at some point, Kate has to branch off into another area. And, hosting X Factor would be the perfect place to do it. We certainly wouldn't mind tuning in if she was co-hosting the show…and we're sure we're not alone.

The Potential Host: Kim Kardashian Why She Would Be Perfect: This would obviously never happen, right? The X Factor producers just fired Kim's sister, so there's no way she'd accept Khloe's old job. Or, would she? We're pretty sure her pregnancy would get in the way of this ever happening. But, if X Factor wanted to make a huge splash—and Kim wanted to get involved in something that would give her some credibility within the music industry—then this would be the way to go. It'd solve the ratings problem that X Factor had almost immediately and give Kim some exposure on a major television network. It's the best of both worlds.
