It has been confirmed that Khloe Kardashian will not return as a host for The X Factor USA next season.

Rumors that Kardashian had been fired from the reality talent competition spread earlier this year, but the reality star remained tight-lipped.

Khloe Kardashian Fired From ‘X Factor’?

Today, the show’s creator Simon Cowell released a statement about how “thrilled” he is that Mario Lopez will be returning as a host for the third season.

Network executives made comment on Kardashian’s noticeable absence from Cowell’s statement, saying,”Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to co-host The X Factor. We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

It is unclear who will replace Kardashian as a co-host.

Automobile maker Ford is in trouble after an ad agency they use in India designed an advertisement for the company using a caricature of bound and gagged Kardashian sisters in the back of a Ford Figo.

Although funny, the advertisement has drawn an intense backlash from almost everyone.

In fairness to Ford, they knew nothing of the ad and it was not approved by the company. The rogue ads were designed by ad agency JWT in India.

Another of the ads, see below, featured Paris Hilton driving, while winking over her shoulder at the bound and gagged Kardashians (Kim, Kourtney, Khloe) in the luggage space.

Poor taste or just funny?

Khloe Kardashian has reportedly been fired from her hosting duties at The X Factor.

The reality star co-hosted the show with Mario Lopez as her first live hosting gig.

The New York Post is claiming that Lopez will return to the show without Kardashian. “They are asking Mario [Lopez] to come back, but not Khloe,” a source told the Post.

Sources say Kardashian’s on-air “jitters” are what is keeping the host’s fate unknown. However, Kardashian has admitted that hosting live television has been a struggle for her. ”Just learning how there’s a screaming audience and you don’t yell because the mic is right there,” she said in an interview last month. “I will have an earpiece in my ear, and while I’m trying to read the teleprompter then I have someone counting down … and they’re like, ‘Okay, ask Simon this or that’ … There were so just so many pieces I never knew were involved in live TV.”

In an update from TMZ, a source with the show said the show’s creator Simon Cowell “believes Khloe is definitely strong in certain areas … and not strong in others,” and that no decisions have been made about the upcoming season.

Khloe Kardashian has spilled the beans on how to get the perfect Kardashian family Christmas card. Try not to be surprised because it involves a lot of….PHOTOSHOP!

“We pretend that we’re always together,” Kardashian said during the interview that airs on Wednesday. “The powers of cameras and Photoshop.”

This year, her husband, basketball player Lamar Odom, will be edited into the photo, along with her little sister Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian‘s boyfriend Scott Disick.

Famous momager Kris Jenner had one heck of a wardrobe malfunction that she accidentally shared with the world via Instagram.

The 56-year-old mother of the Kardashian clan posted a photo of herself in her Wonder Woman Halloween get-up, which she obviously didn’t realize exposed part of her nipples.

“She and Khloe [Kardashian Odom] especially hit it off. Khloe had her dying laughing,” a source told reporters. ”It meant so much because she loves Oprah!”

Winfrey was also impressed by Kim Kardashian‘s willingness to open up about her split from Kris Humphries. ”I’ve obviously made plenty of mistakes in my lifetime, but I’m not the type to sit and beat myself up over it,” Kim said. “If a real lesson was learned, I’m so okay with having experienced that.”

“That is so perfect I could weep,” replied Winfrey.

So will Oprah and Kanye make an appearance TOGETHER?!? Sigh…one can only hope.

Kanye West, who has been dating Kim Kardashian for the past few months, appears briefly in a new promo commercial for the Kardashian family’s E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Beyonce Disapproves of Kanye West Dating Kim Kardashian?

It’s been rumored that Kim’s latest beau would appear on the show, but considering the divorce from her estranged husband Kris Humphries has yet to be finalized, I was doubtful that the rapper would be seen.

The promo also features footage about Kourtney Kardashian‘s pregnancy, Kim’s “flour bombing” incident and Khloe Kardashian‘s husband Lamar Odom‘s next career move.
