Before They Were Stars: The X Factor Judges and Hosts Before The Fame
The long-standing British hit The X Factor finally made its way to American shores in the fall of 2011, onto Fox, and since then hasn't looked back! A talented group of judges has helped narrow the contestant pool down to the final competitors over the years. Now, find out what these award-winning judges were doing before they were plucking stars from obscurity, and check out the pre-fame photos of The X Factor hosts who now command the stage each week. By Elizabeth PerkinsNow: A self-proclaimed single lady, Khloe shocked everyone when she met, fell for and quickly shacked up with now-husband Lamar Odom. Looks like she’s all grown up! The two lovebirds star in their own reality show Khloe and Lamar—a spin-off from her family’s original reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Her new co-hosting role on X Factor is her first “non-reality” show media job, and she has already garnered tons of praise—and (ahem), one memorable live wardrobe malfunction due to a VERY sheer shirt. One of her most memorable moments was putting her “boss” Simon Cowell in the hot seat, asking him what he would have done differently when he was critiquing the choices of another judge/mentor for their contestant. Simon says he hired her for her great personality and boy was he right—Khloe has already stolen the show!
