After the first season of "The X Factor" on Fox, show creator and judge Simon Cowell gave the show a total facelift. He ditched the host and two of the judges. The new season, which begins on Wednesday, will feature many new faces in the form of judges Demi Lovato and Britney Spears, as well as a variety of celebrity mentors. Cowell also got rid of host Steve Jones and now he wants a seasoned TV veteran to take the gig -- Khloe Kardashian. While nothing is finalized, Cowell told Ellen DeGeneres on Tuesday that "it could be a Kardashian. I think that would work," he said, adding that "we have to find people who have a great chemistry, but Khloe is definitely up there in running." Time will only tell if Simon gets his wish.
