Well, the worst-kept secret in entertainment has finally been confirmed: Khloe Kardashian (Odom) and Mario (Dimples) Lopez have officially been named hosts of Fox’s “The X Factor.” They will join judges Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid, Simon Cowell and some chick named Britney Spears.

Some are already asking: What qualifies these 2 non-singers to host a singing competition show? But while these two photogenic hosts may not be known for their stellar singing voices, the choice to cast them feels natural.

Lopez, who has successfully parlayed his “Saved By the Bell” teen heartthrob image into a new career as a reality star and host, has charm and charisma to spare. And his nice guy persona will bounce nicely off Khloe Kardashian’s spicy, spunky attitude. Lopez has the experience and professionalism to tackle such a high-profile gig, and he can help guide hosting newbie Khloe as she learns her way around this arena.

It’s a brilliant career move for Kardashian, a reality star best known as the wife of former L.A. Laker Lamar Odom and, of course, sister to Kim. Khloe is no stranger to show business, having been a part of the Kardashian dynasty and participated in their E! reality shows and spin-offs for years. It’s about time someone gave Khloe a venue to showcase her talents, out of the shadow of her sisters and famous family name.

One might argue that, out of the all of those famous Kardashian offspring, Khloe’s the one with the real spark. She’s frank, honest and can be bitingly witty. She’s also been very forthright about her various struggles, whether it is with her weight or infertility, on her shows, and such public accessibility only makes her more relatable and likeable to fans.

There’s no doubt that, by stepping out of the shadow of the Kardashian name, Khloe is trying to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood and prove she’s not just another celebrity fad. Meanwhile, the power and influence of the Kardashian clan shows no signs of slowing down.

Ultimately, the premise of “The X-Factor” is to find those unknown talents in the country who have what the producers describe as “it” (or “the X-factor”) It’s that indescribable something that famous people have that makes the public want to watch and support them. Some people have it, and some people don’t.

So, who really has the X-factor? It might just be these two new hosts. And since this is a show searching for it, they may actually be perfectly qualified after all.
