Khloe Kardashian has no problem sharing every last detail of her personal life on her family's reality television shows. But when it comes to live TV, the reality star just doesn't make the cut.

"Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to host The X-Factor," a spokesperson for the hit Fox show says. "We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors." Well, considering there have been rumors that Khloe wouldn't be coming back since the Season Two finale, this statement isn't exactly mind blowing. In fact, like judge Britney Spears, it looks like Khloe decided to quit before she actually got the inevitable boot.

After more than 16 years on the air, Joy Behar will no longer be offering her view.

The View co-host has announced that she will step down at the end of the current season in August. ABC released a statement wishing Joy “all the best in this next chapter, and [we] are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season.”
