"Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez haven&amp;apos;t even done their first show together as the new hosts of Fox&amp;apos;s reality competition show X Factor, but the drama is already brewing behind the scenes!\r\n&amp;quot;[Mario and I] really hate each other,&amp;quot; Kardashian, 28, joked to Ryan Seacrest when she called into his KIIS-FM radio show Friday morning. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m so sick to my stomach that I have to be by his side. You know, when [someone is] that unattractive, it&amp;apos;s just hard to be with [them].&amp;quot;\r\nBut seriously, folks. &amp;quot;[Mario] is the nicest guy ever,&amp;quot; she clarified. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s great at what he does, so it takes some of the pressure off of me...I think we&amp;apos;re going to have fun. We&amp;apos;ve known each other for a while, so I feel comfortable around him. He&amp;apos;ll make it easy for me.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nKardashian and Lopez, 39, weren&amp;apos;t publicly named as hosts until October 16, but Us Weekly reported the announcement on October 2, and even X Factor creator Simon Cowell called it the &amp;quot;worst-kept secret in Hollywood.&amp;quot; It seems the only person who didn&amp;apos;t know was Kardashian herself.\r\n&amp;quot;Everyone thought I was just BS-ing [them],&amp;quot; she told Seacrest, who emailed his congratulations to the star before she had even heard the news. &amp;quot;They were like, &amp;apos;So you got the job?&amp;apos; And I was like, &amp;apos;I promise you, no one has confirmed anything with me. I would tell everyone if I did.&amp;apos; I was just waiting for someone to tell me. But everyone knew before me!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNow that it&amp;apos;s official, she said, she&amp;apos;s thrilled about her new gig. But she does have a few pre-show jitters.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m so nervous -- I&amp;apos;ve never hosted before!&amp;quot; the star admitted, adding that her fears are amplified by the live aspect of the telecast. &amp;quot;What if I get kicked off the show because I say something so bad? That&amp;apos;s what I&amp;apos;m nervous about, but I can&amp;apos;t be anybody else but myself. I just have to control the language a little bit.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nKardashian also copped to being a little anxious about interacting with judge Cowell, 53, whom Seacrest knows from their eight years together on American Idol.\r\n&amp;quot;He enjoys it when you get very close to his face,&amp;quot; the radio host joked of his former colleague. &amp;quot;And he&amp;apos;ll get very distracted if you dress in something sexy, so I suggest you do...How do you think he and I got along for so many years?&amp;quot;\r\nAs for the rest of the X Factor crew -- which includes Cowell&amp;apos;s fellow judges Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, and L.A. Reid -- Kardashian said she&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;in good company.&amp;quot; Of Spears, in particular, she added: &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve met her a few times. I wouldn&amp;apos;t say we&amp;apos;re best friends, but she&amp;apos;s so sweet. She&amp;apos;s been nothing but nice to me. And I know her fiance [Jason Trawick]. He&amp;apos;s so nice. They&amp;apos;re just really sweet people.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
