Kris Jenner to guest co-host on `The Talk' (AP)

NEW YORK – Soon, the Kardashian sisters are going to have a hard time keeping up with their mom, Kris Jenner.

Jenner appears on the E! reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and manages the careers of her daughters Khloe, Kourtney and Kim. She is also set to serve as a guest co-host on CBS' daytime show "The Talk" this fall.

"I hope a little bit of my own personality and the way that I am with my family is the same thing I am going to bring to `The Talk' — as a mother and a wife and a businesswoman and a friend and all those things," Jenner said in an interview Wednesday night at a party for the Kardashian Kollection at Sears.

Jenner said it was natural for her three older daughters to launch a clothing line.

"I like to build things and to create something out of nothing and have it be successful. This is an example here tonight that Kim and I dreamed about," she said. "It is about setting goals."

Besides guiding her family's careers, Jenner has written a memoir, "Kris Jenner ... And All Things Kardashian," set for release in November.

"I wanted to do a business book, but I wanted to get my memoir out of the way. Tell my story. This is what my thing is. This is how I grew up. My first marriage (to the late attorney Robert Kardashian) into my second marriage (to former Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner), kids and my journey through all of that. I think you will be really surprised," she said. "I had two very distinct, separate lives."

Nicole Scherzinger to co-host "X Factor" (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger will co-host the upcoming TV singing show "The X Factor", Fox television said on Saturday, but there was no official word on whether former "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul had signed up as the final judge.

Scherzinger will host the contest along with British TV presenter Steve Jones, Fox said in a statement. But on the eve of the first scheduled auditions in front of judges on Sunday, the statement omitted any mention of Abdul.

Abdul, who quit "Idol" two years ago in a contract dispute, was reported earlier on Saturday to be in final talks to join her old "American Idol" sparring partner Simon Cowell, British singer Cheryl Cole and record producer Antonio "L.A." Reid on the "X Factor" judging panel.

"The X Factor", created by English music entrepreneur Cowell, is due to air on Fox in the fall of 2011, offering a $5 million prize and a recording contract for the winner.

The celebrity line-up gives "X Factor" a strong British flavor, and gambles on introducing new faces to prime time U.S. television.

Although the sarcastic Cowell became a household name in the United States in his 10 years on "American Idol", Cole -- a member of British pop band "Girls Out Loud" -- is virtually unknown in the United States despite being a big star at home, where she has been a judge on the U.K. version of "X Factor."

Jones, a former fashion model and now a British TV presenter, is also a newcomer for U.S. audiences.

Cowell has spent more than a year putting together the celebrity line-up for his "X Factor" venture, which he announced in January 2010. He has made no secret of his desire to work again with Abdul.

Since Cowell announced plans for "X Factor", "American Idol" -- still the most-watched TV show on U.S. television -- has been revamped and has grown its audience after years of slipping ratings, and several other rival TV singing shows have been launched.

They include "The Voice" on NBC, which boasts a star power panel of coaches/judges in Christina Aguilera, country singer Blake Shelton, Maroon 5 front-man Adam Levine, and R&B singer and producer Cee Lo Green.
