Putting on a brave face: Khloe Kardashian manages a slight smile as she steps out for the first time since 'being fired from X Factor USA'

Earlier this week it was reported that she had been fired as host on X Factor USA after failing to win over audiences.
But if Khloe Kardashian was feeling any sadness or animosity over the decision, she did a good job of concealing it on Thursday.
The 28-year-old put on a brave face as she went to breakfast with her mother Kris Jenner and family friend Brittny Gastineau at Hotel Bel-Air.

Managing a slight smile, Khloe appeared in good spirits as the trio waited for their car at valet following the meal.
Kris, who makes 10% of all her daughters's earnings as their manager, also appeared upbeat, smiling away.
While Khloe's sister Kim recently revealed that monochrome dressing was currently her favourite trend, her sibling appears to be following in her footsteps when it comes to her own style.

The brunette star was seen wearing monochromatic black trousers featuring white stripes down the sides as she dined with the two ladies.
The statuesque reality star paired the attire with a chic black shirt, a Hermes buckled belt and a black netted Christian Louboutin stilettos.
Meanwhile, Kris was also dressed in head-to-toe-black, ladylike in one of her fail-safe long-sleeve figure-hugging dresses paired with Yves Saint Laurent heels and chunky chain-style necklace.

Spliced: The pregnant 32-year-old slipped into a black and white spliced ensemble which showed off plenty of her curves at the back, but hid any sign of her growing baby bump at the front

The mother and daughter duo were joined by family friend Brittny, who kept up with the Kardashians in her own black blazer, white pencil skirt and black heels and tights.

Fired? Khloe's outing on Thursday comes after sources claim she has been fired as a host on the X Factor USA following a disappointing reception

The reality mogul paired the ensemble with more monochrome in the form of white stilettos and a simple black leather clutch.
Khloe's outing on Thursday comes after sources claim she has been fired as a host on the X Factor USA following a disappointing reception.
'They are asking Mario [Lopez] to come back, but not Khloe,' an insider confirmed to the New York Post.
A spokesperson for the X Factor refused to confirm the report, instead stating simply: 'The producers have not yet made the talent decisions for this year.'

Ooops! Khloe caused a sensation on Twitter on her first show when her sheer blouse exposed her nipple

Despite her wide popularity as a star on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe came to the X Factor with no hosting experience.
Her lack of training showed as she occasionally appeared nervous and unsure of how to act in front of the cameras.
The live show format was challenging for an inexperienced host, meaning links could not be re-recorded and Khloe's comments were out unedited.

Making an effort: Despite her huge popularity, Khloe's inexperience showed on the live shows

Khloe admitted it wasn't easy.
'Just learning how there's a screaming audience and you don't yell because the mic is right there,' she explained. 'I will have an earpiece in my ear, and while I'm trying to read the teleprompter then I have someone counting down and they're like, "Okay, ask Simon this or that"
'There were so just so many pieces I never knew were involved in live TV.
'I do feel like through every show I got better and better, but my first week I literally was like, "I am going to die. I want to fake a heart attack."'
The decision by X Factor bosses to not renew Khloe's contract will be a blow to the Kardashian family, who had turned out in force to support her.
The extended family, including sisters Kim and Kourtney, had been regulars in the audience, with Kim's superstar boyfriend Kanye West even making an appearance.
Despite her warm personality, Khloe was criticised for being overly loud, and her well-meaning but occasionally ill judged comments left viewers cringing.
Khloe previously revealed she was asked not to take any hosting lessons before she started, leaving her unprepared for what to expect.
She added: 'I've never done live TV before, and I was asked to not do any hosting lessons because they wanted me to be just myself. I found the day before because the stage was just built, that I couldn't read the teleprompter without glasses, so I had to get contacts the day before.
But Khloe's lack of experience could not be overcome, with even her fashion choices raising eyebrows.
On her very first show Khloe caused a Twitter storm in a sheer blouse that exposed her nipples under the harsh studio lighting.
Even Simon Cowell remarked on the error, tweeting: 'I think the air conditioning is on high tonight looking at khloe.'
On another occasion Khloe perched herself on Cowell's lap and asked if he felt 'excited', missing the mark on the family show.
Khloe's vastly more experienced co-host Mario Lopez was also forced to defend Khloe against her critics, telling reporters 'she's sweet'.
There was no reaction to the bad news on Khloe's blog or Twitter feed. But despite the high-profile nature of the role Khloe is sure to not be too upset.
She remains part of the most popular reality show on TV with her role on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
