Beyonce and Kim Kardashian Are Not the Best of Friends

Beyonce is making it very clear that she does not want to be associated with the Kardashians in any way. Named by People Magazine as "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" 2012, Beyonce Knowles and husband Jay-Z reportedly banned Kim Kardashian from being invited to their inner circle. The couple is known to be good friends with Kanye West, who is reportedly dating Kim Kardashian. They have been photographed together on numerous nights out in New York City.

"Beyoncé doesn't want the kind of celebrity that Kim Kardashian has nailed down as her own thing. Beyoncé doesn't want to bring that reality show infamy and drama into a personal life that Beyoncé has tried to keep close to her," a source told Hollywood Life.

"The Beyoncé the world knows and the Beyoncé [and] Jay-Z that her close friends know are completely different and she wants to keep it that way," the source added.

Another source said Kim Kardashian is desperate to be photographed with Beyonce to help revive her image. "While they were out in New York, she made Kanye get Beyonce on the phone to try to set up something where Kim and Beyonce would be photographed together. She thinks if she's seen with someone like that everyone will like her again. That's her plan," a source said.
