Kim Kardashian probably thought she was getting a famewhore 2-for-1 special when she started dating Kanye West. Not only would she be publicly bedding an A-list rapper, but she thought she'd get the opportunity to become BFFs with Beyonce. Until, of course, Beyonce caught wind of that plan.

Their dudes might be besties, but sources say Beyonce has made it perfectly clear that she has no intention of buddying up with Kim. “Kim wants to travel everywhere with Kanye, but she’s also trying to do whatever she can to get close to Beyoncé,” says a source who spoke with the New York Daily News. For Kim, it's not just a matter of trying to become friends with her boyfriend's friends. The world seeing her hang out with Beyonce would do wonders for her image.

Kim and Beyonce will both be in London for a five-night stop on the Watch the Throne tour, during which time, Kim will reportedly do whatever it takes to endear herself to Bey. Naturally, Kim's reps claim it's just a coincidence that the two ladies will be in the same city for an extended period of time, but we're more inclined to believe the anonymous source who claims Kim “lives and breathes to hang out with Beyoncé.”

Jay-Z stated the obvious during a new interview that aired last night. Jay-Z spoke about his daughter on "Oprah's Master Class: Special Edition." Beyonce gave birth in early January before quickly slimming down.

"At the end of the day, I just know I'll probably have the worst-spoiled little kid ever," he confessed.

Jay-Z also said that he knows that parenting will be tough when Blue gets older.

"Everyone imagines they'll be a great dad until their [kids are] teenagers. [Then they say], 'Get away from me, dad. You're embarrassing me.'"

Beyonce has played a big role in her nephew Julez's life and he's far from spoiled. He has great manners. I don't think Blue will become the next Suri Cruise. She's just going to be fierce and she's going to know it, but I predict that she'll be down to earth and as "normal" as the best well-rounded celebrity kids are.

Whether you think she faked her pregnancy or made the world's most speedy recovery, there's no denying that Beyonce spent most of the past year looking damn good. So good, in fact that People magazine has named the new mom their Most Beautiful Woman for 2012.

“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth,” Bey said of the honor. “I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.” People's decision probably had a bit to do with the classy fashion in which Beyonce handled her very public pregnancy, but there's no question that she's been stylish in the spotlight for her entire adult life.

Asked by the magazine which parent baby Blue resembles most, Bey cleverly dodged the question, saying only, “She looks like Blue. She's her own person." You know she was dying to say, "God, I hope she ends up looking like me!"

Check out some Of Bey's most memorable looks from the past year below. Blue Ivy is totally the hot fashion accessory for 2012.

This might just look like a photo of Beyonce carrying a massive fur change purse around the streets of NYC, but there's something important under that suffocating mass of grey: the most ballin' baby on the planet - Blue Ivy Carter.

We're not sure why Bey seems so intent on hiding baby Blue from the rest of the world. Maybe that first photo was just a tease and we won't get to see her again until her first album cover (probably only a few weeks away). Or, maybe the kid is looking more like Jay-Z than Bey would've liked. Either way, hopefully she had the sense to swaddle the kid up in faux fur. The last thing we need is a Blue Ivy flour bomb from some psycho PETA activist.

Here we go again. Beyonce was photographed wearing another form-fitting dress last night, once again leading mothers everywhere who carried a child to term, then had to raise the thing and try to get back in shape without the aid of an army of nannies and personal trainers to shout, "There's no way this b!tch just had a baby!"

I admit, it's hard to believe, but if she was really pulling off this crazy fake pregnancy con she's been accused of, you think she'd go out in public looking like this a couple months later? Beyonce is smart. If she was really worried about convincing us she'd been pregnant, she'd bury the surrogate in Central Park at night, find a 24-hour hot dog cart, then walk home when the sun came up, wearing sweats and looking bloated and exhausted.

Instead, there she is - impossibly flat stomach and all. This woman recently had a baby; she just happens to be superhuman. Let it go.

When you're Bey and BIC, everything you do is news. Beyonce and 2 month-old Blue Ivy Carter took advantage of some early spring-like weather to go for a stroll in Manhattan yesterday. Naturally, paparazzi and bodyguards were on hand for the occasion.

As with all shots of post-pregnancy Beyonce, these photos will be scrutinized by conspiracy theorists looking to use Bey's unusually trim figure as proof that she hired a surrogate and pulled off a riskier PR scheme than faking the moon landing. Fortunately, she's carrying Baby Blue in front this time, so no lunatic haters will point at her flat stomach screaming, "See? She lied to you!"

As for Blue herself, we didn't get to see much of her this time around, but it's good that she's leaving us wanting more. You don't wanna become overexposed before you can walk.

Over the weekend, we brought you pictures of Beyonce, Jay-Z and little Blue Ivy Carter (she'll drop the last name at the same time as her first single) enjoying their first public outing as together. Well, according to Us Weekly, patrons of the Sant Ambroeus restaurant in NYC enjoyed a much more intimate view of the family.

The magazine claims several witnesses reported that Beyonce "nursed her little girl at her the table" in full view of other diners. So now we know where Bey stands on the public breastfeeding issue, though, of course, many will claim that these reports are just planted evidence that the kid was actually birthed by Beyonce.

Well, if the reports are true, it's good that Bey is not at all shy about feeding her baby in public. Rumor has it she plans to return to work very soon, joining her husband on the European leg of his Watch the Throne tour, and possibly starring in a musical film from Glee creator Ryan Murphy. Get ready for the spotlight, Baby Blue!

Blue Ivy Carter went out for her first NYC lunch date recently and, of course, photographers were on hand to capture the momentous occasion. Not even two months old and she's already ballin' so hard paparazzi wanna find her.

Beyonce and Jay-Z struggled to keep the event low-key, but they likely expected the unwanted attention. Note the look on Jigga's face that says in no uncertain terms, "The first one of y'all to get too close will have to be identified by his dental records." That's one protective dad. I feel sorry for Baby Blue's first boyfriend.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have taken time off from two of the most successful music careers in history in order to give their full attention to raising the world's most famous baby. But last night, the draw of Linsanity proved too much for the power couple and they left little Blue Ivy with her team of nannies so that they could watch the New York Knicks take on Jay's New Jersey Nets at Madison Square Garden.

The Nets must have been emboldened by the presence of their part-owner, as they pulled off an upset victory, but the real news, of course, had to do with Beyonce's figure. Does this look like a woman who gave birth 6 weeks ago? Well, most new moms don't have access to a team of personal trainers and dieticians, so she may have just worked off her baby bump in record time. Or, she may have pulled off some hush-hush surrogate operation...those rumors will never go away.

Anyway, there's no denying Bey looked good and suitably new-mom tired. If only she and Jay could make it to more games, maybe Kris Humphries' ailing Nets could pull out a few more victories.

Photos of baby Jesus are upon us. Refusing to sell photos to the magazines, Jay-Z posted a picture of Blue Ivy Carter on his Tumblr account.

Beyonce is just glowing, smiling from ear to ear. Jay-Z posted his family photos on his website with the following message: "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter family."

Jay-Z is loving fatherhood. He already put his daughter on the tribute song he wrote about her titled "Glory," and just weeks later we finally get to meet her!

I like it when babies aren't bald. Blue Ivy has such dark hair! I think she's a mix of Beyonce and Jay-Z! She's precious.
