Kim Kardashian may be able to boast a hefty bank balance and a celebrity 
boyfriend, but the reality TV star has found herself a pariah among the 
Hollywood A-list, after Kanye's attempts to ingratiate his girlfriend 
into his all-star gang of pals failed embarrassingly.And perhaps growing
 increasingly aware of his relationship's effect on his fame, despite 
Kim being banned from attending the recent Met Gala Ball by Vogue's Anna
 Wintour, Kanye went ahead and attended without her."She was so upset 
that he went to the Met event without her," spilled a source. "Kim felt 
that he didn't ask for a ticket for her strongly enough and just 
accepted it when he was told there was no room."
Having
 seen her former pal Paris Hilton's star fade so abruptly, pals say Kim 
is aware that her fame has a shelf life no matter how much personal 
information she divulges on her reality TV show, and is keen to 
consolidate her place among the A-list."It's why she reacted so coldly 
when Kris Humphries told her that in a few years ‘no one will care about
 you'," spilled a pal. "She saw what has happened to Paris and it scares
 her that pretty soon the focus will be on the next big thing in reality
 TV. She knows that she has to make a bigger fame grab sooner rather 
than later."
And
 top of her list of ways to claw her way onto the A-list has been to 
ensure she gets close to Kanye's close friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."She'll
 do whatever she can to hang out with those guys," spilled one mole. 
"She does really like Kanye," spilled one. "But she also likes what 
Kanye comes with - a bona fide introduction to the likes of Beyonce, 
Jay-Z and Gwyneth Paltrow."However, despite new baby girl, Blue Ivy, 
taking up all her time, sources say the Crazy In Love star has made it 
clear she can't be associated with someone who came to prominence via a 
leaked intimate home movie."Beyonce hangs out with Chris Martin and 
Gwyneth - it's a totally different scene to the Hollywood club circuit,"
 said an insider. "Beyonce prizes her privacy - it's why her marriage to
 Jay-Z was kept completely under wraps. Whereas Kim's short-lived 
marriage to Kris was a complete media circus. B thought it was tacky. 
She's not a fan of reality TV either."
