Anna Wintour

Kim Kardashian leaving Nobu in West Hollywood (5/4)

Noticeably absent from Monday night's Met Gala in New York was Kim Kardashian. Of course "noticeably absent" is usually what happens when you get your sizable ass banned from an event. Presenting the best story of 2012, via Radar:

Kim's new boyfriend, superstar Kanye West, was at Anna Wintour's fabled Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, but Kim was not by his side, and that's down to an edict straight from the famed Vogue editor for years, a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

"Anna hates Kim," a source says. "Why would she be invited to the event? It is all the biggest stars in the world and Kim doesn't fit that bill at all. The Met Gala is $25,000 a ticket, but Kim can't even buy her way in, Anna Wintour does NOT want her there! Kim and her camp will deny that she wasn't invited by saying that she had business in L.A., but that is a lie. She would of done anything to be there with all the A-listers."

I know that technically we've never met, and I know that I'm 31 years younger than you, but Anna Wintour, will you marry me?
