Beyonce dines with Kim Kardashian

Beyonce Knowles and Kim Kardashian enjoyed a dinner arranged by Kanye West on Friday (22.06.12).

The 30-year-old singer and the reality star decided to meet up while Jay-Z - who is married to Beyonce - and Kanye, who is currently dating Kim, are on the European leg of their Watch The Throne tour, and the pair managed to get on well despite their different backgrounds.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "The girls have never really seen eye-to-eye. It's a shame because Jay-Z and Kanye are so close. Beyonce has always viewed Kim as a reality TV star who's not earned her fortune with a specific talent.

"Kanye arranged a dinner in the hotel suite for the girls to clear the air. He's hoping that now they're pals it will lead to further get-togethers away from the tour. Beyonce has now welcomed Kim into the clan."

Kim - who famously split from sports star Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage last year - recently gushed about her new boyfriend Kanye saying he knows "everything" about her.

She claimed: "It's very comforting to have someone that knows everything about you, that respects you, understands, has gone through the similar things.

"I can really relate to his mother passing. He can really relate to my father passing. I mean, there's so many similarities in our life that ... I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space."
