Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stepped out in Cannes today, and even though she didn't get an invite to the Met Ball, it sounds like this has more than made up for it!
"It's my first time to Cannes and it's amazing!" Kardashian tells Us Weekly. "I love it here."

In case you were wondering why the reality TV star is there this year, she's supporting the launch of Cruel Summer, a short film/art installation produced by Kanye and his creative firm Donda. We're guessing he's happy to have a bootylicious babe by his side on the red carpet ... she's a serious upgrade from Amber Rose!

Kanye West is having an incredible year!

Not only is the singer rekindling his romance with Kim Kardashian, he has also earned the most nominations for the 2012 BET Awards this year. The rapper received seven nods, with six coming from his "Watch the Throne" collaboration with Jay-Z, who earned five noms.

New mom Beyonce came in just behind Kanye, and just before her hubby, with six nominations, including Best Female Artist, Video of the Year for "Countdown."

Angela Bassett Viola Davis and Zoe Saldana are up for Best Actress, while Don Cheadle, Common, and Denzel Washington earned Best Actor nods.

The BET Awards will air live from LA on July 1 at the Shrine Auditorium, with Samuel L. Jackson is set to host, and Chris Brown, who's up for Best Male Artist, and Nicki Minaj confirmed to perform at the show.

Kanye West is gearing up to debut his new short film titled Cruel Summer at the Cannes Film Festival this year!

The rapper is set to present the film on Wednesday at the French festival, and his press release revealed that the film will boast “a fusion of short film and art installation” and an “immersive seven-screen experience.” I

Cruel Summer will remain open to the public for two days following the premiere.

West has had plenty of directing practice; he was the mastermind behind many of the videos for his music, including 2010’s “Runaway.”

Is Kimye preparing for a move across the pond?!

Kim Kardashian jetted to London Wednesday to promote her new fragrance, and the multitasking diva was accompanied by her beau Kanye West when she stopped by Radio One Studios today to chat about the upcoming seasons of her reality show.

Asked about the rumors her family was thinking of filming a season in England, Kimmy K didn't exactly shoot down the gossip, revealing, "We would love that. We would love to open a DASH store in London. We were talking to Kourtney and Khloe and seeing who should take what city and London was one of the options so we're trying to figure it out."

Well, if the first family of E! take Europe, they might want to make sure there are still places to get the perfect spray tan!

The brunette beauty gave us a wave on her way out of the radio chat session, and we couldn't help but notice her hand is a whole different color than the rest of her body! We applaud Mr. West's lady love for shunning the sun and getting her bronze on the healthy way, but she might want to make sure she's got an even glow next time!

After flying to Toronto to be by Kim Kardashian's side last week, Kanye West is currently in Los Angeles with his lady love, and we snapped him arriving at her house over the weekend.

On Sunday, Kanye joined the rest of the Kardashian family for a Mother's Day brunch, and after that he accompanied Kim to her Vogue Italia shoot in Chinatown. Talk about a doting and patient boyfriend!

This is the first time the rapper has flown to see Kim in LA since the two confirmed their relationship back in April, so it's obviously a big step for him! Then again, he did just put lyrics in his latest single about how he's dying to put Kim in a wedding dress, so we're not exactly questioning his commitment...

Kim Kardashian made an appearance in Toronto today to promote her Belle Noelle jewelry line, and while we figured she would fly out to New York immediately afterwards to see boyfriend Kanye West, it looks like he beat her to it!

X17online can report exclusively that the rapper flew out to meet Kim in Canada, and he even accompanied her to her in-store appearance at The Bay this afternoon! A source at the event tells X17online exclusively that the duo snuck out the back of the department store when she was done with her promotional duties, and this would be the first time that Kanye has actually traveled somewhere to be with the reality TV starlet.

Kim is currently on her way back to Los Angeles, and we're not sure if Kanye is coming with her this time, but given how fast things are moving, we expect him out here very soon! Hey, rapping about marriage is one thing, but actually putting the effort into a relationship is a whole different level of dedication. Maybe these two really are destined to walk down the aisle sometime this year!

Kanye West is laying his feelings for girlfriend Kim Kardashian all out on the table ... and he's putting them in his lyrics, too!

The 34-year-old rapper is talking about putting his new ladylove in "a white dress."

In his single Mercy, Kanye raps:

"I saw you in the club in a white dress/Now I want to put you in a white dress."

Could Kim actually be prepping to walk down the aisle again ... for reals?

This isn't the first time Kanye's rapped about Kim in his songs. In his single "Way Too Cold," West talks about being in love with the curvy 31-year-old reality star.

Talk about an open book!

Kim Kardashian is one lucky girl who definitely has the need for speed!

In one day, the bootylicious babe was able to drive her beau Kanye West's $500,000 silver Mercedes McLaren AND her $300,000 white Ferrari! Both rides were sitting pretty in the reality star's Beverly Hills driveway.

Just yesterday, Kim took Kanye's pricey ride to Barry's Boot Camp for an afternoon workout. Let's hope she didn't get those expensive leather seats too sweaty.
