Showbiz celebrities are a mean, mean lot. Pop singer Beyonce and her boyfriend Jay-Z mingle with the la-di-da crowd of Hollywood. Among a very select group of their friends is singer Kanye West.

When news of Kanye W getting hooked with reality TV star Kim Kardashian broke, it perturbed Beyonce and her beau. The singer made no bones in making it clear to Kanye W that she thought Kim K was tacky; therefore she could not join their circle of friends. It’s either Kim K or us, she conveyed to him in a roundabout way. This has put Kanye W in a bit of a quandary. Perhaps he will now look up in the dictionary what the word ‘tacky’ means.
