ay and Bey a no show
TMZ reports that Beyonce and Jay Z were absent from the meal at Versailles last night.
Sources told the US site that Jay and Bey failed to show, but were still intending to make the wedding in Florence.
Apparently David Blaine was brought in to do magic for the kouple.
Well, only the best, eh?
So after months and months of trying to persuade her to perform for his beloved wife, it seems Kanye West's gentlemanly charm persistence has paid off.
Lana Del Ray arrived at Versailles last night in a dazzling gold dress, where she sang Kim's favourite song, Young and Beautiful, for the guests.
She even stopped to pose for a snap with the klan.
9:14 am
Kris Jenner has shared a snap of the wedding venue - which looks a whole lot like Versailles.
*Cue excited squeals*
Or maybe she's trying to bluff us. We're not 100% sure.

Here's how the weather's shaping up in Paris and Florence.

Kim was last seen on her way to Versailles last night.
The reality kueen wore white (obvs) and flashed a whole lorra leg AND boob as she dined out with her nearest and dearest.
Hubby-to-be Kanye opted for a very similar outfit, only his was tan.

American reality TV star Kim Kardashian leaves her residence in Paris on May 23, 2014, ahead of her wedding
8:13 am
Kim Kardashian’s aunt, Karen Houghton, has revealed that the reality star is set to rip off Wills ‘n’ Kate’s royal wedding with her multi European city bash – with Kim even attempting to out-dress the Duchess of Cambridge.
Say WHAT?
Karen said: “Kim loved the British royal wedding and is a huge fan of Kate Middleton. She was just so caught up in that day and very impressed by it, and how it played out on TV around the world.”
What? The queen of reality obsessed with TV coverage?
Karen added that we could even see Kimmy, 33 , sporting a crown. “She really loves Kate and the princess has been a huge inspiration as far as her wedding plans are concerned.
“Kim saw how visually stunning the royal wedding looked and wants to replicate that. Kim and Kanye want something just as traditional and classy.”
Here are some of our predictions for today's shindig...

The rapper reportedly chose Florence because their daughter North was conceived there.
Kanye had reportedly been refused his initial wishes to marry in Paris, but the pair had instead planned a tour for all their guests.
They hoped to visit sights such as the Hall of Mirrors, the King's Grand Apartments and the formal gardens with fountains and water attractions.
An official statement from the couple and officials at the palace said: "Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have decided to let their guests discover the Château of Versailles during a private surprise tour on Friday, May 23, the eve of their wedding."
Just when we thought Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding location mystery had been solved, and the Italian Fort set for the big bash - preparations have begun in Paris too.
In the stunning Palace of Versailles no less.
What's going on? Two weddings in one day in two separate countries would just be a little too far - but then, we wouldn't put anything past Kanye and his missus.
Lorries have been pictured unloading all sorts of things in the Palace grounds today, and a sign has even gone up informing tourists it has been closed for a "special event".
All sounds a bit suspicious.
Meanwhile, preparations for something have been going on all week at the Forte Belvedere in Florence, Italy, which was confirmed as the main ceremony location recently.
A source told Entertainment Tonight: "Kardashian and West’s guests will first attend a pre-wedding dinner in Paris and then the couple will fly their guests in private planes to Florence for the actual wedding ceremony."
7:41 am
"Bruce feels like a 'prop' and Kris is wearing her ring for attention"
According to Radar, Kim's step dad, Bruce, feels like a bit of a lemon at The Wedding of the Century.
“Bruce is having a terrible time, and he is bored out of his mind," a source told the site.
"Once again he feels like a prop in the festivities. Kris has been barking orders at everyone since they arrived in Paris for Kim’s wedding. He just wishes he could have stayed at home and played with helicopters."
The source added: “Kris is only wearing her wedding ring in hopes the media will speculate that she is getting back together with Bruce.
"There are no plans for the couple to reconcile and Kris is only doing this to get attention.”
7:36 am
Oh, and here's Kourtney's...
7:33 am
Kendall, Khloe and Kourtney took it upon themselves to pose with Valentino at the pre-wedding meal last night.
The designer seemed more than happy to pose with the sisters as he lead them through the gardens of his chateau in the rain.
Speaking of rain, there's a strong chance of storms in Paris right now.
And we don't just mean in Kanye's dressing room...
7:22 am
It seems the whole Kardashian brood are starting to feel all happy and lovey-dovey about Kimye's wedding.
Rob Kardashian posted a photo of two hands making a love heart.
#Weseeyourmetaphor
Khloe, on the other hand, decided to share some pictures of her bum in a throwback to a pool party in Vegas.
Well, it can't all be about Kim...
7:14 am
We reckon the klan must be up by now.
Kim's probably already started applying her concealer.
Lana Del Ray is also reportedly getting ready to perform for the power kouple.
She did a totes emosh set for them last night at Versailles too.
7:07 am
Excitable Kris Jenner has shared a picture of her Valentino-clad feet.
Don't laugh, it's important.
"Fabulous shoes Valentino @francasozzani1@privategg #herecomesthebride," she captioned the snap, which shows some very extravagant footwear.
6:58 am

Kanye West will be headlining Budweiser’s Made in America festival in August.
The event, curated by rapper Jay Z, will also feature Kings of Leon, Pharrell Williams, Tiesto, the National, Steve Aoki, J. Cole, Girl Talk, Chromeo, Grimes, De La Soul, Baauer, Mayer Hawthorne, Danny Brown, and YG.

Lana Del Rey performs at pre-wedding bash

Yet more glamour
Kim's favourite singer Lana Del Rey performed for Kim and Kanye's guests at the Palace of Versailles tonight, according to reports.
The singer, who was lined up to perform at the main ceremony, was first spotted by gossip website TMZ performing in the hallways of the palace.
And a source confirmed to US Weekly the brunette beauty had in fact entertained the 600 odd guests tonight.
Will she be heading to Italy tomorrow too? We hope so.
11:47 pm
Khloe Kardashian is getting excited about her sister's nuptials tomorrow.
Khloe, 29, wrote on Twitter: "In less than 24hrs @KimKardashian is married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Can't wait till @KimKardashian & @kanyewest wedding!"
Amen to that!

Kim's aunt says star is copying Royal wedding

Kim’s aunt, Karen Houghton, has revealed that the reality star is set to rip off Wills ‘n’ Kate’s royal wedding with her multi European city bash – with Kim even attempting to out-dress the Duchess of Cambridge.
Say WHAT?
Karen said: “Kim loved the British royal wedding and is a huge fan of Kate Middleton. She was just so caught up in that day and very impressed by it, and how it played out on TV around the world.”
What? The queen of reality obsessed with TV coverage?
Karen added that we could even see Kimmy, 33, sporting a crown. “She really loves Kate and the princess has been a huge inspiration as far as her wedding plans are concerned.
“Kim saw how visually stunning the royal wedding looked and wants to replicate that. Kim and Kanye want something just as traditional and classy.”
The Versailles pre-wedding dinner kicks off in style
The pre-wedding dinner in Versailles appears to be almost as big as the ceremony itself is expected to be.
According to a report, 600 guests arrived at the Palace tonight in 90 vehicles. Over the top? Course not.
The couple's guests reportedly had to pass through two checkpoints before they were allowed in.
And, unsurprisingly, the area was filled with fans desperate for a glimpse of the happy couple.
Kim and Kanye arrived in style at a side gate in a porsche, both baring their cleavages in revealing outfits. Naturally.
Meanwhile, the sky over the palace has been made a no-fly zone, according to TMZ, but it is not clear if the order was given because of Kimye's presence.
10:11 pm
French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela has wished Kim and Kanye the best of luck ahead of their big day tomorrow.
The official Twitter page posted a snap of the pair in their revealing evening outfits next to a message written over some mannequins which said: "We are really glad to be part of your special day. Wishing you all the happiness in the world. MMM."
They added the caption: "Congratulations @KanyeWest and @KimKardashian."
It was reportedly Kanye who introduced Kim to the fashion house in 2006, and the reality star previously said: "I was like, 'What’s Margiela?' back then."
How times change.
9:32 pm
Kylie Jenner has posted a cute snap with her beauty guru Rob Scheppy calling him her date for the night.
The star wrote: "My date tonight. This smiling thing is weird.@robscheppy."
She looks gorgeous in a plunging black top/dress and that blue hair on full show.
Rob added his own, and wrote: "Don't tell."
What could he mean?

Matching
Kim Kardashian couldn't wait to wear white for her wedding on Saturday - so got into the spirit of all things marriage early in a very revealing tuxedo-style dress tonight.
But even more shocking, she got her future hubby to dress in a matching male version - and yes, his cleavage was out too.
The reality star is joining her family and friends ahead of the big day tomorrow for a tour round the Palace of Versailles outside Paris.
And of course that meant dressing up for the occasion, or down in this case.
Flaunting her cleavage a whole lot, the bride-to-be went bra-less in the open-front dress, and leg bombed her way out the hotel too.
The flimsy piece of material is half way between a dress and a suit, and she pulled it off a treat - luckily, Kim most definitely suits white.
Kim reckons she has captured some angels in a photo she took today - and they have come to bless her wedding to Kanye.
The reality star took a snap of Italian fashion designer Valentino's long garden, this time miraculously choosing not to step in to the photo, and managed to capture some sort of circles of light in the sky.
We are struggling to decide what they could be, we must admit.
She wrote: "Little angels in the sky blessing us#TheyDidntShowUpInAnyoneElsesPicture #Valentino."

Huh?
Just when we thought Kim and Kanye's wedding location mystery had been solved, and the Italian Fort set for the big bash - preparations have begun in Paris too.
In the stunning Palace of Versailles no less.
What's going on? Two weddings in one day in two separate countries would just be a little too far - but then, we wouldn't put anything past Kanye and his missus.
Lorries have been pictured unloading all sorts of things in the Palace grounds today, and a sign has even gone up informing tourists it has been closed for a "special event".
All sounds a bit suspicious.
Meanwhile, preparations have been going on all week at the Forte Belvedere in Florence, Italy, which was confirmed as the main ceremony location recently.
According to reports, the rapper thinks the whole ceremony has been blown out of proportion (it couldn't get much bigger).
An insider told Radar Online: "He likes Kanye and Kim, but totally talks smack about them behind their backs. When he was asked about the wedding he just laughed and said, 'The circus goes to Paris!'"
Let's hope his speech doesn't convey that.
6:54 pm
Looks familiar
It turns out Kris Jenner has more of a style influence on her daughters than we first realised.
The Valentino dress that Khloe modelled so perfectly today for her sister Kim's pre-wedding brunch, is actually Kris' (that or they own the same one).
A snap was previously posted on Instagram of Kris rocking the outfit, and Khloe posted one of her today with the caption: "It's in the details.... @lorraineschwartz #Cartier #ValentinoFollow."
Share out, why not.
6:38 pm
It's a tough one, what to choose to wear to Valentino's own castle.
But there was an easy solution for the Kardashians - just wear Valentino, of course!
Kim stunned in a plunging butterfly dress as she pushed baby North today, followed by a black suited Kanye and mum Kris.
And Khloe had the same thought, because she showed off her endless legs in a short black patterned dress by the Italian fashion designer too.
Kim didn't show any signs of suffering after her hen do this morning, but Kanye wanted everyone to be quiet as he passed.
The pair were spotted heading to their pre-wedding brunch at Valentino's castle looking seriously glam in, well, Valentino.
Showing off her impressive cleavage in a plunging stunning butterfly gown, Kim pushed baby North in a simple pram as they left their luxury Parisian hotel with mum Kris Jenner and husband-to-be Kanye West.
Forget the L plates and dolls, Kim took 19 friends as well as her family to a posh dinner at Costes before heading out for drinks last night.
As reality star Kim and Kanye West prepare to say 'I do' on Saturday, we've heard mutterings of dramatic corset diets, private palace tours and big pop star performances.
It's all shaping up to be a pretty impressive day.
Now, after enjoying their pre-wedding brunch in true splendour with Italian fashion designer Valentino, we are expecting big things from Saturday's ceremony.
Kim has had her final wedding dress fitting, although it is still unclear if she will be wearing more than one on her big day.
The reality star is ready to walk down the aisle with Kanye in Florence, Italy, tomorrow after completing last minute checks on her top secret designer outfit.
The 33-year-old brunette shared the news during a private family dinner on Wednesday at the exclusive Hotel Costes in Paris, revealing it fits "perfect".
A source told Us Weekly that Kim announced: "Perfect. It's perfect. Yes, it's done", when quizzed about the gown.
Kim - who previously had several outfit changes during her televised wedding to her second husband Kris Humphries in 2011 - is expected to choose between Givenchy, Azzedine Alaia, Balmain and Lanvin on her big day.
4:59 pm
The whole klan have actually spent the day in Italian fashion designer Valentino's French castle today, it has emerged.
Valentino has been posing with the glamorous sisters on his arm in his home's grand grounds - and Khloe even wore a Valentino dress for the occasion.
Momager Kris Jenner posted a snap of the designer with Kendall on one arm, and Khloe on the other - both looking like total supermodels.
And Kris couldn't resit getting in too, and looked stunning for her daughter's day in a red dress.
She wrote: "Thank you Valentino and @privategg for the beautiful lunch today at your magical Castle....unbelievable!!!#herecomesthebride #Giancarlo #unforgettable."
It’s been rumoured that Kim is having a diamond tan for her wedding.
Yes, that really is powdered diamonds all over your skin - and Kim is nothing if not extravagant.
St.Tropez launched the world’s first and most expensive diamond tan, and it's SO posh, it's not even on sale for consumers anymore.
The reality star will likely have a fair bit of skin on show in one of her many gowns rumoured to be planned for the big day, so we will be looking out for that expensive shine.
An insider previously told Heat magazine: "She'd even booked a special spray tan, which covers you in diamond dust."
4:15 pm
Kim and her future husband Kanye are rumoured to have turned down offers of up to $1million for their wedding pictures because of the rapper's desire for privacy.
Erm, wow.
Kim previously cashed in $1.5 million for her 2011 wedding as well as receiving $300,000 for her engagement announcement, and the ceremony was recorded and aired on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Kim confirmed on Twitter recently that the ceremony itself wouldn't be filmed for the reality show. Sad face.
But the good news is, all the prep we've been seeing and (hopefully) the hen do WILL be, so, silver linings.
4:08 pm
If you were wondering (we know you were) what Valentino had planned to buy Kim and Kanye for their wedding - well, it seems he's gone for a baked good.
You can never lose.
Fans continue to share their excitement ahead of the big day on Twitter, and one has shared a snap of Valentino with a lovely cake which we are sure is hand-made, saying K and K with a love heart inbetween.
TOO cute.
The fan wrote: "Valentino got a cake for KimYe that writes "K (heart K" at the pre-wedding brunch OH MY GOD #KimYeWedding."
He looks ready to tuck in.
Khloe and Kendall have just shared two very pose-y shots from inside the Palace of Versailles - where Kim and Kanye are treating guests to a private tour.
The reality star and her man - who were refused permission to marry at the Paris landmark - will be joined by friends and family members to visit sights such as the Hall of Mirrors, the King's Grand Apartments and the formal gardens with fountains and water attractions.
An official statement from the couple and officials at the palace said: "Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have decided to let their guests discover the Château of Versailles during a private surprise tour on Friday, May 23, the eve of their wedding."
2:46 pm
'Italian army called in to provide extra security'
According to a report, the Italian army have been called in to work alongside Kimye's personal security team for their nuptials at Forte di Belvedere tomorrow.
Which is just a little bit extravagant.
The pair have also reportedly now got nearly 3000 guests attending. Which is even more extravagant.
Fresh flowers were seen being delivered to the venue as final preparations are made.
2:11 pm
Lana Del Rey to perform at wedding
The sultry popstar, 27, will be flown out to Europe for Kimye’s extravagant shindig, bagging a tidy six-figure sum.
There can’t be many women in the world who have turned down hip hop star Kanye West. But Lana Del Rey has remarkably been given another shot.
After saying “Nope” to Yeezy’s request for her to perform live at his proposal to Kim Kardashian back in October, the Video Games star has now relented and will be singing at The Wedding Of The Century.
And it seems even selfie-obsessed Kim , 33, won’t mind sharing the spotlight on the day, as Lana will sing Young and Beautiful – one of the reality star’s favourite songs.
1:48 pm
Kim's pre-wedding work out
Kim, keen to maintain her trim wedding figure, has been snapped hitting a Paris gym in the lead up to the big day tomorrow.
16-year-old Kylie suffered the ultimate embarrassment as she tripped and almost fell flat on her face after leaving Kim's hen do/posh dinner at Costes restaurant.
The 16-year-old lost her footing and dramatically clutched onto her sister Khloe for support as fans and photographers watched in horror.
We've all been there (just minus the millions of onlookers...).

Final preparations are being made to the pair's rumoured wedding venue - Forte di Belvedere.
A family member confirmed that Jay and wife Beyonce will be attending the wedding, saying: "Beyonce had to think about it at the last minute, she didn't really want to go, but I think Jay Z's the best man, so he's kind of making her go."
Last month reports claimed Jay Z had turned down Kanye's offer because him and Bey didn't want to be associated with Kim's reality show.
12:10 pm
Kim's Paris hen do
Did Kim throw her hen do last night?
The 33-year-old Kim stepped out in a jaw-dropping bejewelled dress for what was reported to be her hen party.
The brunette bombshell was joined by the rest of the kardashian-Jenner klan and a host of pals for a classy evening at Costes restaurant on the Rue St. Honoré.
It makes a change to the tiaras, cakes, and wands she had at the Las Vegas hen she threw before she married ex Kris Humphries...

It's almost time...
With just one day until the reality star and her rapper man tie the knot, we're here to keep you up-to-date with all the biggest and best gossip - all you need to do is sit back, relax, and read our wonderful words.
The pair have kept tight-lipped about their lavish nuptials, but here's a round-up of some of the rumours so far:
Wedding guests 'will meet at a Parisian palatial estate first'
The guests have been told only to turn up to a palatial estate on the edge of Paris on Friday.
The wedding 'is taking place in a Florentine castle'
A spokeswoman for the mayor of Florence confirmed the pair will be married there by a Protestant minister in the imposing 16th-century Forte di Belvedere.
A source told Entertainment Tonight: "Kardashian and West’s guests will first attend a pre-wedding dinner in Paris and then the couple will fly their guests in private planes to Florence for the actual wedding ceremony."
Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has lost one of his sons in a car crash. Hamza El-Rufai died Tuesday morning in Abuja. The former Minister and Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, broke the news on his faceboook page today. El-Rufai wrote: “From Allah, we came and to Him we shall return. Please join our family in praying for the repose of the soul of my son, Hamza El-Rufai who died in a motor accident in Abuja.” See more photo below:
There will be no shortage of family drama in season 10 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The first look trailer released Monday for the upcoming season of the highly-popular E! series features plenty of fights, sex, romance and even infringement claims for reality television's favourite family. In one of the more tense moments in the clip, Kim Kardashian appears to lash out at younger sister Kendall Jenner, who has a fast growing modelling career.
The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
