"Anna [Wintour] 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."

But The MET Gala isn't the only place Kim is persona non grata. Reportedly she'll never be asked to pose for Vogue Magazine either. "Anna Wintour would allow Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue over her dead body," the source adds. "As long as Anna in charge you will NOT see Kim on Vogue."
