These are some photos of Kanye West during Paris Fashion Week – he attended the Chanel, Givenchy, Celine and Christian Dior shows while in town. Interestingly enough, Kanye was solo through his whole trip. No Kim Kardashian. Which is interesting because Kim is supposed to be so fashionable and such, and she probably would have loved to come to Paris, right? So, is Kim’s absence reflective of the new rumors floating around that Kim and Kanye are “cooling off”? Or does it mean that Kim is just stuck in Miami, filming her reality show? Or is it something else?

Confidenti@l has learned exclusively that Kanye West had “no intentions” of bringing reality star girlfriend Kim Kardashian to Paris Fashion Week. “He didn’t think it was good for his reputation,” a Kanye spy tells us. “He didn’t want to hurt her feelings.”

The rapper turned fashion designer choose not to show his fashion collection this season, after his two previous Paris shows were bashed by critics. But he RSVP’d without a plus one to numerous shows weeks before telling Kim he was even going.

Despite his inability to handle criticism, West is expected to be back in Paris in March to show his own fashion line, sources said. For now, though, he is palling around with some of Europe’s most famous designers, including Peter Dundas of Pucci, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, and Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel. And Kanye may adore Kim, but sources close to the rapper say “he’s uncomfortable bringing her” and “wants to be taken seriously.”

Meanwhile, Kim was busy filming her reality show in Miami with other members of the Kardashian Klan. She wore yet another outfit entirely too small for her generous curves when she arrived at the Webster Hotel in Miami Beach for lunch Tuesday.

I think this could probably be true. After all, Kanye saw what (allegedly) happened to Kim during New York Fashion Week – Anna Wintour allegedly snubbed her AGAIN, and when Kim tried to befriend Stacy Keibler, George Clooney told Stacy to shut it down. Could it be that Kim is not the ass-tastic muse that Kanye needs to become The Greatest Fashion Designer In the World?

Meanwhile, things just keep getting sketchier. Yesterday, Kanye deleted all of his tweets and left one final one for his fans:

My theory: Kanye is having another introspective moment, another phase where he goes away for a little while and shuns everybody. But does that mean that he’s dumping Kim? Unknown.

Incidentally, Kim has a new interview and photo shoot with Tatler (the UK mag). The interview is pretty boring, but some of the highlights include Kim gushing about ‘Ye, saying stuff like: “It’s so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you’re going through. Being with someone I’ve known for so many years is comforting. He’s been there through so many different stages of my life and before I was famous, so this relationship is a different thing entirely. It’s good to be aware that he definitely doesn’t want anything from me, too, because he understands the business. I can’t even think about being with anyone else than the man I’m with.” Kim says she’s a “hopeless romantic and she “always believe the next one is the one.” And for her next wedding (remember, she’s still married to Kris Humphries)? “The next time, I want to do it on an island with just my friends and family and that’s it.” Maybe this is what has Kanye running scared? That ass wants to get married. Did I mention that she’s wearing a wedding dress in the photo shoot? Yeah.
