West and Kardashian hold hands at Chanel event

[April 25, 2012]  NEW YORK (AP) -- If Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are dating together for publicity -- it's working.

The reality starlet and rapper have refused to confirm they're a couple, but they arrived hand-in-hand at Chanel's seventh annual artists dinner at the Tribeca Film Festival Tuesday night. The two happily posed for the cameras, then sat among a galley of stars at the event.

Other attendees included Robert De Niro, Liev Schreiber, Liv Tyler and Kellan Lutz.

West and Kardashian -- already tabloid magnets apart from each other -- have garnered even more attention since they became a rumored couple. West recently confessed his love for her in song, and they've been spotted out together in New York.

Also Tuesday, E! announced it was extending Kardashian's family reality show for three more years.
