She has been charming Britain with her witty personality and sparkling charisma as a judge on the X Factor.

They joked last year that they were girlfriend and boyfriend before despite the 13 year age gap - and Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian were reunited last night.

However, in a neat twist, it now appears that the pair are in the business of matchmaking for other people.

Kim, 30, and Justin, 17, were back together at the Do Something Awards last night and were pictured having fun together.

She's a Belieber: Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian were reunited last night at the VH1 Do Something Awards at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles

However, it seemed the pair truly did have ulterior motives, with Kim tweeting afterwards: 'At awards w @JustinBieber! Just met his friend, wonder if that's who he wants 2 set Kendall (half sister Kendall Jenner) up w LOL'

Last year, the pair declared their love for each other in a series of jokey Tweets after meeting at the White House Correspondents Dinner in May.

They then went on to shoot an ad campaign together in the Bahamas then did a 'Mrs Robinson' style photoshoot for Elle magazine - causing uproar amongst the teen's fans, the Beliebers.

Gossip girl: Kim let slip on her Twitter that she was trying to set up a date between a friend of Justin's and her half-sister Kendall Jenner

However, Kim is now happily spoken for, and is tying the knot next week with Kris Humphries, while Justin is dating Disney star Selena Gomez.

Kim had taken time out from her hectic wedding preparations to squeeze in her appearance at the Do Something Awards and poured her curves into a form-fitting white gown.

She shared the spotlight with former Disney star Demi Lovato, who also went for the same colour scheme as Kim.

Long and short of it: Kim wore a full-length white gown, keeping her flesh under wraps, while former Disney star Demi Lovato wore a revealing short number at the Do Something Awards in LA tonight

Legs on show: Demi teamed her look with peep-toe heels with her dress coming complete with silver embellished detailing, while Kim's form-fitting gown still managed to show off her famous curvesto

Transformed: Later inside the event, Demi slipped into a floor-length flowing gown to perform onstage

But while Kim put in a rather demure turn in her floor-length outfit, Demi put her flesh very much on show in her short and low-cut design.

The duo posed together at the Los Angeles event, before making their way inside the Hollywood Palladium.

Later Demi took to the stage to perform, transforming into a full-length ensemble, while Kim made an on-stage appearance and mingled with the fellow guests, including Justin Bieber.

Turning heads: Stunning Kim, wearing her hair in a simple ponytail, addressed the audience from the stage

Other stars in attendance included model Tyra Banks, who also had her photograph taken, and Kristen Bell, who brought along her husband Dax Shepard.

Bell, 31, dazzled as she made her arrival in a short asymmetrical gown and smooched before the cameras with Dax.

She is also one of the guest presenters of the night with main hosting duties going to Glee star Jane Lynch, who was at the helm last year too.

Towering: Model Tyra Banks looked even more statuesque stood next to pint-sized Kim

Colourful: The former model wore blue trousers teamed with a pink top and green waist band while, right, Justin wore a black and gold combo

Kristen was also in the running for the Do Something Movie Star honours, competing against Orlando Bloom, Kathy Griffin, Scarlett Johansson, Daniel Radcliffe and Olivia Wilde.

But it was Wilde who bagged the award, arriving on stage in an odd-looking pleated dress with a slit right down the centre around her chest.

David Beckham - who looked dapper in a black suit and was joined by son Brooklyn, picked up the athlete gong and was presented with it by his friend, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

And Beiber won in the singer category, collecting his trophy onstage in a pair of standout gold jeans and a black T-shirt.

It also recognises people in the entertainment industry who have helped with charity projects.

The top 5 Do Something Award receive a $10,000 community grant, while the grand prize will bag $100,000 to spend their charity project.

In it to win it: Oliva Wilde won the movie star award at the ceremony, while Justin was delighted with his trophy in the singer category

Well done, sir: David Beckham accepted the Do Something Athlete award from his friend, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay

How smart: Dapper David brought along his son Brooklyn to the event
