After eight years of not speaking to each other, the two women kissed and made up Monday at Joia, Casares' Miami restaurant, sources say.

In case you've forgotten, the feud linked to each woman's separate relationship with Madonna. Bernhard was pals with Madonna. Casares was pals with Bernhard. Casares became pals with Madonna, and suddenly Bernhard was out. She went on to dis the other two unmercifully in her act.

Last February, Madonna and Casares showed up at Bernhard's cabaret show and reportedly used a cell phone to order pizza during the performance.

In November, Casares and Bernhard were at Moomba at the same time, but neither approached the other.
