M.I.A considers marrying Kanye West for green card
"M.I.A faces a tough decision, when here US visa expires in June, potentially forcing MIA to leave her New York digs.
She'll either be heading back to London to be with her mum or moving north to Canada; "Basically, at the moment, I can choose between Montreal and London. My mum's, like, 'I want you here!' I haven't seen her in, like, forever."
But there is a third option as M.I.A explains: "I was at a [Kanye West] show four days ago and [Kanye] was like, 'You have to make this song with me,'" MIA explained. "I think he'll marry me to keep me in the country. He was really dead serious about it"."

M.I.A. fronts new Marc Jacobs line
What's the story? Here's a sneak peek at soundclash experimentalist Maya Arulpragasam's new starring role as the face of Marc by Marc Jacobs for spring/ summer '08. She DJed at the after party for his New York show last month during fashion week and is now fronting the campaign, shot by Jurgen Teller.
This girl already had impeccable style credentials, and is famous not just for her music but also for her unique trend blend of high fashion and street style - but how does this fit with her subversive approach to politics and culture?

WTF did MTV do to MIA. I am disappointed in America. We all need to stand up, raise our voices, and change the way things are going. Support the people who have loud voices, and let the young lead!

M.I.A. -- new album ('case ya haven't heard)
She's back with her highly anticipated follow-up to Arular and it seems as though it was worth the wait. Kala is frenetic and frenzied (in a good way) and is definitely worth a listen (or two). Don't miss her at the T.I. fest in a few weeks (if she shows up!) as it's one of only a few U.S. dates.
