Previously: Le Tigre! Sia! Goldfrapp! Ladytron! And now Christina Aguilera, like a ventriloquist, has managed to stay tight-lipped while intimating how she's also collaborated with Santigold and M.I.A.. But specific details about the Best Album Ever otherwise remain cloudy. We don't even have a release date, although a viral should be forthcoming -- it usually is.

Whether you were planning on enjoying a delightful singles' staycation by drawing a bath and listening to Tori Amos' Under the Pink or thinking about lovingly cramming burgers into your paramour's mouth while humming "Afternoon Delight" to the visible discomfort of nearby diners, Valentine's Day no doubt maintains a chokehold on your heart, no matter how large or little it is. And this year, it seems our favorite celebrities -- beacons of hope and faith like Teri Hatcher and that other quite-talented Amy Winehouse soundalike -- share our plebian sentiments about this dreadful day (and let's not kid ourselves, that's exactly what it is).

All eyes were on M.I.A. last night during a Grammy performance that will most definitely go down in the books as either batshit crazy or baller, depending on your stance regarding nine-month pregnant women rapping alongside the likes of Jay Z, T.I., and Kanye. While her enormous belly was impossible to ignore, the part-transparent, black-and-white polka-dot dress the singer-songwriter donned only helped to accentuate her extremely pregnant state. The designer responsible: Henry Holland.

● How does M.I.A. feel about her Oscar nom for the Slumdog Millionaire song “O ... Saya”? The pregnant musician says of the nod: “... maybe I can afford to book Dave Chappelle at the baby shower now.” [PitchforkMedia]
● Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton are in a feud over the inspiration for Gaga’s hit album Fame. Evidently, both went to the same Upper East Side school, and Hilton feels the album is about her. What about this school make its graduates go out without their pant(ies)? [OKMagUk]

When Little Miss Sunshine rode festival buzz and strong word-of-mouth all the way to surprising box-office and a Best Picture nomination, it became "The Little Movie That Could," a charming feel-good tale with enough heart and originality enter the national zeitgeist. Last year, that movie was Juno, and this year, the honor undoubtedly goes to Slumdog Millionaire.

M.I.A.’s much-anticipated clothing line, Okley by M.I.A., has dropped. And for any serious fans of the (very pregnant) singer-songwriter’s inimitable style, the vibrant -- in some cases potentially seizure-inducing -- looks are a must-have. Particularly of note is a pair of relatively tame Afrika leggings, which, at $85, will spice up any look with their textile-heavy style. Pair them with the matching Afrika jacket, however, and you’re going to need serious cred to pull the ensemble off.

Here's a toplist with a difference, courtesy of GQ. It's topically relevant, it's functional, it's their pick for "Men of the Year." The magazine casts a wide net in drafting "athletes, actors and newsmakers" and consequently ends up running the gamut from hipstery coolness to brazen impudence to extraordinary humanity. The roster includes Shepard Fairey, Mad Men's Jon Hamm, the guys of MGMT, the Boston Celtics, and naturally, our incoming President. More telling, however, are entries for M.I.A. and Megan Fox -- a pair of women whose subversive inclusion echoes the far more interesting roster --i.e., which ladies rocked the "Men of the Year" party.

Who doesn’t love a fashion line with a social conscience? Especially when the collection in question is one worth coveting even without the activist element. Take Super Fertile's new line of eye-catching jewelry, "Hunger," for instance. The Brit-based accessories brand is the brainchild of Kali Arulpragasam, who for those unfamiliar is M.I.A.’s elder sis (note: the line’s moniker was conceived long before the musician’s recent impregnation).

Thanks to the Smoking Gun, I now know that before going onstage, Rihanna hankers for hard-boiled eggs, while M.I.A. enjoys nibbling on organic cheeses; if a show's running behind schedule, it's probably because someone was trying to pass off Kraft singles as gourmet. But more importantly, the tour riders also show trends of consumer loyalty among the least likely musicians. Case in point: Björk. Iceland's finest requires Remy Martin, Evian, and Kleenex in addition to various "Ocean Spray products" in order to warble in top form. Although such a demanding supply of Kleenex does seemingly undercut her conservation efforts.

A fresh icon in the making, “Paper Planes” firebrand Maya Arulpragasam throws a few more curveballs our way.
