No one on the corner has swagger like pregnant M.I.A. at the Grammys
(AP photo)
You can't hold it against a very pregnant M.I.A. (of "Paper Planes" fame ... you remember, that song from "Slumdog Millionaire"?) for performing at the Grammys on her due date, but we can poke a little fun at her wardrobe choice. Write a funny caption for this photo (or for Lil Wayne's crazy expression) and submit it as a comment below. Read up on your competition before putting in your caption.
Check out other baltimoresun.com Grammys coverage, including photos from the red carpet and performers on stage.

Comments
Finding she jumped on the baby-bump bandwagon much too late to be in fashion, M.I.A. tried (unsuccessfully) to camouflage her bulging belly.

MIA realized that she couldn't fit into anything she owned for the Grammys, so she "retrofitted" her 7 year old's Halloween bug costume and wore it like it was haute couture...

So those changes to the Family Medical Leave Act that Bush just got through, well guess what, there must be a hip-hop exclusion clause in there, because MIA is still on the job.

M.I.A. shows that's what it's all about as she performs the latest fusion dance called "The Hip-Hop-Hokey-Polka."

Immediately following the Grammys, M.I.A.'s wardrobe consultant was arrested by fashion police for D.U.I. (Designing Under the Influence). The singer had no comment.
