"I used to be your favorite drunk..."

A three-day auction of over 700 items from the late Yves Saint Laurent's personal estate are on the auction block this week at Christie's and are expected to earn a sum of $384 million.

M.I.A. To Perform On Due Date

People is reporting that M.I.A. has agreed to perform at the Grammy's this Sunday, despite the fact that the ceremony falls on the same day as her due date. M.I.A. is up for two awards and has agreed to a live performance. Seeing a very pregnant M.I.A. rap on stage, ginormous belly bump exposed for the world to see would be pretty spectacular.
