Miia HitFix is reporting that hip-hop artist M.I.A., who performed ON HER DUE DATE at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, has finally given birth.

No news on whether M.I.A. is mom to a boy or a girl.

But the more important question is: Will she be able to perform at the Oscars?

The U.K. rapper and singer is an Oscar best original song nominee for her collaboration with A.R. Rahman on "O Saya,"

 in "Slumdog Millionaire."

M.I.A. had planned to perform at the Acacemy Awards with a mix of "Slumdog's" other song, "Jai Ho," as well as "Down to Earth" from "Wall-E."

I'm gonna put some money on M.I.A. performing on Feb. 22.

The Oscars are almost nine whole days away.

And this chick is tough. She is so not gonna want to miss this.

Congrats to Maya (M.I.A.).

MIA is so fly its undeniable.


Maya (M.I.A.) is A.W.E.S.O.M.E !!! and we love her.

MIA is a great artist. She is unique, talented and is a "refreshing welcome" to the Music world.


She had her baby boy on Wednesday. She announced it on her myspace blog.


Enna, she said she wanted to have a natural, water birth.


she had a boy!


I hear producers of the show are so desperate to get her on stage they're willing to let her do it on a bed! Crazy stuff

I work for Frank About Women, a marketing to women consultancy, and we have created a website to capture twitter chatter about all things Oscar. There will be tons of people tweeting about the goings-on and we'll have polls and fun interactive ways to contribute. I'd love to hear what my fellow readers are thinking as they watch it all go down live. If you're interested in joining the conversation and having a little fun go to http://www.redcarpet09.com.
