ZOMG! AH-Mazing!

Donatella Versace and her musical muse M.I.A. are collaborating!

The controversial singer let the Versace cat out on Sunday at MoMA’s PS1 event where she flashed her computer screen, which had "Versace prints," "Versace Outlines" and "Bootleg Versace" folders sitting on the desktop.

Rather than denying the whole thing, M.I.A. confirmed the collab, but wouldn't offer up any more deets.

Whatever they're cooking up, we expect lots of bold graphic prints in bright colors!

Ha! It looks like Kristen Stewart's middle finger may not have gone unnoticed after all.

While chatting with the Metro news, Karl Lagerfeld was asked what he thought about M.I.A. and her televised one finger salute during the Super Bowl.

Oh.

Kali Arulpragasam aka M.I.A.'s older sister, has released a gruesome collection under her Super Fertile jewelry line.

The pieces in her fall "Murder" collection resemble gunshot wounds, machete slashes and machine gun spray "to portray the inhumanity around the world".

To add a touch of elegance, each hole or slash is encrusted with rubies, sapphires, and garnets.

The look book images are pretty powerful and definitely add even more shock value than the actual pieces.

Thinks she donates a portion of sales to stop the "inhumanity" of the world???

In case you couldn't tell by the covers, W magazine's July issue is all about music and of course, fashion.

To play up their theme du mois, the mag rounded up some name designers and asked them to dish on their musical muses, some of which are kinda surprising.

Here are some HIGHlights from the spread:

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini on Florence Welch:
"I was captivated by her eccentric style and her willingness to dare. She embodies the cinematic allure and seductive power that is its essence."

Burberry's Christoper Bailey on George Craig:
"For me, George embodies the modern British look."

Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa on Esperanza Spalding:
"I admire her passion and confidence— she is truly a free spirit."

Karl Lagerfeld on Janelle Monae:
"We liked each other from the first second on. Not just because of our style, but also the name: Janelle rhymes with Chanel, no?”

Donatella Versace on M.I.A.:
"Her music and style seemed so fresh and innovative. She is a total artist."

Check out the rest of the musical muses in the gallery (below)!

M.I.A. made an appearance at Karl Lagerfeld's Hogan fashion show on Friday rocking her new look.

We're glad to see she touched up those icky roots she was sporting in London.

Other than that, the image overhaul still needs some a lot work.

Wonder what Unkle Karl was thinking when he saw her???

Believe it or not that's the new and, we guess, improved M.I.A.

The Paper Planes singer showed up to the Ashish fashion show in London on Tuesday looking like a cross between Real Housewife of Atlanta Nene Leakes and Kelis.
