Singer M.I.A., featured in the ads for designer Marc Jacobs' spring collection: "The whole time I was doing that campaign I was like, 'Does Marc Jacobs know who I am?' He didn't let me into his parties and stuff six months before.... I have my own label now, which is the only thing I've been wearing recently." [WWD]

"Does he know who I am?" Ugh. So I guess MIA has officially joined the douchebag team.
Sorry, but no, I guess he didn't know that you're a moderately successful british pop starlet with a cult following in the USA.
Or maybe he did, and just didn't care, because you lack, um, a PENIS, and that seems to me MJ's key pursuit most of the time. That is, when he's not making tons of money designing clothes for other penis-havers.
Congrats on the clothing line that nobody has ever heard of though.
@Buzz Killington: I don't think she meant that statement in a "don't you know who I AM" diva moment, more so like "doesn't he know that I'm the same girl he disses 6 months ago and now is starring in his campaign??"
Don't be startin shit where there is none, Gawker!
Starring in the Marc Jacobs biopic: Robert Downey Jr. or Dermot Mulroney?
@Lucia Toledo: by the time he's old enough and distinguished enough to deserve one, they'll both be too old.
It is weird that he has her as a model when 6 months before he wouldn't let her into his parties but that's celebrity for you.
Why does she want to go to his parties? Doesn't she have parties of her own?
And why doesn't she just shut the hell up?
Maybe if we ignore her she will go away.
The whole campaign is three years too late.
MIA who?
