Aligning herself once again with controversy, bird-flipping Sri Lanken singer M.I.A. has teamed with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to create the theme song for his upcoming talk show The World Tomorrow. The “Bad Girls” pot-stirrer tweeted Friday (Apr. 13): “julian assange borrowed my computer last week , im still FREAKING OUT !!!!!

According to a press release, the series, which premieres next Tuesday (Apr. 17) on English-language Russian network RT, will feature interviews from Assange’s home — where he is currently under house arrest for sexual assault allegations — with “interesting and controversial” people who “normally simply would not be given a voice on TV at all.” So does that mean M.I.A. won’t be gracing Assange’s couch any time soon, given her track record of mouthing off in the media?
