No disrespect to the boys, but the 2010 Grammy Awards really could’ve been renamed “Ladies’ Night” given the majority of the event’s biggest nominees, winners, and knock-your-socks-off performances. Taylor Swift took home the night’s most coveted honor (surprise, surprise), but fellow musical leading ladies Beyonce , Carrie Underwood , and Fergie (along with the rest of BEP, of course) held their own onstage and on the red carpet ! Lady GaGa defied gravity in a sparkly orbit dress complete with bedazzled Nina Ricci platforms, and Beyonce (now the most Grammy-decorated female ever !), seems to have taken over JLo’s daring fashion role with her down-to-there necklines.

Whenever people ask where my parents got my name, I never miss a beat before saying “The X-Men.” Am I really named after Wolverine? Maybe, maybe not, but as a lifetime comic book fan I think it’s a better story than “My great-great uncle three times removed was a Civil War hero …” and, well, you get the point. After today, though, I just might start mixing my story up a little, considering that I now share my name with another hero for animals: Boston’s Logan Airport has agreed to stop using glue traps and is the latest recipient of PETA’s Compassionate Action Award
