Did you attend this year’s event? Which was your favorite recipe?

The world was brought to a standstill late Sunday evening when President Barack Obama confirmed that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. operatives in Pakistan.

Americans quickly gathered to celebrate outside the White House, and before you knew it, New Yorkers were gathering in Times Square and at Ground Zero, as well.

We’ve pulled together photos from this truly historic moment. Check them out now.

When you are watching the NCAA Tournament this month, expect to see many shots of cheerleaders, particularly during timeouts. And why not? These young (mostly) ladies are athletes in their own right, and add a lot to the ambiance. Here’s a preview of the cheerleading squads that will be represented this March.

Every Valentine’s Day for the last 20 years, Loveland Ski Area has held its Marry Me & Ski For Free Mountaintop Matrimony event, in which couples can get married at 12,000 feet. At the end of the ceremony, couples ski downhill for a party with cake and music. Check out photos from this year’s event.

Over two days, the top dogs of the competitive world compete in NYC’s Westminster Dog Show. Check out photos of these purebred pooches on Day 1 of the show.

This couple, Kathryn O’Conner and James Oliver, really love aquariums. So much so in fact that they decided to have an underwater blessing in the Ocean Reef Display in the London Aquarium on Valentine’s Day. The ceremony was conducted through written cards from the other side of the glass.

This is a pretty strange story…but so romantic at the same time! (If you’re a water person)

One of the most talked about topics this week hasn’t been “Who’s gonna win a Grammy on Sunday?”, but actually “What will the stars wear on Sunday?”. Here’s a gallery featuring some of the most outrageous outfits from past Grammy Awards ceremonies.

If football’s not your thing, there’s still something for you to watch on television during Super Bowl Sunday.

Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl pits adorable pup against adorable pup every Super Bowl Sunday. This year’s contestants are strong as ever and cuter than Tom Brady and Tony Romo combined. You can watch Puppy Bowl VII on Animal Planet, February 6th at 3pm Eastern/2pm Central. Warning: You may have to fight for the remote that day!

Which puppy is your favorite?

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since the horrific earthquake that shook Haiti. After the tragedy, Americans pledged over 1 billion dollars –  32 million dollars by text messages alone. But has it made a difference?

You decide.

In this series of compelling composite photos, here are some different locations in Haiti both then, and today.

Bundle up and sip on some hot chocolate as your browse through this gallery of recent snowstorms in New York, Atlanta, Asheville, N.C. and even, Las Vegas.

The hysteria surrounding the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton has a lot of Brits rolling their eyes. London gallery KK Outlet is responding to the madness with a send-up of the ultimate collectible: the commemorative plate. A current exhibition features china plates that thank the couple for a day off (which will be a national holiday in the UK), among other snarky messages.

A mix of style and utility, it might be the size of most of our house, but it’s surprisingly understated. OK, who are we kidding? It’s insane.

Martha Stewart’s blog has become quite the guilty pleasure for voyeuristic Martha fans — and real estate junkies. Martha doesn’t hold back with the photos from her multiple estates, and in her latest photo gallery featuring her laundry room, she does not disappoint.

And be sure to check out an oldie but goodie post. Martha visited the DMV (she’s just like us!) and lived to tell. We warned you, this blog is internet crack.

I don’t think this is the white Christmas many people were hoping to get.

A powerful East Coast blizzard jeopardized travelers by air, rail and highway Monday, leaving thousands without a way to get home after the holidays after major airports, rail lines and highway were forced to shut down for a second day.

And I thought it was cold in Texas…
