Every week, in cooperation with The Week magazine, we explore who had a good week and who had a bad week. This week, our good week award goes to venerable groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, who in spite of protestations by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, predicted six more weeks of winter.
Meanwhile, things weren't so great for Taylor Swift. The country singer gets our bad week award for not only sang out of key at the Grammys, but also broke one of her trophies.
