Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away — and we’re hoping that 2010 can be the year of the new-and-improved Valentine. We’re thrilled that so many talented folks have submitted their ideas to “Be My Valentine: A Studio 360 Design Challenge.”

And doesn’t a competition merit a celebrity judge? One who is familiar with the trials and triumphs of modern love?
