What a Girl Wants

What a girl wants (and what a girl needs) is a grammar lesson, apparently. Pop singer Christina Aguilera delivered a baby boy Saturday, and her official Web site carried this message (via MSNBC):

Aguilera said that Saturday was "a very joyful and special day for Jordan and
I."

For Jordan and ME. Would she say Saturday was a very special day for I? Probably not (though one never knows, with pop singers). When in doubt whether you should use "me" or "I," drop the other person from the sentence. You'll know right away.
