A very happy birthday to two über-fab friends who are very dear to me: Michele and Kevyn.
Hope your birthdays are as wonderful as you are. Cheers to many more years of love and laughter.
Love you both so much!!!

That is all.
Simon Le Bon is 53. Happy birthday, Simon.
I have no beef with Simon. Frankly, however, if it was my top choice for Duran Duran birthdays, then we'd be celebrating Johntaylorday.
Perhaps we can just pretend it's Johntaylorday, yes? Ready? Go!
HAPPY JOHNTAYLORDAAAAY!!!! Wooooo! Confetti! Cake! Fabulousness! We love you, John Taylor! Wooooo!
Sorry, Simon. Better luck next birthday, sir.

Today is a big deal, dahling...
It's Mahalia Jackson's 100th birthday.
I just got a little misty-eyed. Just thinking about her makes my soul feel better. Hallelujah!
Happy, happy birthday, Mahalia.

It's Evel Knievel's 73rd birthday!
The 433 broken bones he suffered during his career earned Evel an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records as the survivor of most bones broken in a lifetime.
Happy birthday, E. Hope you're jumping dozens of buses and shark tanks on that motorcycle in the sky.

Suzanne Somers is 65.
We're totally getting older.
Just sayin'.

Sheesh... that name is too long to fit on the header. Such is the price of fabulousness.
Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon (a.k.a. Madonna's daughter) turn 15 today.
Even at this young age, Lourdes' style sense is uh-mazing. I see a very bright future. Go, Lola!

Raise your hand if you think Beverly Johnson is fabulous! All hands up? Everybody? Good. Because she is, unquestionably, fabulous. She's the first African-American woman to grace the cover of American Vogue, for crying out loud. Without here, there would be no Naomi, Tyra, Alek, et. al.
Happy 59th, Bev. Such a class act.

Yes: BORING. AS. HELL. DAY. Have a happy one, dahling. The birthdays today are preposterously snore-inducing. That's all I'm gonna say.
Darryl Hall is 65 today. Now you can start collecting those benefits, pal. Good job, rocker!
Here's the big question of the day: Do you know which one is actually Darryl Hall? No cheating, Googler! Stop it! Just guess, damnit.
How did you do? It's all right if you got it wrong... wait, no, it's so not all right --- it means you're a total LOSER!!!!
I'm only mocking you to make myself feel better, dahling. I didn't know the difference between Hall and Oates until about, ummm, yesterday. Seriously, I still screw it up. Shame on me.
Happy birthday, Mr. Hall... with your pseudo-Groucho 'stache and beady eyes. Welcome to 65, sir.
Egad! Tricked by Oates again! When will I get it right? New mantra: Hall equals ginger mullet... Hall equals ginger mullet... Hall equals ginger mullet... Hall equals ginger mullet.
I'll get you, Hall & Oates, if it's the last thing I do. Cue evil cackle!
OK... this video... the sequined devil striding across the stage at the 1:07 mark... five stars.

"I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass." --- David Lee Roth
David + Lee + Roth = Beyond fabulous.
It's hard to believe he's 57; the man seems like he's eternally 24.
The bravado! The sass! The screams! The bulge! The incessant yammering!
We heart you, Dave. Keep up the good work. Happy birthday.
I was just touched by the haiku gods! I'm compelled to create a haiku poem for David Lee right now...
David Lee Roth, sir:
You are a god in spandex.
Rock on, I say... rock.

He'd be 71. He'd want us to celebrate. It's quite difficult not to curse Mark David Chapman. Sigh.

Happy 61st birthday to Robert "Kool" Bell, singer, songwriter, bassist and---last, but certainly not least---founding member of Kool and the Gang. Get it, Kool! Celebrate good times, come on, henny!

Did you know that October 5th is the most common birthday in the United States? It's true. Google it.
It falls about nine months after New Years Eve, so I believe that booze has a lot to do with this. Happy birthday, all you products of champagne-soaked coupling. Auld lang syne, betches.
Clive Barker is among the ranks of the October 5th birthday masses. His parents must've been altered by more than champagne, because Clive's brain works in very gruesome ways.
Clive, you creepy genius, happy birthday.

Jackie Collins is so fabulous that she deserves to be slapped repeatedly until she finally confesses, "OK, OK! I admit it: I am more fabulous than any woman should ever be! I absolutely rule, OK? You can't handle this fabulousness! You can't haaaandlllle iiiiiit. Shut-up! Stop looking at me! F**k you!"
Clearly, Jackie, we admire you. Happy 74th birthday, betch.

2. James Brown's tour manager.
3. A Baptist minister.
4. Stabbed in the chest on a schoolyard.

If you answered yes to all of these, then---congratulations!---you're the Rev. Al Sharpton. You're also 57 today. Happy birthday, good sir!
