… in 1933, Newsweek magazine was published for the first time
… in 1958, Saint Clare of Assisi was declared the Patron Saint of Television
… in 1967, the Beatles released Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane as a single in the US

Today is the birthday of:

… Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna)
… Rene Russo
… Loreena McKennitt
… Lou Diamond Phillips
… Michael Jordan
… Dominic Purcell (Prison Break)
… Denise Richards
… Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day
… Jerry O’Connell (hey, I’m still pissed at you for being nasty to Alexis on Ugly Betty the other night)
… Joseph Gordon-Levitt
… and Paris Hilton (she was born? I thought she emerged from a pod or was hatched from an egg or something … )

… and me!

Today I turn 29… for the fourth time I gotta have some secrets. Besides, after 25, the next landmark birthday is 65, and who wants to think about that? It’s coming up too quickly for me as it is.

And so, if you happen to be in close proximity to any of the people I’ve named above, be sure to wish them a happy birthday!!
