It's Michael Jackson's birthday today! He's turning 49. That's almost 50! I hope he starts acting his age and stop bothering kids. Joel Schumacher was also born today he's 69. If you don't know exactly who he is I'm sure you'll know the films he directed like Batman Forever, Batman and Robin. And who can forget the classic 80s films like The Lost Boys and St. Elmo's Fire. It's also Mark Morris's birthday. He's not a famous celebrity he's a choreographer. I knew about him because his company Mark Morris Dance Group is just around the corner of where I live. It's really great to see their dance performances. They have dance classes and Yoga over there too. So instead of going to the Y I go there for some Yoga classes.
So many actors and performers share their birthday today. Shania Twain turns 42, Jack Black 38, and Jason Priestley of Beverly Hills, 90210 also turns 38 (You still remember him don't you? Just in case you don't his picture is on the right.)
Other celebrities like Amanda Tapping of Star Gate fame and Jennifer Coolidge (Pootie Tang, American Pie, Legally Blonde) were born today too!
And here's Shania Twain telling us "look how far we've come". I really think they've come really far in terms of being celebrities and growing in their respective careers.
And in celebration of all of their birthdays here's a MySpace Birthday comment!
Can you believe that Carmen Cortez of Spy kids is growing up so fast? The child actor who played Carmen is Alexa Vega. I almost couldn't recognize her in the wikipedia photo. It's this one:
Did you know that she also sings? But she's not the only singer who's birthday falls on the same day! Both R&B singer Mario and Ma$e are having their birthdays today. Isn't that way cool? I found this Mario's video from 2004. Remember he got two Billboard awards for this one.
I'm a writer by the day and an 'aspirant' DJ by night -- which roughly translates to -- I yawn a lot because I hardly sleep. I write copies for websites, print and TV ads and other ghost writing assignments that keep me fed. You might have read or seen them by chance. I love blogging and the new internet technology stuff.
