  • Oksana also won a special award for the skater with the most vowels.
  • I still think her name makes a great sobriety test.
  • It was always tricky when she skated. Whenever the judges announced her name, it sounded like they were getting sick.

Greg Germann turns 58 today. Oh, you've seen him. He was in "Ally McBeal." Think smarmy... yep, that's the guy!

Singer Michael Bolton turns 63 today. Last we saw him, he was belting out a song in a Honda commercial. There was a time when he was the hottest thing going. Now he's just going.

Mitch Ryder turns 71 today. Great lyrics in "Devil in the Blue Dress" for the hard of hearing. If you didn't catch it the first time, you have a couple of more chances. "Devil in the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress, Devil in the blue dress on."

Fats Domino celebrates his 88th. He had a thrill. On Blueberry Hill. He's now over the hill. And that thrill.
