Emma Watson, Hermoine from the Harry Potter movies, turns 26 today. If you see her, don't bring her Hogwarts. She's a little sensitive about those...

Seth Rogen turns 34 today. I'm still waiting for his full apology for "The Interview." I want an apology and a full refund.

Emma Thompson turns 57 today. It's a Double Emma Day!

Country singer Roy Clark turns 83 today. Ironically, his biggest hit was "Yesterday When I Was Young" and he wasn't.
