TODAY IS

Wow, we're exactly 8 months away from Christmas!

Actress Renee Zellweger turns 47 today.

• She's had some touch-ups done so that she looks 47 with plastic surgery done.
• You never really hear of her that much anymore. Of course, she never really heard of me to begin with.
• She always looks like she would really rather be wearing sunglasses.
• I've never met her, but I've heard that she's "different"... which is code, of course, for a little "out there."

Hank Azaria turns 52 today. He's Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy and others... to all of them, happy birthday! If you've never seen him in "The Birdcage," you owe it to yourself.

Al Pacino turns 76 today. I remember when someone first said his name to me... and I replied, "Well, Al Pacino if you will!"

World Penguin Day -- A new penguin world record set was set last November by people dressed as penguins -- 325 of them to be exact in London. Under the rules, each participant had to be dressed head to toe as a penguin that consisted of a beak, a black and white bodysuit and webbed feet.
