TODAY IS

Illusionist David Blaine is working on the illusion of looking younger than 43 today. He's about to embark on his greatest feat ever -- making the prime of his life disappear, right before your very eyes.

Nancy McKeon, who played Jo in "The Facts of Life," celebrates her 50th birthday today. Nothing like observing the birthday of a show and actress you barely remember who doesn't look anything like she used to look. I'm officially declaring this the last time we bring her up, until next year.

Robert Downey Jr. turns 51 today. In his early days, he did his best not to. It's no small miracle. He's had the life experience of a 151-year-old.

David Cross, who plays Tobias on "Arrested Development" turns 52 today. If you didn't know, he's married to 32-year-old actress Amber Tamblyn.

Craig T. Nelson ("Coach," "Parenthood") turns 70 today. I can't think of the name of that TV series he used to be in... but he co-starred in "Blades of Glory" and played the coach.

Kitty Kelley turns 74 today. She's written many tell-all books about famous folks, including Frank Sinatra and Nancy Reagan. You can look them up after you look up Kitty Kelley.

Tater Day -- the first Monday in April. Show some spuds some love!
