TODAY IS
Joaquin Phoenix turns 42 today. I always confused him with the actor, Joaquin Freezer. Or Joaquin Closet. He once got weird and 'retired' from acting. Or is that why we saw him laughing all the way to the bank yesterday?
Brad Paisley turns 44 today. He's a country singer and no relation to Paisley Park. That's not his real name, you know. It's actually Bradley Paisley.
Julia Roberts is 49 and basically, America's Sweetheart.
What a miraculous career -- an actress in her 40's still getting movie roles.
She's got a similar history to Jennifer Aniston, except Julia managed to marry a couple of them.
She was briefly engaged to Kiefer Sutherland; they broke up three days before their scheduled wedding on June 11th, 1991. The breakup occurred in real time.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is now version 61.0.
In honor of his birthday, later in the show, we're planning a 21-PC reboot!
Boy, what do you get for a man who owns everything. I mean, literally, everything -- but what about an iPhone?
If you ever get invited to a class taught by him, remember: never bring an Apple for the teacher.
He's the world's wealthiest man. The other day, I saw ____ asking HIM for twenty bucks.
National Chocolate Day -- Forrest Gump was right -- life is like a box of chocolates. The king of bonbon that pleases your sweet tooth provides a telling insight into the flavor of your personality. "An extensive survey proved the theory that chocolate is one of those foods that taps a wellspring of childhood memories," says psychologist Dorothy Maples, of Detroit, MI. "Kids don't bother with facades. What you see is what you get. And that same core truth about your personality is revealed by your choice of chocolate."

Coming up this Sunday:
Mother-In-Law Day -- celebrated on the fourth Sunday in October. Here's a fun site to take or leave stories about your mother-in-law or favorite relatives. http://www.motherinlawstories.com
Here are just a few tips from experts on how to deal with your in-laws:
Treat your spouse well.
Nothing pleases parents more than knowing that their son or daughter is being well-loved and pampered.
Present a united front.
Never squabble with your spouse in front of his or her parents. If you think hot issues may come up, discuss how you will deal with them ahead of time. If they erupt, stifle yourselves until you can duke it out in private.
Recognize the fact if you were raised in a different family structure.
Realize that a proper New Englander may have difficulty being comfortable in an outgoing Hispanic family. Remember, his or her mom believes her baby is perfect.
Ask mom-in-law to teach you how to cook a certain meal.
Even if it's stewed possum. And if her cooking is terrible, forget about honesty being the best policy.
Pray for your mother-in-law.
Do this for two weeks until you are feeling better about her. And remember, you're married to her child, not her.
Frequently ask their advice, even if you don't plan to take it.
They'll be glad to feel they still have influence on their child's life -- even if they don't.
Discover what their likes and hobbies are.
Even if it's hunting and you're an animal rights activist, show interest and don't start an argument.
Don't clog the toilet.
If you stop up their toilet by accident, clean it yourself. Overflowing sewage doesn't impress anyone and they'll be pleased with your effort.
