Jon Heder -- yes, Napoleon Dynamite -- turns 39 today. Whoa.

Keith Urban made it to age 49, despite his best efforts. All that, and Nicole Kidman. Someone's living a dream.

It's Hillary Clinton's 69th birthday. Husband Bill is planning a nice quiet romantic dinner and then afterward, he'll call her up and wish her a happy birthday!

Mr. Wheel of Fortune, Pat Sajak, turns 70 today. If you'd like to get him something, you could always buy him a vowel. Man, 70 and still spinning his wheels.
