TODAY IS

Anita Ward turns the big 6-0 today. Years ago, she had the hit, "Ring My Bell." Now, her name doesn't even do that.

• Her name may not be familiar, but her number one hit will always "Ring My Bell."
• Aw, for the days of disco and repetitive lyrics.
• Remember everytime "Ring My Bell" is played, an angel gets its wings.
• Have a shot every time she sings "Ring My Bell" and you'll never hear the end of the song.

Peter Criss, co-founder, original drummer, and occasional vocalist of KISS, turns 71 and he's still wearing makeup.

Illusionist Uri Geller turns 70 today.

• He first became famous for bending spoons, using only his mind. Then, as he got older he realized, "Hey! I could just use my hands!"
• He's a mentalist who can bend spoons and make clocks run backward just by using his mind. Of course, try to eat soup or figure out the right time whenever you're over at his house.
• He became famous by bending spoons and stopping watches, which explains why no one invites him to formal dinner parties anymore.
