Happy Monday, readers! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and time well spent with family and friends. In today’s edition of Celebrity Birthdays, a Backstreet Boy, err, former Backstreet Boy turns the big 4-0, a former husband of Pamela Anderson turns 49, and a Gilmore Girls actress is 38 years old today. Any guesses?
Happy Birthday, Gwen Stefani! The No Doubt singer is 42 years old today. She looks rockin’, doesn’t she? Her Harajuku Mini Collection will be sold exclusively at Target starting November 13th, and some promo pics have circulated in the last several days. Adorable! Can’t wait to check out the line of clothing and accessories for my little 10-year-old. Some pics can be found here. Whaddya think?
Happy Birthday, Ashlee Simpson! The younger sis of Jessica Simpson is 27 years old today. Simpson and her boyfriend, Boardwalk Empire’s Vincent Piazza recently took a trip to Cabo along with Papa Joe and sis Jess. Looks like things might be getting serious for Simpson and Piazza, as she recently met his parents during Emmy Awards weekend. The two have been dating since June. Her divorce from rocker Pete Wentz is yet to be finalized, after she filed in February of this year.
Happy Birthday, Jack Wagner! The Bold and the Beautiful star is 52 years old today. Wagner and his fiance, 50-year-old Heather Locklear, have not yet set a date for their upcoming wedding, and there was speculation that the two would appear in their own reality show documenting their nuptials. Locklear nixed the idea because she considers herself a ‘serious actress’. Oh man…I would have totally watched this show! Oh well
