Celeb Birthdays: March 23-24

Dear readers, I apologize for being a bit behind the curve on the post, but this Mercury retrograde through Pisces is killing me. These are strange days -- when else but a retrograde Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Pisces would there be fire on the ocean? The Mercury retrograde ends on March 25; I don't want to freak anyone out, but please be patient and exercise caution over the next few days. Remain calm and celebrate these B- and C-list celebrity birthdays -- among which I am thrilled to include one of my very favorite B-licious babes, pictured at right.
