Celeb Birthdays: April 13

Slightly unhinged chanteuse Nellie McKay turns 24.

Self-proclaimed "actress" Courtney Peldon turns 25 today. I mention this not only out of barrel-bottom-scraping desperation due to the sub-D-list quality of most of the celebrities born today, but as an excuse to give props to one of my fave sites, Go Fug Yourself, which has adopted La Peldon as the poster child for random tacky-ass red-carpet skanks. And also, she's dating Crispin Glover, which is disturbing on so many levels. See Courtney Peldon's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

The Ricker himself, Ricky "Rick" Schroder, turns 36. See Ricky Schroder's birth chart (Astrotheme)

The harmlessly cherubic actress-host-comedienne Caroline Rhea turns 42.

R&B singer Peabo Bryson turns 55. Who names a kid "Peabo," anyway?

The E Street band's drummer and bandleader for fellow Aries Conan O'Brien, Max Weinberg, 55.

The world's most romantic Reverend, Al Green, hits 60. See Al Green's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Much-heralded Irish poet Seamus Heaney, whose Taurus daughter, Catherine, was my BFF in 9th grade, turns 65. Damn, I should Google her and see how she's doing. Happy birthday, Mr. Heaney! See Seamus Heaney's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Paul Sorvino also turns 65 today. However, I was never BFF with Mira. See Paul Sorvino's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

"Founding" "father" Thomas Jefferson would have been 263. With Uranus on the Capricorn Ascendant, no wonder he was a revolutionary in some ways, a reactionary in others. See Thomas Jefferson's birth chart (Astrotheme)
