Celeb Birthdays: April 24

You win this round, Kelly Clarkson! You have actually succeeded in the feat of transcending "reality show winner" status to become an actual musical artist, and therefore I am compelled to acknowledge your 24th birthday. Curses! Foiled by the undeniable catchiness of "Since You've Been Gone"! See Kelly Clarkson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Country singer Rebecca Lynn Howard, whom people in the red states have presumably heard of, is 27.

I hope that Eric Balfour, of the first season of Six Feet Under and the very first episode of Buffy (you can guess how things turned out for that character), gets a breakout lead role for his 29th birthday.

O.C. actress Melinda Clarke is 37. See Melinda Clarke's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Entertainer Cedric the Entertainer turns 42 today, as does actress Annabella Sciorra. See Annabella Sciorra's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

A Taurus with Libra rising, 52-year-old Jean-Paul Gaultier is doubly influenced by Venus, fitting (no pun intended) for a fashion designer. See Jean-Paul Gaultier's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Love her or hate her, Barbra Streisand turns 64. Aries-rising folks often have, shall we say, distinctive noses. See Barbra Streisand's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Jill Ireland is 70. See Jill Ireland's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Ebullient/annoying diva, Shirley MacLaine, is 72. With a Moon-Neptune conjunction in her 12th house of the subconscious, no wonder she's so interested in her past lives. See Shirley MacLaine's birth chart (Astrotheme)
