Celeb Birthdays: August 23-24

Ewps! We seem to have fallen a bit behind here at CelebAstroBlogy. How a Project Runway viewing turned into an all-day-all-night debauch is still beyond me. And I wake to find out that Pluto has been "demoted"?!?! "Dwarf planet"—WTF is that about? Does this mean that Pluto-ruled Scorpios now ride the astrological short bus? I am pretty pissed about this, although I would conversely be pretty stoked if Xena got to keep its name and turned out to represent the warrior princess archetype. Thoughts? Please cruise by the CelebAstroBlogy forums and weigh in on this planetary shakeup. Anyhoo, I digress... let's get caught up on those celebrity birthdays.
