Celeb Birthdays: October 15

Okay, okay, I'm fine, I'm fine! Not trapped under a bus or anything. Just been really busy and had trouble getting back in groove ... seriously, everything since Labor Day has been a blur; it's only now starting to sink in that it is no longer, in fact, August. (Don't worry, though, I did stop wearing white pants and shoes.) Thank you for your concern, gentle readers, and now let's get back to it....

R&B singer Keyshia Cole turns 25 today.

Queer as Folk actor Mitch Morris turns 27. FYI, he also had a bit part as "Cute Boy" in the episode of Buffy when Riley Finn comes back to the Doublemeat Palace with his new wife, a classic episode that resonates for anyone who has ever run into a hot, successful ex when they were down: "You smell the smell?"

Latin-Christian artist Jaci Velasquez is 27.See Jaci Velasquez's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

R&B horndog Ginuwine turns 36. He even makes having an anxiety disorder sound ssssexy.

Nails-on-chalkboard-perky Trading Spaces host Paige Davis turns 37 today. If you watched her Wedding Story or whatever the fuck that was, you know that she is married to a candlestick and her real name is Mindy Paige Davis Paige. I mean, I heard, from other kids.

Soap diva Vanessa Marcil turns 37 today. I hold no ill will against her for the profound suckiness of the era of 90210 on which she appeared, as it was not her fault. See Vanessa Marcil's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Halle Berry's erstwhile cheating K-Fed, Eric "What Was I Thinking?" Benét, widely studied in medical journals as the stupidest man ever to walk the earth, turns 40 today.

The stars must have been aligned for media whoredom 47 years ago, when cheeseball chef Emeril Lagasse and Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson were born. See Emeril Lagasse's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See Sarah Ferguson's birth chart (Astrotheme)

What would Happiness director Todd Solondz, also 47 today, like for his birthday? Perhaps gift certificates to a qualified therapist? See Todd Solondz's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Dogtown and Z-Boys writer-director Stacy Peralta and Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair are both 49. See Mira Nair's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

The butt of many Jackson jokes, Tito Jackson, hits 53 today.

Singer Chris De Burgh, best remembered for that godawful ballad "Lady in Red," is 58. Personally, I much prefer "Don't Pay the Ferryman." That was a badass song. See Chris De Burgh's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Richard Carpenter of the Carpenters is 60 today, as is actor Victor Banerjee. See Richard Carpenter's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Director/Laverne Penny Marshall is 64. See Penny Marshall's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Linda Lavin is 69.

Two profoundly influential Scorpio-rising thinkers, both felled by STDs, have birthdays today: Michel Foucault would have been 80 while Friedrich Nietzsche perhaps could have lived to be 162 were he in fact the Übermensch. Use protection, kids! See Friedrich Nietzsche's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See Michel Foucault's birth chart (Astrotheme)
