Celeb Birthdays: April 11

Jesuchristo, this is a boring batch of D-list birthdays. Seriously, when Joss Stone is your biggest name, you've got a real fame drought on your hands. Well, not that it's your responsibility, it's the universe's.

Actress Dakota Blue Richards of The Golden Compass is 14. Seriously, I don't think anyone saw that movie. Like, not even Keith Urban.

Singer Joss Stone is 21. See Joss Stone's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Model Alessandra Ambrosio is 27.

Actress Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica is 34.

Red Sox captain Jason Varitek is 36. I'm already sick of hearing about baseball this year.

Actor Brett Claywell (One Tree Hill) is 40.

Actress Jennifer Esposito (Spin City) is 35. See Jennifer Esposito's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Lisa Stansfield is 42. Didn't she have some sort of sad reality-show "comeback" attempt lately? Or am I thinking of Taylor Dayne? See Lisa Stansfield's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor-director Vincent Gallo is 46. See Vincent Gallo's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Meshach Taylor, a.k.a. the gay black sidekick of Designing Women and Mannequin, is 61. I know, I know, why does it have to be about him being gay and black?

Actress Louise Lasser of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is 69. I never really got that show. I think irony was different back then.

Actor and memorable Buffy guest star Joel Grey is 76. I still haven't gotten over the fact that he didn't kill Dawn when he had the chance! See Joel Grey's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actor Charlie Hunnam (Undeclared) is 28. I never watched that show, and I need to Netflix it as soon as discs 5 and 6 of Freaks and Geeks are finished, which will sadly be all too soon. See Charlie Hunnam's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

It is so appropriate that hockey player Sean Avery is an Aries, seeing as how he has all the classic attributes like being impulsive, impetuous, aggressive, hotheaded, always butting heads with people, and so on. Not that I'm complaining! I love Avery, though not quite as much as he loves himself. Anyway, he will surely have a happy 28th today after scoring that AWESOME goal last night! What an insane game! GO RANGERS!!!

Singer Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional is 33.

Rapper Q-Tip is 38. We haven't heard much from him lately either, have we?

R&B singer Kenny Lattimore is 38.

Guitarist Mike Mushok of the utterly useless Staind is 38.

Actor-comedian Orlando Jones is 40. I like him because he was in Office Space, and also that movie with David Duchovny about the aliens. No, not the X-Files movie, duh. See Orlando Jones's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Guitarist Warren DeMartini of Ratt is 45.

Singer Katrina Leskanich of Katrina and the Waves is 48. I apologize for the fact that you now have "Walking on Sunshine" stuck in your head.

Musician-producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds hits 50 today, so we might well suspect that his baby face is presently preserved by Botox.

Actor Peter MacNicol (Ally McBeal) is 54. See Peter MacNicol's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

"Action" "star" and total douche Steven Seagal is 57. See Steven Seagal's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Gwyneth on Her Kids' Zodiac Signs

Gwyneth Paltrow is one celeb I would not have expected to believe in astrology. She just seems so Mr.-Spock chilly that you'd think she's one of those "rational" thinkers. (She was in a movie about math, fer Chrissakes.) But here's a cute quote from her revealing she understands that her daughter is ruled by Venus and her son by Mars:

"Apple [pictured at right with her Libra mama] is an open person. She's Taurus; grounded, calm, funny. Moses is Aries, he's the most sweet, sensitive thing but then he'll kick and karate-chop and spit and tumble. He's a real boy." --Gwyneth Paltrow to U.K. Glamour [Source]

If you recall, CelebAstroBlogy posted her son Moses' horoscope shortly after his birth two years ago. Wonder if Gwynnie checked out the chart? Here it is (along with Apple's), in case you'd like to do so....

See Moses Martin's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

See Apple Martin's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Not the most earth-shattering astrological analysis ever committed to the Interwebs, I know--but hey, I promised a break from birthday posts and I delivered toot sweet, gosh darn it!

Celeb Birthdays: April 9

I'm sure everybody is bored of all the birthday posts, and I'm planning to do a chart analysis (or seven) real soon. No, really. I mean it.

Actress Kristen Stewart (Into the Wild) is 18.

Aaagh, the dreaded teen-heartthrob hyphenate! Actor-singer Jesse McCartney (Summerland) is 21. See Jesse McCartney's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl, who went from unknown to ubiquitous seemingly overnight, is 22.

Musician Albert Hammond Jr. of the Strokes is 28. See Albert Hammond Jr.'s birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Feh, "reality" "stars"! Former America's Next Top Model winner Yoanna House is also 28. See Yoanna House's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Care to feel old? Well, then, actress Keshia Knight-Pulliam, a.k.a. Rudy on The Cosby Show, is 29. See Keshia Knight-Pulliam's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Musician Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance is 31.

She of the surgically disfigured hoo-hoo, Jenna Jameson, is 34. See Jenna Jameson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Cynthia Nixon of the eagerly-anticipated-by-people-other-than-me Sex and the City movie is 42. I recently saw her striding purposefully off the 3 train in Times Square at evening rush hour, with her dumpy girlfriend trailing behind like a lost child. I'm sorry, but her girlfriend is dumpy. What do you want me to do about it? See Cynthia Nixon's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Former supermodel and now reality star (feh!) Paulina Porizkova of Dancing With the Stars is 43. See Paulina Porizkova's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs is 45.

Still-hunky actor Dennis Quaid is 54. I am very happy for him that his babies stopped bleeding. See Dennis Quaid's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Someone named Hal Ketchum, who is alleged to be some sort of country artist, is 55.

Actress Michael Learned (The Waltons) is 69.

French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo (Breathless) is 75. I remember when we had to watch that movie in French class in high school. I blame it for making smoking seem cool. See Jean-Paul Belmondo's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Octogenarian polygamist Hugh Hefner is 82. Much as it shames me, I inevitably get sucked into The Girls Next Door every time it happens to come on. You know, I feel sorry for Holly, because she seems to actually really love him, and there is always a kind of sadness in her eyes, whereas the other two are all whoo-hoo-along-for-the-ride. See Hugh Hefner's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) is 28. See Katee Sackhoff's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Emma Caulfield, whom, as I have mentioned ad nauseum, has the rare distinction (although, are distinctions by definition rare?) of having appeared on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 90210, is 35 today. Isn't it time for her to come back to TV?!?! See Emma Caulfield's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Bassist Paul Gray of the lamest band ever, Slipknot, is 36. Oh wait, I forgot about Insane Clown Posse. See Paul Gray's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Patricia Arquette (Medium) is 40. I have a fondness for her from True Romance, but there always seems to be something just a little off about her. Like, maybe the fact that she can't seem to figure out how to wear clothes that fit her? I don't know. See Patricia Arquette's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Recently separated actress Robin Wright Penn is 42. Is she still going by the Penn? And why haven't Sean and Madonna gotten back together yet? These are things I need to know. See Robin Wright Penn's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Rapper Biz Markie is 44.

What Jakob Dylan was to the '90s, musician Julian Lennon was to the '80s; he is 45 today. See Julian Lennon's birth chart (Astrotheme)

NBA great John Havlicek is 68. See John Havlicek's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Comedian Shecky Greene, who is evidently still alive, is 82. You know, you just don't see many parents naming their kids Shecky these days. Go figure.

Celeb Birthdays: April 6-7

Before we catch up on yesterday's and today's celebrity birthdays, I must apologize for a vast and grave oversight: the inexcusable omission of Henrik Lundqvist's birthday, which was March 2. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish my beloved Henrik and his cohorts best of luck in the playoffs as they fight the forces of evil, which are, unsurprisingly, based out of New Jersey. Go Rangers! Jaia Ganesha!

• April 6

Actress Diora Baird of The Wedding Crashers is 26.

Season 2 Top Chef winner Ilan Hall is 27. Did he deserve to beat Foam Boy? Discuss, if in fact you still care.

Tim Hasselbeck, who I hear is some sort of athlete and married to that pixie-looking harpy on that annoying show, hits 30 today.

Actress Candace Cameron, a.k.a. DJ Tanner, is 32.

Rumored cad Zach Braff of Scrubs is 33. See Zach Braff's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Jason Hervey, a.k.a. Wayne on The Wonder Years, is 37.

The most adorable and charming man in the world, Paul Rudd, hits 40 today. See Paul Rudd's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Ari Meyers, one of the daughters on Kate & Allie, whose character I used to think was extremely fashionable back in the day, also hits 40 today.

Frank Black, a.k.a. Black Francis, of the Pixies, is 43. I adore the sound of his and Kim Deal's voices together.

Sitcom relics Marilu Henner of Taxi, 56, and John Ratzenberger of Cheers, 62, share a birthday today. See Marilu Henner's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See John Ratzenberger's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Director Barry Levinson is 66. See Barry Levinson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Billy Dee Williams, a.k.a. Lando Calrissian, a.ka. the "Colt 45--Works every time" guy, is (!!!) 71. Surely there must be some mistake! See Billy Dee Williams' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Country artist Merle Haggard is also 71, which is much less shocking because when your name is Haggard you basically sound like an old coot no matter what age you are. See Merle Haggard's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Guru Ram Dass turns 75. Note the extremely tight conjunction of Pluto and his Cancer Ascendant; no wonder he's so interested in spiritual transformation and rebirth. His Sun closely conjuncts the fixed star Nodus II, which augurs "an artistic and emotional but somber nature, a penetrating and analytical mind, much travel and many friends, but danger of robbery and accidental poisoning. It gives craft, ingenuity, and valor." [Source] See Ram Dass' birth chart (Astrotheme)

• April 7

Actor Kevin Alejandro (Ugly Betty) is 32.

Football player, TV personality, and guest star of last season's lamest Project Runway episode Tiki Barber is 33.

Former MTV VJ and actor-comedian Bill Bellamy of the D-list showcase Fastlane is 43. See Bill Bellamy's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Action star Jackie Chan is 54. See Jackie Chan's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer-songwriter Janis Ian is 57. See Janis Ian's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Musician John Oates of, wait for it, Hall & Oates is 59. See John Oates' birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Director and vintner Francis Ford Coppola is 69. "Vintner" sounds like one of those words that should be followed by "I just met her." See 's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actor Wayne Rogers of my all-time most hated TV show, M*A*S*H, is 75.

Actor James Garner hits 80 today. See James Garner's birth chart (Astrotheme)
