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)

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)
