George ClooneyToday, Academy Award and Golden Globe winner George Clooney turns 49 and let me just say, 49 never looked so good!

From his acting debut in 1978, Clooney has taken Hollywood by storm, starring in films such as Batman & Robin, Out of Sight, Ocean’s Eleven, and Syriana.

But he’s not just a talented actor — he’s also an accomplished director, with films such as Good Night, and Good Luck, and Leatherheads under his belt.

And on top of everything, he’s also a philanthropist, raising funds for the Darfur conflict, 2010 Haiti earthquake, Tsunami, and 9/11 victims.

It’s clear — George is a pretty big deal. In fact, Ellen Degeneres had been trying to George on her hit show for months last year! Check out the reaction when she finally did!

Posted by Katie on April 30, 2010 in General

cloris leachmanToday’s birthday girl is truly one of my favorites! It gives me great pleasure to wish Cloris Leachman a very happy 84th birthday!

The American actress has won 8 Primetime Emmy Awards, 1 Daytime Emmy, and an Academy Award — pretty impressive career!

But no matter what Cloris has accomplished as an actress, all anyone seems to talk about these days are her dance moves. That’s right — Cloris was a contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2008 and became an instant fan favorite.

She may be in her 80’s, but you’d never know by her moves on the dance floor. Check it out for yourself!

Happy Birthday Jerry Seinfeld!

jerry-seinfeld-ticketsComedian Jerry Seinfeld is celebrating his big day today! Happy birthday Jerry!

Jerry is one of America’s most celebrated comedians, best known for the hit comedy Seinfeld which ran for almost a decade! That’s a longtime on primetime…

But Seinfeld doesn’t define Jerry’s career. In fact, since the Seinfeld crew called it quits, Jerry has seen success in numerous projects including the animated movie Bee Movie, which he co-wrote and co-produced, and The Marriage Ref, NBC’s new hit reality series.

So while Seinfeld is no more (no matter how badly we all want it back!), for old-time’s sake, here is the cast of Seinfeld wishing all of you Tauruses out there, a very happy birthday!

Comedian Kevin James Turns the Big 4-5!

Posted by Katie on April 26, 2010 in General

kevin_james_xxxHappy birthday to actor/comedian Kevin James!

You likely know Kevin from his role as the lovable Doug Heffernan in CBS hits Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens, but Kevin has expanded his resume over the last few years, spending more time on the silver screen! His most recent projects include I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Hitch, and Grown Ups.

So how did Kevin break into Hollywood? Check out starpulse.com to learn more!

An everyman comic who shot to stardom thanks to a series of guest appearances on friend and fellow funnyman Ray Romano’s popular sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, Kevin James wasn’t exactly the class clown fans might assume during his formative years. Though his healthy sense of humor did help the Mineola, Long Island native to make plenty of friends while growing up, it wasn’t until he took a public speaking class in college that James truly discovered the power of laughter. The son of an insurance agent and a devoted housewife who only worked off-jobs when necessary to support the family, James majored in sports management at State University of New York at Cortlandt before dropping out to hone his talents as an entertainer in community theater and various improvisational groups. Subsequently following his older brother to the standup stage, James made his debut at Manhattan’s East Side Comedy Club in 1989 to surprising, if not predictable, results. Though James made a killing his first night, a disheartening appearance the following night with the very same material and a whole new crowd would teach the aspiring comic an important lesson in failure. Undaunted by his death on-stage and determined to roll with the punches, James quickly learned that the unpredictable world of standup comedy was filled with as many ups as it was downs. His survival instinct ended up serving him well; a fateful set at the 1996 Montreal Comedy Festival became the defining performance of his early career. James was soon signed to appear on Romano’s fledgling sitcom in addition to receiving his very own development deal.

Happy Birthday Jeffrey Dean Morgan!

jeffrey-dean-morgan-295The ever so handsome Jeffrey Dean Morgan is celebrating a birthday today — happy 44th Jeffrey!

He may not have the same name recognition as Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, but Jeffrey is quickly making his way into the hearts of American women all across the country.

If you are a Grey’s Anatomy fan, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know — you likely fell in love with him around the same time Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) did.

But if you aren’t an avid viewer of the ABC hit, you can also catch him as the gorgeous Irish musician in P.S. I Love You or as superhero, the Comedian in Watchmen.

Take a look as the charming Jeffrey Dean Morgan chats it up with Rachel Ray!
