Celebrity Birthdays

Kristen Stewart has a reason to celebrate today, and we aren't referring to what appears to be a healthy relationship with Robert Pattinson.

The actress is now 23 years old!

Stewart most recently starred in On the Road and has reportedly signed on to reprise her role in a Snow White and the Huntsman sequel, although Rupert Sanders will not be behind the camera for it.

The Internet's most favoritest, grumpiest cat turned 1 this week.

As you can imagine, it sucked. This is Grumpy Cat after all.

Despite achieving more in a year than most of us could dream about in a lifetime - fame, fortune, meeting Ian Somerhalder at SXSW - Tardar Saurce remains incorrigible.

One can sympathize here. Birthdays often fail to live up to expectations, even for eternal optimists. People make such a BFD about them, and for what?!

Ooooh, you didn't die in 12 whole months!? Whoop-dee-doo.

Anyway, hopefully year two will eat it slightly less maybe?

Happy birthday, Grumps.

Jamie Lynn Spears, who has been more or less of the spotlight since getting pregnant at age 16, turns 22 today. Yes ... her daughter is about to turn five.

The sister of Britney Spears welcomed baby Maddie in June 2008, and since then, she's kept a low profile, opting to focus on motherhood and herself.

We applaud that. We also congratulate her on her recent engagement to Jamie Watson! She was previously engaged to her baby daddy, Casey Aldridge.

This is a step up. Dude didn't strike us as an upstanding, committed type of guy. Casey that is. We don't know him personally, but that was our gut feeling.

Either way, Jamie Lynn Spears is thriving these days, and we couldn't be happier. Join us in wishing her a happy 22nd birthday, and tell us, out of curiosity ...

Who's hotter?

Amanda Bynes turns 27 today.

Hopefully, the beginning of her 28th year on this planet marks a turnaround from a tumultuous 27th, which began with a DUI arrest almost exactly a year ago.

Since then, well, you know ...

She's driven around smoking out of a pipe, been involved in hit-and-runs (plural), scoffed at Lindsay Lohan comparisons and asked President Obama to fire a cop.

Beyonce appeared on Today this weekend to celebrate her birthday.

The world's smallest dog, not the singing-dancing-acting sensation.

The adorable little cutie was born last spring and unveiled by Beth DeCaprio of Northern California's Grace Foundation, a rehabilitation ranch for animals.

Veterinarians had their doubts the preemie would survive but, a year later, she's thriving! Weighing a whole three pounds! All together now ... AWW.

"She survived death three times," said DeCaptio. "We were able to revive her. She's really just a miracle pup. Imagine what she can do in her second year."

By that, she means her "ambassadog" status. She's become the poster dog for encouraging spaying and neutering while not euthanizing animals.

Happy Birthday Bey!

One of the most successful artists in all of music turns 27 years young today.

Happy birthday to Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga!

The only question is how the injured New York City native will celebrate.

She was forced to cancel her tour thanks to hip pain, which for her is like a fate worse than death. The star could really use your birthday wishes this year!

Kate Gosselin turns 38 years old Thursday and if any fans wish to send in their best birthday wishes to this attention-starved mother of eight and wannabe celebrity, you can go ahead.

Mariah Carey turns 43 years old today, but don't bother getting the music legend any gifts. One, she can and will buy herself plenty with her massive fortune.

Two, she already has the best presents of all: A loving, adoring husband in Nick Cannon and two beautiful twins! Who are about to turn two next month!

Life is good for the singer these days (and Nick, apparently):

What does the professional future hold for Mariah? Beyond beefing with Nicki Minaj on American Idol? Who can say. But she's already made her mark on history.

We wish her the best in her career and personal life today and every day, and encourage you to leave your b-day greetings for the superstar in the comments.

Also celebrating birthdays today: Jessie J (25), Brenda Song (25), Fergie (38), Nathan Fillion (42), Elizabeth Mitchell (43) and Quentin Tarantino (50).

Former American Idol judge and perennial rocker Steven Tyler turns 65 years old today.

No, seriously. 65!!!

But the Aerosmith frontman shows no signed of slowing down, still playing shows with his iconic band, still acting a bit nutty and even pushing for legislation in Hawaii that would outlaw the paparazzi from doing its annoying thing there.

It's incredible that Tyler is here to celebrate the major birthday, considering he's admitted to snorting half of Peru in the 1970s.

Katharine McPhee turns 29 years old today.

And the former American Idol finalist could really use your birthday wishes, considering NBC has shoved Smash to Saturdays and all but canceled it following a poorly rated Season 2.

But McPhee has received mostly positive reviews for her portrayal of Karen Cartwright, proving her acting chops and looking downright gorgeous in the process.
