Celebrity Birthdays

Mel Gibson celebrates another birthday today. The oft-troubled actor is 57.

The movie legend has experienced quite a free fall in the last 5-6 years.

Hopefully, 2013 is a better, happier, quieter 12-month period for ol' Mel.

To say his image has taken a hit is putting it mildly. But images can be rehabilitated with effort and sincerity - and simple, relative calm. No news is often good news.

Park Jae-sang, better known as PSY, turns 35 today.

Happy birthday to the "Gangnam Style" performer!

In 2012, the rapper went from being unknown outside of his native Korea to a genuine global superstar, thanks entirely to his international hit song.

"Hit" may be the understatement of all time.

Douglas became the first American in history to win the all-around individual title at this year's games. Among her rewards?

Between these two mega stars, readers, who do you think will go down as the better athlete?

One of the best actors in the history of cinema celebrates a birthday today.

Denzel Washington, set for yet another Oscar nomination due to his work in Flight, turns 58 years old. Send in your birthday wishes to the intense legend now!

A native of New York, Washington has won a pair of Academy Awards, one for Best Supporting Actor (Glory) and one for Best Actor (Training Day). The man exudes screen presence.

Other famous folks turning a year older today include:

Sienne Miller (31), John Legend (34), Gayle King (58) and Maggie Smith (78), who returns for Downton Abbey Season 3 on January 6.

For the record, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are NOT an item.

But the former is celebrating a milestone today, as Tomlinson will be free to down as much egg nog and champagne as he wants on Christmas: the One Direction singer is now 21 years old!

Tomlinson is the oldest member of the wildly popular British boy band, besting Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan by two years.

Look for these young artists to present fans with a special gift early in the new year: the official music video for "Kiss You," the third single from their latest album, which was penned by Ed Sheeran.

Among other celebrities celebrating a birthday on December 24: Ryan Seacrest is 38, Stephenie Meyer turns 39 and Ricky Martin can dance the night away as a 41-year old.

Alyssa Milano at 40 looks not a day older than Alyssa Milano at 30 if you ask us.

The actress, who celebrates the big 4-0 tomorrow, could easily pass for younger.

As you can see, she's still looking flawless or darn near close to it:

Further proving her youthfulness? Husband David Bugliari threw Alyssa a surprise prom-inspired party last weekend at the The London in West Hollywood.

Because she never went to her high school prom, of course. Sweet gesture by her guy. After looking at these Alyssa Milano pictures, we just have to ask ...

If This is 40, would you still hit it?

Big day for Christina Aguilera today.

Not only does the pop superstar and Voice coach mark her NBC singing competition's third season finale, she turns 32 years old! Happy birthday, girl!

Christina has been around a long time, and been through a lot. She's been to the top of the music world, given birth to a son, and been through a divorce.

In the '90s, Mickey Mouse Club co-stars Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell nicknamed her "the Diva" for her performance style and voice.

She certainly proved them right with the level of stardom she attained ... seven studio albums, 50 million units sold and tens of millions of dollars later.

Katie Holmes turns 34 today. Congratulations to the beauty on that milestone!

It's been quite a year for the actress ... mostly because she left Tom Cruise.

Seriously ... how was Dawson's Creek on that many years ago now?

While you may still be confused over that Brad Pitt Chanel ad, there is nothing confounding about this:

The actor turns 49 today! Send in your best birthday wishes to the four-time Oscar nominee now!

Pitt, of course, will likely marry Angelina Jolie someday. But the couple seems content for now just trotting around the globe, helping with various causes and raising the most diverse family in Hollywood.

And while the star is coming off a major bomb in Killing Me Softly, movie fans are excited about his next project. Watch the World War Z trailer now to understand why.
