Celebrity Birthdays

Madonna Louise Ciccone, better known by just her first name, turns 53 years young today. Happy birthday to the seemingly ageless Queen of Pop!

Over her three-decade career, Madonna has sold more than 300 million records is recognized as the top-selling female recording artist of all time.

The star has also received acclaim as a role model for businesswomen in the music industry and for her wide-ranging work with charitable endeavors.

Here's wishing her a happy 53rd birthday today!

On the day that Caylee Anthony would have turned 6, her grandparents held a public birthday memorial for the little girl near Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday.

Attendees released purple balloons (her favorite color) and butterflies in Florida near where the remains of Casey Anthony's daughter were found.

Several hundred people attended the memorial.

George and Cindy Anthony held hands and wore T-shirts that read, "You Will Always Remain In Our Hearts, Caylee Marie Anthony 2005-2008."

Rascal Flatts - She's Going Places (A Tribute to Caylee Anthony)

George Anthony said: "We didn't know how we'd be perceived. It's just a great tribute to our Caylee. Other children have to come home, too."

"That's what should be concentrated on. We know where Caylee's at."

One month after Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder, she remains in hiding for her own safety. She was spotted in Ohio early last week.

With his economic policy compared to a tar baby, and with fellow Democrats lashing out for the concessions he gave away to Republicans in their debt ceiling compromise, President Barack Obama turns 50 years old today.

We're guessing the man could use a vacation.

Instead, he has more work in front of him than ever before: fixing an economy, slashing the unemployment rate, running for re-election in 2012, convincing one party he isn't a Socialist and the other he isn't weaker than the chances of Ashley Hebert actually marrying J.P. Rosenbaum.

At the very least, Obama could use some birthday wishes right about now. Hang in there, Mr. President. At least you helped kill Osama Bin Laden. That guy sucked.

Just over a month after filing for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver accompanied her soon-to-be-former-spouse to lunch Saturday.

The occasion? His 64th birthday!

As they dined at Barney's in Beverly Hills, Shriver and Schwarzenegger were joined by two of their four kids, sons Patrick and Christopher.

Christopher Schwarzenegger, 13, was released from the hospital Tuesday after a bodysurfing accident. He's going to make a full recovery.

After lunch, the pair - who have been estranged since his affair with Mildred Patricia Baena was exposed - were seen shopping, as well.

While Arnold initially refused to pay Maria spousal support in his divorce papers (he later changed his tune and revised the documents), Shriver picked up the lunch tab, ordering the birthday boy an espresso to boot.

Nice to see they're keeping things amicable.

Either Soulja Boy is the biggest idiot of all time, or a lot smarter than people think because he even had this much to burn. Either way ... wow.

The rapper is dropping $55 MILLION on a PIMP ASS private jet, a member of Soulja's management confirms. It's a 21st birthday gift to himself.

The plane alone cost $35 million, but Soulja Boy cranked out another $20 million to pimp dat ride with all sorts of cool stuff. Gotta fly in style.

Also a waste of money? NHL merchandise.

Happy birthday to the hip-hopper in any case. Hope he's got a good finance guy.

Because you only turn 21 once, Soulja's also spending $300,000 to throw himself a blowout birthday party at a Miami nightclub tonight.

Dwight Howard, Bow Wow, and Sean Kingston are expected to attend.

Alex Rodriguez, prolific producer of runs and celebrity gossip material, turns 36 today. Happy birthday to the handsome New York Yankees third baseman!

For his career, A-Rod has belted 626 home runs, battled .302, won a World Series, and produced some of the douchiest moments in modern sports history.

That makes him a lock for Cooperstown and THG's Hall of Fame!

A-Rod and Cameron Diaz at the Super Bowl. Enough said.

Also celebrating a birthday today? WWE great Triple H! Goooo steroids!

Sandra Bullock turns 47 years young today.

An Academy Award winner, Bullock is known to many fans as America's Sweetheart, given her looks, positive attitude and infectious personality.

The way she handled her ugly split with Jesse James (who just confirmed his breakup with Kat Von D earlier this morning) was a study in class.

After winning an Oscar for The Blind Side, Bullock took time off to focus on a much more important role: Mother to adopted son Louis Bardot.

We wish her all the best personally and professionally.

Happy birthday, Sandy!

She may be inappropriate, but Taylor Momsen is now legal at least.

Now 18, the Gossip Girl actress, model and Pretty Reckless singer can now vote, buy a lotto ticket, purchase the cigarettes she's fond of smoking, and marry a groupie in a quickie Vegas wedding without parental consent! Sweet!

Best of all, those experiencing a Taylor Momsen flashing in concert can now enjoy it, knowing it's technically an adult. Happy birthday, Taylor!

Happy birthday, Taylor!

Jennifer Lopez turned 42 Sunday, and reportedly rang in the big day the best way she could - partying carefree and solo in Miami Saturday night!

Given that she just announced her divorce, and given all the rumors of Marc Anthony cheating on her, it's nice that she was able to just let loose.

The American Idol judge has starred in more than two dozen films and released seven successful albums. Not a bad resume for the 42-year-old.

Here's hoping her 43rd year brings more success and happiness. Click to enlarge some of our favorite J. Lo pics below and wish her a happy b-day:
