Our birthday girl today is Alexa Vega, who played Carmen Cortez on Spy Kids. Didn’t you just love those movies? Okay, I only saw the first one, but it was a lot of fun. Ms. Alexa turns 20 today. Don’t even think about drinking, little girl! I’m kidding - I’m sure she’s had a couple of glasses of champagne already. Anyway, I hope she’s having a great day eating cake and having milk.
On a side note, unfortunately, Haydee’s not feeling too lovely today (yes, I talk about myself in third person all the time), so I will have to cut the posts short today. Sorry, readers! I’ll be back on the same bat channel tomorrow with more lovely pics and thoughts of the day. And here are the other folks celebrating their birthdays today (via USA Today):

You might be all paying more attention to his tween queen sensation daughter, Miley Cyrus, but Billy Ray hasn’t stopped making music. In fact, the man still makes music and performs around the country. Next up, he’s performing at the Walworth County Fair in Wisconsin. Don’t hate on the county fair gig - he might not be doing Hannah Montana shows, but I’m sure he’s enjoying just playing some music. AND, it’s his birthday today. Happy 47th, Billy Ray!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated. We’re gonna do it…! And the theme song continued. Who didn’t love Laverne & Shirley? I tried to find a solo picture of Cindy Williams as Shirley because it’s her 61st birthday today (yes, she’s 61), but I had no luck. Oh, well. We’ll just have to do with this lovely pic of Cindy and co-star Penny Marshall (who didn’t love her ‘L’ imprint on every outfit as Laverne?). Happy birthday, Shirley! You are still fabulous!
