Wow, today is an auspicious day. Not only is June 14, 1940 the day that Nazi troops invaded Paris during World War II, it’s the day that—just six years later—Donald Trump, an exploded goose down pillow bathed in menstrual blood, would invade the United States.
Angel-voiced singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris turns 69 today, so it’s fitting that we offer her a little tribute.

Dolly Parton—that sugary sweet, tremendously talented, and heavily tattooed angel who fell to earth (either heaven or the Smokey Mountains)—turns 70 years old today so let’s pump up our hair (because the higher the hair, the closer to God), push out our tits, break out our favorite Dolly albums, and celebrate! It’s…
If you’re looking for a reason to binge on The Golden Girls, then your search is over. Throw yourself a party in honor of actress Betty White, who turns 94 today. And while you’re at it, take a moment to admire the luminous Golden Girl sitting pretty amongst the roses in 1964. An appropriate setting given the name of…

I can’t believe it’s Ted Cruz’s 45th birthday already! I feel like it was just yesterday that he was a lonely future dictator at Princeton.
Today, December 16, is the 240th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth in the United Kingdom. You’ve probably heard of her? Let’s mark the day with something Austen wrote to her sister while apparently hungover.
It’s Bette Midler’s birthday! The actress/singer/songwriter/comedian/icon (who’s just an Oscar away from an EGOT) celebrated her 70th birthday Tuesday, and we’d like to honor her life’s work by sharing her 70 most iconic moments!

Grayson Dobra, 2, celebrated his birthday this year with a theme party. The theme wasn’t Bob the Builder or whatever dumb shit two-year-olds like these days. Instead, it was organized around Dobra’s hero: New Orleans personal injury lawyer Morris Bart. This boy has his priorities straight.
Today is Meryl Streep’s birthday! That’s right, there are now 66 candles on her birthday cake and three Oscars on her mantel. You probably weren’t invited to her birthday bash—held last night at her and Don’s beautiful home—but I was*. It was a perfect evening filled with fun, friends, and countless outfit changes for…

March 25th is Gloria Steinem's 81st birthday. While it's not receiving the amount of attention her 80th got (people love big round numbers), newspaper archives reveal that since at least the age of 45, Gloria's ever-increasing age has been as good a reason as any to find something to say about her. Scratch that:…

Friends like Karlie Kloss, Haim, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Sam Smith, and a poop emoji, better…
Of course she's a Sagittarius. It all makes sense now.
When Eleanor Cunningham turned 100, she wanted to do something really special. While I'm sure for plenty of women her age, going down to the local supper club for a night of dancing, or smoking through a couple cartons of cigarettes and downing a bottle of brandy would have sufficed quite nicely, Cunningham decided…
The lucky 17-year-old girl #blessed by the generous hand of Taylor Swift, patron saint of wearing dresses to the gym, has still not spent the $90 the songstress gave her for her birthday dinner at Chipotle.
