*Jan. 20 – Rainn Wilson – Emmy nominated actor, most well known for playing Dwight Schrute on The Office.

*Feb. 22 – Rachel Dratch – Saturday Night Live alumnus and extremely funny woman. She is one of my all-time favorite SNL cast members. I think she is vastly under-rated and should be a much bigger star. Personally, I also think she's hot.

*Feb. 27 – Donal Logue – Actor most well known for playing Sean Finnerty on Grounded for Life. I've been seeing this guy on TV for years and he's always funny and likeable.

*Mar. 10 – Edie Brickell – Lead singer of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. What I Am came out in 1988. That song really takes me back to high school.

*Apr. 5 – Mike McCready – Lead guitarist for Pearl Jam.

*Apr. 9 – Cynthia Nixon – Emmy, Tony & Grammy winning actress most famous for playing Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City. I may just have a thing for redheads, but she was always my favorite one on that show. She's been acting since she was a kid. Did you know she was in Little Darlings way back in 1980?

*Apr. 15 – Samantha Fox – British pop star and Page 3 girl. She had a massive international hit with Touch Me in 1986.

*Jun. 4 – Cecilia Bartoli – Incredibly talented Italian opera singer. One of my fondest dreams would be fulfilled if she would come sing in Seattle. I can listen to her sing all day.

*Aug. 7 – Kristin Hersh – Lead singer and guitarist for Throwing Muses. She has also had several incredible solo albums including Hips and Makers & Sky Motel. One of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. She should be much more famous. I've seen her play live three times now and she kicks ass.

*Oct. 31 – Adam Horovitz – King Ad-Rock of The Beastie Boys. Who imagined back in 1986, when Licensed to Ill came out, that they would still be together 23 years later?

*Nov. 2 – David Schwimmer – Emmy nominated actor. Played Ross Geller on Friends. I think I've seen every episode of Friends at least three times.

*Dec. 8 – Sinéad O’Connor – Phenomenal Irish vocalist. One of the best female voices to emerge from the 80's. I adore Sinéad O'Connor.

*Dec. 9 – Toby Huss – Very cool actor. You might remember him as The Wiz on Seinfeld or Artie the strongest man in the world on The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Perhaps you've heard him as the voices of Cotton and Kahn on King of the Hill. I became a big fan when he was playing Stumpy Dreifuss, the cooch show hawker on Carnivàle. That was a great show that was cancelled far too soon.

*Dec. 20 – Chris Robinson – Lead singer of The Black Crowes.

*Dec. 21 – Kiefer Sutherland – Emmy & Golden Globe winning actor. Famous since 1987's The Lost Boys. Most well known as 24's Agent Jack Bauer.
