Tim Cavanagh's "Cavalcade of Celebrity Birthdays"

Comedian Tim Cavanagh is heard regularly on the nationally syndicated "Bob & Tom" radio show, highlighting celebrity birthdays. Tim rigorously researches each celebrity's life to find interesting "nuggets" or "quirks" overlooked by other celebrity birthday reporters. And if he cannot find a particularly engaging tidbit, he'll make one up. Some of his celebratory comments on these stars are sampled below. (By the way, feel free to put a birthday card in the mail to any or all of these great celebrities. Note: if the celebrity is deceased, you might want to send a Belated Get Well card instead.)

12/3/60 -- It's hard to believe that actress Daryl Hannah turns 47 this week. I mean, for the past 10 years, she's looked like she's at least 50.

1/16/79 -- The late R&B star Aaliyah would have been 29 this week. Her life was cut tragically short at 22 when the small plane she was in crashed on take off from the Bahamas. She was there to shoot a music video, and the speculation at the time was that the huge wardrobe she brought with her for the video shoot was so heavy that the plane couldn't sustain flight. Her death certificate actually backs up that speculation. Under cause of death, the Coroner wrote: "Too much junk in her trunk."

1/21/40 -- One of golf's all-time greats celebrates a birthday this week. Jack Nicklaus is 68 -- that's four under par for those of you keeping score.

2/5/42 -- Roger Staubach, perhaps the greatest Dallas Cowboy quarterback ever, turns 66 this week. And as part of that Cowboy quarterback fraternity, he gets to date Jessica Simpson's mother.

2/11/79 -- Sexy singer and actress Brandy is 29 this week. Rumor has it that she has secretly married Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, making her one hot Brandy Alexander.

2/17/81 -- Paris Hilton turns 27 this weekend. And you know what happens to 27 year old Hiltons? That's right... They get new carpeting.
