Ted Danson
Happy 63rd birthday to actor Ted Danson who was born on December 29. I’ve always loved the show Cheers and I am very happy to report that Ted Danson is a super nice guy! I’ve met him many times and both he and his wife Mary Steenburgen are the coolest! Thanks Ted, and I hope you have a great birthday!

Susan Lucci
The queen of the soaps, actress Susan Lucci turns 64 on December 23, 2011. We wish her a very happy birthday. I’ve met her on many occasions and she is so nice! My family has always been on team All My Children, and meeting Susan Lucci for the first time was like meeting a long lost family member. Of course, I told this to Susan Lucci and she gave me a hug! Love her! Happy birthday, long lost relative!

Steven Spielberg
Happy birthday to Steven Spielberg who celebrates his 64th birthday. The man has written, directed and produced so many movies that have made my life a much better place and I am grateful for his life! I feel an Indiana Jones marathon coming on. Many happy returns to Steven Spielberg (who also shares his special day with Brad Pitt).

Ari Lankin
We’d like to wish a very special happy birthday to artist Ari Lankin today! Ari’s art is great. He is a master of many styles and as you can see above, his abstract paintings are both colorful and will give you endless viewing pleasure. You should definitely check out Ari Lankin’s official site as he often shows “process videos” where you can see a time-lapsed video that covers the inception to completion of selected paintings. I am fascinated by the videos as he often starts a painting in one direction and by the time it’s finished, it has taken a radically different direction. On a personal note, I’ve been lucky enough to visit Ari’s Manhattan studio and he is such a cool guy who in addition to being incredibly talented, is extremely cultured as well. Love ya man! Have a great birthday!

Dick Van Dyke
Happy birthday to Dick Van Dyke. You knew he was destined for fame by having the words “Dick” and”Dyke” in his name. I can somewhat relate! The legend turns 86 today and we wish him a great one and many returns!
