I Have a Craving...

for rich chocolate layer cake with cherries in the middle and dark chocolate frosting. Of course, I won't indulge, but maybe one of these people will--today is their birthday.

Actor Kevin Bacon was born in 1958, making him 51 years. It wasn't that long ago that he was shaking things up with his moves in Footloose [DVD FOO]. He is also in these more recent films-- Mystic River [DVD MYS] and Frost Nixon [DVD FRO]. My all-time favorite Kevin Bacon movie is Tremors [DVD TRE]--it's so ridiculous, it's good!

Angelica Huston, turns 58. She is the daughter of director, John Huston, and an accomplished actress. You'll find her in The Darjeeling Limited [DVD DAR], The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou [DVD LIF], The Witches [DVD WIT], and The Addams Family [DVD ADA]. Huston's stepsister, Allegra Huston, tells of Angelica's part in her upbringing in a new tell-all, biography, Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found [B HUS].

Also celebrating a birthday today is country singer, Toby Keith, born in 1961. We have many of Keith's CDs in our collection, including 35 Biggest Hits [CD COUNTRY KEI]. Another singer celebrating a birthday is Raffi Cavoukian, who goes under the name Raffi. He is 61. You'll find his CDs in our children's room, and a few picture books of his songs, including Baby Beluga (illustrated by Ashley Wolff) [JP RAF].

And finally, a big happy birthday to Milo Ventimiglia who is 32! You may know him better as Jess from The Gilmore Girls [DVD GIL].
