Stealing the Glitterati

I was surfing the IMDB yesterday and looking at the page for Owen Wilson, when I noticed that he and I have the same birthday. So I clicked on the date to see who else has my birthday. Kevin Nealon, Chloe Sevigny, Elizabeth Perkins, Delroy Lindo, Linda Evans, Margaret Atwood and Peta Wilson are all in my club. I like it. It has a kind of alternative-rebel-pottymouth vibe to it. Except for Linda Evans. Who let her in?

The IMDB page for November 18th also listed the couples who had been married on that day. And know what? I have to share my birthday with the wedding anniversaries of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise…AND Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones…AND Marilyn and Dan Quayle! I don’t think I’m too happy about this. If I ever become totally famous, I’ll never be able to have a big birthday bash because everyone else will be off celebrating the unholy union of one of these three couples. I’ll be left with no one but James Van Der Beek and Nicole Richie. It’s so unfair!

    Hmm. I share my birthday with Mason Gamble, Kate Moss, and John Carpenter.

    That’s kind of sad. It means that when you and I become movie stars and we both star in a multi-million-dollar romantic comedy with all these other actors and actresses doing cameos, and it has a year-long shooting timeline (to accomodate everyone’s schedule, you know) the party that happens on your birthday will be so much better than mine.

    Still, Kate Moss will be at MY party. Rowr! Maybe Kevin Nealon can tell you some jokes.

    Don’t worry. When you’re famous, today’s super couples will have long since divorced. And no one cares about Marilyn and Dan Quayle.

    I wouldn’t worry. The Quayles aren’t serious competition anymore and all right thinking people are creeped out by Tom and Katie. That just leaves The Douglas-Zeta-Jonses and really, how many people are they going to invite? There’s probably half the A-list left to come to your party.

    I’d think that most people, given the choice between a birthday party for Kevin Nealon and one for you, would choose yours. Is it just me, or is that guy one of the unfunniest people ever from SNL?

    And BTW wouldn’t it make more sense to see who has the same anniversary as yours, instead of who has an anniversary on your birthday?

    Dick Van Dyke, Christopher Plummer, John Davidson, Ted Nugent, Tom Verlaine, Wendie Malick, Jamie Foxx, Steve Buscemi. Kind of a motley crew! I only knew about a couple of those (Christopher Plummer and Ted Nugent) before looking them up. Kind of cool to share a birthday with Steve Buscemi. And another surprise — Dick Van Dyke is older than Christopher Plummer. Who knew?

    Ted Nugent! That’s funny. You’ll have a cool and sassy birthday party.

    As for the anniversary date — a party’s a party. I’m kind of freaked out to be sharing a major event of any kind with TomKat.

    I just checked our anniversary date and it’s all clear — no mega couples, just lots of people who are already divorced or dead. We’re not traditionally big anniversary people but I’ve just declared it a new big bash, gift-giving celebration!
