Day 92 - Lots of room over the hill

You may be surprised to learn that I am not the only person turning 30 next year. In fact, several minor celebrities are also turning that age. I may do a longer post on some of the more interesting celebs, but for now, here is the honour roll for the class of 2008.

AJ McLean - Member of the Backstreet Boys. Dude, you're nearly 30. Change the band's name.

Christopher Ashton Kucher - Yes, this is Demi Moore's husband. No, I don't know why he dropped the 'Christopher' from his name. Yes, Dude Where's My Car deserves a sequel.

Pieter van den Hoogenband - Dutch swimmer and winner of the 'name I had to check seven times to make sure it was typed correctly' award. And I'm still not sure.

Jason Biggs - The main guy from American Pie. Ashton Kucher, Jason Biggs, the actor who plays Jack McBrilliant (see earlier post) - was 1978 the year for acting geniuses?

Jordan - English 'model'. Not everyone born in 1978 can be a genius though.

Maria Menounos - Probably has done some other acting and modelling and stuff, but should be better known for her appearance on one episode of Scrubs where she only went out with JD because of his hair. Shallow, Maria's character, shallow.

Erica Durance - Plays Lois Lane on Smallville. On the show, Clark Kent doesn't even wear glasses. I wonder who Superman could be? Work it out, Lois.

Nicole Scherzinger - Lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. Popularised the word "Dontcha".

Jesse Metcalfe - You know the teenage gardner on Desperate Housewives. Not a teenager. I may cast him in the soon to be filmed television drama Mount Waverley 3149.

Katie Holmes - In May 1986, Katie would have been seven. May 1986 is also when Top Gun came out - the film starring her now husband Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born 1962). So, using Katie as a shining example to all of you turning 30 in 1978, here is a short list of films from 1986 from which you can choose your future spouse:
- Crocodile Dundee. (Hmmm...choose another film)
- The Karate Kid, Part II. (Sorry, Mr Miyagi is no longer with us)
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off. (Matthew Broderick - married. Allan 'Cameron' Ruck - soon to be married. Mia 'Sloane' Sara - was married to Sean Connery's son, now divorced).
