Havoc from Mobb Deep has the same birthday as Biggie? Man, that sucks. Almost as bad as someone using a photo of Prodigy by mistake. Happy birthday, Havoc.

David Wells turned 50 today, and there are a few things worth noting:

1) He could probably still give the Yankees some good innings

2) He can’t be in any worse shape than he was when he was playing.

3) OK, maybe he can be.

4) David Wells made it to 50! Woo!

Happy birthday to Danny Trejo, who’s, well, whatever age he says he is — fuck, I’m not trying to tell him anything.

Phil Campbell, also known as Wizzö, has been the lead guitarist for Motörhead since 1983. As such, he’s no doubt seen shit that you couldn’t even imagine. “Phil Campbell” is also the name of a town in Alabama. It is named after an Englishman, but not the same one. Happy 52nd, Wizzö.

Little-known fact: As part of Wille Mays’ contract, he had two white guys to help him get dressed before every game. Also, dude was ripped. Happy 83rd, Willie.

Happy 38th birthday to squeaky-voiced football legend David Beckham, who looked like this before all the tattoos and hair products (and, you know, puberty).

Giancarlo Esposito was born in 1958, which would have made him 31 when he played Buggin’ Out in Spike Lee’s 1989 magnum opus Do The Right Thing. He turns 55 today. Got your boycott right here.

Jason Lee turned 43 today. Before he became an actor, he was one hell of a street skater. You should probably watch this.

October 19, 2006 was a long time ago. Carlos Beltran is no longer a Met, Shea Stadium is no longer standing. But this still hurts. Ah well, happy 36th, ‘Los.

Valerie Bertinelli, born on the same exact day as Def Leppard guitarist “Steamin’” Steve Clark, wound up marrying Eddie Van Halen. COINCIDENCE? Yeah, probably. Happy 53rd, Valerie. Watch the leg.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why I was into the Stray Cats when I was a kid. It’s not like I’m old enough to remember the ’50s first-hand (shut up) and I didn’t get into other ’50s nostalgia ephemera like Grease, Happy Days or Sha Na Na. But there it was. “Stray Cat Strut,” all that stuff. Anyway, Brian Setzer - who himself was born right at the tail end of the ’50s himself - turns 54 today. Happy birthday.

Christopher “Kid” Reid of Kid N Play fame turned 49 today. Don’t believe it? Back in the day you could have just cut the high-top fade and counted the rings.

The best-known BMX rider in the world doesn’t even really ride BMX anymore. Dave Mirra is more into rally cars these days, but never forget what the man could do on a little bike. And would someone please clean up his Wikipedia page? Disgraceful. Happy 39th, Miracle Boy.

A very happy 45th birthday to former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, who put the andro in androgynous.
