9:13AM Jess McGuire | Remember when it seemed Shane Warne’s life had turned to rubbish? He’d finished up with test cricket, split from his wife, failed at quitting smoking – granted, these incidents aren’t in any kind of chronological order, but you get my point. But these days, Shane is a total success story. The subject of an acclaimed musical, he’s back with his missus, and Uma Thurman is coming to his birthday party. Wait, what? More »

7:16AM STV | IMDB is Finally Legal: We know where your mind probably went hearing that the Internet Movie Database turns 18 today. But despite the lovely note passed along by founder Col Needham, we’re mostly just relieved we can finally throw it out of the house.

Guilt, Power and Paris Hilton-Slaying: Happy Birthday, Joel Silver!
6:15AM Defamer Hollywood | While the French and those who somehow love them celebrate yet another Bastille Day, July 14 has even more festive repercussions around Defamer HQ and Hollywood at large. To wit: Megaproducer/amateur publicist/career advisor Joel Silver was born on this day in 1952. The pride of South Orange, New Jersey, Silver made his first impact in 1970 as the co-creator of Ultimate Frisbee and never looked back. NYU Film School preceded his journey west, followed by an assistantship (and eventual partnership) with producer Lawrence Gordon and, before long, his own shingle — Silver Pictures, the epicenter of bullying, intimidation, projectile paperweights and bona fide blockbusters like Predator, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and The Matrix. The flops came as well, including Hudson Hawk, Richie Rich and House of Wax — the latter of which is avenged in a little tribute video we cobbled together after the jump.

9:25AM Seth | We’d be remiss if we let the day slip by without offering some fond birthday wishes to not-quite-born-on-the-Fourth-of-July Tom Cruise, who turns 46-intense-years-old today. In his honour, we offer a revisiting of one of his most memorable, if uncharacteristic, screen turns, as a masquerade-orgy-seeking physician in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. In this trailer (homemade or Euro-cut, we’re not sure), Cruise nakedly seduces his then-wife and naked-co-star, Naked Kidman. Happy birthday, Tom!

2:50AM Defamer Hollywood | America isn’t the only one having a birthday this week. Last night, Lindsay Lohan — everyone’s favourite freckle-faced, raspy-voiced, psychologically-damaged, naked-picture-taking, gossip-column-filling, potential-half-sister-having, secretly-lesbian actress — turned 22 years old. It’s truly mind boggling to imagine she’s that young. Lohan’s got so many miles of bad road behind her that I pegged her for at least 35. But no, 22— only one year past the legal drinking age which she’s certainly never adhered to. So, how did Linds celebrate this momentous occasion? By throwing an 80’s-prom-themed bash at Teddy’s in the Roosevelt Hotel, of course. Check in after the jump for more party deets than you can shake a stick at.

2:39PM Jess McGuire | Never have I wished I was back in Sydney more than when I received an email informing me of the gigantic celebration for the birth of Minogue The Elder being thrown by SameSame.com.au and STONEWALL.
SameSame.com.au is throwing a big birthday party for her in Sydney called Minogue Mansion tonight – there’s three levels of Kylie goodness, including Kylieoke (Kylie karaoke), The K-Hole (Kylie remixes all night long) and celebrity DJs including Nikki Webster, 2DayFM’s Geoff Field and Courtney Act playing their fave Kylie songs. It’s going to be a full-on Kyliefest.
Kids, that’s a good time by anyone’s standards. Nikki Webster! Dance with your handbag and impress her! Sing along to your Kylie favourites! I’ve been listening to Wouldn’t Change A Thing on repeat as a tribute to Kylie and her forty years of fabulous life, but I’d much rather be listening to it with a glass of champagne in my hand, one arm around Nikki Webster and the other around the fabulous Courtney Act.

We Realise Lindsay Lohan’s 21st Birthday Is Old News Now…
4:12PM Jess McGuire | … but is anyone else really weirded out by the fact Lindsay Lohan had her birthday knees-up over at Courtney Cox’s place?
Lindsay Lohan was in for a special treat when she celebrated her 21st birthday at Courteney Cox’s Malibu, California home on Monday (02Jul07) – her boyfriend flew in from London for the big bash.
British reality TV star Calum Best joined Lohan as she took a break from rehab at nearby Promises to party with members of her family and a few close friends.
The morning after the big bash, as Lohan returned to rehab, Best was spotted contemplating life and love at a home he’s renting just two doors from the party venue.
The former model has been supporting Lohan since her rehab stint began last month (Jun07), and recently called his girlfriend “fantastic” in a magazine interview.
It’s been a couple of days now, and we still can’t get over how odd it is. Like, how are they friends? Seriously?
But it’s nice balding boyfriend Calum Best thinks Lindsay is fantastic, isn’t it? It’d be nicer if he thought she was fantastic the the point of keeping his cock in his pants when she’s not about, but you win some, you lose some. More »
