The beautiful Kate Winslet (pictured) is 33 on Oct. 5. Can anyone even remember the last good movie she was in?

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is 40 on Oct. 7. Least sexy frontman ever? Not while Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo still lives.

Simon Cowell is 49 on Oct. 7. In our opinion, he’s the only reason to watch “American Idol.” Ever.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson is 67 on Oct. 8. Think he still wants to cut Barack Obama’s you-know-whats off?

“America’s Got Talent” judge Sharon Osbourne is 56 on Oct. 9. Married to Ozzy, mother to Jack and Kelly—when has she ever been exposed to talent?

“Dancing With the Stars” vet Mario Lopez is 35 on Oct. 10. But he’ll always be A.C. Slater to us.

The princess of perkiness , Kelly Ripa, is 38 on Oct. 2. Seriously—do you think she and Rachael Ray are the same person?

His lite-rock lordship Sting is 57 on Oct. 2. Loved the Police reunion—although that still doesn’t excuse “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.”

Singer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is 24 on Oct. 3—and if anything is even less interesting than her sister, if that’s possible.

Atlanta’s neo-soul queen India Arie, the musical equivalent of self-empowerment guru Oprah Winfrey, is 33 on Oct. 3.

Gwen Stefani is 39 on Oct. 3. See, girls? Start a mediocre ska-pop band, marry a third-rate grunge leftover and you, too, can be famous!

Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is 46 on Oct. 3. Will he triumph over Ludacris on Planet Green’s “Battleground Earth.” Oh, the anticipation is simply too great.

Nicole Richie (pictured) is 27 on Sept. 21. And scientists say the chupacabra is a myth.

“The Boss” himself, rocker Bruce Springsteen, is 59 on Sept. 23. As nicknames go, “The Boss” is better than Mick Jagger’s: Scary Grandpa Joker.

Atlanta-based hitmaker Jermaine Dupri is 36 on Sept. 23. Yo, J.D., how about that Kriss Kross reunion?

Newswoman Barbara Walters is 79 on Sept. 25. We’re still upset with you for creating “The View,” Babs.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is 36 on Sept. 27. We’re still shocked that we didn’t hate her in “Iron Man.”
