Who’s having a Birthday this week? December 17th – 23rd

It must be a busy week for these stars what with having birthdays and all of the various holiday celebrations that they are likely attending- just as we are at this time of year. I actually don’t think I’d want to have a birthday at this time in December. Perhaps early December but not near the end of the month.

Do any of you share a birthday with one of the celebrities listed below? Which one? If you do share a birthday with one of the stars, do you think your personality is similar to theirs- from what you know of them anyway?

Leave me a comment and tell me about it.
