leahremini.jpgHappy Birthday actor Leah Remini

Born: June 15, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Angelo Pagan (19 July 2003 – present) (1 child)

QUOTES:

But inside, I’m going, ‘Oh my God, is my zipper up? Do I have a booger in my nose?’ That’s my inner monologue.

I applaud my mother now for getting me through that time and making me believe in myself.

I try to be a good person. I know what my downfalls are, so that’s a good thing.

I love men who know when to put their foot down and when not to.

I love a man in a suit. Men should stay clothed, even if they have nice bodies.

There’s a lot involved in going to the bathroom for women.

The guy has to kill the spider and get the dead mouse outta the pool.

Men stop trying after a while and get lazy.

Men have just come up to me and asked for my number right away. That doesn’t work. You have to know somebody and have a conversation.

I used to do skits for my mom… and I was always entertaining as a kid.

Happy Birthday: Boy George

festreviews Happy Birthday, Uncategorized , , ,

boygeorgeHappy Birthday musician Boy George

Born: June 14, 1961 in Eltham, Kent, England, UK

He was the lead singer and vocals of 80s band Culture Club which formed from 1981-1986. Joined together again in 1998.

Has four brothers: Gerald, Kevin, David and Richard.

Has one sister: Siobhan

Co-lead vocal, with Annabella Lwin, in Bow Wow Wow for a short while under the stage name of “Lieutenant Lush”.

Overcame a heroin addiction which nearly killed him c. 1987; was treated by electro-acupuncture, as was Eric Clapton in the 1970s.

QUOTES:

I’m bisexual… when I want sex, I buy it.

When it comes to DJing, I’m more of a shit stirrer than a mixer.

I know Victoria’s Secret – He’s a man!

I am what I am. There’s nothing I can do about it.

I don’t get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?

I tend to deal with depression by being angry which is probably not a good thing. What really makes me depressed? I guess sometimes there’s a revelation that you’re on your own no matter how many people you know – that’s quite depressing.

[on ending his feud with George Michael] We have exchanged emails and things are pretty good between us. We’ve spoken a couple of times and he’s doing OK.

Happy Birthday: Diablo Cody

diablocodyHappy Birthday writer Diablo Cody

Born: June 14, 1978 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

Married to: Daniel Maurio (2009 – present) (2 children)

QUOTES:

Stripping toughened my hide, but exposing myself as a writer has been a lot more brutal.

I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.

I’ve been told that I’m incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn’t function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.

If this whole writing thing doesn’t work out, I’ll be getting right back on the pole.

[on screenplay-writing for actresses] The attitude toward women in this industry is nauseating. There are all sorts of porcine executives who are uncomfortable with a woman doing anything subversive. They want the movie about the beautiful girl who trips and falls, the adorable klutz.
When you’re in a competitive environment, always give out the impression that you don’t care. It makes people want you more. If you act desperate, it’s over. I think a passive attitude is helpful.

The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.

Having your film made is the award. That alone is the miracle.
To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.
