February Celebrity Birthdays

This is the time of year for hearts, flowers, candy, and February celebrity birthdays. Read on to find out if your favorite star is celebrating a birthday this month.

Drew Barrymore celebrates a February birthday

Elvis and Priscilla Presley's baby turns 38 this year. Everyone's favorite celebrity daughter has found success in her own right, with two albums certified gold. Due to high profile marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage, Presley's personal life has garnered just as much attention as her musical talent.

Shakira

Hip shaking crossover sensation Shakira celebrates the big 3-0 this year, and what an amazing 30 years it's been! With songs topping both Billboard and the UK Singles Chart, and fans in countries spanning the globe, this Latina goddess has truly found worldwide acceptance.

February celebrity birthday boy Garth Brooks entered the country music scene in the late 80s. With his brightly colored western attire and his high energy performances, Garth was quickly a force to be reckoned with. Hits such as Friends in Low Places, The Dance, and If Tomorrow Never Comes guaranteed Garth a prominent place in music history. His divorce from longtime wife Sandy and rumors of a love affair with fellow country star Trisha Yearwood won him a place in the tabloids. Brooks and Yearwood finally wed in 2005.

Favorite Friend, turned moviestar tabloid staple, Jennifer Aniston also celebrates a February birthday. After high profile relationships-- and breakups-- with Brad Pitt and Vince Vaughn, Aniston has more time to focus on her career and has three films slated for 2007 release.

She caught the nation's attention as the younger sister of Winona Ryder in Mermaids and became a star as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family, but it was her adult roles that cemented Christina Ricci as a serious actress. With sexually charged roles in movies like The Ice Storm, Prozac Nation, and Monster, Ricci has successfully broken the child star mold.

NBA legend turned entrepreneur extraordinaire, Michael Jordan turns 44 this year. "Air Jordan" first sailed onto the NBA court in 1984, and still holds the record as highest scorer in NBA history. Unfortunately, MJ's personal life has not always been so bright. He has suffered through the shocking murder of his father, allegations of gambling, and reports of marital problems. Jordan and his wife filed for divorce on December 29, 2006.

With her long family history of acting, it was inevitable that February celebrity birthday girl Drew Barrymore would become an actess. She was first bitten by the acting bug-- and her costar-- when she appeared in a dog food commercial at the age of one. After that unusual career start, Drew went on to capture the nation's attention in ET, Irreconcilable Differences, and Poison Ivy. All was not well with Drew, however, and she struggled through well-documented bouts of alcoholism and drug use. Unlike many child stars, Drew was able to slay her dragons. She went on to achieve fame and success as an adult and is one of the most beloved stars of our time. You can see Drew in all her quirky cuteness in movies like The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, 50 First Dates, and Charlie's Angels.

Hannah Dakota Fanning was born on February 23, 1994, and she has already made a lasting impression on Hollywood. After guest roles on television shows, such as ER, Friends, Ally McBeal, and Spin City, Fanning was chosen to co-star in the Sean Penn movie I Am Sam. The role won her a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination and a Best Young Actress award, and the young actress was suddenly in demand. Roles in Taken, Trapped, Sweet Home Alabama, Uptown Girls, Man on Fire, Hide and Seek, and Dreamer soon followed. Her most recent starring roles include War of the Worlds and Charlotte's Web.

Fresh-faced Kristin Davis turns 42 on February 24. While Davis is best-known for her role as Charlotte on Sex and the City, the actress has also appeared in Friends, Seinfeld, Will and Grace, and Melrose Place. In addition, she has starred in several family movies, including The Shaggy Dog and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D. Her personal life has included a who's who of celebrity boyfriends, including Alec Baldwin, Jeff Goldblum, and Steve Martin.

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor celebrates her birthday on February 27. With her violet eyes and amazing lashes, Elizabeth Taylor is widely considered one of the most beautiful women of all times. Starring roles in films such as National Velvet, Cleopatra, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, North and South, and Doctor Faustus earned her a place on the American Film Institute's list of the Greatest Female Stars of all time. Thanks to her eight marriages and divorces, she was also a longtime tabloid favorite.
