Birthday

Jessica Simpson turns 30 tomorrow, and she's not skimping on the celebrations — she and her boyfriend, Eric Johnson, were spotted out for a affectionate stroll this afternoon on the romantic Italian island of Capri! We're marking her big milestone by taking a look back at highlights from her first three decades, and her mother Tina and sister Ashlee just might be on their way to join the party after taking off from LAX yesterday. Jessica has gone out of her way to prep for her big birthday with a diet and an alternative health regimen, but her new romance seems to be the cause for the smile on her face.

Every birthday is sweet when it's your child's, but there's something extra special about celebrating baby's first year on the planet. Picking the perfect cake is breeze, but picking a keepsake gift can be stressful. Starbucks recently asked for support in our Q & A group, saying:

My baby girl's first birthday is coming up. What did you guys get your babies for this special occasion?

Whether you begin counting down as soon the six-month mark passes or shrink at the coming of your birthday month, the anniversary of you is a reason to celebrate. But while some people eagerly broadcast the changing-of-their-age well in advance, others will let the day pass without fanfare, or even acknowledgment. They may even be (genuinely) mortified if a friend, co-worker, or Facebook leaks it. Maybe it has to do with introversion and extroversion, but some people are birthday people, and others simply aren't.

So when it comes to throwing your birthday bash, there is a great divide in how to go about it. Some won't plan anything — maybe concede to a dinner out with close friends (but do not draw attention with candles) — and others will plan their own party. While a few will go all out with a weekend party, a dinner on the actual day, and festivities in between.

I've heard of parades that go from house to bar and birthday charades that last all month long. So when planning your day, can it go too far? Or when it's your birthday, should you party as you want to?

Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, and Ciara headed out to Drai's Hollywood in LA last night to celebrate Timbaland's birthday. Paris got the party started by showing off her moves on a stripper's pole, as she continues making the club rounds following her breakup from Doug Reinhardt. She was wearing a skimpy dress, though was still a lot more covered up than at her weekend bikini party. Justin Timberlake, meanwhile, raised his glass to his frequent collaborator Timbaland after their last single "Carry Out" hit airwaves in February.

The odds of giving birth on your own birthday are relatively small, but it happens. A Chicago mom hit the jackpot when her triplets were born on the same day she was — April 12. What's more incredible was the doctor who delivered the three boys also was celebrating his birthday. Evelia Rivera got three little gifts for turning 25! Do you know any parent and child that share their special day? LilSugar's daughter was born on leap year, and she has two classmates who also debuted that day! What are the chances? Tell us of the unique situations you've heard about.

My guy's birthday is tomorrow, so I can't help but have birthdays on the brain — plus, I love a good excuse for a party! If you're a birthday fanatic like I am, check out these three sites for a fast, easy way to find fun info about your date of birth. Or check 'em out before heading to a friend's birthday party for a nice, long list of birthday-themed conversation starters.

• What song was #1? Do you know which song topped the charts the day you were born? A feature on This Day In Music will tell you! Just enter your date of birth (or any other day you're curious about) and the finder will tell you what songs were on the top of the US, UK, and Australian charts. (My birthday "theme song" is "Don't You Want Me?" by Human League.) There's even one-click access to buy a framed LP (or CD, if you or the intended recipient is searching for a chart-topper after 1992).
