Step around the poop, if you can

Brian Wilson turns 64 today.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney found out we'll still need him, still feed him when he turned 64 on Sunday. Now, it's Beach Boy co-founder Brian Wilson who reaches the magic number today. But then Brian never made fun of senior citizens as the Beatles did -- at least in the same way.

Also celebrating birthdays today -- already legendary movie director Robert Rodriguez ("El Mariachi," "From Dusk to Dawn," "Spy Kids" and "Sin City") is 38. Nicole Kidman is 39. John Goodman is 54. And -- holy smoke! -- actor Danny Aiello is 73!

Today also marks the official start of the Victorian Era -- the day a young Queen Victoria took the throne of England in 1837. She died in 1901 after a more-than-60-year reign. And some say her era has never really ended (Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson notwithstanding).
