A heck of a day for birthdays today, especially for hotties with Tom Brady's baby mama, a sexy Spanish lady, Jess Alba and a hottie from back in the day. We've also got a lady who may have written a famous book, an old Republican, a big chinned comic, a football coach and a troublemaking small forward. But how about the best twofer of all-time with John Daly and Too Short in '66? I'd like to be at that birthday shindig. Here's Too Short's "The Ghetto."
