Happy 30th Birthday to tennis stud Feliciano Lopez (above, in one of his more demure photos), and Happy Birthday to two out music stars. Dan Sells from The Feeling is 31, and Chuck Panozzo is 64. Chuck was the bass player and one of the founders of Styx, and he came out and announced he was living with HIV in 2001. He left the group for a few years, but now occasionally performs with his old bandmates. Okay, time to name your top five Styx songs! Here are mine: 5. "Don't Let It End," 4."Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)," 3. "Mr. Roboto," 2. "The Best Of Times," and my #1 is a bit of a cheat. It's actually the solo hit from Styx lead singer Dennis DeYoung. "Desert Moon" is one of the greatest lost gems of the 80's, and #12 on the Snicks Top 100 Of The 80's.
Tomorrow is the 2nd Annual A Day With HIV In America.

Thankfully, we managed to avoid seeing that, although turns out there might have been something interesting about it after all.
We'll let our Kathy explain the whole thing in this interview we did with her at the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour in L.A.
Btw, after that red carpet, I watched Kathy pose for pictures with Maggie, her mom, and while it's Kathy who is the big star, Kathy spent the whole time taking care of her mother and making sure...
