Horror Hunk Joe Zaso (above with our own Brian Juergens) is 41, a belated Happy Birthday to RuPaul, who turned 51 yesterday, Linda Evans is 69, Christian Siriano is 26, Sean Young is 52, and Duncan Sheik is 42. Duncan won two Tony Awards for writing the music to Spring Awakening, and he managed to breath life into the barely conscious pop music corpse of the 90's.
