Birthday: Bob Geldof

Born in 1951 in Dublin, Ireland, Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof first came to fame as the front man for the 70's new wave band The Boomtown Rats. The group had a string of hits in the U.K. including the song "I Don't Like Mondays." In 1982 Geldof took on the role of Pink in the movie Pink Floyd's: The Wall.

In 1984 Geldof organized over 40 British singers and musicians to record the song "Do They Know It's Christmas." The group, known as Band Aid, raised money to help prevent starvation in Africa. The project led to an even big endeavor, Live Aid. Geldof organized the all-day, two-continent charity concert with great success.

Geldof is divorced but has three children. He continues to make music as well as raise awareness of the plight of the African people.

If Bob Geldof died today he would be worth 49 points for Dave.

Birthday: Charlton Heston

Charlton 'Chuck' Heston is known as one of the greatest and most politically controversial actors of the 20th century. Although he began his career on broadway and in television, he made a name for himself in the epic mega-productions of the 1950's. His career took off with a role in The Greatest Show on Earth and skyrocketed with The Ten Commandments. He won his first oscar in 1959 for Ben-Hur.

In the late 1960's Heston turned to science fiction. He starred in Plant of the Apes and followed that with roles in The Omega Man and Soylent Green.

In the 1980's Heston began taking a greater interest in politics. He was named co-chairman of President Reagan's Task Force on the Arts and Humanities. He served on the National Council for the Arts and served four terms as President of the National Rifle Association of America.

Charlton has been married to his wife Lydia for 51 years. They have two children and two grandchildren. He has recently overcome prostate cancer and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

If Charlton Heston was shot down with a machine gun today, he would be worth 19 points for Greg.

Birthday: Tommy Lee

Born Thomas Lee Bass in 1962 in Athens Greece, Lee received his first drumset at the age of four. Chasing dreams of rock stardom, Lee dropped out of high school to play on the Sunset Strip. Upon meeting bassist Nikki Sixx the two created a band named Motley Crue. The band ended up being one of the prominent 'hair' bands of the 1980's.

In 1995, long after the band faded, Lee made headlines by marrying sex symbol Pamela Anderson. Their infamous sex tape may have been the first major video transported throughout the internet.

Lee has recently released a solo album to coincide with a reality TV show, Tommy Lee Goes to College.

If Tommy Lee died today he would be worth 57 points for Jim.
