Happy 30th Birthday, Kaley Cuoco!

Just last week,  Kaley Cuoco got her tattoo tribute to Ryan Sweeting covered up and chalked the regrettable ink up to “#under30mistakes.” It’s a good thing the Big Bang Theory star took advantage of the opportunity to use that excuse, because as of today she can no longer blame her bad decisions on being in her twenties! Yes, it’s Kaley’s 30th birthday, and while some folks dread hitting the big 3-0, something tells us Kaley is happy to being saying goodbye to 29. The year started promisingly enough, with Kaley signing a $90 million contract for three more seasons of TBBT. As she prepared to close out her twenties, the girl was married, fabulously wealthy and ready to start a family. In September, however, she shocked fans by announcing that she had filed for divorce from Ryan Sweeting after less than two years of marriage.  To make matters worse, the split was reportedly not an amicable one, as Kaley was forced to kick Ryan to the curb as a result of his prescription pill addiction and increasingly erratic behavior. Sources say that in the weeks before their split, Sweeting disappeared for four days without explanation.  Sounds like Kaley made the right call by pulling the plug on the relationship.

And Ms. Cuoco certainly has a lot to be optimistic about.  So join us in wishing Kaley the happiest of birthdays! Turning 30 may not be easy, but we imagine having $90 million in the bank certainly to soften the blow!

Joshua Shintani Dies; Shallow Hal Star was 32

Joshua Shintani, an actor who made his one movie role into a very memorable one, died last Wednesday of complications from pneumonia. He was 32 years old. Shintani appeared opposite Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow (and Jason Alexander, as pictured above) in the 2001 comedy Shallow Hal. He made a cameo in the film as a ukulele player who played the song “Never Forget Where I’m From,” having been discovered by Peter Farrelly. The director was on vacation in Hawaii and the spotted the high school senior strumming his instrument outside a public library. He hired Shintani on the spot and Shallow Hal became his first – and ultimately, only – big screen credit. According to TMZ, Joshua’s mother took him to the emergency room in Kauai last week. There, it was discovered that he was battling an advanced case of pneumonia. We send our thoughts and prayers to Shintani’s friends, family members and loved ones.
