In one of my radio interviews I was asked about some of the fabulous fortysomethings I quote in my book, and if I knew which fabulous female celebrities are turning forty in 2009. The list is quite something:

Jennifer Aniston

Renee Zellwegger

Cate Blanchett

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Gwen Stefani

Ellen Pompeo

Angie Everhart

Anne Heche

Christy Turlington

Jennifer Ehle

One of my all-time favourite tennis champions, Steffi Graf, also turns 40 this year, as does the ice skating queen, Nancy Kerrigan. 

From a fellow fortysomething, I wish them all a very happy birthday this year, and welcome them to the best decade of their lives!
