Happy Birthday, Vanessa Williams!

She's smart, beautiful and oh-so-talented, but what we love most about Vanessa Williams is her grace and resilience. And she sure does make 47 look fah-bulous! Like you, we all clutched our pearls when word came that Williams (as Wilhelmina Slater) and her "Ugly Betty" cohorts would be signing off this season. As per her usual, we had a feeling she might have something else up her sleeve...and she does. Tomorrow, the mom of four and star of stage, television, music and film will return to her theater roots for the new Broadway production, "Sondheim on Sondheim," which runs through June. What a birthday gift! Here's to a prosperous, personal New Year, Vanessa. Keep doing your thing.
