Nick Jonas turns 18 today. That means he can add being able to legally vote to his list of accomplishments (which already includes hit tours, hit records, hit TV shows and hit movies). And while we have yet to hear what group present Joe and Kevin get young Nick (Joe recently got a super-cool spy watch for his 21st), it seems that Nick isn't much of a birthday guy to begin with anyway.

"The big 18! You know birthdays for me, I always feel like they're kind of ridiculous," he dished to MTV News at the "Camp Rock 2" premiere weeks before the big day. "But it's fun. I'm excited."

Just because one is immortal, it doesn't mean she shouldn't celebrate another year of life. To her chagrin, we're going to point out that today is Bella Swan's 23rd birthday. Happy birthday, Bella!

It's no secret that Bella and her posse of supernatural buds have become quite the pop-culture juggernaut over the past few years, thanks to the success of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight Saga" book series and the three (soon-to-be five!) film adaptations. In honor of Bella's special day, and the impact she's made on what we read and watch, we're looking back at the pop-culture highlights from the year Miss Swan was born: 1987.

The past month has been chock-full of important dates for our favorite vampire family, the Cullens. First, was Edward and Bella's wedding anniversary on August 13. Our calendar is already marked for September 13 when we'll be sure to wish a very happy birthday to Bella, but today is all about her half-vampire, half-human daughter, Miss Renesmee Cullen, who turns four years old—sorta.

Since Stephenie Meyer never quite explained the mathematics behind Renesmee's rapid aging, we'll guess that she's somewhere between the mental and physical capacities of a 10 to 14-year-old by now (remember, she'll reach full maturity by 7 years old, but forever look 17). We'd feel bad offering her a birthday present she's too old for or can't use yet, so instead, we decided to gift her with four aspects of her character we're most excited to see in both installments of "Breaking Dawn"!

Evan Rachel WoodA very happy birthday to actress Evan Rachel Wood, who turns 23 today! We at Hollywood Crush have been fans of the young actress since her early role in 1998's "Practical Magic," through her 2003 breakout alongside Nikki Reed in "Thirteen," and in her passionate turn in 2008's "The Wrestler." Of all her roles, though, we have loved none half as much as her portrayal of Queen Sophie-Ann Leclerq on HBO's hit show, "True Blood."

Like most of the TV series' characters, Sophie-Ann has been having a bit of a rough time this season. The finale is less than a week away, and we're sure there'll be some resolution of her storyline by then, but we hope that it doesn't end with a stake through her heart. For Evan's birthday, here's our wishlist of things that we hope do (and don't!) happen to allow her to stay around on "True Blood" for a bit longer. Alan Ball, take notes!

We'll be honest, we don't usually need much provocation to write a story (or post a dreamy, dreamy picture) of "Star Trek" leading man Chris Pine, but today is an extra-special day seeing as it's the hottie's 30th birthday! So let's say it all together: Happy birthday, Chris!

The only small rain cloud threatening this otherwise sunny day is the realization I had a few minutes ago that we have to wait another TWO YEARS until Chris takes back the helm of the USS Enterprise as Captain James T. Kirk in the "Star Trek" sequel. If you want to mark the 2012 calendar you have yet to buy, the official release is June 29, 2012.

Unlike his alter ego Eric Northman, "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgård does, in fact, age. The hunky actor turns 34 today, and while we'd prefer to celebrate by taking him to a fancy dinner at the Red Lobster and sharing a romantic bubble bath, well, that's just not in the cards for this year. So instead, we will honor the auspicious day of Mr. Skarsgård's birth by counting the ways (34 in all!) that we love, adore and admire him. And if you're reading this, Alex, our offer of suds and seafood still stands if you don't have other plans.

Demi LovatoBy Lauren Strupp

Let’s all take a minute to wish a fabulous birthday to one Demi Lovato! The Disney starlet is finally turning 18 today, and to help her celebrate we’re going to reflect on her career thus far. She really hasn’t done much in her 18 years on this planet at all, right? Wrong! Let’s take a look back...

For starters, she’s spending the summer on a 45-city tour with the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers! That’s a pretty good way to spend your big day, if you don’t mind us saying so!

You can’t always get what you want… But if you try sometimes, you just might find… You get… an Omega watch?

The above seems to be true for Joe Jonas, who instead of getting a dog for his 21st birthday — like he originally wanted — received a James Bond-inspired Omega watch. Thankfully, the “JONAS L.A.” star didn’t seem the least bit bummed.

Tammin SursokPut on your flashiest sunglasses and wish "Pretty Little Liars" actress Tammin Sursok a happy birthday today! The Aussie beauty is 27, and we hope she's celebrating in style — like, say, shopping for some new shades.

Since "PLL" doesn't start shooting again until September, Tammin's eyes are probably feeling a little sensitive toward the sun. She constantly sports the finest in blindness-concealing eyewear as her "PLL" alter-ego, Jenna, so we hope she's taking the proper precautions in protecting her peepers from UV rays.

Anna KendrickYou may not have a starring role in your upcoming film, Anna Kendrick, but you do get a chance to star in what is sure to the most beloved film of the summer. Can "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" top "Inception" in reviews and the box office? Only time will tell.

If that alone isn't enough of a great 25th birthday present, you can add to that the fact that in one quarter of a decade you've managed to accomplish more than most actors — film or stage — have accomplished in their entire career.
