World Series MVP Hideki Matsui celebrated the Yankees win at today's tickertape parade. And while we have no idea if plans to keep the party going this evening, he probably should know that no less than 100 lovely ladies are going to be waiting for him on West 33rd Street tonight, including "Suki" (right) who happens to be fluent in Japanese. Oh, and Hideki's wife is invited, too, naturally.
Blow a kiss in Adriana Lima's direction. The supermodel turns 28 today. Others celebrating: Yankees star Hideki Matsui is turning 35. Deputy mayor Kevin Sheekey is turning 43. David Rockefeller is 94. Sports Marv Albert is turning 68. Real estate broker Michele Kleier is 66. Hunter College president Jennifer Raab turns 53. Kendra Wilkinson is turning 24. And George H. W. Bush celebrates his 85th birthday today. Weekend birthdays—including those of the Olsen twins and Donald Trump—after the jump.

Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui is turning 34 today and in honor of the momentous occasion, Go Go Curry is giving away three free soup toppings (pickled relish! pickled shallots!) all day long. Also celebrating today: Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima is turning 27. Marv Albert is 67. Deputy mayor Kevin Sheekey turns 42. High-end real estate agent Michele Kleier is 65.

A former outfielder for New York Yankees, Matsui was the first Japanese power hitter to successfully make the jump to American baseball. However, after the Yankees cut him loose, he's played on the Angels and Athletics.
