HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MADONNA, 60. The American singer and actress (pictured), the best-selling female recording artist in history, can cook only one thing, according to her brother Christopher — Rice Krispie cakes. Graham Norton’s rescue dog is named ‘Madge’ after her, but the chat show host was worried this might prevent him ever interviewing her (it didn’t). JOHN CHALLIS, 76. The Bristol-born actor, who played used car dealer Boycie in Only fools And Horses and spin- off The Green Green Grass, is a patron of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. Challis himself fell for a Del Boy-style deal that was too good to be true — an aloe vera land scheme in Portugal, on which he lost a five-figure inheritance from his parents.
