HOT MUMMAS | 29 celebrities who turn or have turned 36 in 2014

Today I turned 36. I don't mind, but I'm suddenly more aware lately of looking old, especially working in an office with a lot of twenty-somethings.

So in honour of the downward slide to 40, I've compiled a gallery of celebrities who were also born in 1978. I've tried to find pics that are unlikely to have been airbrushed and where they aren't wearing a shedload of make-up, but in the spirit of fairness I've also avoided those hideous no make-up shots.

I was originally going to make this just women but there are some hot guys my age out there so why not share the love? Though I admit I haven't been as discriminating with the men's photos and chose ones where they look as hot as possible. Hey, it is my birthday!
