Prince William rides out to celebrate Grandmother Queen (ii)'s birthday

"

Prince William the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, is riding through central London on horseback as part of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday celebration.The newlywed prince is taking part in Saturday's "Trooping the Colour", a procession held every year to mark the monarch's birthday.The Queen Elizabeth turned 85-years old in April, but the public party for the monarch's birthday is held on a Saturday in June when the weather is better. The custom dates from 1748.William is wearing same red Irish Guards tunic with a blue sash that he wore at his April 29 wedding to Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey.

Miranda Cosgrove turns 18

                                                             
The "iCarly" star celebrates her 18th birthday on Saturday (May 14), but don't expect her to have a mega list of demands on her special day.

"I'm excited," she tells E! News of becoming an adult. "I get to vote. And I can drive. I could already do that when I was 16, but I'm going to actually do it now."

When it comes to a set of wheels, Cosgrove is refreshingly similar to millions of teenage girls across the country -- aside from having a thing for VWs, she admits to caring more about the color of her future ride than a logo.

"I wanted a Volkswagen bug for a long time," she explains. "Jerry who plays Spencer on 'iCarly,' actually has this really cute little BMW. So I was thinking about maybe something like that. I'm more into like color than like the type of car and stuff. I don't know much about cars so I'm just more into picking the right color."

Okay, so a car isn't exactly a minor purchase... but how many teen superstars hope for a new bicycle on the anniversary of their birth? 

"This is going to sound really lame, but I like bike riding," she says. "I tandem bike ride a lot with my friend so I would like a new tandem bike. That would be awesome."

Happy Birthday, Miranda. We hope all your bike riding dreams come true.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIA !!!
