It's quite the busy day of birthdays in the soap opera world. Let's get right to the wishes!
All My Children star David Canary turns 70. Here are a few thumbnails of the actor:
The Young and the Restless actor Christian LeBlanc is 50:
All My Children stud muffin Cameron Mathison turns 38:
He may seem tireless and ageless, but Regis Philbin will retire one day.
And when "Live with Regis & Kelly" needs to be renamed, Cameron Mathison has made it clear he wants the gig:
"That would be the ultimate job for me, yeah," the soap star told The New York Daily News. "Every day you're talking to new celebrities. It's also nice and high-profile, clearly, if it's not the biggest morning show."
The All My Children star has already made his desire known.
"Michael Gelman knows that I want it. There's a ton of people that know I want it. My agent knows."
Cameron Mathison is the busiest man on daytime television. Aside from starring on All My Children, of course, the actor is hosting a new reality TV show and handing out the Daytime Emmys this Friday night.
Somehow, he found time to talk with TV Guide Canada. Here are excerpts:
TV Guide: Hows your family dealing with your insane workload? Does your wife remember what you look like?
Cameron Mathison: I hear shes doing well and if you talk to my wife, Nelson, please send her my best! [Laughs] My family still sees me; I havent sacrificed that part of my life and never will. Am I golfing, or working out as much? No. Ive only given up my personal time.
TV Guide: Youre hosting the Emmys with Sherri Shepherd this Friday. What can we expect? Id kill for you to pull a Billy Crystal or Conan OBrien and spoof the genre.
Cameron Mathison: Lots of comedy
[and thats all Ill say]. You cant co-host with Sherri and not be funny. The Emmys are pulling a Golden Globes with dinner tables and lots of booze! Itll add a lot of spontaneity, a lot of humour and fun to the event.
TV Guide: Will it be awkward to host the ABC telecast when your network only received two major acting nominations?
Cameron Mathison: I have a feeling that had something to do with us cutting the show down to two hours from three, but I am so busy right now that I cant focus on all the politics this year. Im living in the moment presently because thats the only way I can survive this next month.
It's a question thousands of women have dreamed of being asked, especially when Cameron Mathison is the man doing the asking: Your Place or Mine?
In this case, though, we're talking about the new game show on TLC. It debuts this Sunday.
''It's an interesting take on a game show,'' the All My Children star said. ''Two families are playing against each other in a trivia-based game. It's also got a reality show feel to it because round by round the families will win these rooms that they're playing for, and we'll cut to a field where a crew is waiting to get word, and they'll redo the family's room in real time as we're watching. It adds a really kind of cool makeover feel to it.
In later rounds, if the other family wins, they could ask us to go into the first family's house, take out that living room and put it in their house. So there's a lot of new aspects to it that you've never seen before on game shows.''
Cameron Mathison is always in demand.
The amiable All My Children star has signed on for yet another hosting gig, this one close to the hearts of all soap fans: he'll be co-hosting the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards with Sherri Shepherd of The View.
This is Mathison's first time hosting the Emmys, but he's got plenty of experience with the microphone. The star has hosted SOAPnet's I Wanna Be a Soap Star for four seasons and he's been tapped to host TLC's new game show Your Place or Mine, as well.
The Daytime Emmys will be broadcast live from the Kodak Theatre on June 20 on ABC.
Cameron Mathison doesn't think he's busy enough, apparently.
The All My Children star will host a new new trivia-based game show called Your Place or Mine? on TLC. The series will pit two families against each other in attempts to either win new furnished rooms for their home, or steal rooms from their competitors.
The show will debut on Sunday, June 8. Here's a photo montage of Mathison to get you in the mood for it. Click on the thumbnails for larger versions of each picture...
We all know how great of a body Cameron Mathison possesses. But that doesn't mean the All My Children hunk doesn't make time for the occasional treat.
Check him out now, making a serious donut run:

Cameron Mathison rang the closing bell for NASDAQ in Times Square last night. The gorgeous woman alongside this All My Children hunk?
Donald Trump's wife, Melania. Wow.
Having blogged about Kelly Monaco nude in Playboy, it's only fair to give our female viewers a chance to ogle.
Here's the cover shot of All My Children hunk Cameron Mathison on the cover of Playgirl. We know the issue is from 1999. But better late, and handsome, than never, right?
