The Associated Press published its weekly celebrity birthday roundup covering Sept. 6 through Sept. 12, 2026. The list includes actors, musicians, comedians, directors, television personalities and other entertainment figures. Highlighted names include Emmy Rossum, who turns 40 on Sept. 12, and Harry Connick Jr., who turns 59 on Sept. 11. Other listed birthdays include Idris Elba, Pink, Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant, Jennifer Hudson, Ludacris, Colin Firth, Misty Copeland and Wiz Khalifa. Veteran performers including Jo Anne Worley, Roger Waters, Linda Gray and Brian De Palma also appear. The supplied text matches the AP report in substance, with no material discrepancy identified in the reproduced list. This is a calendar-style entertainment feature rather than breaking news, and no controversy or major announcement is attached to the roundup. The birthdays themselves occur during the specified week. The item primarily provides entertainment-calendar information for U.S. audiences and has limited broader public impact.
