Editor Bonnie Fuller turns 53 today. David Carr of the New York Times is turning 53, too. Real estate mogul Howard Lorber is 61. Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Bobby Kennedy and ex-wife of Andrew Cuomo, is 50. Pink turns 30. David Arquette is turning 38. Singer Aimee Mann is 49. Swimsuit model and former E! host Brooke Burke is 38. Ex-NBA star Latrell Sprewell turns 39. Food writer Amanda Hesser is 38. Former Congressman Mark Foley turns 55. And '90s teen heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas turns 28 today.

It's been an incredibly turbulent year for the Manhattan real estate market, to say the least. Are things looking up? Is there more pain still to come? For a little insight, we interrupted a very busy Howard Lorber, the chairman and co-owner of the real estate giant Prudential Douglas Elliman and the chairman of the board of Nathan's Famous. We didn't pester Lorber with any questions about hot dogs, though. Just real estate.

Dolly Lenz set records in 2006 when she sold an astounding $748 million worth of real estate. (Or so she claims, at least.) Max Abelson files a report in this week's Observer about Dolly's much rockier 2008-09 and the decision to drop the Blackberry-obsessed broker from three very high-profile new projects in recent months. But Dolly's recent stumbles won't prevent her from stepping up to the podium at the Pierre tomorrow night when Prudential Douglas Elliman's hands out its "Broker of the Year" award: "Just as it's been since Dottie Herman and Howard Lorber bought the company in 2003, and as it will be until the day onyx bathrooms and heated-floor kitchens all cease to exist, the award will go to Dolly Lenz."

Bonnie Fuller isn't employed at the moment, which means she should have plenty of time to celebrate her birthday today: the tabloid queen is 52. Maybe she can share a birthday cake with the New York Times' David Carr: He turns 52 today, too. Others celebrating: Real estate mogul Howard Lorber is 60. Food writer Amanda Hesser is 37. Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Bobby Kennedy and ex-wife of Andrew Cuomo, is 49. Singer/songwriter Aimee Mann is 48. David Arquette is 37. Pink is 29. Swimsuit model and former E! host Brooke Burke is 37. And '90s teen heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas turns 27.

The top real estate broker in the solar system, Prudential Douglas Elliman's Dolly Lenz, may be leaving her job—and not of her own accord, either! That's the scuttlebutt Rush & Molloy relay this morning, saying that Lenz and Elliman's co-owner, her onetime BFF Howard Lorber, are now on the outs: they conspicuously avoided each other at Elliman's intra-company awards ceremony two weeks ago and they don't even share grotesquely overpriced dinners at Cipriani anymore. Harsh! The News gossips called the hyperbole-prone Lenz for comment and she denied everything, of course, and also took the opportunity to clarify that she owns"in excess of nine" Blackberrys, not a measly five. We await the inevitable "Hello, Dolly" headlines when she and her ever-expanding sack of Blackberrys resurface at Corcoran.

With Dottie Herman, Howard Lorber is the co-owner and chairman of Prudential Douglas Elliman, the largest residential real estate agency in New York. He's also the chairman of the hot dog conglomerate Nathan's Famous, and the CEO of the Vector Group, the tobacco company founded by Bennett LeBow.
