Melissa Etheridge is gearing up to celebrate the first birthday of the twins she shares with life partner Tammy Lynn Michaels. Daughter Johnnie and son Miller are in for a great time when they mark the milestone Oct. 17. How will they celebrate? “Just a little cake and a bunch of friends,” Melissa, 46, tells me at the Recording Academy Honors event. “It’s their first-year birthday. They’re not going to remember. It’s more for us.”
