LOS ANGELES, CA (May 23, 2011)—Debby Ryan celebrated her 18th birthday at her favorite
local record store in Burbank, California – Backside Records, on Sunday evening, May 22, 2011.
The invite-only event, held to benefit Music Saves Lives, an organization which bridges music and

Thorne, Cameron Monaghan, Doug Brochu & Chris Brochu, Nathan Kress, China McLain, and
more.
Debby shares, “My 18th birthday party was absolutely unreal. With the changes and growth I’ve
been through the last few years, I’m so blessed to have celebrated this milestone birthday with my
brother Chase, my family, and my friends with whom I’ve shared it all. Jam sessions, fun photos, tie
dying, dancing around, scarfing cake balls, we brought all my favorite things to do to my favorite
record store, all in one night. It was a killer celebration that I’ll never forget.”
Guests at the party enjoyed a photo booth provided by Music Saves Lives to capture picture perfect
moments from the evening, indoor tie dying by iLoveToCreate with Tulip Tie Dye, cup cakes and
sweets provided by Sweet Harts and Lil Rae Cakes, food by Baja Fresh, and beverages from IZZE.
They also danced the night away with live music, as guests from the party were able to go to the
loft balcony in the record store and jam with instruments [Debby even took to the stage, drumming,
singing, and harmonizing for a few songs] as Roshon Fegan DJ’ed in between the live music
breaks.
In addition, Skittles provided a custom made electric guitar for Debby, which was put on display
at the party. Debby wore two custom made dresses by BTFL People, designed by Brandon Ho
and Artemio Ganaden, one was co-designed by Debby herself. At the end of the evening, guests
were given gift bags [provided by Make Love Not Trash] that were stuffed with goodies, including

Jenny McCarthywants everyone to know that donating blood is the coolest thing to hit Hollywood this year; that's why she showed up early to the Music Saves Lives 2011 Awareness Campaign Kick-Off Party Presented by Monster on Wednesday night, May 11, held at the hot new speakeasy joint called the Next Door Lounge. She looked positively demure in a sparkly gray top and black leggings, keeping her famous assets under wraps for the casual weeknight bash, as she schmoozed with Music Saves Lives founder Russel Hornbeek and scribbled her name on a Fender guitar.
That autograph-filled guitar will be auctioned off in the near future onthe charity's website, which also encourages everyone to not only give blood freely and often, but to also register as a bone-marrow donor. No one was actually giving blood at the party, but plenty of sweat and tears were flowing as partygoers sucked down Monster-mixed-with-Pearl-Vodka cocktails and rocked out to a different kind of karaoke, this one featuring a live band and celebrity singers.
That meant a surreal kind of night, hearingCorey Feldmanbelt out "Welcome to the Jungle," MTV "Rob and Big" reality show star Christopher "Big Black" Boykin channelingMichael Jacksonwith "Billie Jean," and Daisy de la Hoya of VH1's "Daisy of Love" doing a rendition ofJoan Jett's "I Love Rock n Roll." Actress by day and DJ by nightTaryn Manningfilled in the gaps by spinning tunes, and"Real Housewives of Orange County"Alexis Bellinoand her hubby snuggled in a corner.
Bellino,who recently revealed her ongoing struggle with eating disorders, didn't seem to warm up to the Wahoo Fish Taco truck that was on duty at the curb of the Highland Avenue club, feeding revelers their famed, slightly spicy, Mexican bites, but plenty of other partygoers lined up to sample their wares.
One up-and-comer who didn't warble nor eat was songwriter-turned-singerNikola Rachelle Bedingfield, Natasha's little sister, who explained why. "I'm going into the recording studio tomorrow to work on my new album," she revealed, "so I have to save my voice for that. But I wanted to come out and support this great cause."
