Jenny McCarthy wants 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 on the 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, hearing Corey Feldman belt out "Welcome to the Jungle," MTV "Rob and Big" reality show star Christopher "Big Black" Boykin channeling Michael Jackson with "Billie Jean," and Daisy de la Hoya of VH1's "Daisy of Love" doing a rendition of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock n Roll." Actress by day and DJ by night Taryn Manning filled in the gaps by spinning tunes, and "Real Housewives of Orange County" Alexis Bellino and 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-singer Nikola 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."
