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

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."

DKMS and Music Saves Lives are reaching out worldwide to help in registering youth for the marrow program.
The DKMS mission is to save lives by recruiting bone marrow donors for leukemia patients. More than 22,000 DKMS donors have helped save lives by donating their bone marrow. DKMS is the largest bone marrow donor center in the world with nearly 2.5 million registered donors. However, there are still thousands of patients who cannot find their donor match. DKMS will continue to recruit bone marrow donors until every patient gets a second chance at life.
Music Saves Lives has been a huge source for reaching youth and educating about the importance of registering for the marrow program. Many musicians have found that MSL is a great resource to help educate fans about this life saving message.
With the resent leukemia diagnosis of Nargel from the band Behemoth and the resent loss of a close friend of the band Lamb of God the metal music world has been hit hard.
