Jennette McCurdy (iCarly) celebrates 18th birthday w/ special party

Capitol Records Nashville threw their newest star, Jennette McCurdy of Nickelodeon's iCarly, a party to celebrate her 18th birthday.

Jennette invited local kids from Bellevue Middle School (one of the hardest hit areas) who were affected and displaced by Nashville's recent historic flood to come and enjoy a night of fun, food and games.

The party, which was held in downtown Nashville Monday, June 21, included a live DJ, video games, smoothie and ice cream stations, a special birthday cake in the shape of the number 18 and a star-studded birthday video featuring Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, McCurdy's iCarly cast-mates and many others.

A representative from Ugly Doll, a favorite of Jennette's, was on hand to present her with a life size Ugly Doll of her own.

In addition to the Bellevue kids, country music artists and their children also joined in on the fun of meeting the singer and actress.

Martina McBride's daughter Emma was in attendance as was Vince Gill and Amy Grant's daughter Corrina. Phil Vassar's daughters Presley and Haley also came and Jamie O'Neal brought her daughter Aliyah.

In lieu of gifts, Jennette asked guests to bring a new pair of socks which were donated after the party to the local flood victims through Hands On Nashville to the local Community Resource Center. At the end of the party there was a balloon drop and children got to take away goody bags as they left that were filled with donated Ugly dolls and keychains, Pop Star and iCarly Magazines, Journey shoes giftcards, Phillips Toy Mart giftcards, digital music giftcards and M&M Mars candy.

Last summer Jennette signed to Capitol Nashville on her 17th Birthday and has been writing for and recording her debut album, The Story Of My Life, in Nashville over the last year.

Produced by Paul Worley (Lady Antebellum), Jennette co-wrote nine of the 11 tracks on the album including the current single "Not That Far Away" which she co-penned with Rachel Proctor and Blair Daly.

The single is currently being played on country radio across the country including WKLB/Boston, WUBL/Atlanta, KEEY, Minneapolis/KKBQ/Houston and WMZQ/ Washington, DC.

iCarly, currently in production on its third season, airs regularly on Saturday at 8pm (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.
