Boy, time flies! It seems like only yesterday Ronnie DeVoe was makin’ his debut with New Edition as a young teenager. Now, he’s 50-years-old! To celebrate his big day, he threw a star-studded birthday bash over the weekend. Of course, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins were in the building but they weren’t the only people there to help Ronnie celebrate. Everyone you could possibly think of was in the building and Ronnie even had a few surprise performances.
