Peep the cover of Aubrey’s issue of Icon Magazine, which hits the Internet on July 1. She looks gorg! Sidenote: Icon is not available in stores as it’s digital mag, so it’ll be no time before we have her feature.

“I think that dogs have this beautiful innocence,” Aubrey O’Day, actress, singer and former Danity Kane member, tells OK! in this week’s issue. “I think that they wake up every morning and they are excited about life and their day. And when you aren’t excited, they make you feel it, too.”

Which is why Aubrey treasures her teacup Maltese, Ginger, and her Pomeranian, Mary Ann.

She says she colors their hair to reflect the changes in their lives — using a vet-approved dye.

“My dogs are my family,” she says. “I can 100 percent, forever  say I love them unconditionally.”

A talented singer with a stunning figure, Aubrey O’Day is best known for starring in—and then being kicked out of—Danity Kane on Making The Band, MTV’s Diddy-hosted now-defunct reality show. A few years removed from that, the 26-year-old hopes to soon be known for her own reality show—All About Aubrey, which debuts March 7 on Oxygen—and for her die-hard support of the Boston Celtics.

SLAM: How’d you get into hoops?
AO: I got really into it, like kind of obsessed, about five to six years ago. I was always aware of the rivalry that existed between Boston and L.A., but I never really cared to root for the home team and I always found myself gravitating toward Boston. And a good friend of mine is a huge Boston fan, and I ended up becoming obsessed with Boston.

MORE BELOW THE CUT….

Maxim conducted this quick informal interview with Aubrey whilst she was in New York for Fashion Week. Watch the video above to see Maxim take a drink with Miss O’Day.

Aubrey O’Day has a particularly contemporary problem: Having been transformed into an actual entertainer by a reality show, and then having transformed herself into a tabloid celebrity, she’s attempting to relaunch herself as an entertainer on another reality show.

The attempt is chronicled in Oxygen’s new series “All About Aubrey,” which is a cut above most similar celebrity vanity productions, but just barely. O’Day’s hunger for fame is so obvious that it comes across as guileless. And she reveals enough vulnerability and talent that viewers will find themselves rooting for her, probably despite themselves.

O’Day was a member of the girl group Danity Kane, which was put together by Sean “Diddy” Combs for the MTV reality show “Making the Band” and then, defying all expectations, scored two No. 1 albums. Conforming to all expectations, the girls began bickering, and O’Day was kicked out of the group by Combs on TV.

In the premiere, airing tonight at 10, O’Day says that after a few years of paparazzi-driven fame for being famous, she has decided to work seriously on her solo career. “I’m coming for another 15 minutes,” she says. She introduces us to her manager, her vocal coach, her choreographer, her stylist and her hair stylist, usually with a list of their other famous clients.

Her manager, Johnny Wright, tells her that for a few years, it seemed that she was just trying to get her name in the media. O’Day responds that for a while “celebrity was paying and artistry wasn’t.” No one points out to her that this is still largely true.

As is customary in this type of show, O’Day has recently acquired a live-in hanger-on, a friend and former magazine editor named Krystal. Krystal immediately grates on O’Day’s best friend, Stephanie, but fortunately, this doesn’t overwhelm the show.

The friends’ dialogue is sometimes so awkwardly delivered that, in combination with the visuals of overly made-up girls in flashy clothes and bad lighting, the show starts to feel like a pornographic film. In the tease for upcoming episodes, we see Krystal and Aubrey taking a picture of themselves naked in a sauna.

One of the drawbacks of celebrity life, evidently, is that your friends won’t lie when you ask them if you need to lose weight. Krystal says O’Day could stand to lose 5 or 10 pounds. Her choreographer, Gil Duldulao, says, “Wow, honey, you’re looking a little hefty there,” and says she could lose 10 or 15.

O’Day’s resistance to improving her diet is usually played for comedy, but in a rather moving moment, Gil makes her wash off her makeup and stand in front of a mirror in her bra. Though she actually looks prettier and is only overweight by Hollywood standards, she starts to cry.

“It’s not easy to have to be anorexic all the time,” she says, adding that the skinny girl from Danity Kane is “not who I am anymore.”

But we’re not really getting a serious look at the sorrows of stardom. Much of the action is the usual celebreality filler.

O’Day goes on a bad double date with Stephanie, who nags her for always looking for bad boys. In the most contrived moment, O’Day tells Krystal, who is acting as her assistant in lieu of rent, that she wants to preserve her male dog’s sperm.

When the collection kit arrives, the women discuss the procedure graphically and then enlist O’Day’s hair stylist, Cesar, to lend a hand. The scene leaves something to the imagination, but in this case, that makes it worse.

Despite this new low in reality TV, viewers will probably finish “All About Aubrey” liking O’Day a little more than they did before. It’s nice to think that if artistry doesn’t work out for her, she’ll always have celebrity to fall back on.

With all of the controversy being printed and published in recent media regarding Aubrey O’Day, we set out to put the record straight by going straight to the source: we consulted O’Day herself.

Throughout our entire interview with her, O’Day was completely raw and organic with what she had to say, from her contention with Sean “Diddy” Combs to her soon-to-premier reality TV show and her up-coming solo album. Here’s the bare of it all:

MORE BELOW THE CUT….

As we revealed previously, Aubrey is featured on the cover of the May issue of Seattle’s DLIST Magazine. Now we have obtained an exclusive first HQ look at the cover shot by Josh Ryan.

I was at Hollister yesterday shopping around for some new stuff yesterday and this gorgeous thing catch my eye on the magazine shelves. Aubrey on Paper Magazine’s 25 year anniversary….I was so mad that they didn’t have it at Barnes and Noble and was planning to buy it somewhere online, but thank goodness I found it! Hollister is good for something folks! It’s only a one page spread, but considering there are 25 other people featured, it’s good enough. Click the image above to view the HQ scans.

“So don’t talk about shaving my pussy or anything like that,” Aubrey O’Day playfully cautions after I tell her the recorder is running, although it doesn’t seem likely that our conversation would change much whether the recorder is on or off. The singer and sex symbol is about as censored as her recent Playboy centerfold. No imagination required.

A curvy Californian with cerulean-colored eyes, O’Day is happily outspoken about everything and anything from Obama to AIDS to anal sex. “I’m very comfortable with my sexuality,” she says. “I grew up with parents that were practically nudists. Nothing was taboo. Nothing was embarrassing. Nothing was off topic or against my family’s values.” Ironically, as a 21-year-old vying for recognition on P. Diddy’s long-running MTV reality show Making the Band 3, O’Day came across as being a little green: “I think I need to get a little more diva in me. I hope someone can teach me that,” she said in one episode. And someone must have, because fast-forward four years later, following her debut in the ludicrously named band Danity Kane (courtesy of Diddy), she has morphed into a sex-bomb bad girl, become friends with Jenna Jameson, talked openly about her love of YouPorn and posed for Complex — solo, dripping in champagne and wearing little to no clothes.

But not long after reaching the height of her Danity Kane celebrity, Perez Hilton started calling her Skanky O’Day and after two platinum records with the five-member girl group, O’Day was fired on live television with these none-too-kind parting words from Diddy: “It will get dark and lonely.” Now, almost a year later, O’Day is trying to put those words behind her and move forward, although there’s still a hint of sadness in her voice when she talks about her whirlwind experience with Making the Band and the group. “Honestly the hardest thing I’ve had to go through is that breakup with Diddy — fighting off the haters, fighting off the perception of me being ‘Skanky O’Day’ who broke up Danity Kane.”

Despite those Diddy difficulties, O’Day has already managed to achieve many of her dreams, including her biggest dream of all: Broadway. At the height of the Danity Kane drama last summer she was cast as Amber Von Tussle in the Broadway production of Hairspray. And she’s in the process of developing herself into a mini-mogul. Currently filming her own reality show, for which she also serves as executive producer, O’Day is also designing a clothing line, Heart on My Sleeve, and has just invented an animal-friendly pink hair dye for her white teacup Maltese, Ginger. As it turns out, being in a band was not O’Day’s first or even second love. “Having an album was never my dream. I wanted to be on stage. My dream was actually to be on Broadway, which I have done.” This month she’ll be back on stage in Las Vegas, starring in Peepshow, a burlesque-meets-Broadway revue produced by Hairspray choreographer Jerry Mitchell.

“When people ask, ‘Are you moving forward with a solo career?’ Absolutely. I’m singing, dancing and acting my ass off more than I ever did in Danity Kane and so, to me, my solo career is taking off.” And, as a recent returning guest on Making the Band 4: The Final Chapter, O’Day confronted her old boss for the first time since her public flogging and shared news of her upcoming projects. Diddy, ever the opportunist, replied, “You’re going to have to cut me in on that. We’re going to have work something out.” Round two might just go to O’Day.

Issue Date: October 2008
Photographer/Artist: Miko Lim
Location and Date: Beatrice Inn, New York, NY. July 9, 2008
Why Was This Cover Nominated?
Aubrey O’Day, of the pop group Danity Kane, posed for Japanese sensation Miko Lim. The photographs were so sexy that the editors were forced to cover the more sensitive aspects for the newsstand. As you can see, we found a way to do it that resonates with the magazine’s young savvy readership. The resulting success (coupled with Aubrey’s outgoing nature) was in fact a contributing factor to Aubrey being asked to leave Danity Kane mere weeks after the issue debuted.

VOTE NOW!

To celebrate their 25 year anniversary, Paper Magazine did 5 different cover special issues featuring five of today’s hottest 25 year old starlets, singers and t.v personals on each of their 5 different covers….whew try saying that fast 5 times in a row.

We’re sure plenty of people are comparing Aubrey O’Day’s and Heidi Montag’s recent Playboy pictorials — and O’Day is one of them. Earlier this year, O’Day bared it all for the magazine, and Montag was recently featured in a less revealing pictorial. O’Day said she feels the “Hills” star could have taken a few more chances when she posed for the magazine.

But, before O’Day told MTV News what she really thought of the photos, she complimented Montag’s pictorial. “I think Heidi is a beautiful girl and it’s an honor to be a part of an iconic lineup of women,” she said. “I’m happy that she took the opportunity. She looked beautiful.”

However, O’Day didn’t have to think twice when asked whose pictorial she thinks is better. “I’d have to go with mine,” she said. “There’s been so much speculation and competition between the two MTV girls, and I had heard that Spencer made a statement about it, but, I don’t know, I think mine’s still the winner.” The former Danity Kane singer, who is currently prepping to star in “Peepshow”in Las Vegas, also has some advice for Montag. “I mean, every woman has their own way of expressing themselves,” she said. “I think that my Playboy photos express very strongly my nature as a woman. They were classy, they depicted the parts of my body that I love, and I felt completely beautiful and secure and empowered by them.”

O’Day, who said she would “absolutely” pose for the magazine again, added that she thinks that if Heidi has plans to do so — as she has hinted — she needs to step it up for her next pictorial. “So whatever her journey is, I’d say … to just take that risk, really do something kind of … maybe do something she’s a little scared to do, so she overcomes a fear and feels really proud,” she advised Heidi. “You know, you can take a million pretty pictures, every celebrity girl has taken a million pretty pictures, but it’s like: Which pictures are really going to stand out and be iconic, and which pictures are just pretty pictures that are here today, gone tomorrow?”

What do you guys think?

Aubrey seriously considered taking over Tila Tequila’s bisexual dating show A Shot at Love after she was kicked out of the band – because she wanted to find out which sex she preferred dating.

The sexy star admits she went for an interview with TV executives about the show, where men and women fight for an unlucky in love celebrity’s affections, the day after news broke of her departure from Danity Kane in 2008. And she seriously considered signing up for the show. She tells gay magazine Curve, “(I said) ‘I’m not in a relationship and I don’t know (if I) prefer one sex over the other at this point in my life’, and so, for me, I thought it was perfect.”

But O’Day turned the job down and instead started developing her own reality show, which will air soon. She admits she’s still confused about her sexuality. O’Day adds, “I just don’t know. I haven’t fallen in love with the person that has taken my heart and made me want to be a better person every day. “I could be happy marrying a woman. I could be happy marrying a man… I have enjoyed the time that I’ve spent with a woman, but, you know, not everything was there and it wasn’t any one thing in particular, just that person. I’ve had amazing relationships with men but not everything was there. There was something missing. “That’s another reason why I thought long and hard about A Shot At Love, because that would right away… put me as the television bisexual… I don’t even know that that is the case.” O’Day admits she might even be partial to dating a transgender person after one recent encounter: “I fell in love with this woman. She was so amazing and my g-hub (gay friend) was like, ‘That (used to be) a man. She’s post-op…’ I was like, ‘Wow, I would never have known. And I would never have cared.’”

The September of Curve magazine should be available soon!

What’s the secret to Aubrey O’Day’s enduring success? Apparently, she owes it all to low expectations.

The former Danity Kane songbird and current solo artist (who has her own reality show in the works) tells Curve magazine in its September issue, “I’m one of the most underestimated people in the industry. People don’t expect much from me. They expect me to be a hot mess, they expect me to say all the wrong things and wear the wrong outfits. That’s how I like it though. I think it’s really easy to move through the industry as a woman when you’re underestimated.”

Interesting technique. But then, as O’Day tells it, she marches to the beat of her own drummer—and tough luck if you don’t like it.

“I don’t do anything for other people’s enjoyment. I think I’ve made that pretty clear,” O’Day asserts. “You know sometimes when you make bold moves you look back [and think], Maybe I just should have been a part of the machine instead of rebelling. I still say that about old relationships though, too. But at the end of the day you just have to do…the best you can for who you are in that moment.”

Aubrey O’Day: Living in the moment and making the dream a reality, no matter what the haters say. It’s a philosophy we can all learn a little something from.
