Monday nights premiere of All About Aubrey was Oxygen’s most-watched docu-series launch in the network’s history in the key demographics, reported by Hollywood Reporter. Aubrey drew highs in total viewers (724,000) and both the 18-49 (557,000) and 18-34 (450,000) demos. The series also set records in women 18-49 (423,000) and women 18-34 (337,000) demos.

Check out this exclusive sneak peek of tonight’s episode of All About Aubrey! we see O’Day reunited with vocal coach Doc Holliday, who fans will remember from her first reality-TV stint on MTV’s “Making the Band 3″ with Diddy. Like he did on that show, Holiday has no problem keeping it real, in this case, giving Aubrey some rather constructive criticism after a vocal lesson. “Not bad, not bad at all. Look, you’ve got a nice voice, Aubrey, but you haven’t been working it out — it’s a muscle,” Holliday says. “You know how I am, I’m not gonna screw around with you. If you’re willing to do the work, I’m willing to commit to it, OK? Are you willing to do the work?”

“It’s a really great story for anyone that is struggling or has gone through periods of time where they didn’t know that they would make it through or they lost hope that the things that they really wanted would ever happen for them. And it really shows how important believing in yourself is,” O’Day told us about the show.

Though “All About Aubrey” will features new songs from O’Day like “Automatic” and “Goodbye Heartbreaker,” we wanted to know when to expect a new album.

“You’ll have to watch the show and wait and see for any further musical info because the show is about me fighting to get my music in front of all of the labels for potentially a record deal,” she teased.

I am ecstatic that Aubrey is working with Doc again. I’ve always liked him better than Anhrak or whatever his name was.

Oxygen is counting on sisterhood being powerful by reaching out to sorority members to promote the launch of its new show All About Aubrey.

The new series, premiering March 7, features singer Aubrey O’Day, whose most famous television moment came when she was fired by Diddy during an episode of Making the Band.

O’Day was a member of Alpha Chi Omega and Oxygen has set up viewing parties at sorority houses at colleges including Ohio State, Syracuse, University of Illinois, UCLA, and the University of Georgia. Oxygen will provide the sororities with All About Aubrey t-shirts and a karaoke machine. Karaoke contests will follow the premiere, and Oxygen is encouraging students to post pictures on the All About Aubrey Facebook page. Participating sororities have a chance to win a $500 gift card.

“Aubrey O’Day embodies the Live Out Loud brand and what better way to share her contagious spirit than getting right to the source – the Greek sorority community,” said Elissa Harman, VP for consumer marketing at Oxygen. “Our fans love a good comeback story, and we are thrilled to have the support of sorority sisters throughout the country to ring in the first step in her professional and personal journey.”

The sorority outreach is part of Oxygen’s push for the show, which includes on-air, online, print and online advertising, plus social marketing.

All About Aubrey follows O’Day’s professional and private life as she tries to make her comeback in the music industry.

La Quinta High School 2001 graduate Aubrey O’Day has sung in a platinum-selling girl band and performed on Broadway.

Next she’ll star in “All About Aubrey,” a reality show premiering Monday on Oxygen.

The seeds of stardom were sown when she was a Coachella Valley teenager: She acted in school plays, performed with the school dance team and even dressed the part of a future MTV diva.

“She sometimes pushed the envelope on dress code,” said LQHS math teacher Dan O’Grady.

He was assistant principal while O’Day was a student and said he remembers her as “very smart and very opinionated.”

O’Day launched into stardom when producer Sean “Diddy” Combs selected her to be a member of the all-girl group Danity Kane, which he created over two seasons of the MTV reality show “Making the Band 3.”

He used the same show as a vehicle to fire her from Danity Kane just two years after the the group released its first album, criticizing O’Day’s clothes, hair and conduct.

She went on to play Amber Von Tussle in “Hairspray” on Broadway and is plotting a comeback to the pop music world via her new reality show.

The La Quinta Sun caught up with O’Day this week and asked her about the new show, growing up in the desert and a new solo album.

QUESTION: How is having your own reality show different from co-starring with band mates and P. Diddy in “Making the Band 3?”

ANSWER: I don’t have to share any of my camera time! It’s definitely more in-depth and personal. I share a lot of vulnerability, my ups, my downs, my issues that I have in my family life with my friends. You never really can hide behind someone else’s story line.

QUESTION: What sets this show apart?

It’s honest and real. Nowadays, reality’s just so scripted and it just feels so phony. … I really wanted it to be a real reality show, like it was when I was on “Making the Band.”

QUESTION: How much input did you have in how you are portrayed on the show?

In a real reality show you’re just portrayed how you really are. … That doesn’t always mean making me comfortable and making me look good. … I put a team together that I trusted. … I really trusted everyone to tell my story in a way that can be inspiring for other people.

QUESTION: Will we see the desert?

I couldn’t have a reality show and not bring the cameras back to my hometown. We go back to Palm Springs. We went back and visited (La Quinta High School) on my show.

QUESTION: What about your high school experience influences what you do today?

I did theater a lot and dance. I was on the dance team and the cheerleading team, but I loved the dance team more.

QUESTION: How did childhood in the desert shape who you are today?

I loved growing up in the desert. Beautiful weather. It’s a small town, but it’s not too small. You don’t feel suffocated, but you also don’t feel super exposed to any negative environments. The only thing that sucks about the desert is the summertime. … After that it’s basically the perfect place.

QUESTION: What’s the status of your solo album?

On the show you see me writing and recording. You see a series of performances and a final showcase … to secure a record deal.

Aubrey O’Day, the former lead singer of girl group Danity Kane, is famous for her sassy stage presence, but when it comes to her two dogs, she exudes a seriously maternal vibe.

The reality star is back with a new series called All About Aubrey, but as Mom to Ginger and Marryann, O’Day makes their clothes by hand, takes them with her everywhere she can, posts Tweets for them on their separate Twitter accounts and dyes their coats (while they’re asleep, using a safe, all-natural product).

“These are my beautiful children,” O’Day told PEOPLEPets.com during a visit to our studio. “Ginger in pink over here, and Marryann over here in the purple. These are their signature colors.”

O’Day insists on non-gender biased names — Marryann is a male dog, Ginger is female — and during the shoot, the two pooches got extra-friendly. “Just a little doggie porn makeout session,” O’Day said as she watched her two pups kissing and nuzzling each other. “Kim Kardashian’s porno better watch out — it’s all about Marryann and Ginger!”

Plan to see more action from Ginger and Marryann on the reality show — perhaps with a few more makeout sessions! All About Aubrey premieres on Oxygen on March 7.

Personally, I think Ginger does it doggy way better than Kim!

Working out can be a pain in the ass, so how does Aubrey stay inspired to keep working out to maintain her body?

“Music is my entire inspiration to work out,” Aubrey tells Idolator.com, whose new reality show All About Aubrey premieres March 7 on Oxygen. “I find it very hard to work out without it! All my music has great lyrical content, great beats, and it all helps me fade away into other thoughts… Which is key when you’re doing something as tedious and repetitive as running or circuit training.” Check out some of the high-energy tune Aubrey likes to listen to while working out.

Aubrey O’Day – “Automatic”
Kimberly Cole – “Cherry Pop”
Lauryn Hill – “Doo Wop (That Thing)”
Janet Jackson – “Escapade”
Jay-Z ft. Linkin Park – “99 Problems” Remix
Sleigh Bells – “Riot Rhythm”
M.I.A. – “Jimmy”
Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Can’t Stop”
Cee Lo Green – “Fuck You”
Nelly Furtado – “Promiscuous Girl”

It has been over 2 years since Danity Kane broke apart and Aubrey O’Day is finally ready to let go of the past. The Pop singer is using her reality show, ‘All About Aubrey’, and upcoming album to give her fans a look at the artist behind all of the glamour.

However, before Aubrey takes the next step in her career, she has decided to address recent accusations made by her former bandmate Dawn Richard.

In an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice, Aubrey spoke out against Dawn’s claim that the other members of Danity Kane didn’t love making music the way that she did, citing it as a personal source of anger and frustration within the group.

“I think that her comment is a reflection of her negativity. I wish her and everyone else the best and I would definitely have to say that everybody in our group loved Danity Kane. There wasn’t any one person that loved it more than another” Aubrey explained. ”Everyone fought the group’s battles as well as their own battles and it affected everyone in a very emotional way. I don’t think it’s anyone else’s right to decide who felt the pain of that greater than everyone else.”

Still, Aubrey has found a way to vent about the problems of the past through her music. “You’re going to get an amazing ballad called ‘Goodbye Heartbreak’ on the show and it’s about letting go of being angry or negative or anything that brought you 10 steps back” she revealed about the song which she gave her fans a glimpse of on a Ustream session last year. ”It came at a very emotional time during filming and it was exactly what my heart was feeling in that moment. You’re going to be able to see me write, record and perform it live.”

Tune into the premiere of ‘All About Aubrey’ at 10pm ET on Oxygen to learn more about Aubrey’s new album and the struggles she encounters as she forges her musical comeback.

It’s been three years and that girl is still playing victim. *Yawn*, you got anymore sob stories? Let Danity Kane rest in peace puhhleaseee.

Aubrey O’Day was a headlining member of Diddy and “Making the Band”-assisted girl group Danity Kane before she was unceremoniously fired from the group on national television. With MTV’s television cameras having caught her rise to fame, it seems a natural fit that she’d open her life to a camera crew again for “All About Aubrey,” the new Oxygen show which chronicles her musical comeback on her own terms.

Or is it? After her “Making the Band” experience, O’Day escaped to Broadway to star on “Hairspray” and later to Vegas for their sexy musical “Peepshow.” The last we’d heard of Aubrey were an MTV News interview and a few blogs following the split. She says getting back into reality TV was the last thing on her mind.

“Well I think after being fired in Making the Band and Diddy and Danity Kane kind of went under, I felt like that was the last thing I wanted to do,” Aubrey O’Day told CNS. “I had a lot of like anger and frustration toward what I had gone through and a lot of like not understanding the way the business is and things like that that I hadn’t like reached a comfortable position with at that point.”

Now, it’s been three years since Danity Kane released their second and final platinum album, “Welcome to the Dollhouse” and it took Aubrey over a year on stage to start contemplating her comeback to the pop music scene.

She teamed up with famed music manager Johnny Wright, responsible for overseeing the ultra-successful careers of top pop acts like the Jonas Brothers, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears. She also hooked up with some of Danity Kane’s songwriters and producers, but this time going it completely alone.

Aubrey says she knows a second shot at fame is even harder than the first, and she then realized that this journey would be yet another chapter in her life that would make for great television.

“You know, we’ve been accustomed to seeing so many girl groups rise to fame and falling in love with them and then however they break up, get dismantled, whatever it may be, it kind of just goes away, disappears, you never hear from them again or maybe you hear from the one that stood out,” Aubrey told us.

“But you never really understand why or even how hard it is to have success a second time potentially on your own. And I really felt like that was a good story to tell and I think Oxygen felt like I was a good person to tell it because of how honest I am with my low moments as well as my highs.”

Aubrey says “Making the Band” was real as far as reality television goes, and she wanted to get back to that same completely unscripted style for “All About Aubrey.” The cameras followed her 24 hours a day and she says she was never handed any outlines or scripts to chronicle her journey as she gets back into the recording studio 4 girls lighter.

“Everything is honest to God the truth of what was happening at that point in my life,” Aubrey says. “And I feel like really blessed and like it really helped a lot to be able to get out all the things that had been like weighing heavy on my heart for so long.”

Fans will be able to see “All About Aubrey” when the show premieres on Oxygen Monday, March 7th at 10:00pm ET.

Aubrey O’Day has seen her share of weight fluctuations. But the former Danity Kane singer, who gets the reality treatment in Oxygen’s All About Aubrey, is able to keep off excess pounds simply by saying “no” to soda and fast food.

One motivator? Feeling nauseous after a run, and being told she just worked off her burger.

“When you run and you realize how hard it is and how much it takes to get through long runs, you don’t want to eat badly,” she tells me. “I ran one time and almost threw up at the end of it, and my trainer was like ‘you just worked off the hamburger that you had last night.’ [laughs] That made me realize if he told me ‘let’s run off that hamburger,’ and he made me run for as many calories … he did a calorie-counter, so he made me run for as many miles as it would take to burn that calories that were in whatever I ate.”

She adds, “It was so taxing. I was ready to throw up at the end of it, and I realized then that I don’t want to do this to my body anymore, because I’ve been there and I realize how much it takes to get out of it. I don’t even know how long we were technically running, but in the end I wanted to throw up. It was a while. I could get through an entire Rated R spin class, and not work off a bad meal. Spin’s pretty rough.”

For Aubrey, who typically runs between 3-10 miles per day, working out is her coping mechanism.

“I enjoy it because I spend an hour before thinking what I’ve gone through, what I’m thinking about, what is stressing me out, and then I program a playlist with music that fits into whatever I’m going through, and I’ll run until the playlist is done,” she says. “Throughout all of the running, I’m more having a therapy session inside my head than worrying about the running, so I actually get through it.”

Because she’s serious about her workouts, Aubrey is cautious about what she puts in her mouth. Still, she won’t succumb to fad diets.

“When you eat a lot, you need to workout a little more. When you’re not eating as much, you can workout a little less. I’m observant about how much I’m putting in my body versus how much I’ve worked out in that day. I believe that’s the only serious consistent way of slimming your figure down because the fad diets, the pills, the drinks, the only eating certain things … that stuff is all complete BS – it’s not really helping your body. I’m so against that.”

“Sometimes the food diets work – where you’re only eating vegetables or fruits or whatever, but who can consistently eat like that forever? You can’t. Whenever you do those diets for a week or two weeks or whatever, right when you get off them, you gain all the weight right back, and I’ve done every diet under the sun from that cayenne pepper lemonade to the cheese to the fruits. I have lost weight on all of it, but you gain it right back the second you’re done because no one can consistently eat like that. Even the ones where you eat baked chicken and broccoli – you can’t eat baked chicken and broccoli every day for the rest of your life. Nobody’s consistently going to stay on that unless they want to be miserable. For me, I say everything in moderation. Eat what you like – enjoy what you like. I used to have a trainer that told me you can go home and have ice cream and popsicles, but that means we have to work extra hard right now.”

Thankfully, soda will not creep back into her life. Now the only carbonated beverages she allows herself are Just Squeeze and energy drinks.

“I cut soda out because it’s unhealthy,” she says. “It consistently will leave you in a bad place with your weight. Soda is so hard to kick. I could drink soda night and day, but it’s so incredibly bad for you. And diet soda is not so great. I first went down to diet sodas, and then I cut it out altogether.”

We missed last season’s show by The Blonds, but we heard that the larger-than-life costumes proved to be everyone’s favorite experience of Fashion Week. So it seemed only fitting that on our way into this year’s event on Wednesday at Milk Studios that the first thing we saw in the elevator queue was the naked derriere of the equally larger-than-life Amanda Lepore. Her naked booty was followed by her naked everything else — yes, everything else from the waist down — ­because she was wearing her very sheerest red lingerie. In fact, Lepore’s toes were nearly the only appendage we didn’t get intimately familiar with during that fifteen-second wait, thanks to her glittery closed-toe pumps. Because going full peep-toe with your mesh genital drape would’ve really pushed that envelope straight into the paper shredder.

Once we actually alighted into the venue, we almost ran smack into the now-hirsute Nigel Barker, who looked dapper in a pin-striped suit, but still seemed as though he was wearing an extremely hairy beret. (Please go back to bald, Nigel.) In fact, it was a game of Six Degrees of Tyra Banks up in there: Nigel was joined by his ANTM cohorts J Alexander and Jay Manuel; one of last cycle’s guest judges, Patricia Field, swanned in wearing splattered torn pants and a bomber jacket that appeared to have her name scrawled in gold cursive in the back. Then there was Eve, a cycle four guest star, wearing a black dress and a seriously fierce (and potentially stabby) spiky gold cummerbund. Next to her sat singer Keri Hilson, whose corset top had giant gems affixed to it that rose in two dangerous-looking spikes toward her face. Hilson has not yet been Touched by a Tyra, but her career is still young so we expect she’ll get sucked into the vortex soon enough.

But the most eye-catching sighting for us was singer and reality-TV vixen Aubrey O’Day, clad in an enormous McQueen houndstooth shirt with a red bow affixed, which made her look a bit like a festive Valentine’s Day basket. “I wanted to be Blonds-inspired — ultra-big, fabulous, a little drag queen-y,” Aubrey said. “This outer exterior you see is one big façade. I was born a drag queen.” Well, we love a drag queen; at any given moment, almost as a rule, they are at least 80 percent more fabulous than we are. But Aubrey said it’s not always easy to dress her inner RuPaul. “My boobs never fit with anything, so if I ever find anything I fit into, I’m excited,” she said. “My boobs are gigantic, so [boob tape] never works. There’s always some slipping, popping, pinching. It’s the worst.”

Good thing that runway portion of the night provided the most fun we’ve had this season. We started our Fashion Week with the garish Richie Rich Variety Hour, and The Blonds felt like what Richie Rich wanted to be, but will never achieve. The guests were more glamorous, the spectacle itself was both well-run and artistically satisfying, and the clothes were a delightful visual feast: glittering wigs in gold, red, green, and blue; fringe and satin in every color; a model wearing a bejeweled rendition of what a Chinese dragon would look like if it were a Rockettes costume; and a slim-fitting pantsuit made entirely of googly eyes. And that’s not even all of it — we simultaneously wanted the show to continue forever, and felt compelled to apologize to it for not being sufficiently sparkly ourselves. O’Day also endorsed the “go big or go home” philosophy, both at this show and Fashion Week in general. “It’s when you finally get to be outrageous and it’s okay,” she told us. With that attitude, she was certainly in the right place.

Aubrey O’Day recently began tweeting about the filming of her upcoming Oxygen reality show. Never one to shy away from the attention or the cameras of reality TV, the former Danity Kane singer is ready to return to the small screen, and this time, the long-simmering show is all about her. “Well, Oxygen’s motto is living out loud, so I would say you’re going to see Aubrey O’Day living out loud,” she told MTV News at the Hard Rock Hollywood grand opening. “I don’t think I’ve not done that, but obviously my voice is a bit outspoken, and I really don’t play by anyone’s rules, so I think you’ll see a lot of that rebellious tendency that I have.”

In addition to the good ol’ O’Day that we’ve all grown to love, the show will also focus on the singer as she tries to launch her solo music career in the wake of the drama-filled Danity Kane split. “But also [you'll] get to see what it’s really like to be me and the honest truth of what I’m really like as well as on the business side,” she explained. “I’m recording my first solo album, so it’s following the entire recording process.”

She noted that while she’s gone solo, there will be some familiar faces on the show: “I’m working again with my manager Johnny Wright, who was on ‘Making The Band.’ I’m back with Gil [Duldulao], who is Janet Jackson’s choreographer, who also did Danity Kane … so I’m back with the producers that I worked with on all of Danity Kane’s music. So, we’re kind of bringing the whole fabulousness of the music industry over to Oxygen, but also giving fabulous reality.”

How are you guys feeling about Aubrey working with Johnny Wright again? Johnny Wright was the girls manager way back when the band was first formed, but soon after quit via a text message. It’s great that she is working with a guy that helped built the careers of N’SYNC, Backstreet Boys, NKOTB, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, just to name a few…but quitting via a text message? Sketchy.

Aubrey is currently in the studio recording an intro for her show that is set to debut 1st quarter of next year. Here is what she tweeted:

In the studio recording my show intro…I’m doin it big for my fans…love you guys!

So I know I haven’t been tending to the site lately because news is kind of slow in Aubrey’s world right now and I’ve just been enjoying my summer a lot. But for those that missed her UStream two days ago, here is the low down on what went down (because I was there to witness it). She was in the studio with Adonis with a navy blue knee length dress without hair extensions. She looked absolutely stunning, but she looked a bit tired from the bags seen under her eyes (or the light that shining directly above her caused that illusion.) Here are some key points in the UStream:

• Producer Adonis who has worked with Danity Kane on their first and second album will be producing much of the album.
• “The Aubrey O’Day Project” is an unofficial show name that Oxygen gave the show, Aubrey said it will most likely be something else.
• She starts filming for her show in a couple of weeks and will be filming for 3 months continuously.
• The show will air on Oxygen in the first quarter of the new year.
• When a fan asked about a Danity Kane reunion, Aubrey said to watch the show to find out and that she would reveal all the secrets.
  
• She played us a snippet of her song “Physical” (snippets that we’ve already heard on Youtube) and she said that song will become a single.
• The third installment of “Heart of My Sleeve” will be coming out soon.
• She loves watching the orange Guidos/Guidettes on Jersey Shore.
• She said she still keeps in touch with Shannon, D – (her home girl), and Aundrea, whom was singing in her band that night. Aubrey later texted Drea and Drea told Aubrey to say hi to the fans for her.
• Aubrey played snippets of her song “Automatic Bubba” if I heard correct. But for sure Automatic something. The track as very pop-electro and upbeat.
  
• Played another track that had an unknown title.
• Fans asked Aubrey to do the Dougie and she did with Adonis. So cute.
• When asked what she thought of Dirty Money, she said she wishes them the best and that she gives prop to everyone trying to make it in this tough industry.
• Instead of saying “That’s Hot” she said to say “That’s Sex”.
• She then asked fans what they wanted to see on the show. The majority said MUSIC AND STUDIO.
• A fan suggested that she should prank call Dawn and keep saying “Hello Good Morning” LOOOOOL.
• When fans asked about Dawn, Aubrey kept it hushed.
• Last but not least, Adonis played us the instrumental of a track entitled “Hitchhiker” which they would record that night. And most recently, Aubrey tweeted that song was SEX and mention that she recorded a hit, but not saying which track

And that is all folks!

During the stream, Aubrey gave me three shout outs, one to Iowa, one to Texas, and she also answered one of my questions about when promotions for the show will start, and she said after she is finished filming.

So news has been super slow recently, but there are a few little snippets of info on what is going on in Aubrey’s life.

She will soon be appearing on Russell Simmons‘ show (which she is seen filming for above) at some point in the near future, although her role in the show is unknown!

She also recently appeared in an article discussing the premiere of the second season of hit MTV show Jersey Shore (read the full article here).

It is also apparent from her tweets that Aubrey is still filming her reality show, rehearsing with Gil and hitting the studio hard! News will become a lot more frequent the closer we get to the premiere date of The Aubrey O’Day Project and the release date of her album, so hopefully we will have something much more exciting to share with you very soon!

Finally, I have posted the clip of Aubrey’s Silent Library appearance, after the break.

MORE BELOW THE CUT….

“Successful black men are extinct. We’re important.”

Please. Drop the delusions of grandeur, gents. We see right through you! This paper-thin layer of unjustifiable ‘swagger’ and pseudo-confidence is simply masquerading the vulnerability and self-doubt of the modern day man. The subtext is clear… spineless men of all creeds are waving the proverbial white flag of defeat. Unable to cope with the demands of a new class of empowered, strong-willed and fiercely independent women, they’ve resorted to projecting their insecurities on those that, god forbid, expect them to live up to their potential.

Let’s be clear. This is not a race issue. It’s yet another twist on the age-old enigma that is gender relationships. Despite what you may have read, I’m a White girl that couldn’t cook to save her life, treats no man like a king and certainly doesn’t obey dictatorial male ego, even if it means my job… but I certainly can cater to deserving men who are secure enough to take on the challenge of a strong woman. We can be loud, opinionated, and rebellious, and we make no apologies for it. It’s not a Black thing, or a White thing. It’s a women thing, and trust me when I say that the sooner you men come to realize it, the better off you’ll be.

Hollow diatribes like this, reeking of machismo and senseless boasting, are nothing new. Just a transparent attempt to silence the collective female voice. It’s telling that what the author likes best about his Ivy League educated girlfriend is that she “do all the shit that I say.” She’s apparently a “smart girl, too,” but no surprise that that he ranks that trait a distant second behind obedience.

And, sidebar… What’s it mean to “stand by your man”? As far as I’ve witnessed from thinkers such as this, its simply code for wanting their women to sit idly by as they lie and cheat their way through the relationship. Please me, but don’t bitch when I’m pleasing your sister and best friend, or blatantly lying to your face about the weekend’s captivating conquests! I suppose it’s our fault for not ‘standing by you’? Forgiveness is one thing. Asking women to turn a blind eye, and “bow down,” is quite another.

No woman wants to be a man’s pawn. Relationships are meant to be a joint venture, not a form of employment if only fitting the appropriate ‘wifey’ credentials. I’d shudder to think that all men harbor the views championed by the Thug named Slim. I’m waiting for a knight in shining armor to prove me wrong, but after reading an article like this… once again, I won’t hold my breath.

A new fad in China has zoo owners using dye and haircuts to make their dogs look like tigers and panda bears. Fox 29’s Steve Keeley showed some of the pet pictures on “Good Day” and laid part of the blame on singer Aubrey O’Day! The dogs are specially groomed to look like exotic animals. One zoo in the eastern province of Henan took some stray dogs, and made them into the exotic animals using paint. But other examples of dogs being painted as pandas have been seen in China in the past. Back in the U.S.A., Keeley also found people on the Internet who have dyed their dogs with exotic colors. Keeley said O’Day is one person who sets a bad example by dyeing her dog.

To “Shanelly”, you wait and see! Aubrey is coming back. And I haven’t heard anything about Aubrey dying a bunch of her friend’s dogs, have you?

Some women ask if they have anything in their teeth before taking a photo. Others ask how their hair or makeup looks. Aubrey O’Day? She had a different concern before we posed for a photo at Enclave (220 W. Chicago) in the early hours of Sunday.

“Are my [breasts] showing?” asked O’Day.

Considering she was wearing a white corset that looked like it was about to give on top, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were. But I said what I normally say in these sort of awkward situations: Nothing.

The ex-Danity Kane singer adjusted her corset anyway – the same one she wore during her “Peepshow” burlesque performance on stage later that night – and smiled for the camera. This photo, unlike her nude spread in the March 2009 issue of Playboy, turned out to be SFW.

When O’Day isn’t performing in the Las Vegas-based “Peepshow,” she’s been recording a solo album. It’ll be her first album since Diddy announced that he kicked her out of Danity Kane on the season finale of “Making The Band 4” in Oct. 2008.

“It’s almost done,” O’Day said. “The sound is like big pop club-bangers. It’s got an urban edge. I tried to infuse a lot of dance and techno. There’s a little bit of rock in some of the songs. … It’s like a lot of the music I made with Danity Kane. I’m working with a lot of the same producers.”

O’Day wouldn’t say which record company is behind the album or who will make guest appearances on it. Apparently another project she’s working on, her own reality TV show, prevents her from revealing those details.

As for the network that will air her reality show, she claimed she couldn’t reveal that either. But she did say it’ll likely premiere at the end of the year, which is when she’s also hoping to release her album.

“I’m filming right now for it,” O’Day said. “It’s a docu-soap about my life. It’s going to follow me recording my album, my other business ventures and my crazy life. I don’t hold anything back and I don’t tell any lies. I think a lot of reality shows nowadays are more about creating a fantasy versus giving a reality. “I’m giving the reality.”

At least we know she is with a record label and that her show will air now! But another 7 months? DAMN!

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. It’s a shame they didn’t shoot a new photo for the cover but I have always loved this photo! We will post scans of the spread when they become available! Click the image above to view the full size.

We’re getting more and more information each day! Aubrey has been heading to the studio a lot for the past several weeks and just recently about recording a new song!

Studio all day and all night! I’m recording this dope record tonight called ‘Dirty Mind’. So excited!

Can’t wait!
