Aubrey O’Day Is An Inspiration To Women Everywhere: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
AUBREY O’DAY’S CANDID AND EMOTIONAL INTERVIEW WITH BLOGXILLA
Earlier this week I talked to our home girl Aubrey O’Day. Once the bad girl ofDiddy’s Making The Band Show, she will now be the starring in her own reality show on The Oxygen Network. According to MTV an executive at Oxygen said that the show will likely resonate with fans who’ve watched O’Day’s career rise and fall over the past six years.
Singer Aubrey O’Day is returning to reality TV, landing her own show on Oxygen.The former lead vocalist of all-girl band Danity Kane was discovered in 2004 as part of MTV’s series “Making the Band.” Producer and judge Sean Combs famously fired O’Day during an episode of the show two years ago.
Now, Oxygen’s “The Aubrey O’Day Project” will chronicle her attempt to make a comeback in the music industry while working with a demanding team of industry professionals. “Young women have watched the ups and downs of Aubrey through the years, and they continue to cheer her on,” said Amy Introcaso-Davis, senior vp original programming and development at Oxygen. “We’re excited to deliver her story as she battles the issues that resonate with our audience, from self-doubt and body image to an intense desire for success and redemption.”
Since leaving Danity Kane, O’Day has appeared in musicals on Broadway and in Las Vegas. “Aubrey O’Day” is produced by Ish Entertainment with Michael Hirschorn, Madison Merritt and Wendy Roth as executive producers. No airdate or episode count has been determined.
Oxygen continues to expand its reality efforts, last week picking up Season 2 of “Bad Girls Club” spinoff “Love Games,” which became the network’s most-watched freshman season of a series among its target 18-34 demographic.
Check out this newly leaked track of Danity Kane entitled Stop Time produced by Danja during the WTTDH era. Check out the song and tell us what you think. Personally, I’m glad the song didn’t make the final cut…a little bit to slowed pace for me.
And sorry for the lack of updates lately…nothing much has been going on with Ms. Aubrey and I’ve been really busy enjoying summer! Hopefully Aubrey goes full force soon..I’ll be waiting.
Here is the full episode of “When I was 17″ featuring Aubrey. They aired some unseen footage of Aubrey when she was 17 and the stories she tells are actually really interesting. I will try to get a download link for those that can’t watch MTV soon. Enjoy!
Update: For those outside of the US that are unable to watch on MTV.com, Aubrey’s part of the episode and a way to trick the MTV site (for international fans) are after the jump!
This scene, deleted from Aubrey’s recent episode of “When I Was 17” features Aubrey talking about failing gym class. Check it out above, and for those that didn’t see it on TV, the full episode should be up soon!
“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.
Aubrey O’Day Thought Sex Was ‘Disgusting’ In High School, On ‘When I Was 17′
These days, Aubrey O’Day is known as a sexy pop singer who, among other things, has appeared in a Vegas stage show nearly nude. But back in high school, the Playboy model thought sex was kind of gross. On this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” O’Day admits that having sex was not her number-one goal in life.
I just added four MQ shots of the Maxim photoshoot that Aubrey did last year with Alisa Connan. Thanks to our friends over at BlondeMafia.org for sending us these images! Click the thumbnails above to view the set.
Added pictures of Aubrey performing a burlesque show at Mansion night club in Miami on May 21, 2010. Click the thumbnails above to view the set.
Aubrey has uploaded pictures recently of the samples of her dog clothing line. All the samples seem really cute and I can imagine this line selling really well! Click the image links above to head on over to the gallery page where I’ve uploaded the new sample images!
Update: Aubrey posted another sample whilst I was writing this post, she’s clearly working hard on this line! The newest image has also been added to the gallery!
Hey guys! There hasn’t been much news on Aubrey right now, all we know is that she is still in the studio recording! But here is a great video that a fan made of Aubrey’s vocal range. Until next time…enjoy!
I’ve added a new photo shoot of Aubrey done by Traver Rains. This has to be one of my favorite shoot of hers thus far. She looks amazing and the theme/set is really creative. Such a shame more shots weren’t released. Click the image above to view the shoot.
Just added some first pictures of Aubrey performing at the Enclave last night in Chicago! No video has surface yet and no information as to what song she performed. But she looks fantastic! If you went to the event last night and have some pictures or information, feel free to send it to aubreyodaydotus@gmail.com.
I updated the album with some more photos from the performance. There are no videos as of now, but we do know that she did NOT PERFORM PHYSICAL. However she did perform Lady Marmalade, Heartbreaker, and Damaged. Click the thumbnails above to view the newest additions!
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.”
Here are some pictures of Aubrey hanging out with the Douches of the Real World in Chicago. She is in Chi Town to perform at the Enclave tonight…and according to some of the readers of the site, she will be performing her new song Physical. I’m not so sure if this is coming from a legit source but if that is the case…I can not wait to see some videos! Also, her hair and outfit looking banging!
Here at AubreyODay.us we try to keep up with the latest images released of Aubrey! However, due to being on hiatus in the past we currently have a backlog of some images from 2005 through to 2010 that we need to upload. Keep viewing the gallery to check out the photo’s we’re updating! We’ll post to let you know of major updates. I’m trying to get the more recent galleries updated first, click the links below to check out the ones I’ve uploaded so far!
