Former Danity Kane star Aubrey O’Day will be returning to screens this year with her new Oxygen reality series – ‘The Aubrey O’Day Project’.
Full story after the jump…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, O’Day signed a lucrative deal with the network to collaborate on the series, which will “chronicle her attempt to make a comeback in the music industry while working with a demanding team of industry professionals”.
Speaking on the show, Oxygen’s senior VP of Original Programming Amy Introcaso-Davis said:
“Young women have watched the ups and downs of Aubrey through the years (on MTV’s Making The Band), and they continue to cheer her on. 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.”
Hmm. I’ve long gone back-and-forth on my take on Aubrey. Having initially been drawn to her vivacious, no BS nature, Diddy’s ‘you’re on a path to nowhere’ sound-bite seems like it had some truth to it. For, while Ms. O’Day has had some success on the Broadway circuit, she’s more notable these days for her ass-ets than her talent. A shame, as she actually showed much potential when first starting out in Danity Kane (until she started believing her own hype). One can only hope, the show re-focuses the spotlight on her talent – although I wouldn’t hold my breath. Either way she has an uphill struggle ahead of her, if being taken seriously is what she is on the hunt for (see: Playboy, Barbie gimmick, plastic surgery).
Will you be watching…?
SHE IS GIVING ME MARIAH CAREY. LOL MAYBE IT’S THE PHOTOSHOP….
ANYWHO. I’M OVER ALL OF THESE REALITY SHOWS!
IF YOUR NOT “TIFFANY NEW YORK POLLARD” THAN I DONT WANNA SEE A REALITY SHOW.
She is not playing at all she’s been in the studio for most of the year and has major support behind her whole brand. Aubrey has the right amount of sass and brain to keep people loving, hating and interested in what she does next and with major backing I have no doubt she is gonna blow up.
I’m guessing as she’s still in the studio they will wait until she’s about finished before they air the show so that she can start releasng her music to coincede with the expected sucess of the show. Made props to Aubrey for this she kept her name out there the bst way she knew how long enough to get her fat ass (peep show pst MTB finale body was a mess) back in shape (MTB2 days – she her most recent twitpic) and start putting together what drew people to her in the first place —-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue6698S4pFo (sassy music).
Looking good for the girls of Danity Kane Audreas working on solo so is DWoods & Shannon whilst Dawn getting some kind of major exposure with Dirty Water (smart girl she knew she needed this position to stay semi relevant) and working on her solo stuff. Kudos to hard ass working women making it happen.
*Crickets*
IM STILL WAITING FOR THAT DQUE SHOW!!!!!!
aubrey hoday AIN’T S***!
I always liked Aubrey. Her personality shined during the first episode of Making the Band. When she upped her s** appeal, she lost some of her pretty girl next-door charm. I wish her luck in reaching her dreams.
@ Shes SO Serious
Thanks for sharing the information. 🙂
The DQue foshowmance show? I’m sorry to say this but NOBODY and I mean NO NETWORK know who they are hense NO SHOW DEAL NO WAY NO HOW, f*** what they say and what you heard.
Read between the lines they spoke too damn soon and MTV pulled out because they realised that no one is checking for them nor their damn FOSHOWMANCE and you can’t sell a show with no audiance. Now if Dawn wanna fess up to a her shady s*** (fomance, doin Diddy, f***** up the GROUPS! for personal gain to name but few) and Que wanna open that closet door….I think they’d have a block buster smash movie & spin off series on their hands. LMAO
Until then….*BIG LOUD ASS CRICKETS* to that show.
I meant fauxshowmance. ^ –
Who’s this?
I thought that I should let you know that my music is garbage…so garbage and you can blame the FLOP before
I read a while ago where it was mentioned that dawn richards created the name danity kane and has comments book out.
http://photos.essence.com/galleries/dawn_richard_speaks
Dawn to me seems as if she is a business woman who is about making money and in this business you have do more than just sing especially if you want to brand your product which she seems to be doing. Yeah! she is with the other group. guraaantee she is getting alot of esposure and making alot of connects
If you notice none of the other girls can use the name except dawn cuz she created it/owns it.
as for Andrea (she can sing) she would do well in the latina market, shannon would do well in country music
, Dwoods had two videos of songs she had out which was straight garbage .. (you can fine it on youtube.) after watching the video last year. I said what the hell is this crap?
aubrey I liked her better when she had the hometown girl look going on (she can sang/dance but will that be enough? Unless, she has really good team behind her?
Who? She made Dawn become more relevant than her SMH. But Dawn wants to be like Queen Rihanna. Too bad she can’t do it like her.
SORRY BUT I’M SICK OF PEOPLE GETTING REALITY SHOWS EVERY TIME THER ALBUM IS COMING OUT. IF YOU ASK ME THE WHOLE OF DANITY KANE SHOULD JUST GET BACK TOGETHER CUS THER IRRELEVANT WITHOUT EACH OTHER.

Aubrey HOday. I won’t be watching. She has really ruined her reputation.
O GOOD GOD-ARE U SERIOUS?!?!?! YYYYYYYYYY??? I am SO SICK OF TV RITE NOW, we need music back on TV, REAL MUSIC !!!!!
Reality show overload! What happened to a good ol’ sitcom?
Thank you Jesus for re-runs 🙂
But anyway, I wish Ms. O’Day well on her journey. Shes a great talent and I can’t wait to see what she can bring to the musical table…
I guarantee you’ll be watching *rolls eyes* why you frontin! As for Dawn being a business woman how many copies she sell? Aubrey had Hearts on My Sleeve out 2yrs ago and that’s straight easy cash in the pocket, playboy don’t pay peanut for you to flash that ass not to mention she gets Paid stupid money for appearances – come on the thought of having a playboy pinup host an event of club night or a shafted talent being portrayed as a backup dancer?
if Aubrey goes back to her more innocent look, I think she’ll do fine. i don’t think t*** girls want to be like her anymore and sure not young women. Aundrea, I think at the end can have more success then the rest, she needs a good team behind her. Dawn, hmmm, though I like her at times, I think Dirty Money is going to hurt her more than it will help her, people keep saying she is gaining exposure and making connect, but who is really checking for her. Why hasn’t she wrote for anybody since she is supposedly this great songwriter, she’s been in the game for a minute. D. woods, i think she is happy doing what she does. She does a lot of behind the scenes work in Atlanta. Her connection with young money keeps her busy, not worldwide though nor nationally lol. Shannon is about 30 now. I don’t khow what to think about her.

One more thing then I’m officially off this.
When Aubrey O’Days show launches Dirty Money will probably have been over and done but if it’s not I think both Dawn and DIddy (mostly Dawn) will be shitting bricks because Aubrey probably won’t hold back when closing the door on her past. It’s safe to say there’s probably a gagging order on slinging s*** in Diddys direction so she’ll only have one direction to aim (just like she did on wendy williams) and that will put an end to the few Dawn fans that think she was all about Danity Kane and her man Que.
Let the games begin.
WELL I’VE BEEN WATCHING RERUNS OF MAKING THE BAND 4 LATELY AND I MUST SAY D. WOODS AND AUBREY, AFTER WATCHING, WERE KIND OF SMART TO START PLANNING THEIR SOLO CAREERS TOWARDS THE END OF DK. D. WOODS SAID IT HERSELF ON THE MO’NIQUE SHOW THAT SHE COULD TELL SHE WOULDN’T BE THERE MUCH LONGER. THE REST OF THEM KIND OF HAVE TO DO SOME DAMAGE CONTROL BECAUSE DAWN IS STILL WITH BAD BOY AND DIRTY MONEY HAS NO ALBUM TO SHOW AFTER LIKE 4 OR 5 VIDEOS AND A PACK OF SINGLES SO SHE’S BASICALLY A DIDDY CHEERLEADER AND BACK UP SINGER BUT HEY SHE’S WRITING TOO AND SHE’S A REALLY GOOD WRITER SO MAKE YOUR MONEY DAWN. AUNDREA JUST FINALLY GOT STARTED ON AN ALBUM AS WELL AS SHANNON AS ANNOUNCED VIA TWITTER. D. WOODS HAS HER DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL THROUGH HER OWN LABEL. BAD BOY IS NOT AN EASY SITUATION TO BOUNCE BACK FROM SO PLEASE DON’T HATE ON HER TOO MUCH BECAUSE WHILE SHE GOT A LITTLE BIG HEADED TOO QUICK, YOU HAVE TO ADMIT HER SMART MOUTH GOT HER PLACES. PEOPLE FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT. HERE’S HOPING THIS FOCUSES ON BOTH HER PERSONALITY AND HER MUSIC….MORE SO FOR THE MUSIC I’M HOPING PERSONALLY ANYWAY BUT THEN AGAIN THIS IS AUBREY SO I’M EXPECTING ALOT OF PARTYING AND A MTB4 DK BREAK UP DISCUSSION AND OF COURSE A CAMEO FROM D. WOODS AND SHANELL FROM YOUNG MONEY (D. WOODS’ SISTER). DK WAS A BAD ASS GROUP AND COULD HAVE GONE SO FAR AS A GROUP…..WITH ALL OF THEM. TOGETHER WITH YES EVEN AUBREY THEY WERE GREAT. AUBREY CAN SING, SHE’S PROVED IT BEFORE. IT’S ABOUT WHAT BAD BOY WANTED HER TO DO WHICH IS SCALE DOWN HER VOICE. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SING TO DO BROADWAY ANYWAY. SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE GROUP I THINK RED CARPETING AND PARTY HOSTING GOT IN THE WAY BUT THE GROUP WAS CONSTANTLY FIGHTING FOR THEIR SHINE WHICH IS HARD ON BAD BOY. LOOK @ THE GROUP BEFORE THEM, DREAM. WHERE ARE ANY OF THEM? THEY’RE KNOWN AS THE DK BEFORE BK. I UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED HERE. I DON’T BLAME ANY OF THE MEMBERS FOR THE BREAK UP OF DK I BLAME DIDDY AND BAD BOY BECAUSE HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE IS DOING WITH A LABEL. BEFORE HE STARTED BEING A LOUD ASS ATTENTION W**** PUSHING ALCOHOL HE ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE NEEDS TO SIT HIS ASS IN A CHAIR AND SHUT UP. BY THE WAY DID ANYONE ELSE FIND IT FUNNY THAT ALL OF THE ARTISTS FEATURED ON MAKING THE BAND 4 ARE NO LONGER APART OF THE BAD BOY FAMILY. AT LEAST DAY26 STILL HAS A LABEL WHICH IS ATLANTIC RECORDS, BAD BOY’S FORMER DISTRIBUTOR, ALTHOUGHT BAD BOY’S NEW LABEL INTERSCOPE RECORDS REALLY TAKES CARE OF THEIR ARTISTS. PUFFY HAS NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT ANYONE’S TALENT AFTER HE SIGNED HIS C** DUMP CASSIE AND I’M SO PISSED AT THE MISHANDLING OF DK AND HOW HE TREATED THEM AND DAY26 AND DONNIE KLANG (NOT THAT HE’S MAJORLY TALENTED BUT JUST A LITTLE) BUT HE CAN’T TALK ABOUT ANYONE AFTER HE SIGNED HER. AUNDREA SEEMS LIKE SHE CAN GO FAR BECAUSE OF HER VOICE IF SHE WERE TO SIGN A MAJOR DEAL AS WELL AS SHANNON BECAUSE SHE’S GOT THAT IMAGE AND THE BODY AND THE MOVES AND VERY NICE VOICE, IT CAN GO RASPY AND HIGH. D. WOODS IS AN ALL AROUND TALENT, BEAUTY, NICE VOICE, NICE BODY, SHE IS AN AMAZING SONGWRITER AND HER MOVES ARE NICE AS WELL AND SHE’S GOT LOADS OF PERSONALITY WHICH IS WHAT AMERICA FELL IN LOVE WITH WITH AUBREY. LIKE I SAID IF WE’RE GOING TO HATE ANYONE FOR THE FALL OF DK HATE PUFF. AFTER ALL DK DID MOST OF THE WORK CONSIDERING WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN. THEY SCORED TWO #1 PLATINUM ALBUMS IN TWO YEARS WITH NEXT TO NO PROMO BESIDES THEIR SHOW. THANK GOODNESS THEY HAD THE HIT SINGLES THEY HAD AND THE SHOW AS WELL. IMAGINE WORKING WITH NO PROMOTION, NOT RELEASING SINGLES AND SHOOTING VIDEOS FOR THEM (SEE “RIGHT NOW” & “HOLD ME DOWN” FROM THEIR DEBUT) AND THE HIGHLY UNDERPROMOTOED ‘WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE’ WHICH WAS AN AMAZING ALBUM FROM START TO FINSIH. THEY HANDELED THAT WELL. “POETRY”, “LIGHTS OUT”, “SUCKA FOR LOVE” AND “IS ANYBODY LISTENING?” (WHICH WAS ALSO TALKED ABOUT AS BEING RELEASED AS A SINGLE) COULD HAVE ALL BEEN SMASHES HAD THEY HAD THE RIGHT HANDLING. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH INTERSCOPE INSTEAD OF PCD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT A REAL GIRL GROUP LIKE DK WAS. LOOK AT HOW MANY VIDEOS PCD GOT FROM ONE ALBUM AND HOW MANY DK HAD IN THEIR WHOLE CAREER. I WILL SAY THIS…..PCD HAD ONE HIT ALBUM AND DK HAD TWO…..SO WHO’S THE CLEARLY THE BETTER GROUP HERE? I WANT DK BACK SO HERE’S HOPING THAT THEY ALL HAVE SUCCESSFUL SOLO CAREERS AND THAT THEY GET BACK TO MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER ON A GREAT LABEL SUCH AS ROC NATION/COLUMBIA, INTERSCOPE, OR JIVE RECORDS. DK SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED UNDER SOMEONE ELSE TO SHOW DIDDY THAT THEY DON’T NEED HIS ASS AND THEY ALSO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED THEIR THIRD ALBUM ‘FROM THE ASHES’ BECAUSE IF ‘WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE’ WAS EPIC JUST IMAGINE WHAT ‘FROM THE ASHES’ WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE. SORRY BUT I JUST MISS DK.
BTW DAWN’S IMAGE THESE DAYS IS LOOKING A LITTLE LOW RENT RIHANNA/POOR MAN’S KERI HILSON. DAWN YOU LOOK LIKE A BROKE DOWN KERI/RIHANNA! I’M SORRY BUT I’M SAYING THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! YOU LADIES LOOKED WONDERFUL IN THE ‘WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE’ ERA. I LOVE YOUR FACE THESE DAYS BUT NOT YOUR HAIR. YOU HAVE A SMALL HEAD SO YOU NEED MORE HAIR ON IT. MAYBE YOU STAND OUT MORE THESE DAYS BECAUSE YOU LOOK ALOT BETTER THAN KALENNA OF DIRTY MONEY. THAT MUST FEEL GOOD. BUT IT CAN’T FEEL GOOD KNOWING THAT YOUR PROJECT IS GOING NOWHERE.
OH PLEASE, YET ANOTHER FAKE @SS REALITY SHOW? Whatever happened to creativity in crafting TV programs? I hate the media!
Is she the one who initially wanted to go to medical school before joining the group????
@ I’m not a comic book fan so, I wouldn’t know. My point is that singing in the industry only last for so long. You have to be nice to people and make the right connections and that is what I see dawn doing. Regardless of how others throw shade.
@Tia her D woods sisters is connected to young money her name is (shanelle) and she is also a dancer or something like that.
aubrey if she could have kept a little bit of her down home girl look she would have blown up …the question is will anyone be checking on her and it depends on how good her show is.
Ohh your still around it’s her fault Danity Kane broke up!….and d.woods and dawn lol
I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS MESS OR EVEN A COMMERICAL ABOUT IT SHE IS LAME AND THE MAIN REASON FOR THE DECLINE AND FALL OF DANITY KANE!!!!! AS I WOULD USUALLY SAY ABOUT HER:
SHES A C** BUCKET…INSERT SEAMEN BELOW NOSE!!!!!
SHE HAS NO CHANCE!!!!!
I probably wouldve watched this 2 years ago but I could care less now
I’ve always been of Aubrey’s personality and talent. Despite the media blog’s popular opinion who try to drag her name through the dirt, Aubrey O’day posses a virbant, sarcastic and intelligent aura about herself, one that is fresh and rememberable. Although her passion for things can be seen as being an overload, Aubrey knows how to play her cards right, using her moments in the spotlight to a full advantage. I think many people overshadow her intelligence with her physical attributes and those moments of randomness. However, one shouldn’t call the kettle black, we can all relate to Aubrey with being underestimated and dubbed as something who we really aren’t. This girl is a star in her own right and her moment in the sun is right under our noses. People just need to give her a chance. 🙂
I’ve always been #TeamAubrey since she first hit the scene in making the band. Out of all the girls in that group she has always been the one who has had the strongest “it” factor. Aubrey was the one called when people wanted to do interviews and photoshoots. Aubrey was the one already handling side projects behind the scenes while in Danity Kane. And honestly, if I had to put money on who hustles the hardest and would grind the most to achieve success I would spend my money on Aubrey. The only other person who’s been grinding as hard as she has from that group, is D. Woods.
Check out my upcoming web series! :

YEEES! i will be watching! Cant wait for her stuff to come out i will buy that to! Go Aubrey your dumb ex bandmates cant see that yal could have went on but they let Diddy get between yal! YOu know wat you doin boo! Lets get it!!!!!!!
I can’t stand this chick! I liked her the very first season of MTB but she really became annoying when they actually started to become successful. And she looks freakin’ HORRENDOUS! YUK!
If Danity Kane ever gets back together, I wouldn’t be so upset if Aubrey didn’t come back because although she is an okay dancer, her vocals annoy me because she breathes way too much when she sings. Just sing the damn song instead trying to be all s*** and ish!
But on that note: I do miss Danity Kane! 🙁 *Goes to listen to their first album*
Danity Kane will probably never get back together so people need to leave that mess alone. None of them chick can stand Dawn you’d get a four piece minus Dawn before you get one including Dawn and D Woods could just about stand sharing the spotlight when things were good let alone going back to that s***..
@ She’s So Serious
I couldn’t agree with u more. I know that’s exactly what’s going to happen. And Dawn can’t blame anybody but herself. She knew exactly what she was doing and she s*** backfired in her face. Now the broad is a back up dancer for Diddy’s dumb ass SMH.
I will def. be watching Aubrey’s show. I was always a fan of hers. Can’t wait to hear some of her music either. if the s*** knocks, like I hope it does, then I will def. be buying it.
i miss DANITY KANE…
and i miss Aubrey.
she is a hard worker… and she’s definitely bringing something to the table.
she might as well be the most popular and successful bandmate from Danity Kane, if Dawn don’t quit Dirty Money, if Aundrea don’t release her album ASAP, and if Shannon and D.Woods don’t do something.
More power to Aubrey, Viva La AUBREY!
that’z right bytchezzzz
AUBREY O’DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don’t forget it
MY TRUE DEEP DOWN FEELINGS ARE THAT MR .COMBS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A CRUSH HIMSELF ON THE NEW STAR AND THATS THE REALITY I THINK HIS OTHER PART OF HIS BRAIN HAD MORE THOUGHTS ABOUT HER THEN HIS REAL BRAIN….SO SHE IS DOING A REALITY SHOW LET HER DO HER STOP HATTIN AND BRINGING UP SOMEONE WHO HAS TALENT AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL .AT THE END OF THE DAY PEOPLE CAN SAY SHE IS JUST AS SUPERFICIAL AS MARIAH CAREY BUT MRS.

DIDDY PDIDDY PUFFY PUFDADDY DEE WHO EVER HE WANTS TTO CALL HIMSELF TODAY SAW TALENT OR HE WOULDNT HAVE PICKED HER AND LIKE ANY PERSON U MAKE MISTAKES AND RISE FROM THEM AND IN MAKING THE BAND MS. A MADE SOME BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE SHE DID HER JOB ,SHE HAS TALENT AND BEAUTY USE IT GIRL AND DONT LET ANYONE STOP U STOP HATING THESE PEOPLE WHO BECOME FAMOUS AND WANT TO FEEL IT AND WANT TO MAKE THIER DREAMS COME TRUE I THINK SHE AND AUNDREA MADE THAT BAND DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVED THEM ALL BUT THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK MR.COMBS DIDNT WANT TO BE A SELL OUT ,I THINK HE COULDNT MAKE UP HIS MIND ON WHICH FEMALE HE WANTED OUT OF ALL OF THEM SO HE GOT RID OF THE ONE HE KNEW WOULD STEAL THE SHOW.
