Renown for her red hot ensembles, Aubrey O’Day today turned the heat up on her head, when she unveiled this blazing new hair do.

The former Danity Kane diva posted the shot on Twitter, while on the set of a new photoshoot.

Let’s just hope the shoot was in support of new material, because after Oxygen’s ‘All About Aubrey’ reaffixed the focus onto her music career, it’s all been a bit too quiet for our liking. Worry which is heightened when considering the structural changes at the label she signed to (SRC/Universal Motown) just as she came on board. Talk about iffy timing.

That said, we’ve got buckets of patience when it comes to Ms. O’Day. For, when not overly selling her assets, she still presents quite the compelling Pop package. And with Britney performing like a pensioner these days, there’s a big vacancy open.

When Rihanna‘s latest single ‘We Found Love’  remained at  the top of the US singles chart last week, it became the 36th week the performer had spent atop that chart since her debut.

This of course came much to the horror of Beyonce fans as it meant the pair were now tied for having spent the same amount of time at #1.

Now- as of this chart week- the pair are no longer tied. For, the ‘S&M‘ singer has now impressively  bested  the 36 week record she once shared with Knowles.
