Aubrey O'Day Is No Friend Of Hitler: The MTV Quote Of The Day

Posted 9/1/09 5:35 pm EST by in Music


"Murderers and dictators generally are some of the smartest people out there — they just use their brain power for evil purposes. I don't condone any of their evil behavior, but I was asked about their intellectual firepower ... and in my opinion you can't have a low IQ and wreak that much havoc on the world. What Hitler succeeded in doing was deplorable. And I hope we never see such an abusive use of power again."

-Former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day clarifying comments she made about Adolph Hitler and Fidel Castro being "brilliant." O'Day was a guest on the Fox News show "Hannity" on Monday night (August 31) to talk about a recent United Nations report about sex education that suggests that masturbation be taught in schools. (The show regularly welcomes celebrities to discuss the issues of the day.) A former political science major, O'Day talked about an experience she had visiting Cuba and attending a seminar with Castro. She called him "brilliant," and Hannity immediately called him a "murderer," which led to O'Day's comments about Castro and Hitler.

Richie Rich Hooks Us Up With Limited Edition Vans

Posted 8/26/09 12:47 pm EST by in Music


By Akshay Bhansali

Way back in February, I joined fellow MTV News team members Christina Garibaldi and Jocelyn Vena in accompanying Aubrey O'Day as she took in fittings with and walked the ramp for former Heatherette designer Richie Rich at New York Fashion Week. To commemorate the show, Rich teamed up with Vans shoes for a limited edition line worn on the catwalk. These kicks would not be hitting stores and only a few hundred pairs were made and handed out to attendees of the show. At the end of the show Rich promised us a pair and I was beginning to think it was another empty celeb promise. No big deal — you get used to it.

I may not get away with wearing a pair myself, but receiving my limited-edition pair of Richie Rich Vans in today's mail was the highlight of my afternoon. In typical Richie Rich fashion, these shoes are attention grabbers: covered with every color in the highlighter hue, Rich's signature logo, a big lipstick kiss and neon pink laces. There's no room for subtlety here. But that's why we love Richie Rich. Thanks to the homie Richie and Vans shoes for hooking me up and letting me believe in what famous people promise all over again.

Aubrey O'Day Is A Better Bunny: The MTV Quote Of The Day

Posted 8/21/09 5:37 pm EST by in Music


"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. 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."

-Former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day discussing how her Playboy pictorial stacked up against that of fellow MTV star Heidi Montag. Unlike Montag, O'Day got completely starkers for her shoot, and she suggests that if Montag goes back to Playboy again (a suggestion she is open to), then she should go the full monty. "You know you can take a million pretty pictures, every celebrity girl has taken a million pretty pictures," O'Day told MTV News. "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?"

We Say Farewell To Aubrey O'Day, As Fashion Week Comes To A Close

Posted 2/20/09 2:28 pm EST by in aubrey o'day


This week, Aubrey O'Day became an honorary member of the MTV News team as our celebrity correspondent for New York Fashion Week. We've been going to shows, fittings and parties with the fabulous former Danity Kane member.

So, it was with a heavy heart that Christina, Akshay, Micaela and I met up with Aubrey for our last day of shooting with her on Thursday. First off, we sat down with her for an interview at the W Lounge in the tents to get all the latest news about her career (new music, Playboy, her clothing line), which we'll share with you at a later date. During that sitdown, Aubrey told our camera guy, Akshay, that she thought his hair looked "sexy." It was sort of adorable. I mean who doesn't like to be called sexy by a celebrity?

After our time with Aubrey at the lounge, we headed off to the Christian Siriano show. Christian and Aubrey met for the first time (and seemed to really hit it off) when she interviewed him about his collection, which can be described as both sassy and lady-like. The collection was full of earth tones with touches of "Persian green," and celebrity attendees like Tori Spelling, Nina Garcia and "30 Rock" 's Katrina Bowden seemed to love it. Read More...

Girls' Night Out At Fashion Week With Aubrey O'Day

Posted 2/19/09 2:52 pm EST by in aubrey o'day, Fashion Week



Any fashion show that seamlessly combines ballet dancers, a performance by Kat DeLuna and hot models clad in sequins, ruffles and platform shoes cannot be bad. But when that fashion show has not only models but the likes of former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day and Pamela Anderson gracing the catwalk, it can only get better.

That's what Christina, Micaela, Mary and I got to experience last night at the Richie Rich show at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. First we met up with Aubrey backstage, where she was getting made fabulous in hair and makeup. The backstage area could only be described as a hot mess of Richie Rich and his crew of scenesters, models, drag queens, Davis from "The Real World: Denver," Aubrey and us. Pamela was apparently getting beautified at an undisclosed locale in the hotel.

On Tuesday, we met up with Aubrey as she got fitted to walk in the Richie Rich show that's taking place later today at the famed Waldorf Astoria hotel.

Aubrey O'Day's Latest Surprise: 'Love Fests' (!) With Her Dog

Posted 1/16/09 1:37 pm EST by in aubrey o'day, Danity-Kane


Aubrey O'Day has shared a lot of valuable information about her life with us. She told us about her plans for a solo record. She discussed her future, or lack thereof, with "Making the Band." She talked about her sexuality and her obsession with Miley Cyrus (though the two are not necessarily related). She complained about Perez Hilton being mean to her on his blog. And, let's not forget, the Pop Week MVP also confirmed that she posed for Playboy.

But there was a moment during our interview when Aubrey got really real with us, sharing something we actually weren't prepared for. We're going to disclose it to you now, but we're not sure you're going to believe it for yourself.

Aubrey brought her faithful dog, Ginger, to the interview. That seemed innocent enough, until ... well ... until Aubrey told us about "love fests" (her term, not ours) she likes to have with her dog. And then Aubrey and Ginger sort of made out with each other before our eyes. It's really sort of hard to describe, but if you can handle it, see for yourself.
