“I definitely didn’t make my name in that way. I have sex with people because I love them, because they touch my heart, and because I want to potentially see a future with them. I definitely don’t approach sex as something fun to do on Friday night. I approach it with a lot of value. So that wouldn’t be somebody I’d be interested in sleeping with.”

On Keeping in Contact With Dawn Richard (of Danity Kane):
“Nobody talks to Dawn. We’ve all reached out and tried to pave the way and make that situation open and better. I guess that’s not something that she’s really wanting to do right now.”

I love to get artistic with it, so I wanted to be the girl that actually bleeds green. How many chicks can actually say that?”

When you’ve found success on reality TV once, why not try it again?

Many may remember when now-former Danity Kane member Abrey O’Day, 26, rose to fame during her time on Diddy‘s hit reality MTV show “Making the Band 3.” Those who followed the bodacious blond through the years may also remember when Diddy fired her on that same show a few years later. Since then, O’Day’s career hasn’t really exploded like she had hoped, and now she is planning a new reality show centered around her comeback.

The show, titled “The Aubrey O’Day Project,” will be aired on Oxygen. Cameras will follow O’Day as she works with a team of industry professionals, who will assist her as she records a solo album for her comeback.

Senior VP of original programming and development at Oxygen Amy Introcaso-Davis said:

“Young women have watched the ups and downs of Aubrey through the years, 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.”

Since being fired from DK, O’Day has appeared in Playboy, performed in “Hairspray” on Broadway and in the burlesque “Peepshow” in Las Vegas.

Sometimes I get random calls of apologies or I’ll call and apologize for things we are processing from the past.”

Though she hasn’t spoken with Dawn and doesn’t keep in touch with her, Aubrey says she wishes her and Diddy the best with their new “Dirty Money” group. She says she hasn’t heard any of their music though.

“I haven’t heard any of that, but I wish them the best of luck,” she said. “They’re both very talented people. … I wish everybody the best, all four of those women. I wish them the most success. I think all of us should and could and hopefully will be great at what we love to do best.”

Playboy cover girl Aubrey O’Day says that she’s “excited” about Heidi Montag posing for Playboy, despite the fact that Heidi herself and her husband Spencer danced around the subject recently by speaking in hypothetics.

“I’m excited that Heidi will join the long list of Playboy cover girls!” she told MTV News in a statement. “I hope she enjoyed the shoot and feels as liberated as I did! Good luck!”

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian offered the MTV reality star advice and helped her make the decision to pose for the magazine.

“Actually, I was in Mexico and I got a call from Heidi saying, ‘Call me right now,’” Kardashian told MTV News on Tuesday (June 16). “So I called her and she had said to me, ‘What do you think? What’s your opinion on if I were to do Playboy?’”

Kardashian told her to “go for it.”

“I think that now’s the time,” she said. “I think it’s a very classy magazine. It’s artsy. I talked her through the whole process and helped her make up her mind.”

Of course, Kardashian, who is currently the spokeswoman for Nivea’s “Good-bye Cellulite, Hello Bikini” challenge, wasn’t the only person who helped Heidi make up her mind. Spencer also had a hand in the decision-making process. “Her and Spencer talked it over,” Kardashian said. “They felt like it was the right thing for her to do and I’m anxious to see it.”

Kardashian is confident that Heidi had as good an experience as she did when she posed for the magazine.

“It was a really fun process for me,” she said, adding that getting asked to be on the cover is an “honor.” “I’m excited to see what the pictures will turn out to be.”

Jay-Z gave the paparazzi a quick thumbs up as he held his head low when he left Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood Thursday night after eating dinner with Rihanna.

Rihanna flashed a little smirk at the eager photogs as she too held her head low in an effort to show her obvious annoyance with the paps and to avoid them the best way possible. Too bad you can’t do that at a restaurant like Katsuya where the west coast paparazzi basically live and thrive.

Kim Kardashian‘s little sis Khloe also dined at the popular Los Angeles restaurant last night and the paps greeted her with the usual flashing lights and fanfare.

Aubrey O’Day was there too and of course she soaked up all the attention like a little sponge. A little sponge with a nice playboy spread at least.

Four out of the five ladies of Danity Kane returned to the stage once again for the finale of Season 3 of MTV’s Making The Band 4. The finale was filmed live at The Hudson Theatre up in NYC and featured appearances from Diddy, Day 26 (who also performed), Donnie Klang and of course D. Woods, Dawn Richard, Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex of DK.

Sway from MTV got the ladies to open up a bit about their current “situation,” and when he got to a question about them making up and geting back together D. Woods acted like she wanted to avoid the question, all the while promoting her album and talking about everyone at a place where they wanted to “move on.” Shannon was open to the idea and so was Dawn and Aubrey. But what about Aundrea? Why isn’t she in any of the pics? Well, it turns out … she decided not to attend the taping because she’s still hurt about what happened and just wants to move on from the situation ASAP.

Diddy may have given Aubrey O’Day the boot from pop group Danity Kane, but if you thought she was going to go home and work full time at a local IHOP then you were sadly mistaken. Homegirl is getting in where she can fit in! Sources tell our friends over at TMZ that the ex-DK member spent last Wednesday at a Manhattan photo studio doing a spread for Playboy Magazine.

Aubrey O’Day has gone from wearing skankerrific clothes to get attention … to not wearing clothes at all to get attention. TMZ spies say the Danity Kane has-been spent all day at a Manhattan photo studio doing a spread for Playboy, and we’re told hotshot photog Markus Klinko was the guy who had to look at her naked body all day through the lens. We’re hearing there may be cats involved in the shoot — meaning actual lion cubs, not what you’re thinking.

Can’t say that we’re surprised about this one! We’re just surprised it took THIS long…
