Early life

Since performing on stage for the first time at age 5, O'Day has had a love for entertaining. "I lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats of the theatre," she stated in an interview. According to her mother, when O'Day was 6, she was at a performance of "The Nutcracker" and started to cry. Her mother asked her during intermission what was wrong; O'Day relates that moment as "officially" realizing her love for entertainment.Cite web|title=Aubrey O'Day / Heart On My Sleeve Shop|publisher=aubreyoday.com|url=http://www.aubreyoday.com/ Aubrey O'Day / Heart On My Sleeve Shop]

O'Day pursued her love of performing through years with various leads in musical productions including Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", Carmen in "Fame", Sandy in "Grease", Liesl in "The Sound of Music", Tzeitel in "Fiddler on the Roof", Mimi in "Rent", etc. O'Day attended La Quinta High School in the early 2000s. She later attended the University of California, Irvine and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.

Career

O'Day was discovered on the MTV reality show "Making the Band 3", founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs, and emerged as the show's breakout star. Danity Kane's album debuted on August 22 2006, at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. [ [http://acharts.us/album/14545 acharts.us] ] Danity Kane was the opening act for Christina Aguilera on the U.S. leg of her "Back to Basics Tour" with the Pussycat Dolls.cite news|title=Christina Aguilera's Heading Back On Tour For 41 North American Dates|publisher=VH1|accessdate=2008-10-09|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1542894/20061011/kane__danity.jhtml]

O'Day walked the catwalk at Heatherette's Fall 2007 runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week held on February 6. She recorded a song with R&B singer Cupid written and produced by D. Harold; Mischke, and T. Thomas , whose title is "Do Yo Dance" which is the new single from Cupid's album "Time For A Change," although she was later replaced on the album with another female singer.

In January 2008, O'Day briefly became the face of "Famous Stars and Straps", and will appear in the comedy "American High School" in 2008. In addition, she performed as Amber Von Tussle in the Broadway musical "Hairspray" on July 16th, 2008.

She has recently started her own clothing line called "Heart on My Sleeve", which features t-shirts and accessories only available online. [ [http://www.heartonmysleeveshop.com/ heartonmysleeveshop.com] ]

O'Day has made a cameo appearance in Estelle's new music video for "Pretty Please".

On the October 7, 2008 episode of "Making the Band", Combs stated that O'Day was declared to no longer be a member of Danity Kane. An official announcement, however, has not been made from Bad Boy Records.

When asked by "Boston Herald" whether she is still in the group, O'Day was reluctant to answer and stated, "I can’t comment on anything, I’m sorry."

Speculation has risen that Combs firing O'Day was a ratings ploy and that he had no intention of truly dismissing her. When discussing her career, O’Day still refers to herself as a "member of a girl band" and "the official party girl of Danity Kane".

O'Day is currently reading scripts for consideration in starring in feature films.

Personal life

In an interview in August 2008, O'Day stated she was "totally" irritated with people pigeonholing her sexuality; "...Because at this point in my life I wouldn't say one way or another "what" my preference is sexually. The only thing I'm looking for in life is incredible passion and honest love, and if that's with a girl, a guy, a guy that dresses like a girl, a girl that dresses like a guy, whatever the options are on the table, all I really operate on is the way I feel in my heart when it comes to love."

On "The Wendy Williams Show" on August 12, 2008, O'Day stated that she previously dated DJ Cassidy. She also refuted rumors of ever having plastic surgery. [Aubrey O'Day, "The Wendy Williams Show" (2008-08-12). Retrieved on 2008-10-09.]

Rumors have recently surfaced that O'Day is dating singer/actor Donnie Wahlberg. O'Day, however, has denied that there is any romance between the two. "Donnie Wahlberg is such an amazing guy," she stated, "one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met, but I am not his girlfriend."

O'Day has been actively supporting Barack Obama for President in this year's presidential election in the United States. "He’s an amazing candidate and the only one that will make the changes the country needs right now," she said. "I’m incredibly passionate about this election. ref name=news.bostonherald.com/>
