Ok... I was playing about the title of the post... but I think our girl Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane is a lesbian now. First Lindsay, now Aubrey. Lawd Jeeeezus! What is going on? Aubrey was seen out with Lydia Hearst smooching and canoodling in the back seat. I'm praying that they are slobbing each other down on the third picture. Maybe she's whispering something in her mouth? Ya think?And I'm guessing from Aubrey is stating on her blog that the ladies of Danity Kane ain't gettin they ends either just like their counterparts Day 26. Aubrey states in her blog that the group isn't financially supported all the time to go to the different shows and that they have to come out of pocket sometimes, and it's not feasible for them to make all of their appearances because they make no money and that if they aren't all seen together at different events, it's not because they didn't want to come or that the group broke up, but because they're too poor. *Blank stare* fooooooooreal! Poor? You got a platinum album, how are you poor? Or is it just bad money management skills?

Hello Mrs. Rayne,
Just to let you know, having a platinum album doesn't equal having a lot money.
I used to follow the business pretty closely as an underground artist, and though its been about 4 years since I paid attention to the particulars; at the time an artist received 7.99 cents pers point on the album. If it's gone up since then I'm sure it's not more than a penny. New artist usually receive only 7 points on an album; that means about 56 cents per record sold. That's divided by 5 people in Danity Kane's case. Understand, it's not 56 cents per cd for each member; it's 56 cents per cd for all 5 combined. That means if they sold exactly 1 million, they got about 10,500 dollars a piece.
Most artist end up with little to no money from record sales, especially first contract artist. Particularly after the label recoups for videos, limo rides, studio time, and any thing else they can find to bill you for. They have to make their money from paid performances, merchandising, and if they can get some promotional deals.
That's why I laugh at these fake a-- rappers. All the stuff you see in their videos is rented. They ain't living like their song lyrics in most cases.
Now, apart of it has to do with these fools getting their advances, not understanding the business and going and spending all the money up on $200 pairs of pumps, the fastest car they can and thousands of dollars on jewelry instead of putting some money back.
Nonetheless even if you do the right thing with the money you do get, you're not going to have tons of money to fly yourself all around the world and such, regularly. I doubt she meant that they're literally poor as in below the poverty line. But I guarantee you combined they don't have a million dollars. I seriously doubt if combined all five have half a million dollars.
Go to the 3:04 mark of this video for Left Eye's explanation of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx8C2OTPq-A&feature=related
Diddy is know for rippin off artist. Why do you think NOBODY ever stays with him. For the Lox to get out of their deal, which they refused to keep working so he pretty much had to let them out; they had to sign a no disclosure agreement to not talk about how he was sticking them.
Aubrey is gross
