Shelved but not forgotten, the rumors about Aubrey O'Day doing a photo shoot for Playboy have been bobbing on the surface once more. In November last year, words were rive that the former member of Danity Kane had done some photo shoots for the adult magazine with celebrity photographer Markus Klinko and now, New York's Daily News confirms further about the project.

"Aubrey's making about $500,000 to drop trou. For that kind of money, she was like 'Why not?'" a source told Daily News. Her spread reportedly will be published on the March 2009 issue. Still no statement from her camp has been released to confirm or deny the report.

It was unveiled previously by TMZ that the photo shooting took place at a Manhattan photo studio and there may be cats involved.

Aubrey O'Day made her fame when she was selected by P. Diddy to join the girl group Danity Kane in "Making the Band 4". After two albums with the group, she left in October last year, followed by D. Woods.
