Broadway Bound

Posted by Bossip Staff

India.Aire prepares to take on the big stage:

“Neo-soul frontwoman India.Arie is set to make her Broadway debut this August in the upcoming revival of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, produced by Whoopi Goldberg. The production begins September 8 at New York City’s Circle in the Square Theater. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter will open the play, which is an updated reprisal of the 1976 off-Broadway hit.

Also hitting the Big White Way for the first time is Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day. According to People.com, the singer will take on the role of Amber Von Tussle, the stuck-up arch-nemesis of Tracy Turnblad, in Hairspray starting July 18 at the Neil Simon Theatre.”

India.Aire we can understand, but Aubrey O’Day? Once Diddy hit up broadway with his non existent acting skills, anything goes. ANd speaking of Aubrey, we’ve included pics of her at an exclusive party at club Plum last night in NYC.

  5. bree is an OBAMA supporter.. YES WE CAN!

    Kudos to India.Arie…

    Bossip staff how dare you mention India.Arie and in the same post insert skank ***** Aubrey? quite disrespectful!

  6. Aunt Viv

    and I’m sure her acting chops will rival those past brilliant performances of top singer-*****-thespians like Mimi, Janet, Madonna, etc…

    Aunt Viv(Check me out!)

    Aubrey looks like one of those basketball groupie chicks I remember from college…

  10. Azdelish

    Aubrey looks like all she is good for is a good time in bed… Diddy had her really worked on

  11. B17

    @ Aunt Viv

    Nope. I duno if its a curse or a blessing to be the only Black on our team. But groupie’s (i.e. white college ho’s) tend to flock to the minorities.

    But my gf put a stop to all that. lol.

  12. Aunt Viv

    @B17

    LOL!

  13. I'm Just Me (My Baby Graduated 6/25/08...oh and f*ck NYSDOC)

    Good Luck to India.

    But that title is crazy.


  14. is it just me or does aubrey eyebrows look fu*k up!!


  15. I love India.Aire… she is one of my favourite singers. She sings some very influencial and encouraging songs. It is good to know she is still around; I haven’t about her in a long while.

  21. glok9n

    TALIB GOT THE COONISH NIGGR GRIN ON HIS FACE!


  22. That is not Aubrey Yall.


  23. Jaslene looks better in that picture.


  24. One of Talib’s eyes is lower than the other and so is hers .

  25. LdyK

    AWWW man i love this book…i can’t wait to see it! good for india she’s been through some isht with her lable about that last CD!

  26. Rubyredz

    At first I didn’t think that was Aubrey either…but I think she doesn’t look the same ’cause she done bleached her damn eye brows…didn’t Diddy spring for them a stylist and make-up artist? She looks awful! :-(

  27. EC OUTTA DA QC

    TALIB…. BACK AWAY!!!!!

    some SH*T is AIRBORNE!

    (LIKE SKANK-ITIS)

  28. INOCENTbiSTANDR

    That really doesn’t look like Aubrey from Danity Kane. Are we sure that’s her?

  29. EC OUTTA DA QC

    OH.. BIG UPS TO INDIA!

  30. sikadis ish

    Aubrey’s weird looking wth blonde eyebrows …Or did she have botox in her forehead? She’s got the Frankin-Stein thing going on. Whatever it is she should do it any more.

  31. v

    did jaslene get a boob job

  32. Shaz

    Aubrey is takin that blonde bimbo thing to a new level. No one should ever have eyebrows that blonde. Even natural blondes dont have brows that light. Shes starting to look like Spencer Pratt. Its really sad because a few years ago she was young and beautiful, and a couple years with Diddy in the sack has made her look haggardly, trashy and older than she really is.

  33. thatgirl

    Talib Kweli had a show in the city last nite, Aubrey is not missing a beat huh. :)

  34. Suga Mo

    Aubrey looks…..Effed UP!!! Is she high? Is she crying? Is she herione chic? Is she drunk? Plastic surgry?

  35. glok9n

    LOL @ SUGA MO!

  36. buttafly

    Bossip staff needs to learn how to spell. LOL, it’s India Arie. Step ya game up, or at least use spell check.

  37. Lady Architect

    I am happy for India Arie.

    aubrey needs to stop with the surgery because she will be the next lil kim soon.

  38. Lisa

    Aubrey used to be pretty. I think she got turned out by the black meat though and partying hard. She wants to land herself a “baller”, but looking the way she does-they only want one thing. With no disrespect at all, she looks really skanky.


  39. wtf is ‘big white way’?..yeah don’t post about Aubrey and India.Arie together..tooooo obviously ignant

  40. FckedUp Patrol

    Who knew India Arie had those legs?!

  41. Hi Hater!

    Aubrey looks like an Android from Star Wars

  42. melanie

    Love India! Aubrey has been a hot mess ever since she signed with Bad Boy. Can somebody please help this poor little white girl? She’s obviously trying sooo hard and totally missing the mark. The before and after pics must be shocking.

  43. Me Phi Me

    Jaslene def got a boob job!!!

  44. CJ

    Aubrey makes me sick! I try and avoid girls like her at all cost and for the sake of me peeing in peace without burning sensations.

  45. De

    India is so irrelevant.

  46. boe

    Amazing…I seemed to see she had a personal account on the wealthy dating club RICHLOVING.COM for hot guys and girls to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. Her blog was updated very often. Lots of guys joined in her friend circle there.

  47. NYC Gal

    I love India.Aire and I wish her all the best! I hope she doesn’t forget the singing thing when she goes Broadway.

  48. SOUTH AFRICAN BOY

    U know i loves ur brown skin

  49. SOUTH AFRICAN BOY

    Whats TALIB Kwali Doing the ………..he use to be so dope!!!!

    yes i said Dope……….bite me


  50. Where are Aubrey’s eyebrows?

  51. DC DIVA

    WHRE ARE HER EYEBROWS LOL

  52. Inquiring24

    yeah, where are her eyebrows, lol!

    Not looking at all attractive.

  53. The Bear

    NOW HEAR THIS!!!!

    To all the haters and bustas out there:

    Look at India.Aire’s pic above… Now take a closer look so you’ll remember.

    This is what a truly beautiful and sexy woman looks like.

  54. EZRawlins

    My my my, look at those legs…India is so HOT!!!!!!

  55. ChatManGuy

    I don’t know if Danity Kane is broke or not, but Aubrey is the only one in the group to make a big move like this, which will help her career. I know they’re touring right now, but I’m not hearing any buzz, be it positive or negative.


  56. Glad to see India Arie doing something…I can’t wait for another album from her…
