Aubrey O’ Day revealed (again) that none of the former Danity Kane members talk to Dawn Richard anymore, despite their attempts to reach out to her. (Really, girls? Still?) She also addressed the rumors (again) that her and Diddy were in a relationship, but she throws some good shade at her former boss this time around. Ha! (She discusses her relationship with her vibrator and her top 5 celebrity baby daddies, too.) WATCH! On if she’s still friends with the Danity Kane girls “You’re gonna see Aundrea come on the show. You’re gonna see us reunite for the first time since me being fired. You’re gonna see us back in the studio again recording and there’s gonna be some drama that goes along with that. I’m meeting Shannon, we’re having a barbecue at my house, so we’re reuniting again for the first time. D. Woods and I have always been tight. And nobody talks to Dawn and we’ve all reached out.” On having a relationship with Diddy: “No, not at all. I always ask people when they say that, ‘Where do you get from? Why are you thinking that?’ and they always say, ‘Well, the way you talked to him on the show, you really acted like you obviously had been in bed with him the night before, like you had some privilege or some right to be talking to Diddy like that.’ And I hear that a lot from females and it’s interesting to me because, as a woman, you should really applaud women that aren’t afraid of speaking their mind and that don’t cower in the likes of money and power.” (And check for the 3:35 mark where she throws shade at Diddy!)

Actor also tells MTV News he was ‘amazed’ seeing Radcliffe on Broadway. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Freddie Stroma Photo: MTV News “Insanely overwhelming. Really, really strange.” That’s how “Harry Potter” star Freddie Stroma described what he was feeling as he walked the red carpet during the New York premiere of “Half-Blood Prince” in the summer of 2009. Almost two years later, not much has changed for the self-deprecating Brit, who stopped to chat with MTV News at the hectic premiere for the “Deathly Hallows, Part 1” DVD and said, above the roar of the fans, “I can’t get used to this. It’s just bizarre.” To be fair, Stroma hasn’t had as much practice as some of his co-stars, as he only joined the franchise (as the young, cocksure wizard Cormac McLaggen) for the sixth film. Yet once he signed on, the cast welcomed him into the fold. “When I first met Dan [Radcliffe], I came in and I was just doing a costume check,” Stroma said. “He introduced himself to me and said, ‘Hi, Freddie, how’s it going?’ And then two weeks later, he came up to me again and remembered my name. He meets hundreds of people every day, so that’s amazing. You feel like you’re coming into a family.” And like any good family, the cast is there to support one another in non-“Potter” matters. While he was in New York, Stroma caught a production of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” the Broadway musical in which Radcliffe currently stars. “Really good!” he said of the show. “Dan can dance, sing and act — who knew? I didn’t know. I was just amazed. And it was funny. It’s a funny show. Choreography is amazing as well.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

DJ Aero and Porter Robinson tell MTV News how Project Blue Book became one of dance music’s hottest tickets. By Adam Stewart Porter Robinson, DJ Aero and Tommy Lee When we talk about Project Blue Book , we’re not talking about the alleged top-secret government program said to be covering up things like Area 51 and little green men in Roswell, New Mexico. We’re talking about the hot music collective that’s been turning heads and making waves since their tour first launched back in February. But for Skrillex, Tommy Lee, DJ Aero, and up-and-coming beat-whiz Porter Robinson, the extraterrestrial connotation is apt too. The show these guys put on is totally out of this world. “It came together because we really needed a tour name to make this all work,” DJ Aero explained to MTV News. “We were going back and forth with [Skrillex] coming up with crazy names, and then he sent us an email with the history behind [the government’s Project Blue Book], and we were like, ‘Yeah, that sounds like us!’ ” “We were going to call it Meowington’s Tour!” Aero joked, referring to their pal deadmau5’s (a.k.a Joel Zimmerman) cat. “But we couldn’t put it together legally. [Joel] just wouldn’t give up the name.” “That would also be kind of tragic in light of recent events,” Porter added, making a jab about the injury deadmau5’s now-famous cat recently sustained. All kidding aside, though, as anyone who’s heard their music or been to their shows can attest, the group’s name fits their game. The Project Blue Book Tour has become nothing short of an invasion. After a successful U.S. trek during the winter months, the guys hit this year’s Miami Music Week with some spanking-new material. “We have five different tracks we’ve been playing out, especially for this Ultra Music Week,” Aero told us last month in Miami. “There’s a track named ‘Static’ and a track named ‘LFO Tool’ that we’ve been playing out every night.” Yes, you read that correctly, Tommy Lee and DJ Aero named a track after the audio plug-in tool developed by music mastermind (and longtime deadmau5 and Tommy Lee producer) Steve Duda. “I’ve been playing out two dubstep songs, one is called ‘The State,’ which is some libertarian bitchiness from me, and the other is called ‘Spit Fire.’ They’re just very high-energy, super aggressive dubstep songs,” Porter explained. “I’m also working this weird 100-beats-per-minute banger, which is very unusual. I don’t know many songs that are 100 beats per minute,” he continued. “It’s like slightly faster drumstep, and like slightly slower Justice music. It’s unique.” The trio of Tommy Lee, Porter and Aero, joined by Skrillex (with his infectious sound and obsessive following), have morphed into the one of the “it” acts to catch in 2011. But to paraphrase the old saying, behind all great men, is a great woman. In this case it’s Sofi Toufa , who tours and performs with the gang and has been making waves with her new Moguai collaboration on “Beat of the Drum.” So what’s it like for a girl in possession of one of the hottest voices in dance music to be on tour with all the boys? “Oh, ya know, it’s a little sweaty and smelly and stuff! No, it’s awesome. It’s fun, they’re awesome dudes!” Sofi gushed to MTV News about her Project Blue Book crew. “All these guys shower, which is awesome, so I’m really really happy about that!” “I’ve gotten told on more than one occasion that I smell good from Sofi,” Aero chimed in. “So I feel pretty good about it!” “I’ve gotten that too!” Porter added with a laugh. “It’s very practical; we hired her to get us cocky before our sets!” Unfortunately for Porter, he’ll have to find another morale booster as he says goodbye to Sofi, Tommy and Aero and hits the road with Skrillex and Zedd for the month long, 25-city OWSLA Tour, kicking off June 17 in Las Vegas.

Pharrell Williams , one-half of The Neptunes production team, celebrates his 38th birthday today. Pharrell may have only fully been part of the mainstream music consciousness for the last 10 years, but he’s been hard at work for nearly 20 years. Take a look back at some of Pharrell’s early work! In 1992, Pharrell wrote Teddy Riley ‘s rap in the hit Wreckx-N-Effect single “Rump Shaker.” The song sold over 2 million copies and hit number 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart. In 1992, Pharrell rapped on a rare remix of SWV’s “Right Here.” Part of his verse was later chopped up and used on the hit “Right Here/Human Nature” remix. Pharrell also co-wrote and co-produced Blackstreet’s 1994 single “Tonight’s The Night” featuring SWV and Craig Mack. Pharrell’s work with SWV continued on their 1996 single “Use Your Heart”, which Pharrell and his Neptunes cohort, Chad Hugo, wrote and produced. Pharrell and Chad Hugo co-wrote and produced Total’s single “When Boy Meets Girl” in 1996, which became a minor R&B hit. However, the distinctive Neptunes sound began to really take shape with Ma$e’s 1997 single “Lookin’ At Me.” The song was a top 10 hit and helped make Ma$e a household name. The Neptunes hit-making streak really kicked into high gear with Nore’s “Superthug,” released in 1998. From that point on Pharrell became unstoppable, helping produce, write, or remix songs for artists ranging from Jay-Z to Britney Spears to Ol’ Dirty Bastard to Prince, as well as his own solo album and the N*E*R*D projects. Pharrell also began nurturing talent, beginning with Kelis in 1999, whose first two albums were produced entirely by The Neptunes. Around the same time that Kelis’ debut album, Kaleidoscope , came out, Pharrell was working with Clipse on their first album, Exclusive Audio Footage , which remains unreleased to this day, though one single, “The Funeral,” was released from the project. The story of Pharrell and the Neptunes continues to this day as Pharrell has diversified his interests into clothing lines (Billionaire Boys Club), websites ( Kidult.com ), and furniture design. We look forward to all of Pharrell’s future projects! RELATED: Pharrell & Daft Punk “The Game Has Changed” [NEW MUSIC] RELATED: Was Pharrell Marching Like A Nazi On Stage? [VIDEO]
