Playboy cover girl Aubrey O’Day celebrated her birthday at JET in Las Vegas last night, and spent some time grinding all over poker player David Williams, who seemed to be the closest thing to a celebrity there.

Also present: Her mother, whom I will be pointing out to my mother every time she is embarrassed that her daughter writes a celebrity gossip blog. See, Mom? I could be posing for Playboy while my music career is failing.

Also: WHERE IS HER DOG????

Aubrey’s Playboy cover has hit the Internets early — what do we think?

I’ve actually always thought Aubrey has a super-bangin’ body — it’s just everything above the neck that throws it off. But at least they’ve seemed to Photoshop her hair so that her extensions aren’t grossly obvious.

What do we think? Hot or not?

And is there an interview?

This image was the first thing my eyes focused on after rolling out of bed this morning.  If you applied for the weekend writing gig here at Evil Beet, you need to be aware of the occupational hazards.  It’s all fun and games until Linda Hogan has her support hose and pigtails on.  As if I wasn’t embarrassed enoughfor Linda , there’s a picture in the photo gallery of her kissing her stud.  She doesn’t need to read He’s Just Not That Into You, nor does she need to see the movie.  That picture is worth six words, Linda.  Pay attention.

Anyway, all the celebs are hanging around Park City, Utah, for the Sundance Film Festival.  Paris has been hanging around with Aubrey O’Day and her dog purse.  I can’t decide which accessory I find more offensive.  Christie Brinkley has been rejoicing with all her free stuff and Kevin Bacon has perfected his “I’m broke” face.  Danielle Fishel, super cute as Topanga on Boy Meets World, looks like a former Miss America and Zoe Kravitz goes to the top of my “Most Beautiful People Ever” list.

Well I’ll be!

I never thought I’d see the o’day!

Aubrey O’Day will be the cover girl for the March issue of Playboy.

“I’m honored to be a part of the Playboy legacy and look forward to my March cover hitting newsstands on February 13,” she says in a statement.

Seriously you guys if you live in the LA area and you’re going to need any airbrushing done in the next month or so, I strongly recommend you get it done PRONTO, because everyone in Southern California who’s ever even illegally downloaded a copy of Photoshop will soon be employed by Playboy Enterprises to work on this spread.

Okay, okay. I can’t really be too harsh on Aubrey for her tendency to suck face with her dog on the red carpet. I make out with my dog all the time. People think it’s really gross. One of my friends was like, “Um, no wonder you don’t have a boyfriend. I wouldn’t wanna kiss you if I saw you do that with your dog.” Needless to say, she and I don’t talk anymore.

Making out with your dog is totally in right now.

So is lesbianism, apparently, and Aubrey O’Day is the latest pseudo-celeb to jump on the girl-jumping trend that La Lohan made famous earlier this year. She’s shown up to events lately — and is getting awful cozy — with a female companion. When E! asked her about her dating life, she said she was seeing someone. When asked if that someone was a woman, she said “You never know!”

You’ll also recall that we caught Aubrey sucking face with fellow fame-whore and vagina-haver Lydia Hearst this summer.

Lesbian lovers are totally the new rehab. I guess no one told Tara Reid.

Aubrey O’Day volunteers to serve Thanksgiving dinner at the New York City Rescue Mission.

I mean, really, people, let’s think this through.

Wednesday night, she was at the New York Public Library.

And Thursday night, she showed up at an event at the American Museum of Natural History.

If she sets foot in the Met on Friday night, I’m going to alert the authorities.

Because I really can’t think up any other reason for Aubrey O’Day to want to be surrounded by so much information.

Aubrey O’Day may have been kicked out of Danity Kane, but she’s not going to let that stop her from wandering around the New York social scene in all sorts of unconscionable outfits.

On Wednesday night, she hit up the Readers Choice Awards at the New York Public Library. Wearing that. She also posed a bit with my new girl-crush, Katrina Bowden.

Aubrey’s officially been kicked out of the group.

What blows my mind is that the remaining DK girls probably think this is a good thing for them rather than the end of their careers and the beginning of Aubrey’s solo career. Because, ya know, that’s totally what it is.

Is that a nipple or what?

I can’t tell.

It almost looks painted or something.

At the Body of Lies premiere.

Also: Has she had work done on her face recently or am I imagining things?

Heh.

So I’m making out with my dog the other day and one of my girlfriends is like, “Dude, look, someone has to tell you this: If I were a guy, I wouldn’t want to kiss you — ever — after watching you do that. You should know that.”

But whatever.

I’d rather get it on with my dog than some loser guy. At least I know Leo won’t finish before I do. He’s neutered, you know.

Here’s Aubrey getting sloppy with her puppy at an event for Sheiki at The Ivy in San Diego.

Here’s Hayden Panettiere hosting a Declare Yourself event in LA, hoping to get young voters registered and motivated to pull a lever in November.

Also there: Aubrey O’Day, which doesn’t make a lot of sense until you know that she was told the event aimed to increase votership for Dancing with the Stars.
