Former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Brandi Glanville and Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day have signed on to the cast of E!’s latest reality venture, Famously Single. The show features Brandi and Aubrey, along with other “celebrities” (and I use that term very loosely), moving in together to work with a therapist. The participants try to uncover the reasons they can’t win at the game of love. Other castmembers include former NFL running back Willis McGahee, Love and Hip Hop’s Somaya Reece, Josh Murray from The Bachelorette and models Jessica White and Calum Best. That’s a whole lot of “Who?” for me and the show sounds kind of dreadful. I mean, check out the trailer and try to keep up with it all:
All I took away from that was how much I miss The Soup. In promoting the upcoming series, Brandi and Aubrey spoke with E! News about why they decided to take part in the show – besides the paycheck. Aubrey said she wanted to “see if we could get help on this little thing we call love.” Here’s what else they had to say:
What were the mistakes that you found yourself making over and over again?
Brandi: I think that for both of us, our pickers are off, we tend to chose people that might not be great for us over and over and over again.
Aubrey: Not paying attention to red flags… when you chose to get lost in the idea vs. the reality you can have a hard time finding someone that’s right for you. A million other things distract… great sex, things in common, friendship, a partner to live life with. All those things can overshadow the main point of the person really not being right for you.Do you both find that great sex blinds you to all of the other red flags?
Brandi: It really does. I can’t quit you, you know what I mean. He’s throwing down in the bedroom, it’s all good. Then you date another guy and [he doesn’t compare].
I don’t think Aubrey got her “picker” working while on the show, as you could see briefly in the trailer and as we’ve reported before, Aubrey hooked up with cast mate Pauly D. And, despite a brief break-up, they’re still together. That’s a match made in reality trash heaven. Aubrey has been posting photos of with Pauly on her Instagram, including one in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend, looking every inch like “White Trash Barbie and Ken.”
As for Brandi, she was briefly kinda, sorta linked to Calum while the series was being filmed – you can catch a quick shot of them smooching in the trailer. More recently, Brandi got together with comedian Theo Von. A quick check of her Instagram reveals a ton of selfies, but no photos with Theo, so maybe they’re not an item anymore. She did post a photo a few weeks ago getting cozy with Leann Rimes’ ex-hubby Dean Sheremet.

That pic of all of them sitting in a row is scary. So. Very. Plastic
It’s like an alien invasion!
The one on the far left looks like an actual blow up doll.
She really does, @Annie! That lineup is like a budget Real Doll catalog.
Snoop wants to git wit Brandi. So there’s that.

Really? Like the person, or the drink?
Oh snazzy you never cease to make me giggle! Great call.
isn’t Calum Best the one who dated Lindsay Lohan during her early stages of crazy? I think that’s where I remember his name from…
They can’t expect to find quality men when they’re trashy inside and out.
Aubrey could have been much bigger than she is because she has an okay voice, can dance and was naturally pretty once upon a time. But she wanted to be a Playmate and messed with her face.
Brandi is just nasty.
Gee, ya think? Lol. Aubrey hooking up with Pauly D, girl, what is wrong with you? Are you trying to pick up an STD? I highly doubt Pauly D uses condoms, he looks like that kind of irresponsible guy. She has really low standards. Aubrey looks really fake and Barbie doll like in that selfie, is it plastic surgery or editing? I kinda wanna watch this show, not gonna lie.
He’s actually not an awful guy. If you saw the last awful mean loser she was with on whatever rehab married show they did, God that dude was AWFUL. Pauly is a male slut for sure, but he’s not a total douche like the rest of the trashies you see. He’s kind of nice to women, beyond the playboy.
This doesn’t even look like good tv. I wish Brandi wouldn’t have a platform in reality tv anymore, she’s so tired. The last thing she needs to do is look for love on tv. The therapist she could use.
Let’s face it, this show looks awful.
That looks like Jessica White. I always wondered why she didn’t go further in the modeling world.
OT: well they say knowing is half the battle.
Is she completely festooned with dream catchers?
I sincerely forgot that Aubrey O’Day existed.
This show will likely be a mess, like most reality TV. But any exposure for Brandi leads to more showing off nonsense from her ex and his wife, which could be entertaining.
Well if the low amount of comments made about this story is any indication on how well this show will do…..
