Aubrey talked HIV/AIDS, Danity Kane, LGBT following, man advice, fried Oreos and her charity she is currently playing for on Celebrity Apprentice, GLSEN.

Also, one of my favorite people, Sheryl Lee Ralph chatted with us about her new book Redefining Diva: Life Lessons From the Original Dreamgirl, which is available tomorrow.  I’ve read the book from cover to cover and it’s a must-have.  She tells stories of Nina Simone, Nell Carter, how she helped create Dreamgirls from scratch, HIV/AIDS devastating New York in the 80′s, why she left Brandy‘s Moesha and more.  Listen to both links below!

Aubrey O’Day interview and sounding off on last week’s Norm Lewis interview.

Also, Norm Lewis, who is destined to receive a Tony nod for his performance as Porgy in Porgy and Bess on Broadway, was also a guest.  He clearly has some fans at WWRL — listen below!
