I wonder if Nadya Suleman, the 33-year-old woman who gave birth to octuplets (which now puts her kid count to 14), expected all the media attention (and for the record, not all of it good) that she's now getting? After giving her first interview with NBC's Ann Curry, some are claiming she must have an Angelina Jolie obsession. Does she?
Does Suleman have some sort of compulsion to be like Angelina Jolie? It's been speculated that Nadya's even had plastic surgery on her face - she does sort of resemble Jolie, with the pillowy lips and a similiar nose. And, as is quite evident, she likes having lots of kids. Although to be fair to Angelina, she hasn't had 8 babies at once and even if she did, she could at the very least, pay for them.
When I first heard (and then wrote) about this story, I thought, like a lot of others, what a heartwarming situation it was. A woman (who, some people, myself included) assumed must not have been able to have children (imagine the shock when we all learned she has six other children!), but then with the help of IVF treatments, was given 8 miracle babies. Oh how things change.
Nadya Suleman has a very long, hard road ahead of her. I just hope her children don't have to pay the price for that (I'm doubtful though). She says she's neither irresponsible or selfish. I think she's very much both.
