Buzz Off Octomom, We Want Kate Gosselin!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:33:00 GMT

Poor Nadya Suleman. She inks a deal to have her own reality show, but nobody is biting. Why? Well, popping out a mega amount of children is just not enough these days. You have to have a big brood and a crumbling marriage, fraught with cheating allegations and betrayal. Then we'll be interested. Just ask Kate Gosselin.

Yes, it's true, Octomom has a proposed reality show, which would feature her daily challenges with raising her fourteen children, including her infant octuplets, as well as shows featuring important milestones of the kids. However, just one problem: so far, no networks have chosen to pick up the series.

So, Nadya, if you want to run with the big dogs, you may have to disclose some juicy tidbit, such as naming the father of your children, dating him, possibly marrying him, throw in some good old fashioned cheating, and then you may have a chance of hitting the big time like Kate Gosselin.

Jon & Kate - You Say She's Just A Friend

trix — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:01:00 GMT

Oh Jon Gosselin, if you weren’t doing anything wrong, you wouldn’t need to defend yourself so.

While Kate and the kids play on their vacation, Jon hung out with mystery women and then defended his actions to People Magazine.

Man, I hope this isn’t a publicity stunt.

Jon told People magazine, “The two women with whom I’ve been photographed are family friends – Lauren Glassman and Lauren’s daughter, Hailey. Lauren’s husband, Dr. Larry Glassman, performed Kate’s tummy tuck surgery, and since the surgery we’ve become friendly with the Glassmans.”

So, why is Kate on a “working vacation” and Jon on a regular vacation? Do they share time off? She gets to go on a book tour and then he gets to hang out with his friends.

So many questions so few answers.

Octomom Is Going To Be Rich!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:07:00 GMT

Remember when Nadya Suleman was on the Dr. Phil Show? She said putting her babies on TV would be exploiting them and she wouldn't do that. She, perhaps, rushed to judgment, because she's changed her mind - that reality show is now a reality! And, that's not all - Octomommy has a book venture in the works as well!

From PEOPLE:

Nadya Suleman, the mother of octuplets born Jan. 26, has inked a deal with the British production company Eyeworks, which plans to begin filming a reality TV series based on the controversial single mother and her 14 children.

"I'm really excited about moving forward with this," Suleman tells PEOPLE.

Suleman's attorney Jeff Czech calls the series a "quasi-reality" show, explaining that instead of having a dozen cameramen tromping around her house 24 hours a day, film crews will only document select milestones, such as birthdays and other special events.

"Nadya knows she has to do something," says Czech. "But she doesn't want the constant filming because she feels that would be taking advantage of her kids. She's trying to find the middle ground and feels this approach will work best."

At this time, Eyeworks has yet to sell Suleman's proposed shows to any TV networks in the U.S., and is currently planning on airing her programs on British TV, then bringing the shows to America. Czech also insists that his client doesn't want her series to resemble Jon and Kate Gosselin's show.

"She's been watching them a bit lately and thinks it's boring," says Czech.

This week Suleman also finalized a deal with ghostwriter Wendy Leigh – who recently wrote Life with My Sister Madonna with Christopher Ciccone – to pen her autobiography.

"Of all her projects, this is the one she's most excited about," says Czech. "She's really looking forward to telling her story and speaking out about how she was raised, how her children are feeling, what they are asking about and things about the donor dad."

I'm sure her tell-all will be full of ~~lies~~ great information, so we'll have a true picture of what her daily life with 14 kids is like.

Will people watch her show and read her book? Silver lining - at least she will have an income to care for her children!

Kate Gosselin & Octomom - Fight To The Pain

CONFIRMED: Octomom Gets Her Own TV Show!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 31 May 2009 14:06:00 GMT

It's been confirmed: Octomom Nadya Suleman inks a deal for her own reality show! Forget what she said about exploiting her babies - those 14 precious children are mama's paycheck!

From Us:

After weeks of meetings and negotiations, Suleman’s attorney Jeff Czech confirmed exclusively to Usmagazine.com that Suleman signed a deal Thursday night to star in her own reality series.

"[Nadya and the producers] are hoping to have an arrangement whereby several events in the children's lives would be filmed in a documentary series," Czech told Us.

“One of the events in the children's lives might be their first birthday.”

Describing the as-yet untitled show as a “quasi-reality TV series”, Czech said that the production company, Eyeworks, was moving ahead to make a deal with a network.

“They might be several shows aired during a year. There are all kinds of possibilities. It really depends on what the networks want," her lawyer said.

Czech declined to comment on how much Nadya would be getting paid for the deal, citing confidentiality.

“Her television program will not be like the Jon and Kate Plus 8 show,” said Czech. "[Nadya] is looking forward to providing her side of the story."

So, what's your stance on this? On one hand, if she's doing a show, then she's going to have an income to be able to support her kids. However, will people feel like she's exploiting her children (much like the public is thinking that the Gosselins are)? But, look at the alternative - Nadya sucking money from the taxpayers to support her babies.

The question is: Will you watch?

Octomom Recovering From Her Tummy Tuck

Sassy Smith — Sun, 24 May 2009 13:08:00 GMT

Did I say tummy tuck? I meant Octomom is recovering from her surgery to remove fibroid tumors from her uterus (code for tummy tuck). Nah, I'm kidding (I don't think I am). Hopefully she's back to giving interviews and shopping for expensive makeup and clothing, er, caring for her babies and getting her kids to school on time.

Nadya Suleman had two surgeries to remove uterine tumors and according to her attorney Jeff Czech, "She's fine. Everything went well, and she's recovering now."

Suleman did suffer from excessive bleeding and the first surgery had to be stopped before they could remove the fibroids. However, the second surgery was a success.

Her lawyer added, "I'm just happy that she is fine, and everything went well. She is going to be fine."

And I was just joking about the tummy tuck - I mean Nadya said she wouldn't need one anyway, because she's just going to do everything naturally. Plus, she's one of those women who can be pregnant with eight babies (and have several prior pregnancies, including twins) and have their stomach stretched beyond belief and everything just "snaps" back into place. Nadya said she'll be a size two in no time flat!

Right. I mean, yes! ~~Who is she kidding?~~

Sneak Peek! Jon & Kate Plus 8 Season Premiere

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 22 May 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Haven't got your fill of the Jon and Kate drama? You're in luck! Now you can see a clip of the season premiere. Most notably, the couple appear separately in the clip; a tense looking Kate expresses her feelings about her six youngest children turning five, and a weary-looking Jon hints at the couple's problems that have been dominating the tabloids.

"It gives me a heart attack thinking about it - my youngest kids are five years old," says Kate. "It's not just a birthday, I say that every year. It's a celebration of, 'We've made it five years.'"

But Jon is a bit more philosophical. "The world isn't about ratings and TV. It's about happiness and love and companionship and God," he says. "And, you know, I think we all get caught up in everything. Too much of anything is bad. Because I love my kids, I love my family and that's what it is.

"Kate and I obviously have been going through a lot of stuff and discussing what's best for our kids," Jon continues, obviously alluding to the scandals that have plagued their relationship of late. "What we said in the beginning -- it's a crazy life, but it's our life -- that's so true."

Poor Kate Gosselin! "Tabloids Turning My Life into Hell!"

Karl Erikson — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:35:00 GMT

Kate Gosselin says she's hit the breaking point with all the tabloid coverage of her and her husband, Jon's, lives. Living under the microscope is finally taking its toll.

"Before this, I'd never stood on line at the grocery store, looked at the people on the cover of magazines, and thought about what they're going through," Kate told People magazine. "I'd never thought, 'Oh my god, this is totally doing them in.' But now, I understand what they live with: Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed - it's hell, on the cover of a magazine."

While she says that she's an easy target for gobs of people dressing her up as a monster, she finally came to grips with the attention. "In the first two and a half years that we were doing Jon & Kate Plus Eight, I felt very ugly towards fans. The gawking, that sort of response creeped me out. I was not willing or ready to accept what you get back when you put your life out there," Kate says. "At some point, I turned around and I realized, 'Okay, people are pulling for us, the feel inspired by us, they love us. It clicked: without the fans there is no show, without the show, there is no job."

But nowadays? The tabloids are covering the not-so-niceties in Jon and Kate's lives: rumors of infidelity (on both sides), rumors of their marriage being a sham, even Kate's hideous hair makes headines. God knows why women are emulating THAT.

"It's so scary," Kate says. "It's like one of those movies where you have to change your identity and go underground. I've been saying, 'Let's find a country where our show doesn't air, and let's just go there until this all dies.' I have to laugh about this, or else I'll cry. It's a matter of, when will they stop?"

Kate is doing her best to grin and deal with the maelstrom surrounding her and Jon, but if you want to tick her off, all you have to do is attack the kids. "I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me. I'm far from perfect, but I've started to prioritize what is important. My children are important. My attitude is important. My marriage is important, and though I don't know where that's going right now, I know I can definitely choose my attitude. And I know that I will never give up, I will not stop, I will not fail my kids. Everything else I can't control, I'm just going to have to learn to live with it."

Brad and Angelina - Together in Cannes

trix — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:15:00 GMT

Brad and Angelina, together again in Cannes.

Take that all you haters! Who knows what's really going on in that relationship, they seem to be trying to keep their private lives private. Imagine that, they don't want everyone in their business. They won't let us in, we get mad and assume something is wrong.

Angelina arrived in Cannes one day after Brad and joined him for a late dinner with 60 of their closest friends. Why was Angelina late?

She attended a war crimes tribunal for Thomas Lugbanga, he's known fro making children as young as 11 become soldiers and/or sex slaves.

Yep, that's pretty important so I'm going to cut her some slack. Even if she is a jealous control freak. She actually cares about what's going on in the world around her.

Is Angelina Jolie just too exhausted and/or busy to make the trip to Cannes this year? If so, Quentin Tarantino is gonna be mad!!!

There has been so much speculation about Brad and Angelina's relationship that all the world will be waiting with baited breath to see if she shows up. If she does attend with Brad then every expression and nuance will be examined. If she doesn't attend then all the tongues will be wagging, she can't win for losing.

She may not attend because she is on location in Albany, filming the movie Salt, but that excuse will never fly with us gossipmongers.

Charlie Sheen Introduces World to Bob and Max!

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Here they are, the adorable Max and Bob Sheen, born March 15th with normal names. Freaky. The fraternal twins were 7 weeks' premature and they're doing just fine. Proud daddy Charlie Sheen and mommy Brooke Mueller Sheen talked about the boys and parenthood with In Touch.

"There are days I don't even want to go to work because I want to be with my family," Charlie, 43, said. The star of "Two and a Half Men" has battled drug addiction, sex scandals, and was once regular fodder for the tabloids. Course, that was 11 years ago. Nowadays, he's clean and sober and loving life.

Last May, he and Brooke got married. Aside from Max and Bob, Charlie has 3 other children - Daughters Cassandra, 24, Sam, 5, and Lola, 3-1/2.

Excerpts from the interview:

After three daughters, what’s different about sons:

Charlie Sheen: Not to be graphic, but this is my first time changing a diaper for boys. I’ve been peed on a little. Bob really impressed me - he hit the wall from two feet away. I was just glad I didn’t take it in the face!

Brooke Mueller Sheen: Charlie’s so great. He goes into the nursery, and he manages both of them. He’ll be holding one and have one in the baby seat, constantly looking back and forth.

CS: They’ve made me a better man. People think when they get married it will solve selfishness and be about the other person, but really that doesn’t happen until you have children.

On Brooke as a mom:

CS: She’s unbelievable. She’s so great, caring, focused, compassionate, loving and selfless and eager to be involved and to learn. Her mom instincts are all there. I knew when she was just my girlfriend how great she was with Sam and Lola. So, I’m not surprised she was amazing from day one. We are a perfect match.

On Sam and Lola as big sisters:

CS: They came to the hospital, they’ve been to the house, and they’re affectionate and curious. They think the babies are dolls, so we have to be careful with how they hold them and handle them.

On how he and Denise [Richards] are getting along now:

CS: We started noticing that when we get along, the kids are much happier. We had to do what’s best for Sam and Lola.

BMS: She is totally great, and it’s water under the bridge. Her daughters are blood relatives, and we want them to hang out with Max and Bob as much as possible.

On why they chose the names Bob and Max:

CS: I wanted to bring it back to basics. Their names aren’t even Robert or Maxmillian. If my children don’t like their names, they can always change them when they get older.

BMS: He was so into choosing the names for six months, I finally just said, 'Okay, you choose the names for both babies.' He was happy about that.

On the twins’ looks and personalities:

CS: Bob is the more demanding one. He’s not afraid to express his desires.

BMS: He lets you know when he wants to be rubbed, cuddled, held, eat. He also lets me know if I kiss him too much!

CS: Max is pretty laid-back. He will hang out in the corner. He doesn’t need all the attention yet, but that could change tomorrow. I’m happy they are fraternal. I didn’t want to not be able to tell them apart!

BMS: Bob looks identical to Charlie. And Max looks like [Charlie's dad] Martin.

On sleep:

CS: Sleep’s not as bad right now. I feel bad for Brooke because she has to get up and pump. But as a new dad, it’s hard to sleep through the night. I go in and check on everybody. I worry because that’s what dads do.

On Charlie’s past transgressions:

CS: My wild ways ended in 1998, so I’ve had over a decade of being a sober, contributing, law-abiding member of society. Sam and Lola were lucky they came into my life at a time when I was a lot more conservative, and the boys, as well.

BMS: It’s hysterical to me that he has this reputation. He’s such a family man. Charlie will still be the brunt of all jokes when it comes to hookers, but I’m not worried. It’s out of his system.

On balancing work with the boys:

CS: We finished our last taping a few weeks ago, so the timing worked out well. I was offered a few films recently, but I thought, I can’t abandon my family right now and go do something.

More kids?:

CS: I don’t know, we haven’t made any decision either way. We don’t think it would be fair to the boys right now to introduce another person into their lives so soon. You’ve got to focus on giving equal attention to both of them right now.

BMS: The pregnancy I had was so tough. Our children were born so early at just over 4 pounds, and it was really difficult and risky. I’m nervous to have another baby. I’d love to have a girl, but we’ll see.

Jon and Kate Gosselin Talk Exclusively to EW

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:36:00 GMT

Jon's having an affair, Kate's having an affair, the Gosselins are just a huge hot mess. And because of all the scandal surrounding the stars of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight," TLC is giving a full one-hour treatment to the season premiere of the show May 25. They'll be talking about how the tabloids have affected the Gosslins' marriage.

TLC says, ""We are in production for season 5 and moving forward as planned, while fully supporting the family and respecting their needs as they work through this challenging time. This show has always been about a real family dealing with real-life situations, and that will continue to be the case."

One of the big tabloid stories of late is that Kate is having an affair with her bodyguard, Steve Neild. Neild's employer denies the rumors, though. "Tabloid media is doing what people love it for doing; skewing information, misinterpreting, and embracing garbage and gossip. Steve Neild's and our firm's client relationships are, always have been, and always will be of the highest professional standard."

There will be 46 episodes of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" produced this year. EW got an exclusive talk with the reality TV couple. Here are some excerpts:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It seems like, sometime in the last year, your show jumped from the ozone to the stratosphere. Can you pinpoint the moment when it felt as if things had changed drastically?

KATE GOSSELIN: Last January, February of 2008. I remember one day it occurred to me that, Oh man, we are in this and we can never go back. It literally hit me.

EW: What do you think was happening at that time? When people started trying to get your picture?

KATE: That started a lot at the other house, every five minutes people would stop and take pictures, run up on our porch and take pictures while we were there. People would stop by to watch the kids play. Every week the bar got raised, and I remember thinking, When is this stopping? Because it was getting scary.

EW: Is it better with this large house?

KATE: Oh yeah, they sit out on the street all day and they're not really going to see much. I'm far back from the road and I'm safe.

JON GOSSELIN: You need a telephoto lens.

KATE: When I go through those gates, I'm good, and it's pretty weird because we're still just like a normal family, we're functioning as a family.

EW: Do you think you are any different now on the show than you were during the first season?

KATE: We're different, I mean it's been four years. Everybody changes. We as people are different, but I don't have time, really, to edit myself. I don't edit myself with anyone.

JON: It's real.

EW: Do you feel it's always been an accurate portrayal of you?

KATE: Yeah, generally speaking. It is real and it all occurred, however, I realize that my dramatic self doesn't bode well with people watching me. In the early days, it could have taken us two days to film one episode, but in 22 minutes you would see every meltdown I had, so it looked like I was melting down constantly - which happens, and I don't care. I really don't care that people see it. I am who I am and there's always going to be haters and there's always going to be lovers and that's just the way it is.

EW: Do the children seem more camera savvy today?

KATE: We just went to the Smithsonian, where a different camera crew sat them on a stool and asked them interview questions and they answered them in complete sentences, and appropriately. And I was like, "Wow!" I had tears in my eyes. They've grown up, obviously, and they're getting better at it.

EW: How does production work each week?

KATE: We film an average of three days. Sometimes they're here all day, or just two hours.

EW: Do you call this the house that TLC built?

KATE: No, I call this the house that Kate and Jon bought and we will pay for, for a long time. We've worked hard, just like everybody else. I wish TLC was paying for it, but that ain't happening. Our mortgage is large and hefty, and we have two mortgages, because we still can't sell the other house.

EW: The fourth-season finale played like a cliffhanger. Was there a chance you wouldn't come back?

KATE: Yes. All true.

EW: What happened?

JON: I just decided it was to benefit my kids, I really don't like the public life. There are a lot of positives, obviously.

KATE: Feeding the kids. College.

JON: Yeah, but the paparazzi thing and public eye, I don't like it at all. I still don't like it. I don't mind taking fan pictures and stuff like that, but it's strange to me, I moved back here to be away from that all, we're in the middle of the country, and now they're here taking pictures, everywhere.

EW: How long can you see yourself doing this show?

KATE: Don't say it. Hold that thought, we don't know.

JON: It changes.

KATE: We take one day at a time.

EW: Can life go back to normal after this?

JON: What do you consider normal?

KATE: That's when I said that day that I realized we're never going back. So that's good and bad.

JON: I could do [computer work] but not in the same realm that I did.

KATE: I don't ever want to go back. I'm very comfortable at this point in front of cameras, I love it, I go into a studio and I'm like, Ahhhh. It's odd, because I would have never thought that of myself. But I'm enjoying very much what I'm doing.

Octomom Doesn't Need A Tummy Tuck!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:05:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman says she doesn't need a tummy tuck. Oh no, she's going to do things as "naturally as possible." Plus, she's one of the lucky ones who get pregnant with eight babies, has their stomach muscles and skin stretched beyond belief, but, voilà, everything just snaps back into place. Amazing!

Remember that visual? While Nadya might get down to a size 2, there's no way that abdomen skin is going back to anything remotely normal. I may believe it did after her singleton births, heck, even after the twins, but after you have already had multiple pregnancies, then have an eight-baby pregnancy, there is no way on this earth her stomach is going to ever look like she doesn't need a tummy tuck. But, Octomom would apparently disagree with me.

She said, "I would never even accept a tummy tuck even if it were offered (I'm calling BS on that) because I don't need it. I'm actually shocked myself at my own body. My goal is to do things as naturally as possible."

Suleman claims she's had "absolutely no time to do anything yet," but no worries, she'll get things done eventually.

"I would like to join a gym," she says. "My friends have nicknamed me 'Rubberband' because after every singleton I had, within a month, I was back to a size 2. After the twins, it took me two months. Now, it's been three months, and I'm not a 2 yet. I'm only a 5 or 6, but I'll get there."

She wants to be small because it gives her "extraordinary energy."

Also, while speaking to RadarOnline.com, Suleman explains her obligation to use her "fame" for the good of her kids. Uh huh (Like a free tummy tuck... er, I mean diapers).

Octomom explained, "What's going on now is I feel obligated - almost compelled - to earn a living to take care of my kids (um, don't most people realize they need to earn a living to care for their babies? Is this woman brilliant, or what?). "I was kind of catapulted into this, oblivious to my choices (oh, you think?). Do I like attention (hell, yes!) - the inordinate attention that's not even warranted because I'm not a celebrity, a 'pseudo celebrity?' I don't. I absolutely ~~love it~~ don't. But I have to do what I have to do to take care of them."

I smell a tummy tuck coming.

Octomom Nadya Suleman, who is mom to fourteen, may or may not have planned to have more children (let's assume not, shall we?) - but the decision is no longer hers to make. She requires surgery that will make it virtually impossible for her to become pregnant, ever again.

Video link after the jump!

Nadya will be at Kaiser Permanente - same hospital she gave birth in - having benign fibroid tumors removed from her uterus, thus making it almost impossible for her to ever have more children. Let's hope she thinks fourteen babies is plenty anyway. She'll spend about a week recovering, and her children will be in the care of their nannies during that time.

Suleman said she's "terrified," and had a will drawn up. She even mentioned the "Christian couple" she has lined up as guardians in case something were to ever happen to her.

You can see Nadya's park visit with some of the kids and her discussion about the surgery.

She's annoying and sort of wacky, but I do hope the surgery goes well and she recovers quickly - those babies need their mom.

Boston Legal actress Julie Bowen has given birth to twin boys. But here's the shocking part: they've given the babies normal names. Bowen and her husband Scott Phillips welcomed little Gus and John early Friday morning, the actress' rep tells People magazine.

Is it even legal for celebrities to give their babies names that exist in the normal population? This may be grounds to take away her SAG card.

Bowen and Phillips, a real estate investor, are also parents to Oliver, 2

Octomom: Good Luck Finding My Baby Daddy!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:02:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman has said she used the same donor for all fourteen of her children, including the octuplets, and no matter how hard people try to find out who he is, she claims no one will ever know!

Video link after the jump

It was recently reported that employees of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center - where Nadya's babies were born - were disciplined (some fired) for snooping in Suleman's medical records. To date, 20 employees were caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

The mother of fourteen is challenging people to find out who the father of her children is, saying, "Go ahead people... try your best."

Nadya admits she had her doctor shred all of his information relating to the man who donated sperm for her kids. Is that allowed? Can a patient ask to have their information destroyed? Or did she get special treatment?

Suleman does says she hopes one day the father does come forward for the benefit of the kids. You can see her talk about it here.

Nadya, with a wee-bit of help from her 2-year-old son Caleb, bathed her preemies, who are looking very healthy and some even have big, plump cheeks! They are cute babies and it's nice to see they are thriving.

However, it is sort of weird that Suleman chooses to have cameras in her home, but perhaps she's preparing for her reality TV show?

PETA To Octomom: NO PETS!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 02 May 2009 14:10:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman said she was considering buying a pet, or two - a dog and maybe even a pig - for her kids, because caring for fourteen children, eight of them infants, is not time-consuming enough. May as well add to the chaos! However, there's one group that hopes to discourage Nadya from adding to her family - PETA.

Sort of like the crazy leading the crazy, isn't it?

PETA's Michelle Cho wrote a letter to Suleman, saying, "In today's uncertain economy - and with all the demands that comes with raising 14 children - we urge you to reconsider adding two more dependents to your family."

She added, "Like children, pigs and dogs are intelligent, social beings with complex needs. They require a lot of attention, space, and exercise as well as a huge financial commitment."

Suleman relies on public assistance to pay for her eight nannies - and other expenses - who help care for her octuplets and six older children. She said, "For a couple of years, the kids have been asking for a dog. I've actually been looking into a pig, like a little one." Nadya said she would put a diaper on the pig, and it would live outside since they tend to smell. Sounds like a great pet.

Her attorney, Jeff Czech, said the pet would be "probably a dog - probably a Shih Tzu."

Cho wrote in her letter, "Keeping a pig outside and making him or her a playmate for your children - who do not understand a pig's many needs and will only pay attention to him or her when it suits them - is not an acceptable way to treat an intelligent animal such as this."

The letter urges Octomom to get her kids to make friends instead. "We hope that your recent move to your new home will allow your children to form fast friendships with kids in your neighborhood with whom they share similar interests."

I'm not usually a fan of PETA - quite frankly, their tactics are often nutty if you ask me, however, they have a point on this issue. Nadya has fourteen children to raise - eight of them newborns - and I think she should perhaps, at least wait. I'm not saying her kids don't deserve a pet - pets can be a wonderful addition to any family - but, with the stress of caring for so many young children, maybe she should just hold off until the kids are a bit older.

Octomom Sings & Shows Off Her Babies! (VIDEO)

Sassy Smith — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:09:00 GMT

Nadya Suleman showed off her babies - they have certainly come a long way since their birth 3 months ago. Octomom also displayed her singing chops on video - suppose she'll try out for American Idol?

Video link after the jump!

Nah, she'll stick to singing to her babies (although, I've heard worse singers). Nadya Suleman, once again being filmed doing all those "mom" things that most of us like to do in private, showed off her octuplets, and how big they are getting. She also sang Rock A Bye Baby to the eight little ones.

While Octomom annoys me most days, it is nice to see how well her babies are doing. Great that they are thriving and growing!

Nadya did have a bit of drama at her home on Wednesday - Children Services were called, but all is well now.

Octomom's Son Has Black Eye & Bite Marks, Child Services & Detectives Visit Home

Sassy Smith — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:08:00 GMT

Octomom was paid a surprise visit on Wednesday, by Orange County Social Services Agency-Children and Family Services and two La Habra detectives. What happened?

According to Nadya Suleman, she suspects her son Aiden's teacher put a call into children's services because he went to school with a black eye and bite marks.

She told RadarOnline "he's autistic, he bumps into things." Nadya said her kids do sometimes bite each other and even she, as a child, was a biter.

Social Services spent forty-five minutes at the home and according to Nadya, they were "impressed by how organized everything was." Uh, ya, she has eight nannies!

Suleman admits the visit was her own fault - she apparently missed a note from her son's teacher asking about the mysterious bite marks on his back. She said there would be no further investigation from the agency or detectives.

Terry Lynn Fisher, spokesperson for the child services, said, "Always our goal is for families to stay together. Because of issues of confidentiality, state law precludes us from confirming or denying." Fisher did say that for them to make a home visit, a call must have been made concerning possible abuse or neglect.

Octomom Inked! Got Tattoo Number 8! (VIDEO & PHOTOS)

Sassy Smith — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:02:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman said she was going to do it and she did. The 33-year-old mother of fourteen, including 3-month-old octuplets, got her 8th tattoo. Where on her body did she get inked?

Video link and pics after the jump!

Suleman, who has seven other tattoos (although she wasn't willing to share much about them), wanted an eighth to honor her fourteen kids. You'll notice the time stamps on the video - this was done after midnight (good thing she's got all those nannies to care for the preemies during their night time feedings!) and took almost two hours.

I wonder who paid for the tat? Oh, right, she's making money from all of her "deals" and such. I'm not sure how much that particular tattoo would cost since I'm not an expert on the subject, but I would venture a guess - maybe $300? Few hundred clams would have bought quite a few diapers and maybe some formula. Just sayin'.

UPDATE: Nadya Suleman Shows Off The Octuplets

Sassy Smith — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:01:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman showed off her babies and her two, huge four-baby capacity strollers. She also updated on the health and weight of her octuplets - Noah, Maliah, Isaiah, Nariah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah, and Jonah. The babies are about to turn 3-months-old.

Video link after the jump!

Nadya speaks with RadarOnline and updates on the progress of her preemies. The youngest and smallest, Jonah, has now reached the 5lb mark!

The mom-of-14 admits she finds it difficult to spend time with all of them on a daily basis, saying, "I wish I could split myself into fourteen pieces." Ha, understatement of the year!

Check out the babies here!

Nadya Suleman said she gained 130 pounds with her octuplets, but no worries - she plans to be a size 2 once again. How exactly will she do that? Well, I would imagine caring for and chasing fourteen children is as good as any workout!

More pics after the jump

Octomom says she doesn't work out - she doesn't have time. Surprise, surprise! But, she's not worried about appearance or her weight right now, she has too much to focus on. However, she does hope to, at some point, get down to a size two again. Why?

"I have extraordinary energy when I'm small," said Nadya. She said her metabolism has sped up with each pregnancy. Ha! That's the secret then - tons of pregnancies/babies equals a great fat-burning metabolism.

I'm not a fan of Nadya's but I have to say she does look pretty good for someone who gave birth to eight babies just three months ago.

Octomom Trademarking "Octomom"

Sassy Smith — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:02:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman hates being called Octomom. However, that's not stopping her from trademarking the word "Octomom," so she can market specific products with that label! Oh let me tell you, this woman is not going away any time soon!

Nadya has filed forms to trademark her moniker in the hopes of marketing and selling diapers, dresses, pants and shirts with the word "Octomom" attached to the labels.

Suleman is wasting no time cashing in on her new-found fame since having her octuplets in January. She was hoping the media would just go away (sure she was), but since she can't escape the spotlight (has she even tried?), she's going to make the most of it. And besides marketing products, she's now decided to do a reality TV show (but she's not calling it a reality show - it's a documentary *cough*).

Jeff Czech, Nadya's lawyer, said, "Nadya has been interested in, and hoping to find, something not so intrusive to the family and babies while, at the same time, [something to] sort of focus on trying to make a little income for herself."

I'm torn - I want her to go away, but if she does, and tries to live a "normal" life, there's no possible way she'd be able to support her fourteen children, and would, most likely, end up on welfare, and the public would foot the bill. Yet, the more attention she gets, the more it seems to feed her narcissism and then she becomes really, really unlikable.

So, new show, and new products on the way - will you watch her "documentary" and buy her merchandise?

Octomom: Baby # 8 Home & Look At The Size Of Her Stroller!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:03:00 GMT

Octomom Nadya Suleman has welcomed home seven of her eight babies, and now Jonah, the last of the octuplets, has joined his siblings! Dr. Mandhir Gupta, neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, said, "Baby Jonah is doing very well. In fact, he's thriving. He's getting stronger with each passing day."

Jonah weighed just 1 lb., 8 oz. at birth but has tripled his weight and was healthy enough to go home. He has a cleft lip that will be repaired in a few months, according to his doctor, who said it will be done "as an outpatient in a few months." Babies who require such a surgery, are usually 3 months of age and at least 10 pounds.

Before Jonah's arrival, Nadya was busy with her other 13 children and even ventured out with 10 of them on Sunday, April 12. She did have two strollers that are big enough to accomodate four babies and her mom and a nanny were along to help.

Octomommy is going to be really, really busy soon - she's set to star in her very own ~~I'll exploit my kids for money~~ reality TV show.
