Octo-Mom's Reality Show

Nadya Suleman, the mother of 14, has signed a deal for a reality Television show. From the creators of "The Biggest Loser" and "Beauty & The Geek" comes a show about the life of the mother, her 8 newborn children, plus the other six children.

Cameras will not follow Suleman 24/7. Suleman will do some of the camera work herself. So, in addition to taking care of 14 children, she will also be a videographer.

I suppose 14 children isn't enough to keep her busy.

To paraphrase someone: Is This What It Boyles Down To?

The headline entry says it all:

British singing sensation Susan Boyle offered $1 million to star in porn flick

All I can say is... Susan, don't!

Incidentally, Nadya "Octomom" Suleman was also offered $1 million to star in a porn flick.  She declined, but trademarked the moniker "Octomom" for use in a line of clothes and diapers.

Big Families Are In!

Angelina Jolie, Jon & Kate, and Nadya Suleman are not the only people with large families!  Madonna is going to adopt another baby from Malawi.  She has two biological children: Lourdes (born 1996) and Rocco (born 2000), in addition to David Banda (born 2005), the Malawian baby she adopted in 2006.

Home At Last

I for one am pleased that Nadya Suleman is moving into a new house. It's common knowledge that her current residence, which she shares with her parents and six children, is about to be foreclosed on because her mother was $23,225 behind in mortgage payments.

The new house is in La Habra, a city in the northwest corner of Orange County, California, and was listed for $564,000. It has four bedrooms in its 2,583 square feet. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet. No word yet on how exactly it was financed, much less how room sharing is going to be decided or if the walk-in closet will be used as a bedroom.

Also, she's going to get substantial help raising the children from the non-profit organization Angels in Waiting.

Meanwhile, Nadya Suleman's publicist quit last Friday, citing disagreements with the Sulemans. Victor Munoz, who said that the Suleman family "totally depended" on him, was the second publicist to quit; the first publicist quit after receiving death threats.

Hospital may not release octuplets

Nadya Suleman says the hospital may not release her eight babies to her unless she finds a better living situation. They're worried that the unemployed mom's home is too small for 14 children and 3 adults. It sounds like if the hospital thinks the home situation is not fit for the children, then they call Child Protective Services.

Clearly, this woman needs some cash fast if she wants to find a huge home for her family. Maybe she can go on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.' She had some time to think about this large family before giving birth. She already had 6 and lets say she was only adding 4 as opposed to 8, Suleman had to have know that 10 or 14 kids would be a lot in a small home that's on the brink of foreclosure. Was she even thinking about these children or just her own needs?

Octo-Mom: how to care for 14 children

Nadya Suleman is home caring for her six children and getting ready for 8 to come home. The single mom without a job has also been doing a lot of interviews. In the latest one to The Sun, Suleman says she still can't wrap her head around how she'll get 14 children to the park (I'd say that's the least of her problems.) If she's looking for insight, some moms of multiple births offered some tips.

They say the donations dry up after the first year as the newness wears off, the media doesn't call anymore and you're left with the financial stress of raising 14 children. A study of 250 mothers of multiple births in the U.S. found that with each additional child, mom's ability to meet her children's basic needs diminished.

Now that the shock has worn off, maybe we can all offer Nadya Suleman some constructive advice.

Octuplet Names Revealed

Bravely overcoming the challenge of thinking of eight names for her octuplets, Los Angeles-area resident Nadya Suleman has chosen mostly Biblical names: Maliah, Noah, Jonah, Isaiah, Nariah, Jeremiah, McCai, and Josiah.

Have you ever wondered how many people have the same name as you? Howmanyofme.com attempts to answer that question (with a long, and slightly humorous, caveat).
