As anticipated, Nadya Suleman — a.k.a. California’s Octomom — says she is in serious talks with a U.K.-based production company to do a docu-series that would air on TV overseas. Suleman told Life & Style magazine that she would allow the British arm of the independent production company Eyeworks to film her brood six times a year. "What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18," she told the magazine. Eyeworks chief executive officer Reinout Oerlemans would only say the company is in "exclusive negotiations" with Suleman for "an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children."

Jamie Foxx apologizes to Miley Cyrus on Jay Leno
Actor Jamie Foxx, who’d recently insulted Miley Cyrus on his Sirius satellite radio show, made a public apology to the 16-year-old superstar when he visited Jay Leno last night on The Tonight Show. "I so apologize to [Miley], and this is sincere," the Oscar winner told Leno. "I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far."
Popeater.com has the video.
Last weekend, listeners of The Foxxhole heard Foxx, who has a teen daughter of his own, make fun of Cyrus’ physical appearance and advise her to "get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat."
"I have a radio show," Foxx continued on Leno, apparently not feeling obliged to apologize to Spears or Lohan. "We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart."
