Nadya Suleman, who became a tabloid star after giving birth to octuplets earlier this year, has landed a deal to appear in a reality TV show, People.com is reporting. The show, which will document key moments in the lives of the single mom and her 14 children, will be produced by British production company Eyeworks. So far no U.S. network has purchased the show.
Earlier this week, Suleman announced plans to publish her autobiography, co-written with Wendy Leigh, who co-authored Life With My Sister Madonna, by Madge’s brother, Christopher Ciccone.

and people complain about The Gosselins????
She should move in with Jon and Kate!
EVERYONE loves them! Both Jon and Kate and the Octomom are obsessed with being celebrities for doing nothing noteworthy, so it would be a win-win scenario.
How awesome and worthy of are unwavering attention would that be?
What a train wreck! And it looks like she has some competition: a 29 yo dude in TN has 21 kids.

I hope Octo-mom is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame. Lord knows I can’t wait for it to be over…
That should be “our” not “are”…
The correct spelling for the author who Nadya has signed with is Wendy LEIGH not “Lee”. You might want to correct this because there IS another author with the spelling of her last name “Lee” who certainly isn’t the one who signed with Nadya.
Here’s the correct author

Reality TV is no longer in any way shape or form real.
My money is on TLC to buy this crap of a show…

I can’t imagine the sensible, frugal Brits wasting time and money on Octomom. For a show to go on you need advertisers. There are no advertisers in the U.S. that will touch Octomom with a ten-foot pole. Octomom is the only mother of multiples that did not receive FREE diapers, formula, clothes, vans, groceries. So, who is going to sponsor this slut?

Aggghhhhh….er…..uuuuhhhhh…er….uuuuuugggghhhhh….yuuuuucccckkkk…..pooooo……uuuuuhhhh……er……aaaaaaggggghhhhhhh……
I wish she would move to England. She is too much of a publicity hound and doesn’t seem to spend much time being a Mother!
Oh. God. No.
Puhlease!!! No more crappy reality t.v shows showing the in’s and out’s of yet another z lister!From all that I’ve read about octomum it sickens me that she’s been allowed to keep the kids – the other 5 were allegedly mainly brought up by their gran without any financial assistance from octomum!!
The fact she was permitted to have the ivf or whatever treatment to get pregnant again whilst not supporting her other 5 kids is criminal! From the amount of doctors and nurses who had to be on hand just at the birth, it turned the U.S medical system into a 3 ring circus!! I’m surprised if she was treating her mother and other 5 kids so badly that something wasn’t done to remove them from her custody! The woman’s a nutter set to make millions from endorsement deals for all sorts of baby companies (the payments should actually be handed over to pay the debts incurred for medical costs, then kept for when her octuplets are 21 in trust for them!She shouldn’t get anything!!)!Angelina’s bad enough
Good. Maybe then people will realize that she can’t handle those kids and find some place better for them. Seriosly, if the Gosslin’s are being investigated for going against child labor laws, what’s this show going to expose?
Don’t like? Don’t watch!!!!!
This ugly, sad, worthless woman is an opportunist. I truly believe she impregnated herself with 7 eggs hoping it would lead to a financial cash cow, just as she did with work comp and welfare/medicaid. Why is the state of California providing FREE nursing services at the expense of the taxpayers while she shops for clothes and gets her nails done, when she stands to make a whole lot of money on book and TV deals? Why isn’t the state investigating this? What a pathetic human being!!!
Wow, this should be entertaining (NOT). No one who can read above a first grade level would buy Suleman’s book, so I hope the “author” can really dumb it down. But then again, what so-called writer with the brains of a gnat would touch Suleman, that fugly, idiotic monstrosity, with a ten-foot pole. The writer is undoubtedly as dumb as No-Brains Nadya, so she probably writes at about the second grade level, so she can just do what comes naturally. Ms.Leigh (or Lee) must be real bottom-feeder, a “journalistic” (and I use the word loosely)equivalent of Czech, and if she had a career, she’d be killing it by dealing with the most hated woman in the world. As for the “reality” show, it won’t have any big-money sponsors and few watchers, Nadya is simply too darned ugly, bizarre, stupid, and disgusting. And I thought the American media was stupid!!! Gawd Save the Queen.
Wow I’m a single mom, where’s my reality show?? I actually deserve it since I’ve busted my ass to put food on the table for my kids.
Dear God, please please PLEASE don’t let any US networks jump on this train wreck. That would be the ultimate sign that the US media truly believes America has no taste or sense left at all. Which might very well be true, if one judges by what is being broadcast on the MTV Movie Awards (which USED to be funny and hip) right now. After only 15 minutes I had to turn it if off — the host is totally unappealing, the “jokes” unfunny and totally tasteless, the production a mess, and the entire show nothing more than a non-stop plug for its sponsors. Let’s hope the entire viewing public had enough sense to exit just as quickly as Eminem did, right after Sacha Baron Cohen landed cod-piece first on his face. Yuck!
Do not watch this or Jon & Kate. We are on the road to making abuse and make believe into a growth industry. Boycotts and outcries please!
I think that Octomom does a great job of providing contrast into our lives. One one hand we have Barack and Michelle Obams, we just got a rare sight of Prince Harry growing up elegantly like his mother and we have many other people who inspire us to be better people. Octomom is no more than a glimpse into the darker psyche of the mind. It is good to see it and good to stay as far away from it as possible……and the choice is ours…we can watch her new show and read her new book and fuss about her or…..we can ignore her and she will fade…..
I encourage everyone to contact Eyeworks and tell them what a huge mistake they are making.
I thought Octomom was going to do porn movies?
Another interesting article below about Suleman and this whole crazy story!

poor kids. must suck to grow up with tv cameras constantly in your face. I personally don’t agree, what happened to privacy?
If there is any justice in the world, this tragedy will not be duplicated on American, or any other country’s, television.
…and now would be a good time for CYS to take her kids away and find decent homes for them. It’s high time there were laws against mass birthing as an entertainment investment.
And this is what the matter is with society today….be a irresponsible jerk get a “reality show”..pathetic
This stuff will continue as long as the public tunes in. Everybody should boycott this nonsense.
Are you people crazy, no one wants to see her. I wouldn’t watch anything she was on.
