Octomom lands TV, book deals

Tags:

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????

  • Kate-Jon-Octomom Sandwich

    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…

  • Er…

    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.

    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?

    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!

  • DeborahB

    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

  • Julia

    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?

  • Kareen

    Don’t like? Don’t watch!!!!!
