Her neighbor in back would like that if she was literally taken by the Brits.. he's been quoted as saying there is noise from early morning to late at night since they moved in, like a day care and more.. and he isn't keen on having film crews show up. I gather the city of La Habra has to ok any filming.

Jimmy Kimmel, I think, had a very funny bit about this. He said the show needs to be called, "Help! I'm an Octuplet, Get me Out of Here!" and it will feature midget celebs trying to extricate themselves from Ms Suleman's uterus. At this moment, Kimmel said, Webster is lubing up Mini Me in advance of the show.

Headline News has a blurb on Nadya right now..

Ocotomom: "I screwed up my life"
Suleman admits "guilt" over huge family.

Now saying that she deceived the father, she has regrets, and doesn't know what to do

Huh.. I think she already used the "Dr. Phil help me card" and the "Angels in Waiting card". And the "Please send money website" card.

"I screwed up my live. I screwed up my kids' lives. What am I gonna do. I have to put on this strong facade and I have to pretend like, oh, I don't regret it. I can't regret it now, 'cause I love them, they're here. What What was I thinking?"

She is saying she coerced the mystery man who fathered all 14 kids into being the sperm donor in the first place.

"He was upset when he found out they were frozen. He didn't give consent for that, and then I went behind his back and I used them all. He didn't want me to. So I still feel guilty; I feel so much guilt for that. "

At least she is admitting it.

Oh broooother! She will do anything to get a headline. Jon & Kate are stealing her thunder as far as she is concerned. She is going to show just how bananas she is and they will take all the kids away from her.

Oh boo-hoo. No doubt there's an agenda behind that "admission". I'm guessing the TV show deal fell through.

We can only hope, Supergranny, but if people don't know she's bananas already, they never will.

New little article in our paper today:

State hits Web site for taping octuplets

Los Angeles. A Web site's deal to document the lives ofNadya Suleman and her octuplets came with a hidden risk: Regulators charged Tuesday that two of the newborns were endangered by long hours and oor supervision under the eye of a video camera.

The violations deal with a single day, March 17, and two of the newborns, Noah and Isaiah Suleman, who were the first of the octuplets to be brought home from a hospital to La Habra.

Celebrity-hunting Web site RadarOnline said in a statement that it was conducting a news-gathering operation and was not required to obtain permits or restrict its hours of operation.

Legal or not, Nadya wasn't protecting her babies? That doesn't look good.

I was a bit surprised to see that article so long after the fact, but glad someone is calling RadarOnline to account.

This may have been in the works and why Nadya wants to limit filming to certain events.. for two different reasons (only imo, of course).. one because that way she's not under quite as much scrutiny but also because of course hopefully that would reduce the stress on the little ones not having cameras around so much. But, who knows.

March 17 was hellish, the first two babies coming home, paparazzi everywhere, even a helicopter, all the news casters on the lawn, Gloria Allred in the house, Nadya fighting with Gloria and the Angels, the paps breaking the garage door down, cameras in the faces of the two little boys who were first to come home, Nadya throwing her mom out.. just a total whirlwind.

But that day, yeah, there wasn't much in the way of protecting going on and there have been other incidents but at least for now it seems to have tapered off, in the paper. I haven't followed that website so not sure if she is still blogging or not.

Nadya signs kids up for reality show at $250 per kid per episode (15% mandated into trust for each child to be accessed at age 18 or when emancipated)

LINK

LOS ANGELES - Octomom and her fourteen children will be coming soon to a TV screen near you, if a judge approves contracts for each of the underage Sulemans to appear in a new reality show. Nadya Suleman has signed agreements for each of her children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality television show. The documents, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, guarantee the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years.

European production company Eyeworks has inked the deal with Suleman. Eyeworks lists 'Breaking Bonaduce' and 'The Biggest Loser' among its television credits.

Octuplet mother Nadya Suleman underwent her second surgery in four days Monday that will make it unlikely that she will ever have more children, according to Radaronline.com. Suleman had benign muscular tumors removed from her uterine wall. The first surgery last week had to be suspended because of excessive The show is slated to begin filming Sept. 1, according to the documents.

The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman's kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate.

The contract also states that 15 percent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a "Coogan Trust Account," as required by California law. The monies can't be touched until the children turn 18 or become legally emancipated.

A call to Suleman's lawyer Jeff Czech was not immediately returned Friday afternoon. He has said previously that the family has hired an entertainment lawyer and established a trust for her children, ages eight and under.
Suleman and a Website that shot video of her children have faced allegations of labor abuses in recent months.

State regulators brought four citations against Web site RadarOnline for their video taping of the first two octuplets to go home from the hospital. The state Labor Commissioner said the Web site failed to get required state permits, videotaped the infants at hours and for periods that were illegal and failed to provide a child monitor during the tapings.

A hearing is scheduled on Monday in Orange County Superior Court, in the lawsuit brought by attorney Gloria Allred. Allred asked for a labor investigation and the establishment of a trust for the children on behalf of former child entertainer Paul Petersen, president of a group dedicated to the protection of child performers.
Suleman gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets on Jan. 26. The medical curiosity of their delivery turned to public outrage when it was learned that the single, unemployed mother had been caring for her six other children with the help of food stamps and Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters. Suleman said previously that some of the disability money was spent on in vitro fertilizations, which was used for all 14 of her children.

A phone call placed to Netherlands-based Eyeworks Holding B.V. Friday evening rang unanswered.

Hopefully it won't get picked up? Probably naive of me to think that.

Link near that article talked of a recent 911 call from Nadya saying a 2 year old boy (presumably one of the twins) had possibly consumed something bad for him and 911 was called. 911 seems to be her "go to" number.

I did the math, curious about what each child would end up with in the trust fund. Fifteen percent of $250,000 is $37,500 divided by fourteen kids is $2679 each. For three years of filming, that works out at $893 a year! I was horrified!

I think it's $250 per day of filming with only 30 some-odd filming days per year for 3 years? Let me dig it up. The part that got my attention was that only something like 18% of the money has to be left in trust for the kids, the rest (I assume) can be used at the parent's discretion.

Here ya go: Octomom inks deal for kids. It's 15% that needs to be put into trust, that really irks me. So a parent can blow the other 85% as long as they can even remotely connect it to the kids care? How about making their own income?

"children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years. "

I am assuming the 250,000 is the 15% of the total earned

250,000 div by 14 = 17,857 each kid!!!! that is nothing!

On the other hand 85% of the money going to 1 mom is lots of money!

Pamy, I'm betting more than 1 attorney will be grabbing a large share of Nadya's portion.

Although, wouldn't that $18 thousand per child become a tidy amount with the interest after 18 years?
