Nadya Suleman

Seven down, one to go.

The last of the famous octuplets born to Nadya Suleman - a boy born at just 1 lb., 8 oz. - has tripled in weight and is getting close to being able to go home.

"Jonah is doing very well. He's thriving. He's getting stronger each day," said Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center.

Jonah has grown to 4 lbs., 6 oz. since his birth Jan. 26 with seven other babies, who have since gone home to their mother, Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. Octomom.

The octuplets have six older siblings. Octomom has no job.

Jonah "needs time to continue to grow," Gupta says, but he's headed home soon. All the better to get him on TV for the Octomom reality show she craves so bad!

Octomom is totally full of $h!t when she says she's not doing a reality show - sources say she's been in talks with producers as recent as ... well, yesterday.

No deal has been struck, however, at least not yet.

Amazingly, Octomom told producers she wants to limit face time for the babies - but not because she actually cares. She just took a lot of heat from Kaiser Permanente after she allowed the media virtually unlimited access to the kids.

We can only hope some network will be desperate enough to give her a show. First, so the taxpayers can get some temporary relief from supporting her, and second, for the inevitable Octomom vs. Gloria Allred cage match.

Following reports that Nadya "Octomom" Suleman has made a deal to star - along with her eight newborns and six other young kids, of course - in a reality show, attorney Gloria Allred reluctantly offered her take on the stiry.

Allred said that when Angels in Waiting USA - the nursing organization she worked with to help Nadya Suleman - visited Octomom's house, "it appeared that Nadya treated her babies as props ... as part of a TV set for those filming her."

According to Gloria Allred, there are two different Octomoms.

"When cameras were not rolling she was altogether absent for large blocks of time and never volunteered to feed the babies herself," recalls Allred, who said Suleman asked AIW many times about agreeing to a reality show.

"AIW said on the record they would not allow it due to the significant risk of infection posed by the presence of dirty cameras, audio equipment and electrical cords - and concern for the emotional well-being of all of her children."

"Nadya appears to be putting her money-making scheme of a reality show before the best interests of her children. If she goes ahead with it she needs to spend less time looking for a man and more time mothering her 14 children."

The proposed Octomom reality show - think Jon and Kate Plus 8 Plus Crack - would focus on her search for love, as well as keeping 14 humans alive of course.

Allred believes her motives are off the mark.

"If she is looking for men, she is looking for love in all the wrong places. Rather than doing a reality show, she needs to deal with the reality that she has 14 children who need her to be there, to love them and be a real mother to them."

"Her children need a mother who will protect them and their privacy, not a mother who appears ready to auction off their privacy to the highest bidder."

Octomom Nadya Suleman and six of her famous octuplets, born in January, have been photographed together for the first time on the cover of In Touch Weekly.

If she has her way, it won't be the last.

In the photo, a sort of normal-looking Nadya Suleman appears with sleeping newborns Isaiah, Noah, Nariah, Maliah, Makai and Jeremiah. The other two babies, Jonah and Josiah, are stable but remain in neonatal intensive care in Bellflower, Calif.

“They need a little more time to develop, grow and tolerate food,” Kaiser Permanante Medical Center spokeswoman Beth Trombley told the celeb news mag.

The magazine details the conflict between Octomom, who wants to raise her 14 children alone and hopefully on a reality series coming soon, and the "concerns" of TV blowhard shrink Dr. Phil McGraw and publicity hound lawyer Gloria Allred.

According to reports, Nadya Suleman is interested in starring in a reality show as soon as the final two octuplets, Jonah and Josiah, leave the hospital.

The magazine quotes a source who says a deal is in place. “It’s about Nadya trying to raise 14 children while looking for love,” the insider explains.

That sort of shameless fame-whoring has just about everyone up in arms.

“These babies should be placed in foster care,” Gloria Allred, an attorney for Angels in Waiting, which provided free nurses to Nadya, says. “There they would receive the individualized care that the babies need and deserve.”

Okay, we hate on Octomom like crazy, but this is kinda messed up.

When the mother of the famous octuplets (and six other frickin' kids), who also goes by the name of Nadya Suleman, woke up this morning, she noticed that some idiots had smashed the back window of her car in the middle of the night.

La Habra, Calif., police said a report was filed this morning, but as of right now, there are no suspects in the brutal vandalism of the OctoMobile.

PUCKER UP: Don't you just wanna kiss Octomom goodbye forever?!

Nadya's lawyer says the object used to smash the window was a car seat that someone had removed from Suleman's front porch, then heaved through the car.

No word on how Octomom plans to pay for the repairs, but taxpayers are most likely on the hook, as she has no job. Way to exacerbate the problem, vandals.

For now, Nadya Suleman can only soldier on.

Octomom made headlines for firing free nurses last week. Looks like it wasn't the only case of people connected with the nutjob's life being fired.

A hospital canned 15 morons for looking illicitly at medical records of the infamous Nadya Suleman, a Kaiser Permanente spokesman said Monday.

"We always provide training on the importance of patient privacy and confidentiality," said hospital rep Jim Anderson, addressing the situation.

"We knew from the time [Nadya Suleman] was admitted to the hospital in December, this case would attract attention. Numerous training sessions were held to remind people of the need to keep the information confidential."

Eight other employees at the hospital in Bellflower, Calif., also were disciplined.

Anderson said there's no indication any of Octomom's info was leaked to the media, but that "this was human nature and curiosity that got the best of people."

The 33-year-old drain on society has six of her eight octuplets at home in La Habra, Calif. Baby number seven is due home soon, but the eighth may have to stay in the hospital for another month before he's healthy enough to leave.

The six kids she already had before getting artificially inseminated with eight more? They're fine, eating and living well thanks to gobs of taxpayer money.

After a busy day of bottle feedings, diaper changes and firing free nurses for her 14 children, Nadya Suleman ran one final errand on Thursday night: She and her friend drove over to pick up octuplet babies No. 5 and 6 from the hospital.

"They're both calm and quiet," Suleman said.

"I'm really excited to get them home."

Doctors at the hospital handed over brothers Makai (5 lbs., pounds, 5 oz.) and Jeremiah (5 lbs., 14 oz.) to Suleman at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

They arrived home a half hour later, wrapped in blankets and sleeping.

To celebrate the octuplets' 2-month birthday, a nanny working for the drain on society (and obviously funded by taxpayers, not any sort of Octo-income) baked cupcakes, which Suleman's six older children reportedly devoured.

That's right, she had six effing kids before she was Octomom.

It's been a busy couple of months for Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. Octomom. What does she have up her sleeve for her next desperate plea for attention? Nine kids?

The calm scene at Suleman's residence in La Habra was a contrast to the circus-like atmosphere that unfolded last week when the first two octuplets came home.

At that time, adozen police officers had to seal off the streets around Nadya Suleman's home to keep crowds away. Baby No. 7 is due home in the next few days.

Octomom, a.k.a. Nadya Suleman, continued to soak up attention downplayed her stripper past during an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Big Boy.

"The only thing I'm going to say is we all have a past," Suleman said, "and I don't want to resurrect that. It's dead... but no, not like a career or job."

The National Enquirer reported Suleman quit exotic dancing after one night when she learned she had to give customers lap dances. Sorry if you've just gotten sick from envisioning Octomom grinding up in your business right now.

Nadya Suleman also slammed Angels in Waiting - the charity providing free childcare for her 14 children until she fired them earlier this week.

She called them spies and said "it was a scam. There was no money. They had no resources. They were placed in the house to try to set me up for failure."

Suleman says her home is "peaceful," these days, albeit challenging.

"It's harder for me to to really discipline and maintain that consistence with the older kids," lamented Octomom. "The babies are amazingly easy."

Seen here taking an important work call - just kidding, she doesn't work! - Octomom says she's not bothered by people's criticism of her lifestyle.

"Five years ago, it would be really hard because I'd be emotionally reacting to people's judgments, but because of the counseling I've been through, I've learned to become mindful... separate yourself from your body and what's happening."

She plans on being a single parent, and wouldn't introduce a man "to my kids ever," Suleman said. "I really don't see marriage in my future. "I've never believed in the institution of marriage. I'm a mom, 100 percent."

The insane mom, who has made money from selling her photos and story but is not currently employed, said she's "not capitalizing" on her kids.

"I'm using every resource I can secure to provide for my children. What else am I gonna do?" she said. "I'm not a burden on any taxpayer."

Whatever you say, Octomom. Click to enlarge more photos ...

With 14 young mouths to feed - yes, Octomom had six frickin' kids prior to cranking out her famous, artificially-inseminated octuplets in January - it's easy to see how Nadya Suleman could drop $1,500 on clothing in a single shopping trip.

Oh, except that they were for herself.

Nadya Suleman went on a major shopping spree yesterday at a Bebe Sport store, and no, it wasn't' a Baby Bebe or equivalent. It was all for the fame whore.

Octomom wasted $1,500 on t-shirts, tank tops, a sexy metallic cami, a woven cargo dress, crystal heart sweatsuits (two colors) and some sports bras.

The worst part came when the unemployed Octomom, who claims society is unfairly judging her because she is a single mother, was asked for ID by a clerk.

A blonde friend (yes, she apparently has some) who was with her responded, with no small amount of indignation, "Oh come on, don't you know who she is?"

Unfortunately, the answer to that question is a resounding yes.

Why would Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. Octomom, fire the nurse-nannies that were charitably provided for her by the nonprofit group Angels in Waiting?

Attorney Gloria Allred and that asshat blowhard Dr. Phil helped arrange for the sorely needed round-the-clock care that Nadya Suleman's 14 children - that's right, she had six before the octuplets - require. But she axed them anyway.

Why? Nadya Suleman said they were spying on her, obviously.

"Yes, it's true. I released AIW," Suleman said. "It was really bad. That's all I can say. I can't confirm, why, in particular. I will be releasing the details soon."

Her spokesman accused the non-profit charity group - which announced their plans to assist Suleman in raising her 14 frickin' children during a March 14 taping of Dr. Phil - of spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials.

How do you treat free help when you have 14 kids and no job? When you're Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. Octomom, you fire them. Then call a press conference.

Allred fired back on Wednesday's Today show, claiming Octomom only cares about her babies "when the cameras are rolling" and exaggerated her claims.

"Nadya is taking things out of context," said Allred, a lawyer for Angels in Waiting and who used to rep Britney Spears, who looks like the mother of the year by comparison. "Our nurses were rightfully concerned about security."

"After all, Nadya had told the world where she lives, when those babies are coming home. As a result, hundreds of reporters came. Her home is easily locatable on the Internet as a result of her doing daily blogs."

Four of Suleman's infant octuplets were released, two at a time, into her care in the past week. The babies were born January 26, nine weeks premature.
