This really bothers me.

Just because she has made some poor decisions she should not have to do this. This is simply going to the highest bidder. I understand that it is her decision, yet it shouldn't be this way.

Nadya Suleman was more than a little nervous when she arrived on the set of her first adult-film shoot last week. But after chatting with a seasoned porn star and getting comfortable with the location and crew, Octomom performed like a pro.


"My first shoot was amazing," Nadya tells me. "Such a learning experience for me in so many ways. I don't think I could have asked for a better crew to work with. They were so patient and willing to teach me. I owe a lot to Wicked Pictures contract star Jessica Drake; she opened my eyes to a whole different world of self-pleasure that I could have never imagined. They made me look so glamorous, and for the first time in my life, I felt beautiful and sexy. I'm very excited for it to come out!"


“For the pictures, we had her topless with a thick sparkly red choker with a big red heart in front and red and white polka dot panties ... like 1950s style," an insider tells me. "SpaghettiOs were all over her body and she's even throwing the SpaghettiOs toward the camera. The label on the can was changed from SpaghettiOs to say 'Saucy Octos.'"

So how will Nadya put the money from her hard day of work to good use? She plans to buy her large family a new, safe home.

You didn't see this coming all along?

Don't you find it strange when ANYONE wants more than, let's just start at the number 6 -- kids?

If you are VERY wealthy, and can afford to have many children and provide for them, then have as many as you want. But if you do NOT have the wealth to support the children, when does it become unfair for the children? Who takes responsibility for poor choices made by parents?

The "Octomom" did everything for publicity. This is the celebrity culture we live in. "This" was the ticket to being a millionaire and a celebrity at the same time. It was reported that she is over $1 million in debt. How many people actually get that far into debt to begin with? There were many people who noted that this would end in a tragedy.

And I don't disagree with anything you said. I find it to be sad. Her big payday will be a video for guys to either laugh at or jerk off to. She put herself in a difficult position with her own decisions. I never said anything else. The only way she can find a way out now(and this is import an) is to give up her body to men. Most people make a mistake and move on.

I never said she was a good person. I don't know her. I have said she made bad decisions.

This is really how it should have ended. The TV Reality shows turning ordinary people into celebrities has to stop.

She would NOT be offered the "porn job" if she was "just a mom with 13 kids"... this is all part of the same celebrity hype. It feeds the story and keeps it going.

The story needs to get out more, so people can learn from this mistake.

All indications are this woman is an attention addict and unfortunately for her having eight children at once didn't turn into a reality show. Suleman should receive whatever social safety net benefits are available to her and as a society it would be good if we actually had a way to help her gain self-sufficiency but we don't.

That porn seems to be the best choice for her is regrettable.
