OCTOMOM TRADEMARKS HER NAME & PLANS TO CASH IN ON REALITY SHOW

Nadya Suleman who has been nicknamed by the press and bloggers as "Octomom" aka "Octo-Crazy" is making sure she can make money from her new name and has filed trademark papers.  Check out the paperwork on the Smoking Gun website.   We thought Jimmey Kimmel had some funny nicknames for Octomom. Our faves are Momstrocity, Breedzilla,The Uter- Bomber and Lady Popsalot.
 There isn't any word yet whether Nadya plans to trademark any of them. Let's see if they catch on.

There are reports that the claims that Octomom had secured a reality show were premature because the deal is not final.

"Yes, it is official. I'm going to be doing a show," Nadya tells Life & Style. "But it's not a reality show."

It's far worse: "What I'm doing . . . is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It's going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18." Imagine having 14 kids followed with cameras daily for up to 18 years - it'll be a Petri dish for neuroses, if not psychoses.

OctoMom isn't done: The Smoking Gun Web site says she has applied to trademark the tabloid concoction Octomom. She states on the application that she will use the site to market dresses, pants, shirts, and diapers.  [SOURCE]

  According to the rumors the show would last until Nadya's children are 18 years old. This is ridiculous.

We should have known this was the case! Earlier in the week reports surfaced that Nadya Suleman had secured a reality show for herself and her children, which was picked up by a in the U.K. network Eyeworks, even saying it was “official.”

But Eyeworks reported today that there was no such deal in place and no U.K. networks have in fact signed Nadya to any deal. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a future for the Octomom.

Eyeworks CEO Reinout Oerlemans said today, "At this time we are in active negotiations with Nadya and her attorney  for an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children.

"Nadya’s story is a very unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner ... We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world."

So across the pond is probably Nadya’s best bet at this point, since no U.S. networks want to come near her. TLC met with Suleman and called her “much crazier than they expected.” A Bravo rep flat out said, “We’re not interested.” [HOLLYSCOOP]

The woman who gave birth to octuplets, Nadya Suleman, is seeking to trademark her media nickname -- Octomom -- for a TV show and a line of diapers.

Word of Suleman's federal trademark filings came as her lawyer confirmed he is talking to production companies about a TV show, but said reports of a signed deal are premature.

Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in January, brought home the last and smallest of the eight babies on Monday, a hospital spokeswoman said. Suleman also has six other children. All 14 were conceived through in-vitro fertilization.

Suleman is not the only one to claim a trademark on the nickname. A Texas company not affiliated with her has filed to trademark an Octomom iPhone game.

"You press on her belly and she has babies," the company's CEO said.

One of Suleman's lawyers filed her trademark applications Friday with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, according to the documents. In the application, the word is spelled "OctoMom," with a capital M.

One trademark would cover OctoMom disposable and textile diapers, dresses, pants and shirts.
 The other application would give Suleman the trademark OctoMom for "entertainment in the nature of ongoing television programs in the field of varity." The last word -- "varity" -- may have been intended to read "variety."

Suleman lawyer Jeff Czech downplayed a Life & Style magazine report that Suleman had signed with a British film company to produce six shows a year about her family over the next 18 years.

"The truth is that there is no deal yet with any production company or programming company," Czech said. "I am not certain if Ms. Suleman was properly quoted in Life & Style."

He added, "I have been in negotiations with production companies, but no agreements have been reached."

In the Life & Style report, Suleman is quoted as saying the TV show would not be a "reality show."

"What I'm doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children," she is quoted saying.

The company the magazine said would produce the shows -- Eyeworks -- has not yet responded to CNN calls. [CNN]

OCTOMOM GETS A DATING REALITY SHOW

Octomom, Nadya Suleman, is getting a reality dating show. The single mother of 14 is going to extend her 15 minutes of fame by being the subject of a television series based on her love life.

Are you going to tune in to watch Octo-crazy audition men to be sperm donors so she can pop out more babies?

In Touch is reporting that Octomom's long-expected reality show deal will not only follow the mother of octuplets around the clock, but will also help her find a man.

The magazine says the show will be a cross between John & Kate Plus 8 and The Bachelor.

Pitbull in a dress, lawyer Gloria Alred is none too happy.

"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 with them to love them and be a real mother to them. That is the reality that she needs to face," she says. "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."

No word yet as to when taping begins or which network will air it. [WENDYISTA]

American media sources are quoting In Touch magazine as saying the TV show will begin after the 33-year-old's last newborn baby leaves hospital.

An insider reportedly told the magazine a deal has been agreed for Miss Suleman to be filmed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"It's about Nadya trying to raise 14 children while looking for love," the source said.

It not clear if the show will appear on TV or online.

The mother of 14 has apparently insisted there is no use of the word "Octomom", as she has widely become known in the United States.

It comes after Miss Suleman's revealed she used inheritance money and overtime pay from her job as a psychiatric technician to pay for her in vitro fertilization (IVF). [SKY]

ANGELINA JOLIE DONATING MONEY TO OCTOMOM?

Star magazine is claiming that Angelina Jolie wants to support Octomom's cause and is considering donating money to the fame hungry Nadya Suleman.  Why would this ever be an option? Nadya is such a media  attention junkie that her fired lawyer Gloria Allred and AIW nannies said she never cared for her kids until a camera was around. Octomom only shops and even found the time to do a radio interview with Big Boy despite the fact that she has no childcare. Who is watching her 12 kids when she's out promoting herself popping out kids like popcorn kernels?  Watch OCTO MOM’S FIRST RADIO INTERVIEW with BigBoy where she laughs and jokes about being called "crazy".

Angelina Jolie has a soft spot for those in need, including Nadya Suleman and her 14 children!

Star has learned the actress is seriously considering donating thousands of dollars to the overwhelmed 33-year-old single mom, whose brood includes 2-month-old octuplets.

"Angelina is worried about the best interests of the kids," explains a source. "As a mom of six, she knows how chaotic and costly raising a big family can be."

And while the money would no doubt help Nadya pay for everything from clothes to schooling, Angelina, 33, does have some misgivings about the gift, notes the source.

"She doesn't necessarily approve of Nadya, and she doesn't want to turn the situation into even more of a circus." [STAR MAGAZINE]

OCTOMOM GETS TWO MORE BABIES WAS A STRIPPER GLORIA ALLRED SAYS NADYA IS A PHOTO-OP MOM

More news is coming out about Octo-mom's past including her stint as a teenage pole dancing stripper.  Her fired lawyer Gloria Allred and Angels in Waiting nannies revealed on Dr. Phil that Nadya is a bad photo-op mom who doesn't take care of her babies and only holds them when a camera is around. Two more of Nadya's children were delivered to her but it's just a matter of time before Child Protective Services intervenes to protect the safety of her children. Poor kids because their Octo-crazy mama is bananas. SMH.

The war of words between Nadya Suleman and the volunteer nannies she dismissed March 23 took a heated turn on The Dr. Phil Show Wednesday when one from the group Angels in Waiting alleged the octuplets' mom cared more about her own celebrity than the welfare of her children.

"This woman does not care for these kids," Linda West-Conforti said on the talk show. "She is in [it] for the paparazzi, the media. That is my opinion. I've been there for a week. I'm the eyes, the ears and the mouth of these little children."

The fired nanny said Suleman was often unreachable – or out shopping – and showed no level of interest in learning how to care for her children.

Cameras Rolling
"Nadya only fed her babies ... when a film crew was in her house," West-Conforti said. "That's the only time that woman ever volunteered to feed a child. And I tell you what happened: During one episode she was done feeding ... she picked up the child [and] gave it to me on my chest. She didn't burp it; she didn't change the diaper; [she] walked out of that room and [didn't see] her for another 12 hours."

While Suleman was not on the talk show to answer back – she phoned in early to discuss why she fired the AIW nannies – her attorney Jeff Czech denied all the allegations.

"Nadya is a very good mother and a very caring mother. The bottom line is the shoe just never fit," he said of the short-lived arrangement with Angels in Waiting. [PEOPLE]

In the continuing adventures of Octomom, the National Enquirer reports that Mother of the Year Nadya Suleman did some pole dancing before she had 14 kids.

Back when she was 18, Suleman was in an “investigative” stage of her life and thought she’d try out exotic dancing.

“I had not even kissed a boy. But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie,” she told a close pal. “Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman’s club and performed as a topless dancer. But I only did it one night. I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers.” That’s totally believable. In other Octomom news, since she’s not stripping down anymore, the cash-flush celebrity serial mother is certainly dressing better! The woman who sent pediatric nurses packing earlier this week went on a $1,500 shopping spree at Bebe Sport the other day, TMZ.com reports. Nadya bought T-shirts, tank tops, a sexy-fit metallic cami, a woven cargo dress, crystal heart sweatsuits in two colors and sports bras to show off her postpartum figure. [BOSTON HERALD]
