Court docs: Octomom inks showbiz deal for tots

LOS ANGELES - Octuplet mother Nadya Suleman has signed agreements for each of her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality television show.

The contracts filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court guarantee the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years. The contracts require a judge's approval.

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

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.

I am so sick of seeing sorry ass parents like these pimping out their innocent kids just to make an easy quick buck. And these are sadly not the only ones doing it. And then to have people support it makes me even more sick to my stomach. No one honestly cares about kids these days. That’s why they grow up and turn out as immoral as they do sometimes. The children don’t have any true responsibilities and they don’t care for the next man.....just like they don’t care about themselves but only what they can get for free, or what easy money they can make without any hard work that will benefit others. Some of them may not want to be a hardworking earner for their future family.

Are people’s lives in the general public honestly that boring, sad, or lonely, that they truly feel fulfilled when they turn on these types of television shows? Do they feel like they’re apart of something special or someone’s lives each week?

I think this is so sad for these children. Sure they look happy now, but long term effects could be good or devastating. I personally wouldn’t take the chance on my children. Especially if I had all the extra problems that these parents have or knew were coming. The kids may be cute to look at, but is it really worth it in the end for the children?

How long did Kate think her marriage was going to last when she nags out the wazoo, won’t allow her husband to speak two sentences without interruption or correction from her, ignores him, and treats her husband like he’s one of the 4yr olds when she does pay him some attention? Some news reports say Jon was her 24/7 maid, servant, and verbal punching bag that was constantly mistreated on national television.

Did Kate Gosselin honestly think and feel that they were going to be working side by side together forever? These two can’t even sit close together anymore. And most likely, Kate still calls the paparazzi when the TLC show cameras are off.

And did Nadya Suleman AKA Octomom, honestly think people were going to praise her for being a single mother when she didn’t have to be? She was artificially inseminated and had fertility shots to boot. She meant to have 14 young money makers that she could legally control.

The woman has always been single, unemployed, feeds her children on food stamps, and gets Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters. “Nadya Suleman said previously that some of the disability money was spent on in vitro fertilizations, which was used for all 14 of her children.”

Cuss me out on this blog if you want too. But I feel sorry for the children, NOT these SHOULD BE mothers. Because when they claim they are sick and tired of the press, intelligent people know it’s all just an act to keep the public interest so that they can gain more money from their dishonest attitudes.

I have seen these people on the news so much over the past few months. So much that I now mute the television when a new story is told about them.

I'll say once more....... Are people’s lives in the general public honestly that boring, sad, or lonely, that they truly feel fulfilled when they turn on these types of television shows? Do they feel like they’re apart of something special or someone’s lives each week? The kids may be cute to look at, but is it really worth it in the end for the children's mental stability?
