Porn company Vivid Entertainment offers $1.54 million to octuplets mother (Octomom) | Celebrity | News.com.au

Porn company Vivid Entertainment offers $1.54 million to octuplets mother (Octomom)

VIVID Entertainment has made a $US1 million ($1.54 million) offer to Nadya Suleman to make a pornographic video.

In an offer letter obtained by TMZ.com, the president of the pornography studio and distributor Steven Hirsch says the company would release the film under their "Vivid-Celeb imprint, which has released titles starring such personalities as Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, and most recently, former Miss USA Kelli MCarty."

The site also reports that the company is offering her family dental and health care if she agrees to star in a series of films.

Suleman, 33, known as "Octomom" after giving birth to octuplets earlier this year, has reportedly not replied to the request.

Suleman gave birth to the octuplets on January 26 in a Californian hospital. She has six other children, and has said all 14 of her children were conceived through in vitro fertilisation, with sperm from an unidentified, platonic friend, The Associated Press reports.

Meanwhile, TV talk show host Dr Phil McGraw tells the Los Angeles Times Suleman told him that she feared the hospital may not release her newborn octuplets to her.

"What she is telling me is that unless and until she has a better living arrangement, that they are not likely to release the children to her," McGraw said.

I'd be terrified if I were the male porn-star chosen to perform with her. "So, you're DEFINITELY on the pill, right?"

I think he would do what any respectable man would do and have the decency to pull out and cum in her face.

After you have 8 kids, isn't your stomach basically a giant deflated balloon. I can see how maybe she was attractive as a younger lady, but I don't think I want to see this.

Clearly this is just Vivid wanting to get some free publicity, because they know there is no way the Octomom will accept this (because she'll get more $ from church groups and crap like that that won't send her money if she's a pornstar).

This is a key point. Conservative politicians like to harp on the idea that our welfare system encourages people to have more kids, but the only thing they succeed in proving is that they've never been on welfare themselves.

People on welfare who have a ton of kids do so generally because they're not bright and/or have no conception of birth control. And, ironically, the conservative response to this is to preach "abstinence", which is just yet another tone-deaf response.

Of course, in this particular case I have a feeling that it was indeed the potential financial benefits that motivated this woman. Of course, the financial benefits in question were going to be from private sources, for selling her story. The American Dream lives on.

I have spent the last year trying to think of a business that I could create and hopefully scrape by.

NEW IDEA: Send the wife to the clinic and then sell her to Vivid

Probably not, but free housing and nursing care for the children is worth something.

"Linda explained to her that Angels in Waiting would not agree to that because of their concern for possible infections that the infants might incur with camera equipment and many other people in the home in addition to the many professionals who would be with the children providing the care," Allred said. "Linda did not wish to risk the health of the little ones."

Guess it's either the charity group or a shot at doing a reality show

She was on Dr. Phil for a few days. So does that officially make Dr. Phil the most pathetic TV personality?

All those day time TV personality types are really pathetic. Sometimes it's hard to put one over the other. But the 2 or 3 day event with Octomom would be a notch above (below?) anything else I've seen anyone try to do.

According to this article, the father is buying the house, or at least it's listed in his name (I thought they declared bankruptcy)?

I love how the charity, Angels in Wing, is pretty much broke.

Dr. Phil and the charity group Angels in Waiting entered into an agreement to provide the octomom with 11 nannies to take care of the brood's daily needs. The cost of providing 11 nannies is about $135,000 per month. The group is looking for public donations to support the astronomical cost.
Let's see:

11 nannies making $135,000 per month equals about $147,272.73 a year each. I didn't know nannies made that much.

Of course, it appears that the charity only has around $5,000 in assets/income right now. I'm guessing that figure might include all expenses, including nannies.

True. Also, the figure is misleading since it doesn't include benefits, cost of living in CA, etc. Regardless, 11 nannies for 14 kids is outrageous. She might need 4 nannies at the most. 1 per 2 newborn, and she can take care of the other six.

He's been drumming up the story quite a bit.
