Nadya Suleman on Welfare: So Ashamed!

Nadya “Octomom” Suleman said she’s “ashamed” of going on welfare to take care of her 14 children, but she will still never stoop so low as to do porn. “I still am working as hard as I possibly can to support them,’’ Suleman told Today’s Matt Lauer, adding that she made the welfare decision “reluctantly.” Suleman said she was not just humbled, but afraid to take public assistance, as she’s received death threats for receiving the aid (up to $2,000 a month). Nadya Suleman on Today “I feel ashamed, but who cares how I feel? It’s 100 percent about my children,” she asked and answered, saying she hopes to be off public assistance soon. “They deserve everything, they deserve the best.” Including dignity. That’s why, even though we’ve already seen Octomom nude , Suleman will NEVER do full-on porn, even if the offer was $100 million. “I won’t touch other human flesh,’’ Suleman said. “The only flesh I’m touching is my own.” Interestingly, this was also true of her children’s conception. She got pregnant with all 14 of them through IVF! Anyway, she adds, “I would never, never accept anything. I will not lose my grip of my deeply indoctrinated morals and values. Every choice we as parents make is going to significantly affect our children for the rest of our lives.” “I have to be the ultimate positive role model.’’ Asked if she’s concerned public officials will try to take her children from her, Suleman said, “That will never happen and I can guarantee you on that.” “Hundreds of people, random people, call [social services] on a daily basis, and it’s sick. [It’s] unbelievably fascinating in regard to humanity how many people are foaming at the mouth for my children to be taken away from me.” “The saddest part is 15 years from now, when they’re 18 and legal and in college, people will still be foaming at their mouth for them to be taken.’’ Hopefully in 15 years, we’ll have moved on … or she’ll have at least gotten off welfare and given people no reason to care. Pipe dreams …

American Idol Results: Who Got the Boot?

American Idol traveled back to the 1980s last night. But the remaining eight finalists were forced to look ahead on Thursdays results show, as America voted and revealed an unfortunate future for one contestant: He or she is going home. Who received the bad news? It appeared briefly that fan favorite Phillip Phillips might be in danger, but it came down to Elise Testone and DeAndre Brackensick in the bottom two. The contestant getting the boot this week was … DeAndre. The audience, predictably, began chanting “Save! Save! Save! Save!” Unfortunately for the falsetto-singing teen, only one of the judges would’ve done so. Jennifer broke the bad news: “This boy right here, we’ve been watching him for two years. You’re an amazing performer. I stand by that,” she told him. However, “I only get one vote. I’m sorry … we’re not saving you tonight.” Ryan puts her on the spot, asking if J. Lo voted to save him while Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson didn’t. “Yes,” she replies, “that’s what I’m saying.” Think she was serious? It’s a good cover story if not. Every week could be a 2-1 decision against the eliminated singer. Anyway, best of luck, DeAndre. What do you think? Did America (and the judges) get it right?
