    Octuplets Mother's Beverly Hills Fertility Doctor Accused of Gross Negligence by State January 4, 2010 The Beverly Hills fertility doctor who helped Nadya Suleman give birth to 14 children, including octuplets, has been accused by the California Medical Board of repeated gross negligence. Both Suleman and Dr. Michael Kamrava made international headlines last January, after the Southern California woman gave birth to only the second set of octuplets ever delivered in the United States. Her babies, who will turn 1 on Jan. 28, are the longest-surviving set. Suleman is a single mother who was unemployed and living with her parents....

    Is it time for an OctoAgent? OctoMom Nadya Suleman is pimping out her eight babies without proper consideration of their interests, a new lawsuit in Orange County, Calif., claims. Gloria Allred, the celeb lawyer behind the suit, said Monday that the babies deserve a court-appointed guardian - and a separate theatrical agent - to make sure their options are fully "explored" and that they get their fair share of any booty generated by their fame. "Rather than choosing to provide her children with a normal life," Allred said, "Nadya Suleman, has chosen instead to commercially exploit them, and it appears...

    Fifteen hospital workers have been fired and a further 8 disciplined for improperly accessing the medical records of the mother who recently gave birth to octuplets, Nadya Suleman. A spokesman for the Kaiser Permanente medical facility in Bellflower, California, confirmed the dismissals, stating the high-profile nature of the case left them susceptible to breaches of this nature. "We knew from the time she (Miss Suleman) was admitted to the hospital in December, this case would attract attention", Jim Anderson said. "Even though no one knew she was there, they knew she was going to have a lot of babies." The...

    A dozen children are now in Nadya Suleman's care after two more of the world's longest surviving set of octuplets arrived home from the hospital. Makai and Jeremiah were released from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center on Thursday, exactly two months after their births. "Over these past several weeks we have seen these little ones flourish, grow stronger each day, which is rewarding for each of us who have cared for them," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser. Nannies who are being trained by Kaiser nurses are helping Suleman take care of the children. The babies were born...

    (CBS) The lawyer for the group of registered nurses that was providing free training to the nannies caring for octuplets mother Nadya Suleman's 14 children until Suleman told them to leave charges that Suleman is "AWOL" as a mother. The head of that group describes the situation in Suleman's home as "chaotic" and totally lacking in security. The allegations came in an interview Thursday with The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen. Linda West Comforti, a registered nurse and founder of Angels in Waiting, told Chen the environment in the home in the Los Angeles suburb of La Habra is "chaotic,...

    LOS ANGELES – Octuplets mother Nadya Suleman has fired a nonprofit group of nurses that helped care for her children, accusing the group of spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials, her spokesman said Monday. Suleman attorney Jeff Czech said the relationship started badly between Suleman and Angels in Waiting, which has been training nannies paid by Suleman at the family's La Habra home. Last month an attorney for Angels in Waiting filed a complaint against Suleman with child welfare officials, seeking an investigation into whether the mother could provide a suitable environment for her 14 children....

    Infamous Nadya Suleman just closed the deal on a house in a neighborhood in Southern California and last night, it was tp'd. That doesn't bode well for the relationship with the neighbors, isn't she relying on them, friends, family and neighbors, to help her with the kids. She has the help from Angels in Waiting, but what about the other kids in the family? They aren't going to stay locked up in the house, they have to go to school, and have friends. I sure hope Nadya's decision to have all these babies doesn't affect her kids welcome into the...

    OctoMom Nadya Suleman did a lot more damage than we thought at the MAC cosmetic store. How's this taxpayers -- SHE BLEW MORE THAN A GRAND! We reported she made a modest purchase during a recent trip to MAC. Turns out she returned to the scene of the crime for moisturizer, primer foundation, powder, blush, lip stick, lip liner, clear lip gloss, eye shadow, eye liner, face wash, brushes, makeup remover... in the end, the total came to more than $1,000. True... she's making money hand over fist right now. The whole "rainy day" thing has clearly escaped her. Someone...

    Time flies! From Reuters (02/18/09): The grandmother of California's newborn octuplets faces the threat of foreclosure on the house she has shared with her daughter and six of her grandchildren, property records revealed on Wednesday. According to a mortgage default notice filed last week with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's Office, Angela Suleman is more than $23,000 behind in payments on her house in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier, an agency spokesman said.

    Victor Munoz, who had been representing the 33-year-old for less than a month, said working for Suleman had become "just too much". In an outspoken interview he questioned his former client's motives, branding her "greedy" and "nuts". Mr Munoz told America's Us Weekly magazine: "Not to sound arrogant, but those people depended on me for everything. You have no idea what I've had to do." He continued: "Nadya got real greedy. This woman is nuts. What ultimately destroyed the business arrangement was personal reasons." Miss Suleman, an unemployed single mother who recently disclosed that she is $50,000 in debt, has...

    snip whatever one thinks of Darwin and genetics, assuming he was even partially right about genes, is there any hope for the children of such a hopelessly odd mother, not to mention a man who provided his seed because he was "in love" with her? The political culture of today says we can't answer this question publicly, but assuming Suleman's story is merely the tip of the iceberg, politicians who control the purse strings are eventually going to have to stake out a position here. Whatever side is taken, it would surely be interesting to know how many women, desirous...

    The Octomom — mother of 14 IVF conceived children — has officially passed on an offer of free 24-hour nursing care for her kids by the nonprofit group Angels in Waiting. AP reports that the group’s founder said that Suleman seemed to lose interest in their offer after they ruled out her request to do a reality show around her childrens' care. Those poor, poor kids. Who turns down free 24-hour care for their children? Is Nadya holding out for a better deal? One that includes TV rights and a book contract? Angels in Waiting lawyer Gloria Allred said she...
