In a shocking letter to his disgruntled fans, KSFO (560-AM) radio host Lee Rodgers told them he was fired from the station but probably would have quit anyway, because Citadel, owned by Farid Suleman, had pushed him toward making positive statements about Muslims.

It’s official: Nadya Suleman and her brood of 14 are coming to a TV near you. After weeks of meetings and negotiations, Suleman’s attorney Jeff Czech confirmed exclusively to Usmagazine.com that Suleman signed a deal Thursday night to star in her own reality series. "[Nadya and the producers] are hoping to have an arrangement whereby several events in the children's lives would be filmed in a documentary series," Czech told Us. “One of the events in the children's lives might be their first birthday.”

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...

LOS ANGELES – A big share of the financial burden of raising Nadya Suleman's 14 children could fall on the shoulders of California's taxpayers, compounding the public furor in a state already billions of dollars in the red. Even before the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother gave birth to octuplets last month, she had been caring for her six other children with the help of $490 a month in food stamps, plus Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters. The public aid will almost certainly be increased with the new additions to her family. Also, the hospital where the...

Nadya Suleman has 14 children, including newborn octuplets. She has no job, no income and owes $50,000 in student loans. Still, the 33-year-old Whittier woman said she's confident that she can afford to raise her huge family, insisting she can do it without welfare. In an interview Tuesday with NBC, she said she could use student loans to make ends meet until she finishes graduate school and gets a job. But Suleman faces what are likely to be millions of dollars in medical bills alone, and it's increasingly likely that taxpayers will foot many of those bills. Her family is...

Nadya Suleman, now mother to 14 kids, has started a website to get people to help her pay for her babies. All of whom she had using in vitro fertilization, so they were obviously very much planned pregnancies. Nadya admits she is $50,000 in debt and has all sorts of government assistance, none of which she considers welfare. She gets food stamps, and three of her older six children get some form of child disability funds. Nadya has said that she’s sure God will somehow provide for her and her brood of 14, and apparently the best way for that...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The California mother of octuplets already receives food stamps and disability payments to help feed and care for her six other children. Publicist Mike Furtney said Monday that Nadya Suleman receives $490 a month in food stamps.

State documents disclosed to The Associated Press show that Nadya Suleman, the mother of the recently-delivered octuplets, received more than $165,000 in disability payments for an on-the-job back injury. She worked at a state mental hospital from 1997 until December when she resigned. The payments were made between 2002 and 2008, during which time Suleman gave birth to most of her six other children. Records provided to the AP following a public records request to the Department of Mental Health show that for much of that time, however, she was unable to work. [Snip] Not even a photo of Suleman...

As waves of talk hosts, producers, disc jockeys and news personnel are sent packing in the wake of Citadel- ABC Radio's financial collapse, shell-shocked radio insiders are wondering if anything can be done to save their highly- successful talk format. Yesterday, now known as "Black Friday", has career professionals in a state of outright panic, with even more job cuts expected on Monday. When it is over, even the highest- rated major- market outlets will be expected to somehow function with few remaining staffers. And even deep cuts aren't likely to provide more than a drop in the bucket for...
