Today, the inevitable happened. Although Oprah had, she explains, long resisted the pull of "Octomom," a hand-written sheet of blue notepaper changed her mind, and Nadya Suleman was allowed to Tell Her Story.
Yes, it's been a year since "The Octomom" came into our lives, and People has the scoop on how she's Grown and Changed:
Earlier today, GMA previewed tonight's Primetime interview with Jon Gosselin. At left, Jon says having eight kids meant "bye-bye 20s," but the real problem was, "I was verbally abused, I was beaten down, [Kate] separated me from my family."
Last night, Kate Gosselin appeared calm, poised, and well-spoken on Larry King Live. She declined to reveal details about her divorce and seemed to have a firm grasp on "personal" and "public." Tweeters, however, did not.
Yesterday, E! News ran an exclusive interview with Jon Gosselin's 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman, in which she defended her Facebook photos, pot bust, and relationship with Jon; she also accused Kate of playing "the sympathy card." Much more, post-jump.
According to a Jon and Kate Plus 8-inspired poll of Date.com, Matchmaker.com, and Amor.com users, 19 percent of women would date a man even if he had eight or more kids, compared to only 3.2 percent of men. [UPI]
Jon Gosselin has another new girlfriend, 22-year-old Hailey Glassman. They just spent the weekend in St. Tropez, and are apparently designing a children's clothing line together for Ed Hardy. Here's a quick primer on Glassman... which includes her mugshot, natch.
In the video at left, comedian Jon Cordero impersonates Jon Gosselin in a fake Match.com ad. Like most jokes about the Gosselins, it starts out funny and gets less amusing when you remember there are eight kids involved. [Mediabistro]
Last night's episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 was a compilation, looking back on the (now divorcing) couple's decade-long marriage. After viewing past seasons, we made our own compilation of the obvious indicators that their union was in trouble.
On last night's Jon and Kate Plus 8, the Gosselins announced that they were separating (yesterday they filed for divorce). It was the first episode I've ever watched and I couldn't get over how immature Jon Gosselin is.
The media has been all over the Jon and Kate Plus 8 saga, speculating what "big announcement" the couple will make, as indicated by the promos for tonight's episode. Well, today, the Gosselins filed divorce papers, as was suspected.
There's news today on two professionals Nadya Suleman turned to for help with her octuplets. People are railing against Dr. Michael Kamrava, her fertility doctor, and, in unrelated news, Victor Munoz, her publicist, has quit.
In an apparent reaction to the Nadya Suleman case, Georgia politicians have introduced a bill that would limit the number of embryos implanted in a woman, and prevent the freezing additional embryos.
Ed Doud, father of "octomom" Nadya Suleman, appeared on Oprah today - per his request - and admitted that he questions his daughter's "mental situation," asking Oprah if she'd help him get Nadya evaluated.
Good Morning America is set to interview a mystery man and former sperm donor who he believes he may, in fact, be the father of the Bellflower Octuplets. But should anyone even bother tuning in?
"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts," - Nadya Suleman, "Proud Mother of 14", on the new wesbite at which you can view the octuplets and make donations. [The Nadya Suleman Family]
"Wow, Ann Curry really hates this woman." That was the text sent by a friend at 10:59pm yesterday, following the conclusion of Dateline NBC's special on Nadya Suleman, mom to 14 and enemy to millions.
Some people think that Nadya Suleman, the mother of octoplets and six other kids, is not being celebrated because she is not white. Writes blogger Kenny Darter:
Some say the public outcry against Nadya Suleman, the mother of the Bellflower octuplets, has gone too far, but even her own mother is criticizing her, releasing new details and photos of their cramped home.
The recent outrage over Nadya Suleman's octuplets has created yet another round of difficulties for large families in this country, who are constantly faced with questions from strangers regarding their ethical, religious, and personal beliefs.
