Nadya Suleman, the Southern California insane woman who gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets, has signed a deal to star in a reality television series, her lawyer said Sunday.
After weeks of meetings and negotiations, Suleman, who gave birth to the six boys and two girls in January and also has six other children, agreed to be filmed for a proposed television show by Eyeworks, a British production company, attorney Jeff Czech said. But the company hasn't yet sold the show to any American television network, he added.
The show will be modeled after a successful Eyeworks TV series in Denmark that documents the lives of four children from the day they were born until they become adults. Czech said film crews will not follow Suleman and her children 24 hours a day, but will document certain milestones such as birthdays and special family events.
Suleman also finalized a book deal with ghostwriter Wendy Lee, who wrote Life with My Sister Madonna with Christopher Ciccone, to pen her autobiography. Czech said his client is more excited about the book deal than any other projects. "She's really looking forward to telling her story and speaking out about how she was raised, how her children are feeling, what they are asking about and things about the donor dad."
