Well, we knew it was coming...

[I Am What I Am]

Octuplet mother Nadya Suleman has signed agreements for each of her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality television show. The contracts filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court guarantee the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years. The contracts require a judge's approval.
European production company Eyeworks has inked the deal with Suleman. Eyeworks lists "Breaking Bonaduce" and "The Biggest Loser" among its television credits.
The show is slated to begin filming Sept. 1, according to the documents.
The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman's kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate.

It's like a spin-off to Jon and Kate + 8, except this show STARTS with a single mother..

 

[nerdylightbulb]

And we all say we won't watch it, even though we all will...

 

[goofypurple]

If the mom gets married, this will end up just like Jon and Kate plus 8.
Poor kids. Pooor 22 kids (both from octuplet mom and j+k)

Not me. I hate those kind of shows.
No offense to them, but I really don't care what Jon & Kate Plus Eight do..or this Octomom or whatever her name is.
I can't stand those reality shows.

There are, however they don't really apply to reality shows necessarily because the kids aren't acting. They're just living their lives basically.
At least I'm pretty sure there aren't any laws for it. But don't hold me to it lol.

there are. and if its a tlc show, they make sure to work around all of those. someone reported j&k+8 once, but tlc's lawyers proved that they were workign within the child laws.
