(Newser) – A fight promoter in Massachusetts is looking for a volunteer willing to deck not only a woman, but a mother of 14. "Octomom" Nadya Suleman will be the featured fighter in a celebrity boxing match in Springfield later this month, reports the Republican. The controversial mom and her opponent will wear oversized gloves and go three 1-minute rounds.

“It’s just a fun fight, nothing serious," a Celebrity Boxing Federation spokesman says. “We would love to have a radio personality or someone well-known in the community who has a following and wants to get in the ring with Nadya. She has a great attitude about it and just wants to have a good time."

Octomom Files for Bankruptcy

Nadya Suleman reconsidering porn offers

(NEWSER) - Child-rich but cash-poor California mother Nadya Suleman filed for bankruptcy yesterday. The mother of 14, including her famous 3-year-old octuplets, has some $50,000 in assets, but owes up to $1 million to her father, a Christian school, the city of La Habra's water department, and the previous owner of her house, which is now in foreclosure, the Orange County Register reports. "I have to do what is best for my children, and I need a fresh start," says Suleman, who was recently visited by social services following claims her children were living in squalor . More»

Octo-Kids Living in Squalor?

Police, social services visit Octomom Nadya Suleman

(NEWSER) - Social workers visited Nadya Suleman's home last night after an official complaint—by the Octomom's own hairstylist—that her 14 children are living in "general neglect." TMZ has the pictures that triggered the investigation, and while some of the allegations are less than hard-hitting (the kids are barefoot outside?! Horrors!), others are admittedly gross (children pooping in an outdoor training potty because only one indoor toilet works) and/or disturbing (Suleman allegedly locked the kids in a bedroom, blocking the door with a chair). Police officers and social service workers did not find the kids to be in danger during last night's visit, KTLA reports, but the inquiry will continue. More»

Octomom: IVF Treatments Were a Mistake

But Nadya Suleman says she's doing the best she can

(NEWSER) - After 14 kids and major money troubles, "Octomom" Nadya Suleman is admitting that, yes, the fertility treatments that ended in octuplets were a mistake. "Was it a mistake to have IVF after having six children already?" she was asked on NBC Dateline. "Yes, absolutely," she answered. "Was I in my lucid state of mind? I don't know at that point." Suleman, who vowed never to go on welfare after her latest eight babies were born, is now getting $2,000 a month in food stamps , and posed nude recently to raise money for her family. "I have to do what I have to do to take care of my family, and I'm not ashamed at all," she told Anderson Cooper of the nudie shoot . She told another interviewer: "I'm working as hard as I possibly can to support them." More»

Octomom Goes on Welfare, Gets Threats

Nadya Suleman's family now getting $2K a month from California

(NEWSER) - Octomom is on the skids: Things have gotten so tight for Nadya Suleman that not only did she give the world topless pictures that no one ever, ever wanted to see, she is now officially on welfare. And it seems that many a California taxpayer is incensed at the prospect of Suleman and her tribe of 14 kids taking public assistance, because TMZ reports that since it broke the story, Suleman has received scads of angry phone calls and even death threats. A typical sentiment: "Die, b****. I’m not working for your f***ing kids, you’re the one that wanted them." Suleman, for the record, qualifies for $2,000 a month in public assistance because her household makes less than $119,000 a year. More»
