Ripley's Fertility Exhibit Warns Octu-Mom Away

Suleman, Dr Phil, Allred are reportedly hatching 'rescue plan'

(Newser) – Nadya Suleman seems to be everywhere these days, but one place you probably won’t see her is the new fertility exhibit at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium, TMZ reports. Reps from the Hollywood museum are urging the mother of 14 to stay away from the statues, which have reportedly helped more than 2000 women get pregnant just by touching them.

Luckily, Suleman may be too busy making secret plans with Dr Phil McGraw to visit any museums. The private summit between McGraw, Suleman, and lawyer Gloria Allred also included reps from Angels in Waiting, the nonprofit whose help Suleman famously declined, E! reports. The meeting, which was not recorded, involved coming up with a “rescue plan” for the family, a source said.
