Earlier this morning, we expressed our doubts about TMZ’s claim that Nadya “Octomom” Suleman had actually received an offer from Vivid. Well, we stand corrected: we’ve now seen the press release ourselves.
HAS OCTOMOM’S LUCK CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?
VIVID ENTERTAINMENT OFFERS MOTHER OF OCTUPLETS UP TO $1-MILLION PLUS HEALTH INSURANCE TO MAKE A MOVIE
LOS ANGELES – (February 25, 2009) – Nadya Suleman, the controversial mom who made history after giving birth to octuplets, is being offered a deal of up to $1-million plus a year of health insurance for her family to make a movie with Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film company.
“Nadya obviously needs income to assure that her children are secure so we are offering her up to $1-million to act in one movie,” said Steven Hirsch co-chairman of Vivid. “We’ve had many single mothers work with us over the years and their income from Vivid has been very important to them. We would schedule production so that the movie could be shot in less than one week.”
According to recent reports Nadya’s PR agency has stopped representing her, a book agent decided not to handle her story and she’s being derided by ordinary citizens who say that taxpayers will wind up paying her hospital tab and future expenses.
“There is a tremendous amount of interest in Nadya and we can help her capitalize on that interest and put some real cash in her bank account,” said Mr. Hirsch. As with our Vivid Girls, she would have her choice of partners, including ‘Octodad.’”
Mr. Hirsch said a movie staring Nadya would be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint. Vivid-Celeb has released titles starring Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and most recently, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, who chose the studio to make her transition from NBC daytime star to hardcore porn star with “Faithless,” which has become a top seller since its debut on February 4th.
We’re still a bit baffled as to why Vivid is going this route: as we mentioned before, Nadya doesn’t really fit the classic Vivid Girl image—and stunts like this have usually been the domain of other companies. But hey: with the economy in the toilet, and piracy threatening to take down the adult industry, maybe a porn video of fourteen-time MILF really is the only thing we can believe in.
UPDATE: We’ve gotten word of what the proposed film is about.
UPDATE: And… she said no. Well, that was fun—same time next year?
