Alleged Sperm Donor Claims He Could Be Octuplets’ Dad

Must be some money out there. A sperm donor claiming that he is the father of 8 kids? Donating sperm alone tells you that the guy is broke as a joke. So…when he sees that there is money because she ended up having octuplets he comes out of the woodwork to cash in as well. Think he wants to help raise them? Yeah…right you think? Actually…

A man who says he may be the biological father of Nadya Suleman’s octuplets is entering the spotlight with an offer to help support the single mom of 14.

In any event the guy is most likely lying to get a bit of press, and money. After this appearance he probalby won’t need to worry about getting laptop deals anytime soon. Great scam I guess.

People.com reported :In an interview airing Monday morning on ABC’s Good Morning America, the man – whose identity the network will reveal on the broadcast – says Suleman brought him to donate sperm at the clinic where she received in vitro fertilization.

Suleman has denied that the man is the father of her children.

Suleman’s representative, Victor Munoz, tells PEOPLE, that the man interviewed by ABC is not the sperm donor who fathered the babies. “The real sperm donor knows who he is. This guy is definitely not the one,” says Munoz. “It’s kind of comical. Nadya’s not sure why he’s doing this.”

What a tool…

Conan O’Brien Taking Over Tonight Show?

Where have I been? I guess I haven’t watched any of these Late Night shows in a couple years so that may be why I haven’t heard this yet. If I were going to watch one of these shows it would be The Conan O’Brien Show of course. All the rest are terrible. Letterman is tired and stale. Leno is just boring. Conan is the only one worth the watch.

Apparently yesterday was his last show? Interesting. Looks like he will have some time to hit up a Westgate resort for a few months as he doesn’t take over The Tonight Show until May.

“This is where they invented television,” O’Brien told Bush. “This is a temple to broadcasting and I leave this place with a heavy heart. It’s been an amazing home to me. I’ve been doing it for 16 seasons and it’s time to change. I think Eric Clapton said, ‘Change or die!’ You’ve gotta move, you’ve gotta evolve, you’ve gotta change. And I think the L.A. chapter will be fascinating because man, am I a fish out of water in Los Angeles and man, that could make some good television.”

“We’re really excited, we have an amazing set up on the Universal lot and we actually kicked the ‘Desperate Housewives’ out of their studio,” he said with a laugh. “We’ve since made up. And that was fun, let me tell you. But now we’re all friends. We lunch together almost every day.”

The Grammy Fashion Show

More important that the actual awards that are given, it seems that people care more about what the stars are wearing. At least pictures of them, and not what they have to say on the red carpet (at least I hope so).

Although most of us don’t even remember what someone wears to these things unless they are super hot, some act as if they are going to make or break their careers with what they wear to these silly ceremonies. Stuff we can’t get with a gift card, or even touch in most cases since they are typically one of a kind.

No way I want to go through all this and tell you about it. No way. Just head over here and look at all the pics and blather from some tool that creamed himself over some girls dress.

Aniston Still Huge Box Office Draw

The movie He’s Just Not That Into You, which was widely regarded by critics as, for lack of a better word, crap, lead all movies at the box office this weekend earning earned $27.5 million during the three days beginning on Friday. Women accounted for 80% of the audience.

The movie is based on a book was itself inspired by the TV show “Sex and the City”. Of course we can only surmise that the movie had the star action to get the people to the theaters pouring their money into the box offices like Grohe faucets.

The movie should probably keep close to the top with Valentin’es Day coming soon as well.

Three other pictures opened in the top 10. The biggest disappointment was Steve Martin’s “The Pink Panther 2,” which came in at No. 4 with $12 million. The first film in Columbia Pictures’ revived comedy franchise opened with $20 million in 2006 and ended up with $82 million. Despite the sequel’s performance, Columbia’s worldwide distribution president Rory Bruer said he “wouldn’t bet against” a third film going into production.

Also new were Focus Features’ stop-motion animated entry “Coraline” at No. 3 with $16.3 million and Summit Entertainment’s sci-fi thriller “Push” at No. 6 with $10.2 million. Both did better than expected, and both feature 14-year-old actress Dakota Fanning.

Octuplets’ Mother Criticizes Daughter

As if having 8 kids at once wasn’t hard enough, the media frenzy around it has to go after some angles after everyone has already covered it.

Many people find the birth of octuplets to this woman to be at the very least an odd situation, but others are speaking out saying that it was outrageous.

Nadya Suleman, a divorced single mother, already had 6 children. She didn’t get pregnant for the octuplets in the old-fashioned way either. All of her pregnancies were started by using a fertility specialist. So…most think that going back after already having 6 children is a bit over the top. She isn’t going to get by without having to buy at least 14 Technomarine watches now.

A Medical Board of California spokeswoman said Friday that it was investigating the doctor — who has not been identified — to see if there was a “violation of the standard of care.” The spokeswoman did not elaborate on the nature of the potential violations.

Now here mother, Angela Suleman, is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth Jan. 26 to the octuplets. She is also very unhappy, and confused by the decision to get pregnant again.

“She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?” Angela Suleman said in the videotaped interview with celebrity news Web site RadarOnline.com. “I’m struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there’s children’s clothing piled all over the house.”

What an odd story this ocutplet situation.
