14 DAY TRIAL // If the “original Octomom” Kate Gosselin could do it (and get paid for it), so can Nadya Suleman: the single mother of 14, perhaps driven by her dire financial situation, has set her eyes on Dancing With the Stars.
As ABC is lining up the celebrities for the 11th season of the all-popular show, Suleman is hoping she can pull a Kate Gosselin and land a spot for herself – for due remuneration, of course.
Her attorney says for TMZ that, at this point, there’s literally nothing Suleman would love more than a chance to prove she’s got the moves in the televised dancing competition.
“Octomom Nadya Suleman may have been a stranger to the rhythm method in the past, but now she’s embracing it for a shot at Dancing With the Stars,” TMZ writes. Clearly, the jokes and puns are almost writing themselves.
Suleman’s attorney, Jeff Czech, confirms for the celebrity gossip website and paparazzi agency that his client feels she’s ready for the challenge of DWTS, and not just physically either.
“Nadya is in top physical shape. She has been working out for months. She has had a strong interest in dance and Dancing with the Stars is one of the few shows that she takes time to watch,” Czech says.
He adds: “She’d love to do it.” Getting paid for her appearance on the show could have also been a strong argument in Nadya’s decision, one may as well assume.
Sadly, as much as Suleman wants to be on DWTS, perhaps even hoping it will help her pay the bills while she sorts out her messy finances, TMZ says chances of that happening are slim to none.
“Our spies at Dancing tell us Nadya is not on their short list. We’re thinkin’ she should be... because at the very least she’s got a built-in audience at home,” the e-zine writes.
We also reported the other day that word in the tabs says that Suleman is nearly broke, having signed over her new house (estimated at over $500,000) to her attorney, the same Czech.
The deals she was hoping to make never came to happen, interest in her is fading fast and, aside from the 14 mouths she has to feed, she also has to pay the bills while holding to no steady job.
At this point, landing a spot on Dancing With the Stars would be the best thing that could happen to Suleman, it is being said.
