   Nadya Suleman won’t be getting a dating reality show anytime soon, report says

Nadya Suleman, also known as OctoMom in the media, is not quite the most popular celebrity out there at the moment. However, curiosity about her next project, whether that is a reality show or not, has soared this past weeks, with the situation culminating with reports that she’d be doing a dating reality show. Yet that’s not to happen – just not now, at least, Radar Online has learned.

Amid talk that Suleman has met with television bosses and several other media people in order to get the ball moving on a reality show that would see her – at least at first – as a single mom of 14 looking for love, Radar comes to set the record straight: a meeting did take place but it did not end with Suleman getting a job. That is to say, OctoMom will not get her own reality show just yet and neither will she appear in a major project. The only thing that she’ll be doing next that is television-related is put in an appearance on The View.

“OctoMom Nadya Suleman does not have a gig with the Game Show Network, Radar Online has exclusively learned. As Radar Online first reported, the mother of 14 children secretly met with GSN executives to talk about a TV job. A network spokesman now says those talks were far ranging and Nadya was not asked to do a screen test,” Radar writes after talking to officials with the Game Show Network, which had reportedly contacted Suleman for a show.

“The network talent executive left those meetings with a positive impression of Nadya. But she wasn’t offered a job. Nadya, however, has been booked to appear on The View on Wednesday. America’s most famous mom has been criticized in the past for relying on state money to feed her children, so she is obviously making the TV rounds to pay the bills. A final note from that GSN talent executive: He says she gave him some really good child care tips,” Radar further says.

One might as well note that, while the aforementioned e-zine says Suleman did not get a job offer this time, the fact that the talent executive for the network was impressed with her leaves the door open to a possible collaboration. Stay tuned here for more on this.
