BEIJING, June 1 -- The Southern California octuplet
mom has signed a deal to star in a reality television series, her lawyer said
Sunday.
Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to the world's
longest-surviving set of octuplets, agreed to be filmed for a proposed
television show by 3Ball Productions, attorney Jeff Czech said.

People magazine reported Sunday May 31, 2009, on its website that Suleman
reportedly signed a deal to star in a reality television series to be
filmed by a British production company. Suleman gave birth to the six boys
and two girls in January and also has six other children.(Photo source:

The woman says she's "excited" about filming a
reality show featuring her life with 14 children.
The company, which is a subsidiary of Amsterdam-based
Eyeworks International, hasn't yet sold the show to any American television
network, he said.
The show will be modeled after a successful Eyeworks
TV series in Denmark that documents the lives of four children from the day they
were born until they become adults.
"They came up with this idea, presented to her and
she liked it because she'll get to use a camera and do some of the filming
herself," Czech told The Associated Press.
He said film crews will not follow Suleman and her
children 24 hours a day, but will document certain milestones such as birthdays
and special events.
"It'll be less intrusive than a reality TV type of
program," Czech said.
A call to 3Ball wasn't immediately returned Sunday.
The Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based company is the creator such reality TV shows
as "The Biggest Loser," "For Love Or Money" and "Beauty & The Geek."
