Suleman told us that the kids will be home in Los Angeles while she travels to town for the fight, which she says is gonna be fun. Now working as a fitness coach, Suleman says she hopes to launch a children's fitness program.
"To me it's a vacation to be away from my kids for an hour," Suleman said. "I miss them, I want to be with them, but to have a few hours away is amazing to me."
Suleman says that she is "a person turned into a parody without permission" and dislikes the nickname Octomom, but admits that she has no choice but to embrace it in order to make money.
"I shrugged it off and laughed at it" Suleman told us. "But what am I going to do? I have to generate revenue to take care of these kids. I don't take myself seriously."
She also answered the question of whether she had planned to pose nude or do porn, as had been rumored.
"Absolutely absurd," she said. "Me, of all people. I have had one boyfriend my whole life, 12 years ago. What kind of sick people would try to insult a mother who doesn't believe in anything casual?"
She probably won't be entering the bikini contest also taking place during her event. But if you are interested in entering that or the Strongest Man in South Jersey contest, email

Tickets are $20 at webtix.net, and the Suleman fight will also be broadcast at Battlecam.com.
Andy hams it up with Chesney
Eagles coach Andy Reid joined country star Kenny Chesney onstage Saturday at the Linc, where he presented Chesney with an Eagles helmet. Chesney gave Reid his cowboy hat and kept the helmet on while performing "Boys of Fall," which he used in a documentary that he made on high-school football. Playing to the sold-out crowd, Chesney also wore a Phillies hat during the show.
