While Suleman wouldn't take the $1 million offered by Vivid's Steve Hirsch, she could soon have Hirsch...as her landlord.
OctoMom Faces Eviction from La Habra Home. Again.
Fame is a fickle thing, and if your fame wanes, so do the ways to keep the cash coming in. Add a brood of 14 young children to clothe, feed, and shelter, and, well, life gets pretty expensive. We're still talking about "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, as her octuplets near their 2nd birthday, thanks to her alleged inability to pay the bills. Once again, the single mom whose penchant for pregnancy catapulted her into the spotlight is facing eviction from her La Habra home, according to an AP report published in the Daily News.

OctoMom's Yard Sale Draws Big Crowds, Little Cash
Nadya Suleman's yard sale drew enough crowds of rubber-necking looky-loos to warrant her La Habra street to be closed down, but did not bring enough cash to keep the banker at bay, according to the OC Register.
OctoMom Will Autograph Her Undies at Her Yard Sale Today
She wouldn't do porn, but she let PETA put propaganda in her yard just to get a paycheck. Today Nadya Suleman, aka OctoMom, is putting herself, and a bunch of her junk, in her yard to sell so she can pay her mortgage, according to cbs2.

$5K and Veggie Burgers = OctoMom's PETA Paycheck
She said no to a porn film, but yes to an unusual self-lampooning trade with PETA. Today OctoMom Nadya Suleman will unveil a sign in her front yard advocating spaying and neutering household pets in exchange for some cash and food from the animal rights group, according to KTLA.
Octomom to Advocate Spaying & Neutering on Her Front Lawn
Facing foreclosure on her La Habra home, Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, has agreed to accept an offer from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wherein she takes cash to apply to her mortgage in exchange for posting a sign on her lawn. News of her acceptance was made public via Suleman's attorney, according to LA Now. The sign will include a message cautioning all not to let their dogs and cats become "Octomoms" and to have them spayed or neutered. Suleman found herself in the position of losing the home she purchased last year for her and her 14 children when she fell behind on payments on the $450,000 home loan still carried by the previous owner.
Octomom to Foreclose on her La Habra Home?
It looks like Nadya Suleman--aka "Octomom"--is very behind on her mortgage payments, according to TMZ and various other sources. If so, that means it's another adventure in moving for her and her 14 children because of a $450,000 lapse in a balloon payment due on the house bought just a year ago in La Habra for $565,000.
More than $4,000 Spent on Octomom by Police
It wasn't the $25,000 the LAPD spent to help Britney Spears get to the hospital last year, but the La Habra police department estimates that more than $4,000 in resources have been used to help Octomom Nadya Suleman. Specifically, $4,000 has been spent on overtime for officers, but other costs such as responding to calls were not factored, says the Pasadena Star News. "Virtually all police services are free to residents of the community," said Cindy Knapp, spokeswoman for the La Habra Police Department. "There are no legal provisions or paths for cost recovery under the specific circumstances or service provided to the Sulemans at this point." Police began to help Suleman after she brought home the first two babies and was swarmed by paparazzi (see the crazy video here).
OctoMom on the Baby Daddy: 'I'll never disclose who he is.'
On Tuesday, when OctoMom Nadya Suleman brought home two of her eight newborns to the family's new La Habra home, she was greeted by a mob scene comprised mostly of media and their furiously snapping cameras (and some locals celebrating St. Patty's day on her lawn, it would seem). So when two more babies came home yesterday, there was far less fanfare, because "the hospital apparently kept the release of the babies quiet at Suleman’s request," explains the OC Register.

Although she professed feeling nervous about the safety of her newborns, she did not seem to mind the crowds--in fact, footage captured of the arrival shows her looking amused and pleased with the attention.

The Week in Weeklies
By week's end, LA is regularly littered with a handful of free rags. Combined, these publications put the Tribune Company's Spring Street operation LA Times to shame as far as reporting on the dozens of municipalities that make up this metropolis of more than 12 million people. LAist reads the weeklies so you don't have to. If there's anything we missed, let us know, or better yet drop it in the comments section below....

Krispy Kreme Fallen In Their Own Donut Hole?
Lately we've heard a lot of scuttlebutt on the local and national level about outposts of the hot and heavy-making donut purveyor Krispy Kreme locking their doors for good with little or no notice. Last week, at one of those typical meeting of the minds where baked goods are often set out in the attempt to temporarily appease or possibly numb attendees, the bringer of the Krispy Kremes let us know that this time...
La Habra bomb threat
This morning students at Sonora High in La Habra had a break from school after authorities received a bomb threat at 7:30am. A "suspicious duffel bag" was found and removed; nobody was hurt. No word on what was found in the duffel bag, or if they blew it up, like they sometimes do.
911 is a Joke in Your Town
If you live in Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Artesia, Downey, Bellflower and Westminster anyway. Verizon has a glitch that is preventing all kinds of telephonic conversation in those parts of town and we're thinking that a rainy SoCal day is really not the day you want the phone lines to go down. First the power goes out, then the fires, now the mudslides, hail and the phones go down?
Don't Mess with the 42nd District
Maybe local politicians aren't so boring after all. The Daily News says that US Congressman Gary Miller of the 42nd District -- which covers Diamond Bar, Whittier, La Habra Heights and Rowland Heights in LA County -- got into a shoving match with a CNN cameraman. Apparently after being manhandled by the cameraman, who must've wanted a better shot of Arnold, Miller pushed back saying, "do it again, push me again."
