Octo Mom Nadya Suleman opened up to Usmagazine.com Friday at the hospital before visiting her eight newborns. Dressed down in a red shirt that says "Live In Love," Suleman bashed her dad for going on The Oprah Winfrey Show before she had the chance to, and called the donor dad of her 14 children, David Solomon, "an amazing friend."

Us: Is everyone OK? There are reports that your home is in foreclosure.
Suleman: Yeah, [mom Angela] will probably lose it. I mean, that's up to my mom. She's dealing with that. I'm looking for my own place.

See stars' childhood homes!

Us: Will you live with your mom?
S: No. She doesn't want to live with me. I really shouldn't be talking to you at all.

Us: I saw your dad gave an interview to Oprah. Why didn't you?
S: I really wish he didn't. I would have liked to go on Oprah -- since her audience is mainly female, I think it would have heightened things so
much more. You know, it would have been way more emotional. Especially if what I said was taken out of true meaning. So, I didn't think going on would be good for me.

Look back on Oprah's weight highs and lows.

Us: Are you moving into the multi-million dollar home that's been all over the Internet?
S: No. That was just for the interviews.

Us: How was it talking to Dr. Phil ?
S: He was surprisingly very nice and fair, but I really shouldn't be talking to you.

Meet the octuplet babies!

Us: Have you spoken to David Solomon [the sperm donor for your 14 children]?
S: Look, I don't talk about him. I want to protect his privacy.

Us: It's being reported you two met at your job at Metropolitan Hospital.
S: I haven't spoken to him at all.

Us: Report say he's handsome. Are you guys planning a big reveal together?
S: I will say this. We were friends. He is an amazing friend. Strictly platonic, all the lies saying I am so in love and wanted him to leave his wife written in the National Enquirer are totally false.

Us: If you wanted this privacy, then why did you write his name on the birth certificates?
S: Actually I wasn't going to, but the nurses kept pressing me on it. So, I did, but then afterwards, I thought I shouldn't have done that. I didn't even know his birthdate. I just guessed. Then I started leaving it blank.

Us: I saw you went shopping at M.A.C. the other day. Must be nice to get out and break away from your regular routine.
S: Yes, I took my daughter for a girls' day out and needed some lip gloss and stopped by M.A.C. But, they gave me the wrong color. Everyone started
approaching me in the store asking me how I was going to afford my kids and stuff. Some were really nice.

    I feel very sorry for the children. I hate to think about how they're going to be when they grow up...with a mentally deficient mother who cannot even make sense when she talks. She may have a college degree, but she's what I have always called an "educated fool"! I think anyone who gives anything to this woman just wants to be able to brag about it to others.

    I wish she would spend any money she receives on her kids with any and all excess being put in a trust account in their names. Unfortunately, this unemployed single mother of 14 insists on getting manicures and Star Bucks coffees with the money instead. I think she is a very selfish person who did this for herself and only herself. Actions speak louder than words.

    I would like to see people BOYCOTT anything that has to do with Octo Mom. None of those people would be making those huge donations to her if she was not infamous. If you or I were to ask those people for FREE help, they would problaby laugh at us out of town. They are eatng up the publicity and Dr. Phil is milking it for all its worth. We have a highly rewarded, tax- dollar sucking, selfish .
