Octomom Natalie ‘Nadya' Suleman Revealed the Jaw-Dropping Amount She Spends on Groceries Each Month
Despite being known as the Octomom, Natalie 'Nadya' Suleman is actually a mom of 14, and with 14 kids comes a hefty grocery bill each month. In an interview with Us Weekly, while promoting Lifetime's docuseries Confessions of Octomom, Suleman talked about how she manages to buy groceries for a household of 15. More from SheKnows Ashlee Simpson Shared Daughter Jagger's Reaction to Chopping off Most of Her Hair 'We find a lot of things on sale. I budget really well, and we all eat very, very healthfully,' she said, talking about how her children are vegan, so she avoids buying meat, dairy, or eggs. 'I focus mainly on what matters — the plant-based whole foods, the fruits and vegetables.' She noted how her grocery bill at Gelson's, an upscale Southern California-based grocer, was $366.94. 'I spend that maybe every other day. So it's still $4,000 or $5,000 a month on groceries on average. And now, if we went above and beyond and we got extras and extra food, we could easily be $10,000 a month. Because of the budgeting, it's about half,' she said. So, they at least spend $48,000 on groceries, and at most, around $60,000. Despite previous bankruptcies and bounding around homes in the early 2010s, she and her children now live in a three-bedroom townhome in Orange County at a discounted rate thanks to someone she met at church, per People. To gain this type of money, there's obviously her public projects like this Lifetime special, she is reported to be working as a counselor full time, occasionally does 'international photoshoots' and uses public assistance. Before the octuplets, she did IVF treatments, she had her first son named Elijah in 2001, then a daughter named Amerah in 2002. She then welcomed two more sons named Joshua, born in 2003, and Aidan, born in 2005, and fraternal twins named Calyssa and Caleb in 2006. Then, many may know, she welcomed eight kids in Jan 2009 named Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Josiah, Jeremiah, and Makai, giving birth to the first surviving octuplets.

Prebiotic Iced Tea Brand Halfday Unveils Brand Refresh, New Flavors and Expanded Southern California Footprint
Halfday, the 'better-for-you,' gut-healthy iced tea brand made with prebiotics, has unveiled all-new packaging across its entire lineup. Alongside the brand refresh, the company is launching a classic Half & Half flavor, with a limited-edition summer release coming soon. With one of its co-founders having spent significant time in Los Angeles growing the brand, Halfday has become a staple in the region's beverage market. Available in over 1,000 grocery stores across L.A. and Southern California – including Erewhon, Gelson's, Bristol Farms, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Ralphs, Pavilions and more – the brand's commitment to delivering refreshing, gut-healthy iced tea has been resonating with Angelenos. Launching alongside a new brand tagline and campaign titled 'Make a Break for It' – a nod to its maverick spirit – the refresh aims to surprise Halfday's loyal customers while captivating a new generation of iced tea drinkers. Halfday's reimagined branding and packaging are designed to stand out in the competitive beverage market while preserving its playful tone and ethos. The new look and feel, which is currently rolling out online and in retailers across Southern California and nationwide, features an updated version of Halfday's logo in a bold, modernized typeface that underscores the brand's evolution. 'From day one, Halfday has been about delivering more than just iced tea. It's about crafting moments of joy and wellness that feel both authentic and refreshing,' said Halfday co-founder Mike Lombardo. 'This rebrand marks a pivotal moment for us, showcasing how far we've come and the bold and innovative future we're building. We're here to redefine iced tea with gut-healthy benefits and significantly less sugar without ever compromising on taste.' Halfday products contain 6g of prebiotic fiber, which boosts gut health, an essential element inspired by co-founder Kayvon Jahanbakhsh's health journey. 'My personal experience with ulcerative colitis was a motivating factor in creating Halfday, and it continues to shape our mission today,' said Jahanbakhsh. 'Our refreshed design is an exciting way to reintroduce Halfday to the beverage aisle. While our look may have evolved, our commitment to delivering a better-for-you take on a beloved classic remains unwavering. This redesign is just the beginning of our vision for Halfday as we grow into the future.' As part of its rebrand, Halfday will introduce its signature GOODDAY Prebiotic Blend in every can (a blend of cassava root fiber, fructan fiber and organic agave inulin) to include more prebiotic sources. 'The decision to introduce our new Prebiotic Blend is in direct response to consumer feedback. By slightly reducing the fiber, we're making Halfday easier to enjoy multiple times a day without compromising quality or taste,' said Lombardo. 'It's all about creating a better-for-you beverage that fits seamlessly into daily routines.'

Dave Grohl puffs on a cigarette, appears stressed after mother of his secret love child is revealed
Dave Grohl appears to be smoking his stress away. The rock star was spotted seemingly distressed and puffing on a cigarette as he walked through Los Angeles on Friday, just hours after Page Six exclusively revealed the identity of the mother of his secret love child. The Foo Fighters frontman was seen grabbing lunch at Chateau Marmont before he ran some errands at the grocery store Gelson's and CVS. Grohl wore his hair tied up and sported a baseball cap for the casual outing. He also rocked a green collared shirt and a pair of black jeans. Jennifer Young, 38, revealed us on Friday that the 'Everlong' hitmaker, 56, is the father of her baby girl, whom he welcomed while still married to his wife of 21 years, Jordyn Blum. Young lives a quiet life with her mother in their LA neighborhood. She requested that the baby's name not be disclosed 'because there's some really angry fans.' 'Protecting her identity is really important,' she told us. Grohl shocked fans in September 2024 when he announced that he welcomed a child with another woman a month after the baby was born. 'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,' he said on Instagram at the time. 'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.' Grohl is also dad to daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10, all of whom he shares with his wife, whom he has been married to since 2003. The infidelity has allegedly taken a toll on Blum as a source previously told People she stopped wearing her wedding ring before news of Grohl's affair surfaced. Grohl allegedly hired a divorce attorney prior to his announcement, but reportedly dismissed the lawyer in November as he attempted to 'work things out' with his wife. 'He knows he messed up. It's one of those situations where you don't realize what you have until you're about to lose it. He doesn't want to lose his family,' a source said at the time. He and Blum were pictured together earlier this month, and things seem to be going well for the couple as they were seen wearing their wedding rings.
