Nadya Suleman "Octomom" leaves her home in La Habra, Calif. on Monday, Jan. 25, 2010. A year after giving birth, the single, unemployed woman seems to have learned that one way to raise her 14 children is to exploit the celebrity media for attention and money that can be used to bring up her brood.
It's been almost a year since the birth of her octuplets, and now Nadya Suleman, 34, is showing off her bikini body in Star Magazine.

She claims she has had no surgery and snapped back with exercise.
"I would feel like I cheated," she tells Star. "I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it on my own, naturally. My friends call me Rubber Band because I always snapped back so quickly after my other kids!"
