Co-chairman of adult film company Vivid Entertainment, Steven Hirsch, announced he would pay off the Octomum's mortgage if she starred in one of his movies.

The mother of 14, who has children ranging in age from one to eight, is under financial pressure and could be kicked out of her Southern California home.

Foreclosure proceeding to be begin

Mortgage holder Amer Haddadin says he is starting foreclosure proceedings on the $US565,000 ($A614,000) La Habra residence because the family hasn't kept up the payments.

His friend and adviser, Ramsey Masso, says Haddadin signed over the home to Suleman's father last year.

Ed Suleman, who leased the home to his daughter, was supposed to pay about $US4,000 ($A4,350) a month and a final balloon payment of $US450,000 ($A490,000) that was due earlier this month.

Masso says the family was late on recent payments and also missed the balloon payment.

PETA offer taken up

Ms Suleman rejected Mr Hirsch's offer, instead opting for a much more modest one from animal rights group, PETA.

PETA will pay Ms Suleman $US5000 ($A5,500) to display a sign in her garden that reads: "Don't let your dog or cat become an Octomum".

Ms Suleman had widespread support when she gave birth to eight babies in January 2009, but public opinion quickly turned against her when it was revealed she was single and had conceived the babies using IVF.

She had six other young children at the time of the births.
