In an interview with The Today Show’s Matt Lauer, Olympic champion Michael Phelps speaks out about the now infamous photo of him smoking marijuana from a bong.

“It was– really, you know, the people I hurt, you know, is my family, clearly. My friends,” he says. “The close people around me. And most importantly, the fans. And– and, you know, I realize that that hurt a lot of people.”

While the 23-year-old admits that what he did was “bad judgement” and “a mistake,” he insists he and his friends were just celebrating: “I mean, we were just celebrating, honestly. And– you know, there was probably two or three people there I didn’t know. It was a very small group. Six or seven people probably total in the whole house. Like nothing major. You know, not like a giant college house party. It was nothing like that. It was just a small group and we were just sitting around and celebrating.”

Part 1 Nadya Suleman Interview With Ann Curry….

Posted on 06. Feb, 2009 by CSS.

The Today Show presented Part I of NBC correspondent Ann Curry’s interview with Nadya Suleman on Friday. The unemployed divorcee is now the mother of fourteen children after giving birth to the world’s first surviving set of octuplets in California last week.

“I’m providing myself to my children. I’m loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally. Everything I do. I’ll stop my life for them and be present with them. And hold them. And be with them. And how many parents do that? I’m sure there are many that do, but many don’t. And that’s unfortunate. That is selfish.”

Nadya says he intends to return to college in the fall to complete a master’s degree in counseling She had worked in a state mental hospital from 1997-2006, but spent much of the past decade on disability after injuring her back in a riot at the facility in 1999.

Nadya has received disability payments from the State of California. She and her children live with her mother, Angela Suleman, in Whittier, California.

Oh man, this just makes me so sad for her children- they are the innocent parties here! Her statement that ’she will provide them with herself’ – the look on her face she looks completely unstable.

And then Ann discussing Nadya’s hope for the donor to be in the childrens lives- isn’t that the opposite point of ‘donation’???

Watching the interview with Nadya gave me chills- she has crazy eyes!
