Looks like Psycho Baby Mama has hit a speed bump. A really BIG one.

Michael Furtney, one of Suleman’s publicists, said he had been taken aback at some of the public reactions to the event — which included death threats against the mother and people boycotting firms that he had done business with because of anger about the case.

“It is sad,” Furtney said. “When you move from an ordinary person to celebrity life, there are no bars or limits. . . . It is the death of privacy.”

He asked for people to be more tolerant until Suleman has told her story but said that at a time when the economy is tanking and people are uncertain of their futures, “she makes a handy target.”

Since Furtney and his partner Joann Killeen became Suleman’s public relations advisors on Friday after Kaiser officials pre-screened the firms, they have been deluged with offers of film, book and television deals, which some publicists said could be worth millions.

Frank Griffin, of the photo agency Bauer-Griffin, said he’s not sure what photos of the octuplets are worth in today’s tough economy.

“If it could go worldwide, maybe half a million dollars,” Griffin said. “A year ago, it might have been worth a million. I just don’t think publications have a million or two to spare.”

But he said it is very important that the babies appear “happy,” especially with the market only interested in photos that may lift people’s spirits.

“You want eight chubby, smiling, healthy faces,” he said. “That’s what you want.”

We get the picture.
