Nadya "Octomom" Suleman, 36, says she's not ashamed of posing nearly nude for a British women's magazine, Closer.

Suleman called in to "TMZ Live" and said she made the decision to go half-naked because the shoot was for a women's magazine, not a men's magazine, and she didn't think the spread would be "hyper-sexualized."

Suleman said she needs money to feed her 14 children, and there's nothing wrong with showing off your bod for $10,000. "I'm not ashamed of doing it ... I feel as though no woman or man should be ashamed of their body."

In the Closer interview, Suleman says "I just pinged back into shape like a rubber band after the kids-aaI don't know how I did it."

Octomom also says she plans to be single for a long time. "Men love me -- but I will be celibate for the next 15 years."
