Judge will allow Octomom strip show at rival strip club to proceed

An effort to cancel a Florida strip-club performance by the woman known as "Octomom" has been denied by a Florida judge.

Circuit Judge Timothy McCarthy has ruled against holding an emergency hearing requested by T's Lounge in West Palm Beach, saying the situation does not "constitute a legal emergency."

T's Lounge was trying to thwart Nadya Suleman's scheduled appearance Friday at a competing club. She had signed a contract to dance topless at T's this week but later backed out in favor of The Playhouse Gentleman's Club in Hollywood.

That show can go on, though a lawsuit against her filed by T's will likely proceed.

T's says Suleman backed out of a contract for eight shows set to begin Wednesday, her 37th birthday. Under the contract, she could back out with 35 days' notice; T's says she gave 34. It also barred Suleman from appearing at another strip club within 50 miles and 90 days of her engagements in West Palm Beach.
