"I feel ashamed, but who cares how I feel," she told NBC's "Today" show. "It's 100 percent about my children."

She recently posed topless for a British magazine for $8,000; however, she refuses to do pornography even if someone offered her "100 million dollars."

"I won't touch other human flesh," she said. "I will not lose my grip of my deeply indoctrinated morals and values."

She is also creating an online venture called "Octomom TV" as well as working for "Dial-A-Star" which allows people to talk to celebrities.

"My priority is my children -- their health, their well-being, their safety," she said.
