OctoMom Nadya Suleman hedged today when Dr. Phil asked her if the videotape of the births had ever been for sale -- "not certain," she said. Well, we're here to tell you it was for sale, because we saw it ... and we were asked to make an offer.
Harvey Levin saw the tape last Thursday. It's edited, but shows the births. Nadya told Dr. Phil the person who shot it was a close friend. When you see the video, it's clear the friend was annoying the doctors and nurses by getting in the way.
The agency that was brokering the deal told TMZ it was showing the video to various media outlets and would accept bids, but the agency put a temporary hold on the deal on Friday.
Let's put it this way. We've seen enough births now to last us 'tll 2011.

TMZ has learned Steve Wynn's marriage is over for a second time -- a divorce petition was filed in Clark County Court Las Vegas.
Wynn married Elaine in 1963. They divorced in 1986 and married again in 1991. They have two kids.
Wynn's fortune was estimated at around $3.9 billion, but that was before the economy tanked.
The 67-year-old Wynn and his wife were kidnapping victims -- one of their daughters was taken for ransom in 1993. She was returned after Wynn paid $1.45 million to the kidnappers. The culprits were later caught when they tried to buy a Ferrari with the loot.

TMZ now has all the details about the secret late-night recording sessions between Rihanna and Chris Brown -- and they were jam-packed with emotion and serious drama, with some playful touching -- seriously.
The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music.
Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of "late night" sessions that we're told were "very, very emotional ... the feeling in the room was pure love." Clearly, love hurts.
As for how they got along, they were "playfully touching each other."
We're told the song was originally written for Rihanna before the fight, but after the beat down the producer believed the track -- which ironically focuses on overcoming difficult challenges as a couple -- would be the perfect duet.

Dad is a '49er, but his kid is a frickin' 10.
Joe Montana, 52, may have won 4 Super Bowls, 3 Super Bowl MVPs, and is arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time -- but he never had a body like his son Nate.

Another stupid fight between Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson -- but this one has an even more ridiculous ending.
Sam peeled outta Prive nightclub in Vegas solo last night and when Lindsay figured out she'd been ditched, she totally flipped, crying as she yelled, "Did she leave ... did she f**king leave?!" She then ordered security to get her her "f**king keys, now!"
"Please" might work better next time.

TMZ knows who triggered the fight that left Rihanna battered and bruised and Chris Brown an accused felon -- it's Brown's manager.
Sources tell us the woman who left the three-page text message on Brown's cell phone is Tina Davis. Davis -- who turns 40 this month -- was rumored to have had a relationship with Brown when he was 16. Brown and Davis have denied it.
Law enforcement tells us the text message to Brown talked about hooking up later -- and it totally pissed off Rihanna. She slapped and hit him and he then brutally fired back.
The detective's affidavit refers to the text message as being "from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."
Davis could not be reached for comment.

As TMZ first reported, the birth tape is DEFINITELY being shopped.

Chris Rock's brother Tony has been charged with drunk driving.
The Los Angeles City Attorney has filed two DUI charges -- driving under the influence and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher.
After his arrest, Rock told TMZ he had been pounding Patron and then flooring it on the 101 Freeway.
Rock, also a comedian in his own right, made the stupid mistake of mocking his arrest and saying he would skip the alcohol ed course. Wrong, if he's convicted. He could also be sentenced to six months in the pokey.
