An Indiana prisoner claims his swimmers are responsible for Kate Gosselin's eight AND Octomom Nadya Suleman's latest litter ... and now he wants his supposed spawn to come live with him in lockdown.
In the most entertaining handwritten court papers you'll ever read, Jonathan Lee Riches -- who has filed many lawsuits against celebs in the past -- wants custody of the Gosselin kids, the Suleman kids, John Edwards' love child, all the kids on "ABC's 'All My Children'" and Bristol Palin's child "which Bristol kidnapped from Linda Tripp."
In the awesome papers, filed in Illinois, Riches claims he met Kate "at a Harrisburg Long John Silvers over octopuss" -- and when Kate went to a fertility clinic in 2002, his "sperm was added to the mix."
More awesome lines included in the papers:
-- "TLC stands for Torturing Little Children."
-- "Jon Gosselin is really a woman on steroids."
-- "I sued Black History Month."
There's much more awesomeness to be had ... JUST READ THE PAPERS.

With her transition from male British rock star to lesbian school marm now complete, daytime TV's favorite transgendered heroine, Zarf/Zoe, made her last pantyhosed prance on "All My Children."
Having educated the good people of Pine Valley on the wonders of gender reassignment, Zarf set out for the European leg of her transformational tour, but not before giving a heartfelt thanks to Erica Kane -- woman to woman.
Zarf, played by Jeffrey Carlson, made television history as the first transgendered lesbian character on a daytime soap. With his updos and Talbots suits behind him, Carlson will now star in The Shakespeare Theater Company's production of "Hamlet" in D.C.
Fly little Zarf, fly!

Everyone's favorite "All My Children" male-to-female transgendered lesbian rock star, Zarf/Zoe, has taken sleepy Pine Valley by fashion storm.
From her brisk gender-neutral goth power suits, to her little black cocktail/funeral dress ... he/she is setting genderbending trends by going from androgynous British rocker to "Murphy Brown" working grrrl -- faster than you can say, "Do these pumps come in a size 14?"
Watch as Zarf/Zoe (played by actor Jeffrey Carlson) transforms before your very eyes!

Housewives across the country got a little lesson in transgenderism on Friday's episode of "All My Children."
The soap furthered the storyline of transgendered lesbian character Zarf/Zoe's quest to transition from male to female. On today's educational and partially unscripted episode, Zarf, played by male actor Jeffrey Carlson, ventured to a support group where he encountered trans persons, played by genuine transgendered actors in various stages of undergoing the change. Janice Dickinson must have been unavailable, but a Sandra Oh lookalike was!
For a brief moment, the ABC soap diverged from their laughable Satin Slayer storyline to expose audiences to more diverse characters in a positive light. Let's hope this noble effort doesn't turn into the serial's killer, or kill the serial.

This week, "All My Children" launched the first male-to-female transgendered storyline in daytime TV. Actor Jeffrey Carlson plays a British gender-switching rock star with the unlikely name of Zarf, who is having a flirtation with Erica's Kane's (Susan Lucci's) lesbian daughter, Bianca (Eden Riegel). Zarf bears a striking resemblance to "Project Runway" finalist, Austin Scarlett.
It had been hoped that the storyline would give "AMC" a lift from a serious ratings plunge. Rather than play it with any seriousness, producers have chosen to portray the character as a ridiculous, wild-eyed cartoon homosexual, who is snickered at by nearly everyone in the show. Tacky.
According to longtime pinevalleybulletin.com blogger Kathy Carano, "AMC needs a kick in the ass and they're hoping Zarf will do just that, but AMC's recent track record of ruining potentially great storylines weighs heavily on a lot of fans."
The soap's been struggling for plots to prop up ratings; they even undid Erica's groundbreaking 1973 abortion and ventured into the absurd by coming up with her long lost son, who'd been "transplanted into another woman at the time of the abortion."
Oh, the humanity.

CBS' "The Young and the Restless" earned a leading 18 Daytime Emmy nominations on Wednesday, including best soap opera, although no one from its cast was nominated in the lead acting categories.
Ellen DeGeneres, whose hit daytime series won best talk show the last two years and who was also named best talk show host last year, has a chance to repeat in both categories. Her show earned 11 nominations overall.
After many years of being held in New York, the Daytime Emmys are moving West. The 33rd annual awards ceremony will be held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on April 28, televised by ABC.
"General Hospital," which has won eight Daytime Emmys as best soap opera, was nominated again. It will vie with "The Young and the Restless," "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns."
Nominees for lead actor in a daytime drama: Maurice Benard and Anthony Geary of "General Hospital," Robert Newman and Ron Raines of "Guiding Light" and Thorsten Kaye of "All My Children."
