Kevin Federline

This clip features famous ex-husband Kevin Federline performing a scene from tonight’s episode of a show called One Tree Hill. During a screening of this preview footage, rapt heartbeats can’t help but quicken at Mr. Federline’s stagecraft—an almost Shakespearean ability to put the smack down on a female character he bills “retarded.”

[Enter, stage left: Oh, No He Didn’t!]

Yes, yes he did. But a savior alights in the afflicted girl’s loyal B.F.F., who promptly tells Mr. Federline’s character, Jason, a musician of some kind, that he’s just upset because “all the talent left his band.” In retaliation, like a razor so sharp to slice a wanton stare, he’s all like, “Not as upset as I am that you left your granny panties in my bed.”

While Britney Spears was getting busy in court last fall, her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, was getting busy on the set of One Tree Hill.

We just received this picture, above, of Mr. Federline filming a scene for the CW show—which will feature the former backup dancer on a three-episode arc, beginning on Jan. 15, in which he plays a musician with a pension for super-worn jeans and wife-beaters. It also appears that Mr. Federline, 29, can moss a nasty Vin Diesel impression, if with slightly less-defined guns.

The following clip features the dancer-cum-rapper-cum-actor rockin’ out as the lead singer for a fake band. What does he sound like? Let’s just say we now know what it must be like to get water-boarded backstage at the Cornerstone Festival.  read more »

Mere hours after Britney Spears was taken to the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai hospital last night, Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Kaplan, requested an emergency custody meeting at L.A.’s Superior Court.

Because of the extraordinary nature of the circumstances, Mr. Kaplan will not be making a statement to press today, said a rep for the attorney. What is clear, however, is that Ms. Spears’ attorney, Tara Scott, was present in the courtroom this morning. According to an inside source who contacted US, Me. Kaplan has asked that all of the singer’s visitation rights be suspended while she is on 72-hour lockdown at the hospital.

Ms. Spears was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai as a “special needs” patient, which apparently indicates either an overdose or a suicide attempt. (L.A. police did say that Ms. Spears appeared to be under the influence of an “unknown substance.) A complete timeline of events surrounding Ms. Spears’ most recent breakdown can be found here.  read more »

Britney Spears’ legal battle with Kevin Federline over the custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, rages on. A lawyer for the L.A. Department of Children and Family Services has announced that a formal investigation into “multiple child abuse and neglect” allegations will soon commence. In particular, concerns were raised that Ms. Spears’ two children might be in physical danger if left in the sole care of their volatile mother. And while the court documents do not provide specifics, according to the AP, the child welfare department did indicate that the investigation was spurred, at least in part, by a request from Mr. Federline.  read more »

Just when we weren’t looking, Details got all straight-acting on us. Surely editor-in-chief Dan Peres hasn’t exhausted Hollywood’s bottomless supply of fresh-faced actors. Or maybe he has.

On the cover of the book’s latest issue, which touts a “Power and Influence” theme, Britney Spears’ ex, Kevin Federline, isn’t photographed count-the-pores close or even slightly naked (perhaps in spite of the fact that he was shot by Steven Klein.) In fact, with K-Fed’s crossed, tattooed forearms and his what-up-dude glance, he looks nothing at all like his twinkishly-styled predecessors. (Ashton…Rhys Meyers…Beckham…Radcliffe…Anyone?) What’s more, the cagey lad-mag has gone and ranked him No. 7 on their list of 50 “power players.” Huh. The 29-year-old father of Ms. Spears’ two sons, Sean and Jayden, doesn’t give any good goss about the pop singer he once loved, but he doesn’t exactly leave readers crying ‘Gimme more,’ either. Mr. Federline does admit, however, that he can’t decide which animated character he likes more—SpongeBob SquarePants or Nemo (as in the fish one looks for).

Talking to US, Mr. Peres says, “Here is the person who people think of as this universal joke, who has oddly emerged as father of the year…The kids would go running to him and were very warm and very well behaved.”
