K-Fed Now To Be Known As Fed-Ex

See, you people pretend you don't care about Kevin Federline. Our inbox implies otherwise.

Celebrate! And cue the next phase in the build 'em up-tear 'em down-build 'em up again celeb arc for our dear Britney. Did you take "over" or "under" on two years of marriage? Well, it's not just the media that be hatin' on Federline. Yesterday, the very same day Brit showed off her refined assets on Letterman, Ms. Spears filed papers to divorce your favorite mooch-cum-rapper. TMZ reports:

TMZ obtained the legal papers, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.

As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Oct. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.

So Brit was most definitely NOT one of the unfortunate few at his concert this weekend. And those come-hithers to the teenagers first row are making a sad sort of sense now.

We always suspected he wasn't good enough for our girl. Dude didn't even tie his shoes.

Who do you think will be on the cover of the Post tomorrow? Spears or Pelosi? Sure they're blaming irreconcilable differences, but what do you really think went wrong? Aside from everything, that is. And what do you suppose is next for the penny loafer? And if you think this is a big story, just wait 'til she's spotted out with Timberlake! (Admit it: You can't wait.)

Well, no wonder I couldn't access this site.
With this "stunning" news, maybe Entertainment Tonight can finally stop talking about Anna Nicole Smith.

Does this mean that we will be hearing more or less about either of them? I am all for never hearing about them again and if this is a step in the right direction...

Although I guess you can't destroy the poster child of a generation of ignorant slobs.

And while Britney was on Letterman, K Fed was on WWE challenging people to wrestling matches in one of his and Britney's many hometowns.

We've actually had this ENTIRE POST written for two years! ;) For reals though, he's getting nothing out of that prenup; he really oughta consider mugging for Fed-Ex. He could use the pennies.

weird ... not that i'm psychic (it was just a matter of time in any case), but i called this YESTERDAY; after reading about the badly-attended NYC show, i told my wife: it'll be over within a month - britney's career can't abide the stank of this kind of failure ... i'm amazed it happened THIS quickly!

How long before K-Fudd's teaming up with Flav for a round of videotaped reality, or perhaps just smacking poker with Screech Diamond?

I can review the K-Fed "concert" at HOB in Chicago. I am going to the "show". RELAX, I WORK there and my ticket is FREE.

Admit it...you want to know what someone who has enough sense to read Stereogum thinks about it.

In my years of life, I have never been to a bad concert. I think tomorrow might change all that.

Did you make up Fed-Ex?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061108/ap_en_mu/federline_future_4

from AP:

"After two years of marriage, Federline, 28, went from K-Fed to Fed-Ex on Tuesday when Spears filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Well, let's just put it this way: Read the last sentence of this post from 10/4.

OK. I was at the Chicago show last night, and it’s really not all that worthy of a review. The camera crews were out, the venue was about 2/3 full it seemed, not too crowded, but not sparse either. K-Fed came out and did his thing. Honestly, he didn't blow me away, but he didn't suck either. I've seen many hip-hop shows that were much worse than this one due to lack of energy or stage presence or whatever, but he held it down. That's not to say that the music was great. He seemed to rely on his DJ dropping a bunch of Jay Z beats, which was a bit distracting. The only mention he made of the recent news was a comment to the ladies that he'd be free soon. Definitely worth the $11.37 I paid for two tickets, but possibly only because of the $7.49 I spent on a bottle of rum before the show...

Thanks for very interesting article. btw. I really enjoyed reading all of your posts. It’s interesting to read ideas, and observations from someone else’s point of view… makes you think more.
So please keep up the great work. Greetings.
