Kevin Federline, aka K-Fed, aka the ex-Mr. Britney Spears, aka "one of the most reviled guys in the U.S. of A.," has a new idea. A children's clothing line.

According to Women's Wear Daily, K-Fed was in Las Vegas to check out the Project trade show "in the interest of research...looking around at the styles...hoping to be inspired by what he saw."



The part that intrigues us, as parents, is the idea that Kev wants to make affordable designer children's wear.

Of all the celebrity tour demands we've heard thus far, this one take the cake! Despite the fact that Britney Spears is set to launch her "Circus" tour on March 3 in New Orleans, Brit is threatening to pull the plug on her shows unless sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2, can come along for the ride.

Why the fuss? Britney is concerned about who will watch her kids while she is gone.

Britney, her father Jamie Spears, and Kevin Federline had made an amicable agreement that would allow the kids to travel with their mother. In exchange for the privilege, Brit would allegedly pay Kevin $4,000 a week for each week she's on tour.



And although Britney would have homes across the country within commuting distance of her shows, when K-Fed's lawyers heard about the proposal, they flipped -- and refuse to say why. No final agreement has been made, but Britney posted this message on her website earlier today: "Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour." We'll have to wait and see.

But one thing is sure. Britney is finally making an effort to be in her boys' lives, to be a mom.

But Britney isn't like you or me. Sure, lots of mothers travel for work, close to half of all business travelers, according to the Travel Industry Association. But the vast majority cannot and do not bring their kids. In fact, they relish the peace and quiet of time away from the nitty-gritty of domestic life. That is exactly the one thing Britney doesn't have. Maybe, just maybe, she wants to create a home life on the road.

Even if she totes the boys right along with her, backstage and all, how much time could she really have with them? And given the nature of her concerts, would it be more appropriate and less selfish for Brit to leave them home?

Britney Spears' son Jayden was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, after suffering an apparent allergic reaction. Britney and her sons are visiting family in Kentwood, Louisiana. At some point in the afternoon, he became "vague and unresponsive," certainly alarming behavior for an active two-year-old. He also developed hives.

Britney called emergency services, who directed her to drive Jayden directly to the ER. A witness says the entire family went together. "They tore off so fast, it was incredible." The boy remains hospitalized so that doctors can keep an eye on him, but he's reportedly doing fine.

This was the first time Britney was allowed to take the boys out of state on her own since Kevin Federline was awarded custody. If she's doing anything but worrying right now (which isn't likely), she has to be thinking that even when she's not looking for trouble, it seems to find her.

It's been a long time since we've heard from Britney Spears. Just over a year ago, OK! magazine attempted to sit down with the pop star, but that interview and accompanying photo shoot were scrapped after Spear's erratic behavior (and non-housebroken dog) made it evident things were not going to proceed as planned.

What a difference a year makes! This time around, with her father at her side, a healthier Britney was able to sit down and finally have that talk with OK! magazine.

Britney's fans may be holding out hope for a career comeback, but she's been busy making a comeback of a different type. Last week, the custody case between Britney and ex-husband Kevin Federline was settled. While Kevin will retain primary physical custody, Britney will get visitation with the boys three days a week and two nights, or about 40% of the time. Kevin, on the other hand, will see a "slight" increase in child support payments.

Anyone who watched Brit's breakdown a little less than a year ago will know that she's come a long way in her recovery process. Eight months ago, she lost custody of the boys and seemed unable to pull herself together to even fight for them, which, as a mom, was really frustrating and difficult to watch.

Britney's affairs are still under the control of her father, Jamie Spears, but she's slowly been making professional gains as well, with a cameo on How I Met Your Mother and work toward a new album. I think this is a major victory for her personally, and hopefully a sign that she's on her way to a more balanced and happy life.

In a sign that we really are approaching the End of Days, Kevin Federline has been award the title "Father of the Year."

The good news is that honor was bestowed on Popozao by the Las Vegas nightclub where the former Mr. Britney Spears is scheduled host a party, at which time the unofficial honor will be awarded. (You know, because that's where all the great dads hang out, in Vegas at a club in the wee hours of the morning.)

In case you aren't up to speed on what Vegas finds a prize specimen of fatherhood, here's a brief recap:

I want to hate Kevin Federline. After all, what kind of jerk leaves the pregnant mother of his children for another woman?

But I'm having a hard time keeping up the Federhatin'. Because after that initial lapse of judgment (I'm talking about Popaozoa, of course) and under all the stupid gangsta posturing, Kevin seems like he might be a decent guy.

The twenty-nine year old stepped up and assumed full custody of his two sons with after Britney's breakdowns, and has successfully managed to keep the toddlers out of the glare of the paparazzi, which is no small feat. He's also on friendly terms with his first baby momma, as well as with Britney's family, from whom she is estranged.

And word is, because of the precariousness of Britney's mental health, Federline has put the brakes on a reality show based on his life as a single father. The interest in all things Britney would undoubtedly make the show an instant hit and bring in a lot of money, but for the sake of his family, Federline has taken the high road.

Good call, Kevin. Now work on trying not to look such a cocky tool in photographs.

I've seen numerous headlines lately promoting the idea that Britney Spears is longing have another child to replace the two that have been taken from her by Kevin Federline and the courts. To me, that sounds a lot like something a tabloid would invent in order to sell papers and I've pretty much assumed it's not true. But now, I'm not so sure.

Earlier this week, Britney was spotted and photographed shopping for pregnancy tests with boyfriend Adnan Ghalib by her side. As far as I know, pregnancy tests have just one purpose: determining whether or not a woman is pregnant. Based on that, one could assume that Spears has reason to believe she might be with child and is looking to find out for sure. But this is Britney we are talking about and for her, there could be another explanation.

Every move Spears makes is photographed and documented and talked about like it was real news. She knows this. And she knew she was being photographed in that Rite-Aid and I believe it is entirely possible that the attention-seeking pop star was putting on a show intended to get us talking about her. As messed up as that sounds, I sincerely hope that is what she was doing.

The very idea that Britney Spears would rush off and get married in the middle of her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline is preposterous. But this is Britney we are talking about and she has shown a predilection for the preposterous.

Rumors are flying that Britney has informed her lawyers, as well as Federline, of her intention to shock us all and marry close friend Sam Lufti in Las Vegas. Not only is Britney ignoring her lawyer's advice to get a prenup, according to a family friend, her choice of mate is anything but a winner.

"Kevin has seen Sam lose his temper. We hear he swears a lot and makes very derogatory statements when he's alone with Brit." This insider says that Kevin dislikes him so much that he has forbidden Britney from having him around the kids and has threatened to get a restraining order. "She'll lose custody if she allows Sam around them, Kevin will make sure of it," says the insider.

Britney's friends insist that Lufti is only with her for the celebrity perks and that everyone can see that but Britney. "I hear that he stays with her most of the time, and she pays for his food, his bar and restaurant tabs and clothing. She takes care of everything," says one friend.

I really don't want to believe this, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find it's true. As evidenced by her recent missed court dates and continual partying, Britney clearly isn't getting the help she needs.

Remember when Kevin Federline married Britney Spears? He was a laughing stock, routinely mocked in the media for taking Brit's money, getting her pregnant, and partying like a rock star (instead of a back up dancer).

But times have changed. Now K-Fed has re-tooled his image, and -- especially in light of the recent custody battle for Sean Preston and Jayden James -- appears to quite the family man. So much so, that Details magazine recently called Federline a "good father," while also placing him at number seven on their list of the "50 Most Influential Men Under 45."

He tells mag: "To be a father is...everything. It shows me how little I am."

Granted, anyone would seem like parent of the year when compared to Britney Spears, but maybe this new side of K-Fed is more than just hype?

The never-ending legal nightmare that is the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody hearings takes yet another depressing turn. Britney can't seem to get her act together behind the wheel, leading a judge to forbid the former pop star from driving her kids anywhere.

Seeing as Britney's been driving without a valid license, hit a car and drove off without leaving a note, ran a red light -- and has been caught driving around with her children in her lap -- this isn't surprising. At all.

But what's odd is that, despite the fact that her every move is documented, Britney insists on breaking the law -- knowing that every time she does she's putting her relationship with her kids in jeopardy. Public figures bemoan the paparazzi whenever their photos leads to negative press, and there's always backlash to celebrity gossip, but -- at least in this case -- two little boys are a lot safer because of it.

Sure, Britney seems crazy, but it can be hard to know what to believe amidst the media fervor that surrounds this unfortunate woman -- so who's to say whether or not Britney should have custody of her children?

Well, these court papers might help. They reveal how the ridiculously wealthy pop star spends her enormous income -- partying, buying clothes, eating out, and talking on the phone.

Here's a quick rundown on some monthly expenses:

• $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
• $49,267 on mortgage payments
• $16,000 on clothes
• $4,758 on eating out
• $2,500 on phone bills

Yikes! All of those figures are more than my mortgage. And that's not to mention the $15,000 a month she pays in child support, and the $120,000 she owes in legal expenses (a ruling based on the fact that most of the hearings were only necessary because she's been acting like a lunatic).

Meanwhile, while KFed isn't exactly thrifty, he's spending a mere $5,000 on entertainment, $7,500 on rent, and $2,000 on clothes. I know I have a long history of making fun of Mr. Federline, but those kids are lucky they have at least one parent who is somewhat under control.

Apparently, Britney still isn't willing to obey the rules laid down by the judge in her custody case.

The mother of two, who just won the right to keep her boys overnight last week, is now suspended from seeing her children pending "compliance with the court's orders."

In the judge's original ruling, Britney was ordered to submit to random drug testing twice a week, spend eight hours a week getting parenting training, avoid alcohol or "other non-prescription controlled substances" 12 hours before taking custody of the children, attend co-parenting classes with her ex-husband, refrain from making derogatory remarks about her ex, his family, or significant other during the case, and not use corporal punishment on the kids. Also, any contact Spears with her children had be supervised by a parenting coach .

TMZ is reporting that Britney did not provide the drug testing people with contact information so they could find her to do the random tests and that is what triggered the suspension.

It seems like it might be a good idea for Britney's rotating personal assistants to be assigned the task of making sure all Britney's i's are dotted and t's crossed and court stipulations met-that is, if she wants to get her kids back.

A judge has ordered full custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James temporarily be given to their father this Wednesday at noon.

While it is sad news for Britney Spears, who appears mentally and emotionally unstable, it is not her children's job to keep her together. Hopefully this will be the wake-up call the young mother has needed to get her life back together.

I'm unfamiliar with the legal system, but doesn't It seem a little dangerous to leave kids with the parent who was denied custody for a day and a half?

The judge in the Britney Spears-Kevin Federline custody dispute has ruled that if Britney wants to keep her kids, she will have to undergo random drug and alcohol testing and hire a parenting coach. In his ruling, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon says, "Based on the evidence presented, the court finds that there is habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by the petitioner".

Well, that explains a LOT.

Britney's drug and alcohol testing will happen twice a week on random days and times. In addition, she and Federline are both prohibited from using drugs or alcohol for 12 hours prior to having custody of the children. The ex-couple currently share equal custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

The judge also ordered both parents to undergo 'joint co-parenting counseling' and to stop talking trash about each other. In addition to the joint counseling, Britney was ordered to meet weekly with a counselor on her own and to work with a parenting coach at least eight hours a week.

I don't know how Britney feels about all of this, but she should be grateful. This judge is giving her the opportunity to prove she is a fit parent - all she has to do is quit partying and learn to be a parent. I hope she can do it, but I have my doubts. Either way, Britney's next move will show just how much she really wants to keep her kids.
