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?

After nine long months, the genetic perfection that results when Brad Pitt DNA combines with Angelina Jolie genes has finally been unveiled. Have you seen the itty bitty babes yet? The photos are at People and Hello!, go ahead and take a look first. I have time!

Okay, ADORABLE, right?! The wee Jolie lips? That teeny smile! (How do they get newborns to do that, anyway?! Sean Preston was smiling for his People cover too!) Momma and Daddy looking so happy and adoringly at their new babies! The inset at the top of doll-baby Shiloh holding a baby! IT'S TOO MUCH GOODNESS!

But after the first ovary-exploding viewing, I took another look and what really stood out was the WHITENESS. Brad's shirts are snowy. Angelina's top/dress/nightgown is pristine.. The baby's clothes and blanket are devoid of color. Shiloh's dress is like an angel's wing.

I can accept that Angelina gave birth three weeks ago, yet is down to one chin and has no dark circles under her eyes. I can accept that Brad, who is helping wrangle the four other kids in the house, is clean-shaven, save for the ridiculous growth on his chin that appears intentional.

What I cannot fathom is purposely dressing newborn twins, a two-year-old,and the adults caring for them in pure white and having the entire group remain devoid of bodily fluids, peanut butter and jelly, dirt, Popsicle, or Play-Dough for even a photo shoot. The only white I ever wore when caring for a newborn was the spots of spit-up that had dried on my clothes and years later, it's still a challenging color for me.

Is this Hollywood magic? Industrial size Tide To-Go pens? WHAT IS THE SECRET?!

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.

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?

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?

Usually, family court cases are considered private and court documents are sealed when minor children are involved. But not this time. Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon has ruled that some of the court documents in the Spears-Federline custody case will be unsealed and therefore available for public consumption. In essence, the judge has said that the public's interest in the couple's case overrides any privacy concerns.

"In this matter, the children have not been afforded the choice of litigating this matter in public and must suffer the 'good and bad' as a result of the decisions of those who care for them," Gordon wrote. "The evidence presented in this case clearly demonstrates a tremendous and ongoing media interest."

I don't disagree with the judge's assertion that there is intense public interest in this case. Britney Spears' life has been publicly unraveling since she hooked up with Federline and the resulting drama fascinates and horrifies us.
But I am surprised by the judge's opinion that the public's desire to know trumps the kids' right to privacy. Do you think the judge made the right decision? Or should Sean Preston and Jayden James have the same right to privacy as do children without famous parents?

Britney Spear's former manager was served papers by Kevin Federline's legal team when he visited a tanning salon yesterday.

Larry Rudolph had admitted to on Ryan Seacrest's radio show that he was actively avoiding being subpoenaed because his testimony wouldn't be flattering for Spears. Although he no longer works with the trainwreck of a pop star, he didn't want to be disloyal to the woman who fired him and blamed him for forcing her into rehab.

So far the subpoena list includes Britney's cousin Alli Sims, Britney's body guard Daimon Shippen, Promises Rehab Facility, and Britney's former assistant Shannon Funk.

When Alli was served, she started crying and with Larry admitting to have been hiding out to avoid getting served, it really makes you wonder how horrible the stuff they don't want to talk about is.

Now we know the real reason Britney Spears is bothering to fight K-Fed for custody of the couple's two children -- so she'll have someone to blame.

Turns out the former pop star's new Yorkie puppy had an unfortunate mishap, and is now wearing a cast on his little doggie leg -- but Britney swears she didn't do it.

Who's the culprit? Why, the children, of course!

Rumor (and I stress "rumor") has it that the Sean Preston and Jayden James were so enthralled with the new pooch that they chased it around the house -- even threw the poor thing around.

It was only when Brit's cousin Alli noticed the dog wasn't walking right that the manhandled pet was finally taken to the vet.

Given the way she cares for her kids, it's really no surprise that Britney's dog didn't make it more than a month without some kind of injury. But blaming two toddlers -- both of whom are under 2-years-old -- for an accident she clearly should've prevented is just sad.

Sometimes I am not sure if Britney Spears is really a bad mother or just playing one on television. I see only a tiny part of the big picture, so in the absence of something truly damning, I am can't judge whether or not she should lose custody of her boys to ex-husband Kevin Federline. But eventually, a real judge will make that decision and according to Star Magazine, Britney is worried. In fact, she is so worried that she is threatening to take her boys and flee the country.

"She told Kevin she'd split to another country, probably France," says a source. "Kevin feels she could pull it off with enough money and the right connections!" A Federline family insider says "Kevin is freaked out and wants to get a restraining order on her. He has one of the kids' nannies reporting back on whatever happens!"

Although neither parent is allowed to take the kids out of Los Angeles County without the other parent's permission, Britney thumbed her nose at that little rule when she took her sons to Las Vegas recently. Remember the bottle throwing and death threats? But would she actually leave the country? Maybe if we ask her real nice.

First off, let me say that an unnamed "source" is not someone you want to wager your life savings on. When that source is talking to the Star, you probably wouldn't even want to put your lunch money at risk. That said, if any of these allegations are true, then K-Fed is definitely the better choice for being the custodial parent of his kids with Britney Spears.

MSNBC reports that, according to an upcoming Star exposé, Britney "lets [the boys] sit in soiled diapers for hours until someone else changes them," and "keeps both children up late at night to ensure they sleep late -- this includes waking them up if they fall asleep before 11 p.m." If that's not enough, "she tried to whiten [Sean Preston's] teeth using Crest Whitestrips, but he kept crying. Finally, Britney threw the strips away, telling Sean, 'Fine, you'll just have ugly teeth then!'"

What's worse is the verbal bashings she gives the boys. The source claims that "when Britney is upset, she yells and screams at the boys and once told them, 'You were both mistakes!' She's called them 'burdens, a pain in the ass and the reason (your) father left,'" Ugh. If any of that is true, perhaps CPS should step in to find the kids a better home. I don't know if Federline would be any better, but it hardly seems like he could be much worse.

No, of course not really. But this fake news post almost had me going for a minute.

Although he cannot take the children directly back, he is starting a petition to have the kids adopted by Angelina Jolie.

"She's taking half the kids out of third world countries. She might as well scoop up the Spears kids as well," commented God.

I'm not a very religious person, but given the way that woman has been acting in recent weeks, nothing would surprise me.

In all seriousness, while the Almighty probably won't intervene in this matter, it won't be long before the courts will. In her recent divorce settlement, Britney was given split custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James -- but every time I turn around I hear about another awful story in which she's putting soda in the kids sippy cups, getting their teeth whitened, or having them "fetch momma's lollipops" (by which she means her cigarettes -- ugh).

This woman needs some help, before her kids get hurt.

Surprising no one in the entire world, Britney (Spears Alexander Federline) and Kevin Federline's pimaplicious marriage came to an official end yesterday.

What was unexpected was the custody agreement. In spite all Brit's latest crazy, (swimming in her underwear, falling apart during a magazine interview and the shooting of a new video, the Vegas scuffle where Sean got hurt) and reports that both family and former friends were helping Kevin in the proceedings, Britney and her ex were granted 50/50 joint custody of the couple's children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Reportedly, neither parent is happy with the arrangement and Kevin is said to want to go back to court as early as this week to petition for a change.

The former pop star and the back-up dancer were married for a little over two years and their sons will turn 1 and 2 years old in September.

As Heather noted earlier this week, rumors have been circulating about the recent interview Britney Spears did for OK! magazine, during which she apparently had a total meltdown. The OK! piece was supposed to be an opportunity for the embattled ex-pop star to "tell her side of the story" in light of all the negative press she's received on account of her insane behavior. However, as you can read in article, nothing could be further from the truth.

"...after consuming her meal, stood up and rubbed grease from her fingers into the front and back of the dress. It was ruined!

...As if on cue, her new Yorkie puppy, London, followed suit by pooping on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown!

...but Britney -- who herself had used the restroom repeatedly without bothering to close the door ... When she emerged, Britney seemed disoriented. And while her behavior had been strange earlier in the day, it was now even more erratic."

Alright. Up to this point it's been debatable -- is Britney crazy, or just a little eccentric and misunderstood? But given this story -- in addition to today's news about a scuffle with photographers that left her son battered -- the only real question is: why is she still allowed to see her kids? She's clearly out of control, and -- at least until she gets her act together -- it appears Sean Preston and Jayden James may even be in physical danger while under her care.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but K-Fed, it's time to take a stand. Get full custody of those kids before something awful happens.

Just when you thought the battle between Britney Spears and the mother she estranged through poetry couldn't get any worse, MSNBC reports that the pair's relationship has descended into physical violence. According to the site's gossip column, a recent encounter between Crazy Spears and Mama Spears resulted in a "shocking slapfest."

Apparently Britney's mom "barged into the house" and demanded to take her grandkids out for some "private time," -- all the while "denigrating Britney's mother skills." Not surprisingly, things went downhill from there. This, incidentally, was the fight that led to Britney hand-delivering court papers to her mother -- documents that bar mama from seeing Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Sure, at first the thought of a mother and grandmother smacking each other around in front of the kids seems disturbing, but maybe this is what these two need to finally resolve this domestic disagreement. I envision a full-scale boxing match, Britney in one corner, mama Spears in the other -- complete with TV cameras, endorsement deals, and maybe even hosted by Jerry Springer. As far as I can tell, it'd be the most fitting end to this otherwise depressing little saga.
