Posts Tagged “Kevin Federline”

Kevin Federline claims to have made less than $10,000 from his music career since May, evidently surviving off child support and that Super Bowl ad. Yesterday, Federline's lawyer released financial documents in court as part of his custody battle against Britney Spears. Despite some big, big tippin' ($2,000 on a $365 meal bill at a strip club!), Federline made only a fraction of the $74k he spent on "music production" in the same period. No word on who the fuck gave K-Fed that 10 grand. [AP]

Videodrone: Suge Knight Takes On A Fauxderliner


Oh, how the once-mighty Suge Knight has fallen: A decade ago, he was a music-biz kingpin, overseeing a vast, empire of mediocrity; and now, he's attending C-list parties with guys who like Kevin Federline—only to wind up verbally haranguing one of those aforementioned guys. Be sure to stay for the pro-Britney rant at the end, which is pure crazy-talk (footage from TMZ.com.) More »

Is The Federline Coming To A Screeching Halt?

A stark reminder that persons of dubious talent should try and schedule their buzz-generating shows before people actually hear the record in question: the New York Post is hearing rumors that Kevin Federline's big coming-out party in New York City, which is scheduled for this Saturday at Webster Hall, may be canceled because of low ticket sales. Either the desired price for an ironic night out in New York City has dropped to somewhere below $26.20, or there's a lot of crossover between K-Fed fans and people who want to see The Fall. More »

Reminder: Tonight, Kevin Federline Finally Gets What He Deserves

In case you've forgotten, tonight's Law & Order features its lamest ripped-from-the-headlines storyline yet, in which a fedora-wearing, pop-star-courting knucklehead gets caught up in a paparazzi-related murder:

When a cop is murdered in a failed burglary attempt, Detectives Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Nina Cassady (new series regular Milena Govich "Conviction") are led to a "stalkerazzi" photographer (guest star Khan Baykal as Gary Blanchard) hot on the trail of tabloid sensation Sky Sweet (guest star Barbara King), and her estranged husband "J-Train" Smolka (guest star Wayne Wilcox).
