Fed up

Just before Britney filed for divorce, Kevin Federline talked to Salon about how he "would've probably blown up huge by now" if he had never married, and why her fans would rather she was with an "all-American boy."

The letters thread is now closed.

Wanna talk about "fed up" ??

America's "queen" ??? Are you kidding me? Britney Spears is responsible for three things; 1) making CRAP music 2) giving trailer park trash a voice in America and 3) giving impotent Bob Dole an erection (remember those repulsive Pepsi commercials?)

How that makes her America's 'queen' is beyond me. Maybe it's the same brand of 'royalty' that Paris Hilton claims to be, who knows.

But the truth is that Kevin Federline got as far as he did BECAUSE he was being dragged around on Britney's coat tails. Period. The good news is that, hopefully, when this divorce is final, we'll not have to hear a talentless peep out "K-Fed".

Speaking of divorce, I'd like to offer a rousing congratulations to Britney and Kevin for upholding the religious right's idea of the institution of marriage. All of those heterosexuals who advocate gay marriage bans must be truly proud.

Ya know they arent really getting divorced, and this is just a story, right?

Tregibbs, you know this is fiction, right?

I doub't she will divorce Fed, not for months and months from now...

K-Fed? Honestly

I am really disappointed that Salon wasted a reporter and space on this jerk. I read the article thinking that if you bothered to interview this guy you would have at least done something worthy.

The reported makes a point to ask about other talented under publicized artist that have not had the attention of Mr. Federline, why not interview them. I expect better.

Isn't his 15 minutes up? MMS

K-Fed

Is it embarrassing to admit that I read this entire piece? I can't help but be fascinated and mesmerized that a person could be so completely clueless and utterly irrelevant. It's just incredible how shameless he is! I think most people can tell when they're making fools out of themselves and decide to keep quiet, and if they don't, they're usually at the least standing up for something they believe in. What does "K-Fed" believe in? That he's "real" and that he's going to "push units"? All you can do is shake your head and say "wow".

Kevin Federline

"My kick game"? "My watch game"? "This business"? (What business - joining the ever-growing ranks of the worthless?)

Good grief, what a prick. I bet he would vote Republican - if he ever voted, that is. THIS is what has gone wrong with America and American pop culture these past few years.

You have to feel sorry for the girl...and for we poor suckers for having to listen to this crap.

OMFG.. this really was a real interview, wasn't it?!?

Ewww, someone from Salon really did waste the time to talk to him, didn't they....

After reading some excerpts in other sources it seems our premium dollars went to paying for an article about K-Fed....

I mean, I realize they are playing divorce now just like they were playing house before... but I was still holding out that this story was fiction....

Ewww, I feel so dirty....

he's saying "mewwwwwwwwl!"

That photograph of K-Fed looking like a Troll doll in tent-like sportswear will undoubtedly haunt my nightmares. Thanks, Salon.

Reminds me of yesterday...

Last night Bill Clinton was speaking to a group of supporters in Virginia...

He said something like, "One good thing that came of this is that somebody had to read Jim Webb's books to find the "dirty parts". Just think: Jim Webb is responsible for the Republicans reading more than anyone in a long time."

When the interviewer asked "K-Fed" what he was reading lately, I could just imagine the deer in the headlights look that came over him.

Good thing he had the noted author P Diddy and Russell Simmons to bail him out.

Not that these two events are so closely related, but I'm glad to see a possible resurgence in challenging people on whether they are marginally well read.

Memo to K-F'ed

Kelly LeBrock wants royalties for your use of the "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" justification for your lousy, talentless existence.

Congrats, Britney!

I started sympathizing with Britney the minute she hooked up with this guy. This is an amazingly vapid and clueless interview. Love it, great way to top off election night.

So what have we learned?

1. Fed says he isn't a starfucker or anything like that. But first he impregnated and sponged off Char Jackson, then Britney.

2. It isn't about the money, it's the art. But he has plenty of watches and shoes and "investment jewelry"

3. Fed has "plenty of money". And how did he make that money, pray tell? As a "dancer"?

4. He's absolutely certain he is exceptional. He reminds me of the 80 percent of college students who believe they will definitley become multi-millionaires.

5. So the world didn't give him a fair shake on his album because of Britney. Hell, earth to moron, he would never have MADE recrod without being Mr. Spears. Millions of kids think they can make a career out of rap. Millions. Too bad this (gulp) father of four still talks like he's 15. Can't miss prospect, this one.

How many weeks before he hooks back up with Char Jackson?

Huh?!

I've never been so thrilled to as not be a paid subscriber to Salon. I'd be pissed off right now if I was, that's for sure. That man is a waste of space. He comes from the streets? Does he mean the streets of Malibu? What a hard-knock life.

Anon:

Don't forget inflation! Forty-some years from now, assuming a fairly standard inflation rate, two million bucks will be the equivalent of only 600-some thousand now, maybe less. Which is still a lot of money, but if you've got forty years worth of retirement savings involved plus a home purchase, getting up to that might not be too hard.

The fun part is explaining to them that yes, they'll probably be millionaires, but on the other hand, a candy bar will cost three bucks and accounting *only* for inflation, gasoline may be running over seven dollars a gallon.

And K-Fed will be making $20 an hour slinging hamburgers and french fries, trying to tell us that he's just 'keeping it real'.

(I love inflation calculators.)

I thought I was reading "The Onion".

That's all, really. Salon usually has some substance. When I didn't see a joke, I figured I'd clicked an E! page by accident. Oh, and to the guy introducing K-Fed to his destiny, Vanilla Ice had a hit. I danced to Vanilla Ice. Vanilla Ice was a friend of mine. This guy is no Vanilla Ice.

Yup. I'm stretchin' for a Lloyd Bentsen reference on election night. Enjoy.
