Kevin Federline Joins the Britney Spears Circus


With all of the Britney Spears buzz going on--what with the documentary, the announcement of the tour, the birthday parties, and the general mania that’s been going on since her newfound sanity--it was only a matter of time before Kevin Federline crawled out of the woodwork to get a little attention for himself. Federline recently sat down with People to give what was advertised as, “his side of the story”--and it pretty much consisted of anecdotes about happier times. At least he deserves a bit of credit for resisting going the sensationalist route and opening up about all of the behind-closed-doors Britney Spears crazy he’s been subjected to.

When asked about his happiest time during his marriage to Spears, Federline answered, “Well, getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing it without question.”

When Federline was asked about his motivations for obtaining custody of his kids and whether or not it came down to getting money from Spears, Federline answered, “My first question to [my lawyer] was, "Am I ever going to be able to see my children?" I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That's all that mattered. I didn't know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.”

We kind of buy this. It would be easy to say that Federline was only going after Britney’s money, but even the most lackluster of fathers would likely go to bat pretty hard to get their kids away from Spears during the height of her head-shaving madness.

As for the infamous night when Britney Spears locked herself in the bathroom with son Jayden, shortly before being taken to the hospital on a gurney, Federline said, “That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her 'cause I care about her. That's the mother of my children. Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean that I don't love her. I'm definitely rooting for her. There's nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do."

Perhaps divorce and custody of his kids has been good for Kevin Federline. This is the first interview he’s ever given where he actually sounds like a fully functioning grown-up. Or is he just buttering us up so that we’ll finally accept his attempts at having a career in show business? Perhaps his ex-wife’s recent success has left Federline wanting to lay the groundwork for a comeback of his very own?
