Britney Spears just cannot get away from people trying to make a buck off her.  The latest culprit is her ex-husband, Kevin Federline‘s, grandfather, Earl Story.   Seems Earl, who is retired, is feeling a little thin in the wallet.  And what do people do when they need money?  They sell their stuff on eBay, and that’s exactly what Grandpa Story decided to do.  With the help of Kevin’s aunt, author Diane Story, Earl posted a large lot of various memorabilia related to K-Fed and Brit’s life together.  Items included their wedding invitation, a hat signed to Grandpa Earl from Kevin and Britney (shown in the picture above), a photograph of Britney when she was pregnant with Sean Preston, an invitation to her baby shower, a letter from Dr. Phil McGraw asking to interview members of the Federline family after the couple split up, miscellaneous photos and other items.

Now, if you’re a Britney fan, I can see how some of this stuff would be really cool to own.  But there have also been many other points in history where they could have fetched a pretty high price.  So why sell them now?  Oh, right, Earl needs money to “help fund his retirement,” says the item description on eBay.  But keep reading, there’s more.

With the recent death of his wife Betty [Story], (Kevin’s grandmother) Earl no longer wishes to keep these items when they can be appreciated by a collector.

Which kind of makes you wonder if Earl had been hounding Betty for years, telling her how much money they could make from selling this stuff, wondering about the sentimentality of women holding onto keepsakes (a rose petal holder from a wedding?  Why?)  and Betty telling him, “Over my dead body!”  She died in April, so there you go.

Personally I think that if he really wanted the items to be “appreciated by a collector” he would have had a private dealer handle the transaction rather than taking it to eBay.  It would seem more dignified and respectful of Brit and Kevin, as well as his wife to do it that way.    Earl may choose to go that route anyway now:  he didn’t receive any bids at all on his memorabilia.    Karma certainly can be a bitch.

Kevin Federline lost an impressive 47 pounds on Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp but does he need to give it another run?  He was spotted out in L.A. looking rather larger than we’ve seen him lately.

And you know, K-Fed doesn’t look BAD with more weight on, necessarily… he just looks out of shape.  He said his previous weight gain was due to depression, which is very common, and depression is no joke for sure.  But he then also admitted that he would drink up to 24 cans of soda a day… which is obviously not going to help.   Don’t let yourself backslide, Kevin!

Kevin Federline aka K-Fed will never go away, so we all just need to accept that.  The good news is that unless you are a fan of the never ending sequels to American Pie, you won’t have to see him in action.

Apparently the peeps down on the ‘Pie’ crew liked K-Fed’s new figure after his stint on Celebrity Fit Club where he shed some serious pounds (thank God),

“They called me up and asked if I was interested.  I was up for a different part originally, but then they didn’t want me playing myself. I think they thought it would be funnier for me as a Canadian border guard.”

This movie gig has brought K-Fed a new load of confidence and now he’s putting it out there for all you directors…

“If anybody has any more cameos – or actual roles they want to me in – that would be great,” he says.

Spielberg, Cameron…. are you listening? Ha!

If you’d like to take a gander at K-Fed in a movie role, American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, is out on DVD on December 22.  I personally think it will make the perfect gag gift!

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline will continue to share custody of their sons Jayden James and Sean Preston, per the extension of an order made by a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge prior to the beginning of her Circus concert tour.

Under the court order, K-Fed gets $20,000 a month from Brit-Brit if the kids are in California.  If she takes them out of town, like she has during her current tour, the child support amount increases to $25,000.  In addition, Brit is required to provide her ex with housing wherever she goes on tour, so that he can spend time with the kids, too.

The judge will review their case again at the end of the year, and is expected to make the arrangement permanent.

I think it’s amazing how much Britney has improved.  She sure has come a long way since her freak-out nearly two years ago.  I hope this lasts, because it can only be better for the kids.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather watch than Kevin Federline and his fat @ss tooling around.  Oh wait, yes I can!  I would rather watch paint dry.

Father of four, K-Fed was out in Las Vegas on Thursday where he started filming scenes for his reality show that hasn’t been picked up yet and if the reality TV gods have mercy on us, it never will.  Kevin apparently thinks he’s been such a great dad living the life of fame and fortune so well that the world wants to know about it more than we already do.

After they were done with filming, Kevin, his girlfriend Victoria Prince and their pals partied at a club called Wasted Space until the wee hours of the morning.  Hmmmm, do you think that name attracted Kevin Federline subconsciously?  LMAO!

Yesterday, Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline was out at the Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Classic in California.  He of course had his girlfriend, Victoria Prince with him.  The last thing K-Fed was doing was anything athletic.  No, he sat on his fat @ss drinking cocktails and smoking.

Kevin was never classy, but he never used to look like he is carrying multiples.  WTF happened to that guy?  I guess this is how you take it to the next level of trash….

Everyone is happy that Britney Spears is able to bring her children on the 40 date Circus tour that she is on. Ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who has come along on the trip has banned the children from seeing their mother’s concert. Kevin thinks that the costumes are too sexy and not appropriate for the kids.

Britney really wanted the kids to see her concert so at a rehearsal for her first show on Tuesday, she treated the kids to a kid-friendly version of the 90 minute concert.

A source said: “It was great for Britney to have the children around. There is so much riding on the tour that she had worked herself up and her nerves were getting to her. Seeing the boys before her big night helped to relax her. She let them see most of her numbers in rehearsals, but the really sexy ones she left until the late-night run throughs when they had gone home.”

That is so cute that it means so much to her to have them around. Britney’s come so far in the last year we should celebrate that.

LOL.� Right.� Are you kidding me?� Well, unfortunately this i not a joke.� Kevin Federline is in the process of getting� a licensing deal so he can begin� a kids clothing line.� Apparently being the father of 4 makes him an expert on what kids should wear.� Well, that and his personal sense of style.� K-Fed has 2 kids with Shar Jackson and then of course 2 more with ex wifey Britney Spears.

K-Fed tells Women’s Wear Daily, “It’s a really tough business. I’m trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay like $500 or something ridiculous for a pair of jeans.”

I don’t care what they cost.� You could pay me to put anything Kevin designs on anyone’s kids!� The guy is scum.� For the love of Pete, he charges Britney $5,000 a week so she can be with her kids.� Give me� a break.� What I wouldn’t give to meet the DB in a dark alley.
