Kevin Federline. Either he's a greasy dirtbag who happened to fall on the best paycheque of his life when he married and impregnated Britney Spears just before she went all sorts of crazy and checked into rehab, making him a model parent, or he is the most cunning Machiavellian brain of the 21st century. Don't laugh - it could be true.
After all, who went from deadbeat dad to proud father in the space of a spousal nervous breakdown? And while his album may have failed to take off, he did manage to score himself a Superbowl ad while his ex-wife was branded "too much of a trainwreck" for the NFL to want to be affiliated with her. And now, following reports of rehab visits and custody arrangements comes the news we've all been waiting for - following the divorce, FedEx is due to walk off with $20 million and half the proceeds from the sale of the couple's Malibu home. How this gels with yesterday's news that Britney is down to her last $10 million, I do not know.
As for custody, it appears that Kevin currently has sole custody of the kids and Britney's got visitation rights. As her health and mental stability improve, she will take over more of their care. Some sources say Britney has to "prove herself" before her access to the kids improves. What this proof will entail nobody knows, but as there have been rumours of drug abuse and addiction, it could be a long slow process.
