Morning Mix: R.I.P. Spederline Edition

Take a good look. You may not see this man again for a very long time. (AP)
In Case Y'all Missed It: Late yesterday afternoon, Britney Spears totally distracted us from the midterm elections by filing for divorce from Kevin Federline. What happened? Us Weekly claims there was a final blowout last week, though Life & Style Weekly reports that Brit merely beat Kev to the punch. Still, the news hasn't stopped Britney from hitting the town in New York and making an unscheduled stop at "The Late Show With David Letterman."
What will K-Fed do now? According to Best Week Ever, he'll lick his wounds with $30,000 a month (for a while) while trying to decipher Britney's divorce petition.
Rest assured, The Washington Post knows the fans are the real victims here, so pop "...Baby One More Time" in the CD player and reminisce with a Britney/K-Fed timeline and photo gallery.
UPDATE: Did Britney break the divorce to Kevin via text message? So claims this report and this caught-on-tape video from MuchMusic:
Non-Britney Headlines: Lindsay Lohan tells Oprah she hates party-girl image... Faith Hill says CMA freakout was a joke... Michael Jackson to perform at World Music Awards... Madonna bruised in paparazzi scrum... Anna Nicole Smith released from Bahamas hospital... Martin Scorsese signs four-year deal with Paramount... Teen pleads not guilty to stalking Hilary Duff... Comedian Katt Williams arrested at L.A. airport... Pete Doherty fined for assaulting BBC reporter... Baldwin, Aguilera and Ludacris to host "SNL" in November.
Rumor Mill: No tax deal for Wesley Snipes... Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis split?... Diddy not ready for marriage... Steve-O plans rap album.

I'm all for renaming "K-Fed" as "Fed-Ex" in memory of this joyous occasion. Unfortunately, Britney has been marred by two trailer-babies for the experience. Any chance her two kids will grow up sane?

I feel bad for the kids--they didn't ask to be brought into this mess. Yes, they'll grow up with every material comfort imaginable, but without their dad around. Not that anyone should stay together just for the kids...

I have a crazy idea for La Lohan--if she wants to be perceived as less of a party girl, she could try....staying home?

So Faith was goofing when she was detracting from the announcement, vs. being angry at the result? either way not very professional and still disrespectful. Sounds like damage control to me. Faiths now officially a diva I guess. So what a couple, he can't sing, shecan, but Tim is the nice one.

HA! "Spederline"!!! Why didn't someone think of that one about a year ago... or DID someone think of it and I just missed it? Thanks, Liz... you made my morning!

B, bite your tongue, man!

"Spederline"? Come on, that's not very classy.
Posted by: Venicemenace | November 8, 2006 11:17 AM
Thank goodness Britney filed now, or I wouldn't have anything to read since almost all the returns are in. I was starting to get bored!

I wouldn't pop the Crystal over the impending departure of K-Fed (Fed-Ex) just yet. The divorce isn't final, he could pull a last minute upset. If it does go thru, I wonder if he's upgraded his golddigging skills, he might stun us with another sugar mama/baby mama.
Ahh, lady Lohan (I use that term very lightly). I wonder where that party girl image came from in the first place. After all you've never been spotted drinking beer before your 21st b-day, or going to every club that dare open its doors, or appearing at more parties than on movie screens. I'm not saying stay home 24/7 but one, two maybe three nights out of the week might do something to cool the party girl image and give your body a rest. Hard partying always shows up later.

I think Britney was way too nice by text messaging him about the breakup. She should've just frozen all the bank accounts and credit cards. Can you imagine his reaction when he realizes he can't pay for all the drinks he'd been buying all night for his "friends"?

""Spederline"? Come on, that's not very classy."
Anything classy would be out of place in referring to these two. If you intended sarcasm, though, then this joke was hilarious and I just ruined it.

Fed-Ex - perfect, Ken, thank you! He's gotta be scrambling right now, looking for the next baby momma with enough clout to keep him in the limelight.

In another thread someone suggested Cher as Fed-Ex's next target. Liza is another one who could use a new back-up dancer/BF. Isn't Suzanne Somers single now? Susan Anton?
Since Lindsay's parents cannot "parent" her, maybe Ms. Oprah, Saviour To Many, could take her under her wing. Show her how to bring the party into her own home, instead of embarrassing herself in the clubs. Oprah has John Travolta, Lindsay can have Topher or Jake as her fave party boy. Less drinking in public, that's all Lindsay needs to do.
And finally, I am sad about Rosario and Jason -- such a pretty pretty pair, and hardly ever in the rags. I hope they stay that way (out of the rags), whoever they end up with next...

Folks - the answer is right in front of you - K-Fed will hit on Lindsay ;) (ack - too scary to think about...)
At any rate, if anyone is feeling sorry for K-Fed, take a reality check. He's making $30K a month for being fathering children he doesn't seem to care about and sucking down music industry money. Anyone taking bets on how long it takes for whatever label was stupid enough to sign him drops him? Or maybe even sues him for some reason?

That picture of him is just gross. I'm no fan of Britney, but holy cow! WHAT was she thinking? And why was she thinking it for so long??!
Posted by: c | November 8, 2006 2:45 PM
Chasmosaur, That 30k might not be enough to keep the parasite going.
He's still got other expenses: child support for two kids (it would be sweet if Brit requested and got child support as well), there's all of that bling to clean and new bling to purchase, pimp suits to wear to different events (somebody somewhere wants him to attend an event I just know it), sweatsuits with the word pimp on the back, a possie to keep, Crystal and the list goes on. Plus, is uncle Sam gonna tax him on those funds, can that be considered income? Right there he's going to need a tax lawyer. Before you know it he'll be down to his last $10 every month.

Sorry. I don't really miss che. The big breakup just has me feeling melancholy.
Posted by: b | November 8, 2006 2:56 PM
Like I said, Fed Ex needs a VASECTOMY!
Is he, like, unable to have sex unless he believes he is spreading his seed? And if he is such a pot head, why is this possible? Is there some scary Darwinian theory for porn-watching icky guys having a higher sperm count, or what? And if Brittany is such a "class act" why did she think having a second baby would save her marriage. Please, all you younger people, let this be a cautionary tale for you all!

Hey C...
That's what I've been saying all along. Kevin Federline is not attractive. He's not talented... But brittany saw something in him that was so hot that she had to have two of his spawn.
On the other hand, she came from the trailer down in lou'siana, so where she comes from this is pretty standard stuff.

Well, Lindsay, it IS a crime to be drinking at age 20. If you want to ditch your party girl image, stop PARTYING so much!
