Britney vs. K-Fed: You Be the Judge

Remember last summer when we buzzed about Matt Lauer's interview of a seemingly unhinged Britney Spears? We were shocked at her dismissal of driving with an infant on her lap and even Robin Givhan was moved enough to write about Britney's move to the trashier end of the fashion spectrum.

Well, here we are a mere 17 days into the new year and Spears has gone way past unhinged and trashy to somewhere around out of control and Anna Nicole territory. Did she pass out on New Year's Eve? Did she spend $40,000 on a one-night hotel stay? Did she puke in her new boyfriend's hands? And -- the latest -- is she pregnant again?

The pregnancy rumor has been denied by Brit's people, but the rest is more or less true. Spears spends more time at nightclubs than with her newborn; she's managed to find a carbon copy of K-Fed to date; she might have gotten a little sick on a recent drive in the Hollywood hills and her fashion choices -- off the charts.

Federline, who spent the last days of 2006 as the target of much pointing and laughing and will poke fun at himself in a Super Bowl commercial, seems downright dowdy in comparison. Even John Waters is on K-Fed's side: "You don't see him out there getting out of limousines and flashing his shaved crotch," Waters said in a recent interview. "What did he do that was so wrong? [Britney] is the idiot. She's the one who gave him the Ferrari."

Whether by design or not, Federline's ultra low profile may be just what the judge ordered when it comes time to award permanent custody of the Spears-Federline heirs. According to casinogamblingweb.com, bookies are now offering odds on whether or not Spears will win custody of her children (the site says the odds are against Spears, by the way).

Who should be awarded custody of the Spears-Federline progeny? Vote in today's poll.

Without a doubt, Madonna should be awarded custody!

Or Brangelina!

When you have John Waters on your side, you KNOW you're in good company & if not already infamous you will be.

Just ask Patty Hearst, Traci Lords, Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinkle, Susan Atkins, Squeeky Fromme.....all endorsed by Mr. Waters himself!!

That's not a knock to John, but he has backed some interesting folks & it makes me love him even more!!

Since it is only 17 days into the new year, I give this round to K-Fed. He has not impregnate anyone (that we know of) and actually got a job.

Pfftt... how old is Sean P n Jayden?... Michael Jackson may adopt.........

kevin you suck you can even beat john cena

Posted by: marvin | January 18, 2007 12:00 PM

Ummmm Kevin. Hands down. Britney treats her kids like they are accessories. I am sick of hearing her people defend her, saying when she is out all night, the babies are sleeping with a nanny. Um, have you ever SEEN newborns and toddlers? They almost NEVER sleep through the night, that's why one of the hallmarks of new motherhood is NOT GETTING ANY SLEEP. Because your kid doesn't either.

KEVIN is the lesser of two evils here.

Posted by: CD | January 18, 2007 12:15 PM

Never before have I so badly wanted a "none of the above" option.

Posted by: BF | January 18, 2007 12:23 PM

Kevin. He mostly doesn't work so he can stay home to actually spend time with his kids. Britney can afford to pay tons of child support to get out of that duty and be able to stay out partying all night.

Posted by: ep | January 18, 2007 12:44 PM

I sure love smoking my virginia slims and partying all night while preggers again y'all! Yee-hah!

Posted by: BritBrit | January 18, 2007 12:50 PM

I think she's doing all this crazy stuff so she doesn't get custody of the kids. I mean, she's young and rich and spry. Of course she wants to party it up. While all her body parts are real, er, well maybe I'm wrong on that.

Posted by: not bluto | January 18, 2007 12:52 PM

It's a dead heat between John Mark Karr and Michael Devlin.

Posted by: Slappy | January 18, 2007 12:57 PM

Was anyone else mired so deeply in the Brit-zone that they misread "virginia"?

Posted by: Slappy | January 18, 2007 1:01 PM

I feel soooo dirty. I just cast a vote for Federline. I must agree with BF on the "none of the above". Even the grandparents aren't a good choice in this case.

At this point Brit shouldn't even be allowed to purchase pets (seriously, where are the first three dogs or the latest one for that matter?). She treats one of her kids like accessories. We have yet to see what the second one looks like. Or should I say who the second one looks like?

Posted by: petal | January 18, 2007 1:06 PM

Yes Slappy, I did!! I was totally confused and scared at the same time!!

Posted by: Yikes! | January 18, 2007 1:09 PM

Liz,

You should have Angelina removed from that poll. Britney's kids didn't have to struggle to survive and haven't made it through so much.......hold on, scratch that. Leave Angelina on there.

Posted by: caroldc | January 18, 2007 1:09 PM

Can I vote for my own mama? She would make sure those kids stayed on the straight and narrow, went to school every day and ate their vegetables. No Paris/Nicole/Brandon poor-little-rich-kid hijinx, not until they're off to college -- and my mama would make sure that they at least got through freshman year before she sighed and let them do whatever mischief they want.
John Waters rocks, y'all! And therefore, K-Fed is alright with me. Especially since he's not in the tabs every day...anymore.

Posted by: miss belle | January 18, 2007 1:28 PM

For an example of what Kevin might be like as a custodial parent, may I please see the evidence pertaining to his children from prior relationships? How much time is he spending with them?

Maybe Ricky Bobby should raise them. That way, they'll stay true to their roots, and won't be a couple of little wussies.

Posted by: CH | January 18, 2007 2:01 PM

I didn't vote because "Child Services" wasn't an option.

Posted by: Stick | January 18, 2007 2:19 PM

I voted for Angie. After all, Brad Pitt would be the dad,at least for a year or so, and he seems pretty normal.
I think the new baby has gone the way of the apple-headed chihuahuas. Maybe buried in a shoe box in the basement.

Posted by: Barb | January 18, 2007 3:08 PM

I'm with Arby on this one. I've been saying for weeks that Madonna should raise those kids. When she shows her hoo-hoo it's a calculated move to be provocative, not a drunken whoops.

I don't know how many of you listen to Jim Rome, but this was posted on his website today:

"How about the NFL Network crushing Britney Spears? Brit asked to be in a commercial touting the network only to be given the Heisman and then hammered for even asking. A source told the New York Daily News, 'She's too much of a train-wreck. Besides we already have Paris Hilton.' So much for that career comeback she promised her fans earlier this month. If by 'comeback,' she meant having her career completely bottom out, then 'yes, welcome back, Brit.'

"Wow. How did that taste? She had to ask in, got stoned, then blasted for being a train-wreck and couldn't even live up the lofty standards set by Paris Hilton.

"Look, I'm not looking to dance on anyone's professional grave. And I'm sorry your marriage to K-Dirt failed, that you went basic instinct for all the gossip rags, but they already filled their quota for used up party girls and they don't need two train-wrecks. Talk about a hammer. Spit out your gum, mix in a shower, hire a trainer, go into the studio, and dry out. Because if Paris Hilton is getting your gigs, trust me, you're not back and you're far from it."

OK I get it now. Art Buchwald died. I guess I hadn't read that yet. That's why the post.com homepage needs to load quicker before I get impatient and click on a section. :(

Posted by: not bluto | January 18, 2007 4:53 PM

First, I love K-Fed. I call him KFC. The C stands for crispy. To be fair however, not flashing your shaved crotch is not that grand of an accomplishment.

I feel sorry for Brit. She's become a bloated, panty-less train wreck, saddled with two kids and a dead career. KFC looks good. He's got a Superbowl ad and a new self-deprecating shtick. Hey, he had a lighter tour of duty than fricking Tom Arnold. That guy worked for the money.

Oh, I also misread "smoking virginia."

britney why did u break up with kevin federline

Posted by: amber montgomery | January 19, 2007 11:38 AM

So it's not enough that the kids be cared for, it's got to be the mother (not a nanny or babysitter or, apparently, the dad since K-Fed hasn't exactly been doing the night feedings for the baby Shar Jackson was carrying when he left) staying home with the kids? Do we REALLY want to go there? Brit's a trainwreck but being out without the kids isn't the problem.

Posted by: | January 19, 2007 11:53 AM

I would rather these children stay home with the nanny than have Brit stuff them into designer clothes and drag them to smokey clubs and use them to get free lemon drop shots. The less time they spend with Brit, the better.

Posted by: ex cap girl | January 19, 2007 4:20 PM

I think kids she always stay with there natural mother unless proven unfit. ok yes i do think she should stay at home with the newborn and actually BOND with these children. Some mothers dont automatically attatch to their kids. which may i add is weird and sad. britney had it all before kevin. she brought his sorry ass up! he should babysit these kids all day and let britney work and carry on with her career when the days over have her limo driver drop his off back in the hood and continue the same ritual everyday, so these children can bond with one parent while the other is out. and britney if you want to party try every other weekend. believe it or not, these kids needs to feel you at night, they need your love...they need to know their mommy is their for them when they need something other than toys. or something material like. they need their parents!
