kevin federline

After 27 days, Britney Spears is out of rehab and on the loose. No doubt the paparazzi will be hounding her more than ever, but you know that the traditional media-types are also calling for the story. At some point, Britney will talk. Was she an alcoholic? Was it drugs? Exhaustion? Or post-partum depression? Inquiring minds need to know!

But, who will she talk to? The options are varied. She could go to Oprah or Barbara Walters-- those two would be the biggies. Katie Couric is no doubt calling. And Matt Lauer. And Diane Sawyer. People magazine is a possibility, or maybe even something a little more upscale like Vanity Fair. There's always David Letterman, who frequently gets surprise visits from Britney. (Although, that would be a big letdown because ol' Dave will probably let her off the hook after a joke or two)

Did you know that comedian Zach Galifianakis and Kevin Federline have a history? Oh, it's not nearly as sordid as the Britney-Kevin history, but in some ways it's much more entertaining and a lot less pathetic.

On his website, Zach recently posted a link to this video on YouTube that shows Kevin Federline as one of the dancers on Zach's short-lived show, Late World with Zach. Why were there dancers on Zach's show? Well, it was all part of a sketch to announce the cancellation of Zach's show. I've posted the video after the jump. K-Fed is the dancer with the hat on and is pretty easy to recognize. This was back in 2002, before anyone even knew the guy. Back then, K-Fed was much less of a punk and more graceful.

Is Prince God? Did he have a deal with Mother Nature or something? Does CBS have that much money to be able to be able to influence meteorology?

Obviously the only explanation of the situation is that Mother Nature loves Prince and watches The Super Bowl. She was hell bent on not making the Kevin Federline the top news of the Super Bowl, and wanted to provide her man Prince with some ethereal stage props.

How many of you were wondering if he would even play "Purple Rain?" How many of you even doubted it after he played his crazy rendition of the Foo Fighters' "Best of You?"

How many of you were still holding onto hope he would play "1999?" I was pretty pleased with his performance and less impressed with his random and particularly unattractive dancers.

But forgive me Mother Nature if you should strike me with lightning for actually liking...

TiVo's released a top 10 list showing the commercials that TiVo owners watched the most during the Super Bowl. The list includes two Doritos commercials that were produced as user-generated videos in a Frito-Lay/Yahoo Video contest, and a Chevrolet Ad produced by 19-year old University of Wisconsin Student Katie Crabb as part of a similar contest.

The complete list is after the jump.

Well, he's been offered a chance to work a one-hour shift, anyway. Taco Bell Corporation sent a letter to Kevin Federline asking him to work for one hour at an unspecified Taco Bell location so he could see "what a great place Taco Bell is to work." The offer came after Federline made a Super Bowl ad for Nationwide Insurance that shows him having lost everything and working at a fast food restaurant. The commercial angered the National Restaurant Association, which said the commercial was an insult to fast food workers.

I have to agree with Federline's insistence that the point of the commercial is to poke fun at himself and not fast food workers, and I have to disagree that Taco Bell is a great place to work. I've worked in fast food, and every minute spent behind that counter is like having your soul slowly extracted from your body until you're nothing more than a human husk without the ability to feel anything, physically or emotionally. At least, that was my experience. I respect anyone who works in that field, because it's a demanding and mostly thankless job.

I am not a Kevin Federline fan. I think he's a complete fool. However, despite the fact that he probably got a boatload of cash for doing the following commercial, I have to give him credit because he seriously takes a jab at himself in this new ad for Nationwide Insurance. You know, the ads where the slogan is "Life Comes At You Fast?" MC Hammer did a similar ad about a year ago.

So while Britney is all over the tabloids for her crotch-flashing exploits, turns out the former Mr. Spears is raking in the dough taking advantage of his new found celebrity status. The commercial, which officially airs during this Sunday's Super Bowl and apparently has the fast-food industry's panties in a knot, is after the jump. Be prepared to laugh.

Hey, Brigitte here with TV Squad Daily. I'll be covering the TV stories I find interesting each day, Monday through Friday, in this video blog.

Today on TV Squad Daily:

• Is Kevin Federline insulting restaurant workers with his portrayal of a fast food employee in an upcoming Superbowl commercial or are we all getting a little too eager to be offended? I think, as usual, he's mostly just offending himself.
  
• Tyra Banks is extremely hurt that a website published swimsuit pictures of her under the headline "Tyra banks is Fat."
  
• Co-star couples: Anne Heche left her husband for Men in Trees co-star James Tupper. Why does this keep happening?

"Donkey Party" (haha): This has been a week of amazing break-ups. First, Britney and K-Fed (I, a solid Alternative Rock fan, am unusually excited about the return of hot-Britney) and now, Bush and Rumsfeld. Oh, hell yes.

Obviously, the Republicans aren't taking all the Democratic wins that well... As for the blue folks themselves, they don't quite know how to handle the concept of "victory" either. Senior Political Correspondent Rob Riggle briefly checked in, sporting a nasty black eye (due to a "way ward high five"). QUESTION: Is Riggle just, like, completely unable to find a suit jacket that fits? He's almost always either only in shirt and tie or wearing a creepy Ambramoff-ish trenchcoat. Senior Political Correspondent Dan Bakkedahl talked a bit about how Republicans didn't do enough negative campaigning. I stopped paying attention about a sentence in because I just noticed that Bakkedahl no longer has that creepy, bald/curly Frasier Crane hair. Instead, he has an awkward little combover. I uess it's more reporter-ish, in a way.

Britney Spears is finally dropping that no-good, talentless husband of hers who brought out her trashiness. People magazine is citing a report from TMZ that Britney has filed for divorce from Kevin "Popozao" Federline. The legal papers claim "irreconcilable differences" and Britney is seeking custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, who is not quite two months old. Britney and Kevin married in September 2004 and we were all subjected to their 'romance' on their UPN show, Chaotic, the following year.

Hmmm. Britney neglected to mention this news when she "surprised" David Letterman on his show last night. In the meantime, Kevin Federline is out promoting his new album-- I bet he suddenly gets a lot of media interest.

If you watched Chaotic, or saw that video of "K-Fed" rapping, the thought might have crossed your mind that here is a guy that needs a good body slam. Maybe two. Well, you're in luck. Federline takes the next step in his growing acting career tonight with an appearance on WWE's Monday Night RAW, where he will go head to head with John Cena. I think we all know how that will turn out.

You have to give the guy credit, he knows how to pick a show. RAW is a perennial top ten cable show, and that follows up deals to appear on C.S.I. and Entourage. Also reported to be in attendance for the RAW show in Los Angeles are Steve-O and Chris Pontius from Jackass, Three Six Mafia, ZZ Top, Nick and Aaron Carter, and Antonio Sabato Jr. RAW airs on USA tonight 9-11.

I'm trying to figure out HBO's angle on a story I saw last night on MSNBC. Apparently, Kevin Federline has been cast for at least one episode of the next season of Entourage. He'll play a deadbeat husband of a celebrity. No acting required. Kevin says he's up for it, even if it means poking fun at himself (I'm pretty damn sure that's what it means, Kev).

If you can't wait until next year, you can see Kevin take his first stab at acting on CSI, where he'll play a punk who harasses investigators.

Oh my. CSI has cast Kevin Federline in an upcoming episode. People has a great quote from K-Fed about his reaction when CSI called and asked him if he wanted to be on the show: "I pissed in my pants!" I totally believe it, dude. K-Fed also says that CSI is "the only show that I really, really watch." Not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it? He'll play an arrogant teen who harasses investigators Nick and Warrick.

This is K-Fed's first acting/speaking role ever. I'm sure this makes other real, working actors feel great. This guy is a national joke for being a leech and he gets a speaking role??

Also in guest starring roles this season are John Mayer and Danny Bonaduce.
