Brit Drops K-Boom On K-Fed In Text Message

Spears Serves Federline With Divorce Papers After A Rocky 2-Year Marriage

(CBS)  According to Canadian music channel MuchMusic, pop singer Britney Spears told her husband Kevin Federline that she was divorcing him via text message while he was taping an episode of the MuchMusic documentary show "Exposed" on Monday night.

Before receiving the text messages, Federline told MuchMusic that Spears is his biggest supporter but said that when they get into an argument, he blows off steam by going out to party.

"He talked about Britney throughout the day and never said anything and never let on in any way," said MuchMusic VJ Matte Babel. "Everything seemed to be fine from what I gathered from his demeanor and how he acted. But then at dinner, it was really weird because we were in conversation and everything was good and then all of a sudden ... He had just ordered a big steak, and an expensive one at that. Then he said he didn't want to eat it, pushed it away (and said) he wasn't hungry. Then (he) went out and when he came back he looked like he'd seen a ghost."

Spears seems poised for a comeback now that she filed for divorce following a tumultuous two-year marriage with Federline, her former backup dancer.

The marriage, which produced two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, 2 months, also produced many rumors. Federline, 28, has a reputation as partier and spent many nights out while Spears, 24, stayed home with the children.

Two months after she gave birth to her second son, the pregnancy weight is gone. On Monday, she appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" with her new thin body and bob hair cut. She filed for divorce the next day.

"There's been a stir that any time Britney appeared on Letterman, something big will happen," Katrina Zisch of Us Weekly told The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. "Last time she did, she announced she was pregnant for the second time so people were suspicious she was going to be on soon."

Zisch said Spears will offer Federline, who has two other children with actress Shar Jackson, visitation rights, but she wants sole custody of the children.

"I think she realizes Kevin is not a good influence for her kids and he's lucky to get those rights," Zisch said.

Before the two were married, Spears' attorney made sure she had a prenuptial agreement to protect her and the estimated $32 million she is worth. The agreement states that Federline will be given $300,000 per year equal to half the time they were married, Zisch said.

"That marriage is done, done, done. Stick a fork in him, he's done," said Harvey Levin, managing editor of TMZ, the Web site that broke the story.

The legal papers were filed by celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser who handled divorces for such stars as Angelina Jolie and Nick Lachey.

Spears married hometown pal Jason Alexander in a late-night Vegas ceremony in January 2004 that lasted 55 hours before it was annulled. In the divorce papers she filed earlier this week, Spears is citing irreconcilable differences with Federline.

"They had a huge fight about the babies," said Linda Massarella, the West Coast editor of In Touch Weekly. "She has threatened to file for divorce maybe every week for the last two years since they've been married."

Zisch said the couple had an argument at Federline's album launch party in Los Angeles on Halloween night.

"Britney was there, but she stayed in her dressing room," Zisch said. "Then they were sighted having an explosive argument and she was spotted taking off down the back staircase in her dress and bare feet."

According to Zisch, the problems continued in New York when the couple stayed in separate hotels and Spears was seen crying while out to dinner with a friend.

The celebrity marriage had been a boon to Federline's career. He recently had a guest spot on "CSI" and put out his own album. But insiders say it was always tough going. Their time together included many public missteps, including a literal one when Spears almost dropped Sean Preston while she was in New York. She was also seen driving with her oldest son on her lap, prompting a public outcry.

Spears seems poised for a comeback, but Federline, whose concert tour has not been doing well, is "toast" Zisch said.

This is news?

Well, it's about time that she saw this idiot for what he really is - a brainless sponge. The only good thing to come out of that union of doom were those 2 precious babies. They can't help who their daddy is. Hopefully, K-Fed will fade into the woodwork and let Brit raise the babies alone. They would be better off. He is nothing, a zero. K-Fed is a waste of space.

This is surreal...on the most important day in our nation's recent history...a breaking AP news banner reads: "Britney Spears to divorce husband!"

Same situation on every news website I checked: a flurry of political news then BAM! There's Britney! Smack dab in the middle of reports about the senate hanging by a thread. Its bizarre.

[ssporleder]

I hope she sticks to her decision to have a life.

[sissymacandr]

I don't know why so many people are taking pot shots and this fellow. At least he is trying to work and make his way. He also has children. How would you feel if your children were reading peoples posts about you that were so negative? You should think a bit before blasting people how their children will be hurt and take better responsibilities with your liberties and words. And what the fact that Brittany seduced him while he was common law husband to another woman who was pregnant at the time? What is going to happen to all of these children as a result of Brittany's impulses and desires? Four of them don't have a live in father now. What is so admirable about that? Whatever Brittany has it took an ARMY of people to help her get. Whatever he has he had to create from nothing and from a solitary position. Get real and get the importances straight here. What is most important are those children.

I wouldnt want to married to her for two seconds
she didnt even have the guts to tell him in person low down if ya ask me celebrity trash any way these filty stars treat marrage as something
you can just walk away from at any time you want
i dont know why they even bother to get married

[sissymacandr]

I think Kfed's music is a hundred times better than Emineme. I just saw a clip and I was surprised. I think he's moving up. I hope for the sake of his children he keeps going North. Maybe breaking free of Brittany is part of his evolution. We shall see.

[open_minded]

I can't believe at some of the things I read on this about britney spears...don't you guys see that she is the victim here...the one who got used for all that she's got and you want to talk about her...she has had enough of a hard time when the media emphasizes her mistakes of being a first time mother...now she is being talked down to when she finally realizes and wakes up about her no good now to be ex husband...tsk tsk tsk...shame shame shame on those who put blame on her...if you couldn't see that he wasn't any good to begin with when he left his pregnant girlfriend for another woman...that he wasn't good already...you still don't see it now...you need to seek God for help.

[fredhetz]

Regarding open_minded's comments: I don't think I see that Britney is to blame for this. She made the best decision she could in marrying Federline and that should say a lot to you.

As for the media focusing on her errors: she drove with a baby on her lap and then almost dropped the same baby as she walked with a drink in one hand. Yes, people are human -- but this is someone who doesn't seem to have a lot of common sense.

"You need to seek God for help" because they criticized Britney Spears?

Which commandment says you can't criticize Britney Spears?

[sissymacandr]

"...tsk tsk tsk...shame shame shame on those who put blame..."

What do you think you are doing shaming people?
Why are you protesting against some support for a young men with four children and telling other people to seek God for help? Sounds like you have a lot of room for tolerance and forgiveness
and maybe you should seek some help.

Everyone is taking shots at kevin, but he was the smart one he'll be walking away with 300,000 that he didn't have before, and a story to tell..
This should be no shoker to anyone, Britney might as well stayed married to the first guy be probably would have tried to make the marrige work.

[nadeau4201]

"Wow" someone has a crush
Sissy silly Sissy tricks are for kids
I think you've been smokin too many lids
You must be high, to stick up for this guy.

Dumb and dumber
deserve each other
I hope they just fade away
Thats all I have to say

[nadeau4201]

Right on!!!! shafteriffic

[sissymacandr]

Let's meet back here for a reunion when she marries husband number seven.

She's got the power and the money to buy any brand of honey.

Here's to her having all the pleasure and good times she can get.

Here's to the second husband for bringing color to our lives.

Here's to all those children and I hope they take it all in stride.

Poor Brit-does anyone care?

[missyj1964]

Well, I think that Cameron Diaz better watch out!!! I don't think that Justin and Brit ever got over eachother. I smell a reconciliation. Cameron needs to find someone her own age anyway. Cradle robber!!

[highthis]

She can get marryed to a lot of men, but she will not find the right man for herself. She want to keep married for short time and kick out who does want.

[anikins]

Congratulations to all the parties involved. To Britney for finally finding a man who would do her the way she so wanted. To Kevin for scoring $300,000 that he didn't have before. Dude made $150,000 a year for sleeping with one of the most famous ****** this decade has produced. All the lawyers who were waiting behind the curtains...to all the magazines, editors, newspaper reporters, etc., who have made millions with this pathetic story...and last but not least, congratulations to Kevin's ex, for now her career might pick up as well. The only joy I get out of reading this so NOT breaking news is that at least it gives me the hope that this whole Britney-Kevin circus might be close to an end, and perhaps now newspapers and magazines might go back to reporting actual news, instead of stupid gossip.
