K. Fed: 'I'm Almost Broke'
by Kat Giantis

Kevin Federline lives in a multimillion-dollar Malibu mansion, drives a fleet of fancy cars, sports a diamond-encrusted wristwatch the size of a hubcap, and has a seemingly endless supply of wife-beater t-shirts and trucker hats, but he says the pockets of his trademark baggy, saggy he-capris are nearly empty because he refuses to mooch off his moneybags missus, Britney Spears.

"I don't get any money from my wife," the overly fertile former backup dancer-turned-much-mocked-PopoZao-inflicting rapper tells the September issue of GQ (via the London Mirror). "I'm almost broke."

Seems the soon-to-be father of four quickly burned through the estimated $2 million he pocketed from the shaky, half-baked reality show that was "Chaotic." Among his outsize outlays: plunking down $200,000 on Britney's engagement ring and ponying up plenty more to build a home recording studio and produce his forthcoming album, "Playing with Fire." (Apparently not making the cut: College funds and savings accounts.

"As a man, as a male figure and a father, I wouldn't be happy sitting back and living off my wife's fortune," declares K. Fed, who's been earning his keep through such backbreaking toils as nightclub promotional appearances and the occasional spokesmodel gig. "I have to provide for my family. People gotta understand that I'm working, too. She's not the only one that's got things to do."

Of course, that's not to say he won't accept a token offering from Britney (you know, besides the $2 million he got for "Chaotic"). Like that Ferrari he's so fond of tooling around in, although he insists they went halvsies on the $500,000 vehicle. (No word on whether he's also footing half the bill on that no-limit American Express Black card In Touch claims his trusting wife recently gave him.

Another gift from his erstwhile pop starlet spouse: collaborating with him on a few ditties for his album, duets he says they'll hold off on plugging until she dumps the 40 or so pounds she's packed on during her pregnancy.

"After she has the baby and gets skinny," explains Federline, "we're gonna hit 'em with this s**t."

But before you take comfort in the thought that you'll spared the pain of bleeding eardrums for a good long while, keep in mind that Spears, who is reportedly due in October, is counting the days until she can feel the burn.

"I'm so excited to really be able to sweat like I used to," the privacy-pleading star tells People in this week's "My Life as a Mom" cover story. "I'm definitely going to start working out in a huge way."

Kevin, too, is trying to get on a health kick, but says he just can't shake his nicotine habit. "To me it's probably the equivalent of being addicted to heroin," he explains to GQ, echoing a similar statement made last month by his wife's ex, Justin Timberlake ("Nicotine is more addictive than heroin," the chart-topper told the London Observer).

Federline's celebrity-tested solution: "I'm gonna try hypnotism. Matt Damon did it."

The déclassé duo does have kind words for one another in their respective interviews, with Kevin giving props to Britney for being a "very good mother" to 11-month-old Sean Preston, while she gushes, "He's awesome. He rubs my feet. I'm like, 'Rub my damn feet, they hurt!'"

Federline, who's set to close Teen Choice Awards on Aug. 20 with a performance of "Lose Control" (set those TiVos, people), even defends her decision to turn Sean P. into the world's littlest paparazzi getaway driver: "People don't know what it's like being chased by all those cars and if Britney feels like she gotta take the baby and put him on her lap and get out of there then so be it."

He also reveals he's the one who saved their relationship early on, when Britney "thought she could play me."

Says Kevin, who's apparently caught an episode or two of "Dr. Phil" when he's not providing for his family, "She was playing games and testing me to see where my head is at, see if she could get away with this or that ... [but] we talked and got over it and that was that."
