KEVIN GETS A JOB!
Monday April 3, 2006
After two years of living off his wife's millions, Mr.
Britney Spears finally earned some of his own cash — for a change. On March 25,
Kevin Federline was hired to appear for three hours at Atlanta's Vision Nightclub. The would-be rapper earned an estimated $20,000 fee for sitting in the club's "VIP circle" area (where guests could buy 10-person tables for $1,500 apiece), giving shout-outs to the crowd, and lip-synching when the DJ played his new song, "PopoZao." "It's unbelievable how high he ranked as a club draw," media promoter Chris Kappy, who arranged the gig, told
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Only
Paris Hilton ranked higher in the survey we did. He's just such an oddity."
And not an ideal hire, either. Though he was booked to appear at 11 p.m., Federline and Spears, who were staying together at Atlanta's Ritz-Carlton hotel, didn't arrive until 12:30 a.m. — and slipped out at 2:05 a.m., almost an hour earlier than scheduled. And while he was whooping it up, Britney "looked miserable," the source says. "At one point, Kevin was singing to her, and Britney just laughed at him!"
THE GOOD TIMES
That's a sharp contrast to the previous week, when Federline and Spears, pregnant with their second child, were in a frisky mood — looking like a couple whose rocky marriage might actually be back on track. On March 21, Kevin's 28th birthday, Britney threw him a party at Las Vegas' Tao restaurant where, a source tells
Star, "she sat on Kevin's lap and fed him appetizers."
The couple and their friends feasted on Kobe beef, crispy tuna, Chilean sea bass and sweet shrimp — before heading to Pure nightclub. There, Kevin and Britney, 24, about three months pregnant and clad in a low-cut black cocktail dress, "held hands, kissed, and danced on a VIP bed," a source says. The next day, they gambled at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino before returning to Tao, where he drank Veuve Clicquot and she had a Cosmopolitan. They also engaged in some public tongue action on the dance floor. Says an eyewitness: "It looked like they were eating each other's faces!"
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Their week wasn't all partying, though. On March 23, they shopped at Kids Karnivale in Las Vegas. Britney bought clothing for Kevin's 3-year-old daughter, Kori (who, she mentioned, is "taking dance classes," an onlooker reports). For 6-month-old Sean Preston, she purchased miniature police, Navy and fireman uniforms, and "a little white Elvis costume for $100," the onlooker says.
That was just two days before they appeared at Vision Nightclub in Atlanta, looking estranged. "For most of the night, they didn't talk much," says a source. But according to a friend of K-Fed, this yo-yo routine is one constant in their marriage. "It's hard to keep up with their marriage because it changes day to day," the insider tells
Star. "One day they're all kissy-kissy and smiles — the next they're at each other's throats."
