K-Fed Gets Rewarded for Being a Slob!
Kevin Federline
After years of taking flak for donning wife beaters and baggy pants, Kevin Federline's fashion sense is finally being recognized! Clothing line Five Star Vintage, a subsidiary of apparel giant Blue Marlin, has paid Kevin under $1 million and photographed him to become the face of their Fall clothing line campaign!
"He embodies what Five Star Vintage clothing is," said a spokesman for the company. "We want someone who is willing to spend $300 on a pair of shoes. Let's face it, he is married to one of the richest women in the world, and he is having fun with her money." "Kevin flipped when he got the news," said a source close to Mr. Britney Spears.
"He couldn't believe that he'd ever get paid to look like he normally does." On Tuesday, June 13, Kevin showed up for his first day of work at a photo shoot at Miauhaus Studios in Los Angeles. Kevin arrived alone and surprised the whole staff by showing up on time!
"He was really nervous on the photo set. Kevin was drinking (beer) on the set and trying to relax before they started taking his picture," said a source at the photo shoot.
Posing in a tank top and track pants, Kevin tried to mug for the cameras said that he wasn't "feeling it" after the first hour. Just then, his wife, Britney Spears walked in carrying their bundle of joy Sean Preston in his arms!
"Hey y'all," Britney said when she walked into the photo studio wearing a white summer dress and a floral top. Britney had dressed her son in what is becoming his signature uniform: a sports jersey with the name "Sean P" written across the 9 month old child's chest.
Kevin was so excited to see Britney that he lost his concentration and the photographer suggested they take a break. Britney took Kevin aside and, according to our inside source on the set, told Kevin, "Listen baby.
I love you so much and I am here to support you. Plus, thank you so much for taking the attention away from me and putting yourself in front of the cameras!"
Kevin went back to shooting more photos and Britney egged him on during the shoot, yelling, "Yeah baby! I love you baby!" Meanwhile, manny Perry Taylor set up a makeshift nursery in the corner of the studio for baby Sean to play in. Perry brought toys and cars for Sean to play with. On a break, Kevin and Britney played with Sean and kept passing him back and forth.
During the entire photo shoot, the sound of a helicopter could be heard over head.Britney laughed about the photographers in the helicopter and said, "Kevin can't even go buy diapers without being followed by a helicopter!"
Kevin got very excited by the end of the photo shoot and said that he was pumped up to do more fashion modeling. The photos and ads will be featured in men's magazines like Maxim, GQ, and Playboy this fall.
The company has already expressed interest in working with Kevin again for future clothing lines.

Britney: The Domestic Diva?
Britney Spears
Is Britney Spears a domestic diva? Well, the pregnant star claimed she is, during her Dateline interview with Matt Lauer on June 15.
When Lauer asked Britney if she cleans her Malibu compound by herself, Britney responded, "Yes, I have a maid that comes once a week, but she slacks a little bit." She added that she does "everything," including cleaning the bathroom and doing the laundry.
Hmmm... Britney must be quite the power cleaner, considering her home is a 9,130-square-foot, eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion!
So not surprisingly, Britney's claim drew some skepticism from celebrity housekeeper Donnalyn O'Connor, who tells Star, "It would take about three to four days to take care of all those bathrooms, the laundry, the kitchen, the bedroom.
Even if I worked for 15 hours straight, I would not be able to get a house of that size cleaned and disinfected properly.
It would take a lot of time, especially with a baby to clean up after. She definitely needs a housekeeper, I've never heard of a person of with a house that big that does not at least have a staff of three housekeepers to help."

Angelina Jolie: 'Terrified' During Birth
Jolie with Maddox and Zahara
Angelina Jolie, in her first U.S. interview since Shiloh Nouvel was born last month, says she was frightening during her daughter's birth.
"You know, because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath," the actress says in an interview to air Tuesday on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, "That was my whole focus.
I just wanted to hear her cry." Jolie's two other children, 16-month-old Zahara and 4-year-old Maddox, are adopted.
Jolie also praises the medical team in Namibia who helped in the delivery – and says Brad Pitt was by her side during the birth. "He was in the operating room," she says in excerpts of the interview released to the Associated Press. "And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely."
Jolie, 31, and Pitt, 42, are back in the United States, with their three children. Pitt is in the process of adopting Maddox and Zahara.
Jolie, who sat for the interview in honor of World Refugee Day, tells Cooper that she gives a third of her income to charity: "Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do," she jokes.

Grey's Anatomy Star Katherine Heigl Engaged
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelly, Feb., 2006.
Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and her boyfriend, musician Josh Kelley, are engaged, their reps confirm exclusively to PEOPLE.
No wedding date has been set. The couple met last year when Heigl, 27, appeared in a video for Kelley's song "Only You." "At the end of the shoot, I said, 'You're gonna go eat dinner with us, and you can't say no,' " Kelley, 25, said in October. "So we ate, drank and just started hanging out after that."
Music is still part of their relationship: Kelley wrote a tune, "Katie's Song," for Heigl. "There is really nothing more romantic than that," Heigl told PEOPLE in December.
"It was one of the most thrilling and romantic things that I've ever experienced, and it makes me really like him bad."
Heigl, who also starred on the WB's Roswell, grew up in New Canaan, Conn., and worked as a model before she began acting. She is currently filming the comedy Knocked Up.
Kelley, an Augusta, Ga., native, released his debut album, For the Ride Home, in 2003. His second album, Almost Honest, came out last year, and his third, Just Say The Word, is scheduled to hit stores July 24.

Paul 'Devastated' by Stories About Heather
Sir Paul McCartney
Since Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills McCartney announced their split last month, Lady McCartney's image has endured the kind of public relations smackdown usually reserved for wayward members of the royal family.
First came the publication in the British tabloids of nude photographs taken 20 years ago of the former model that appeared in various sex guides.
Then a June 11 story in the News of the World tabloid alleged that Mills McCartney once worked as a prostitute – a claim she quickly denied in a statement from her lawyer, who threatened legal action and called the allegations "untrue and highly defamatory."
Although she's put on a brave face in public, friends say Mills McCartney, 38, is privately falling to pieces. "She is sobbing constantly," says one. "She is in a terrible state.
She is barely able to speak She feels betrayed and let down." Her estranged husband is feeling the sting as well. "Paul is deeply shocked by the claims that have been appearing," says a close pal. "It would be right to describe him as being devastated."
Another source says that although rumors about Mills McCartney had churned within British media circles for years, the former Beatle had been in the dark regarding the extent of many of them.
"I think they were going into a romance and not a business deal, so (the veracity of the rumors) wasn't looked into by his people," says the source. "There was simply no idea it was going to unravel like this."
As the tabloids continue to spin, "it is like some sort of bad drug trip for both of them." Now it appears at least one publisher intends to cash in on Mills McCartney's notoriety.
A spokesperson for German company Orion – which in 1998 published The Joys of Love, a 112-page photo book featuring Mills McCartney and a male model – says the company plans to re-issue the sex manual. "We are hoping to publish the book again," Orion's Ann-Kathrin Döbbeke tells PEOPLE.
"In about one month it should be published, but the final decision will be made in one week. It will be published in Germany and then distributed by our wholesalers in Britain and America. There will not be a problem with translating it as there is only a small amount of introductory text and the rest of the book is just photos.
