Kevin Federline dumped from Legally Blonde musical for diva behavior


Kevin Federline is going to have a lot more time to spend with his sons. Britney’s ex was supposed to head to Broadway in September to play three bit roles in the musical Legally Blonde. Instead he’s been dumped because of his demands, and there’s now a casting call to fill his parts. Federline was set to move to New York with his boys while he worked on the show, but will have to stay put in LA instead:

“The producers gave Kevin his walking papers,” an insider tells Star. “Kevin was acting like a Broadway diva, and he hasn’t even stepped onto the stage yet!”

An emergency casting call has been sent out to fill Kevin’s trio of roles, including a dim-witted UPS delivery man, the insider adds. Until recently, Kevin had been planning on taking sons Sean Preston and Jayden James to live in NYC in September while he worked on the Tony-nominated musical adaptation.

Given the lack of details, it’s possible all that Star knows is that Kevin’s roles are now open in the show, and maybe his Broadway gig didn’t work out for another reason. I can believe that he wanted special treatment, though. He gets paid tens of thousands to show up at one party in Vegas and it must have been a pay cut for him to go to Broadway.

Kevin may have proven to be the more responsible party during his divorce from Britney, but we called him a douche bag when he was with her for good reason. This is the guy who bragged about having expensive watches and nearly 100 pairs of sneakers right before Britney surprised him with divorce papers. He made a piss poor attempt at rapping and kept defending himself, saying his fame as Britney’s husband was holding him back. He hasn’t morphed into a great guy overnight. He’s also making $20,000 a month from Britney in child support and doesn’t need to do much work at all to support himself. K-Fed is not about to go to Broadway and work his ass off like everyone else because in his mind there’s no point.

    The list of things he’s Fed-Ex at is growing!

    This is one of the only stories i have read that is true about the situation of Brit and Kevin. K-Fed(ha!ha!) is the one that should have never gotten custody of the kids. Where was the judge when all of the things Kevin did prior to the divorce. He’s definitly a gold-digger.

  3. geronimo says:

    Agree, have never understood those who either find this guy attractive or think he makes a decent parent. Nothing but a scummy leech who tried to bleed her dry along with all the rest of them when she was in no fit state to fight back. No wonder he fought for custody – still bleeding her dry but this time with an official seal of approval. Scum.

    Earrings on men scream stupid.

    his nannies were better than her nannies.

  6. Denise from Portland Oregon says:

    He looks like David Gest now. Great things await K-Fag in his “future”!

  7. Kevin says:

    If he’s such a great dad, what is he doing with his other two kids?

  8. Bodhi says:

    He has joint custody of them.

    Look, I don’t like the guy per se (although he does clean up really well 😉 ) but he has really stepped up to the plate as far as his kids are concerned

  9. Syko says:

    With you on that, Bodhi, although I have become nervous about posting anything opinionated since being called out by another poster for being negative and judgmental.

    We don’t really know why he lost the parts. For all we know, he is not allowed to take the kids out of California and had to back out himself. He seems to be good with the kids, which to me is one of the sexiest things a man can have going for him.

    He’s still scum. Opportunistic, smirking, no-talent, knuckle-dragging scum. Sorry. No reprieve for Jethro.

  11. oxa says:

    I do not think he can take the kids out of state so I do not believe he was ever going to do Broadway.

  12. Kevin says:

    Syko. Who called you out? I like your posts. Thats why we come on this site,,,to offer our opinion. You by far seem to be one of the more mild posters and not offensive at all. You read some people’s posts and you start to get a feel for what kind of person they are. Say what you feel. We are all different to some degree,,,look at K-Schmuck,,nuff said.

  13. geronimo says:

    You tell her, Kevin.

    Syko, we’re ALL opinionated and judgemental here. Isn’t that what celebs are for?? I’m sure Brit will survive your disapproval! Please resume normal service. 😉
