Kevin Federline, Britney Spears’ now beefed up ex husband and baby daddy, has signed on to join the cast of Celebrity Fit Club. This is great news for one main reason: it seems to indicate that the solo reality show deal that K-Fed was rumored to be working on is a no-go and he’ll have to join a cast of other z-list celebrities bickering and competing to lose weight. It won’t be only about K-Fed and his well-paid quest to drop the pounds.
Kevin Federline is about to slim down.
The father of four, who was married to Britney Spears, is joining the cast of Celebrity Fit Club, a rep for VH1 confirms to PEOPLE
Also appearing on the seventh season of the show will be Federline’s ex-girlfriend (and the mother of two of his kids) Shar Jackson, according to a source.
Federline, a former backup dancer, has been lambasted in the press for putting on weight since his split from Spears three years ago.
The newest season of Celebrity Fit Club premieres on VH1 Feb. 14, 2010.

On Monday we heard from Federline’s ex girlfriend and the mother of his two oldest kids, Shar Jackson. Shar told US Magazine that K-well-Fed “doesn’t care” that he’s gained weight, and that “The beautiful thing about him is that he could care less [that he’s much bigger now]” As JayBird pointed out, the increased girth has only afforded Federline more opportunities to earn money apart from the over $20k a month he gets for watching two of his kids half time. I wonder if that rumored $2.5 million diet pill endorsement deal has also fallen through. Surely VH1 has a clause in their “Fit Club” contract that participants can’t endorse outside diet and fitness products. Soon we’ll get to see if K-Fed’s ego is just as bloated as it was before his divorce or if his bravado has decreased in inverse proportion to his size.

I hate to admit it, but I love Celebrity Fat Club! I was just wondering the other day if they were still going to do the show. Yeah, my life isn’t that exciting right now!
I want to see Nicole Eggert. I used to think she was so hot on Chuck in charge.
When did he become a Celebrity?
New Rule: You have to be a celebrity first to get on a show called, Celebrity Fit Club.
Gawd, what a piglet!
there are no celebrity’s on Fit club Grex, that’s half the fun, figuring out who these people are.
I must have missed few seasons. Last one I remember had Nate Dogg & maybe Hammer. Seems like a few years back
I too love some Fit Club.
Lem the thing is most of the people on CLC were famous at one time or another on their on merits not because they lucky enough to knocked on a pop tart princess twice before the divorce.
Really that’s his claim to fame having a famous rich ex-wife. Oh and bowling and eating himself into a spokes model for the Big and Tall stores.
some of them are famous or were famous in their own right, some of them are related to someone famous, and some are just famous for being fat.
Seriously, when you have Dustin Diamond on a show, the celebs are not going to be A-List. Plus if you are a big time celeb, you are going to have a personal trainer and not parade yourself around on a VH1 show.
Lem- You are totally right about trying to figure out who the people are being half the fun. I watched like a half season before I figured out who that Janie Lane guy was.
snort! He looks like the world’s doofiest dwarf in those ridiculous shorts.
Yknow, I just can’t hate on K-Fed anymore. The dude has quietly stepped up to the plate when it came to dealing with Brit’s obvious mental disorder and in the raising of their children. People deride him as a “gold-digger”, but wouldn’t we be saying the same if he was the huge star and she was the ‘backup dancer’? Alimony and child support are hugely different matters when it comes to multi-millionares. What we see is gouging is normal to them.
I’m just reminded of the video that came out during Brit’s “hostage” night, when he was swerving his car to cut the paparazzi off so they couldn’t drive alongside the car carrying the kids. That’s a dad, right there.
Stacy and Clinton need to get ahold of his bloated arse too. He dresses like a complete slob
Well, that explains why he gained weight so fast.
