Just like Britney, K-Fed is attempting to clean up his image but is going about it half-assed and failing. He supposedly put out a press release stating that he’s changed his whole look and has abandoned the loose hip-hop gear in favor of suits. Wearing suits will solve everything, K-Fed.

FedEx and his posse attended a party in NY for a new book called “The Concise Guide to Sounding Smart at Parties” and was said to actually be interested in what the book was about. He later reverted to old ways and was downing shots at the open bar.

Fully clothed K-Fed still is coming off as the less f’ed up party in his divorce with Britney though. In an interview with E! he doesn’t sound like as much of a douche as he normally does. Maybe they edited out the bragging he normally does:

“I am good, I am great, you know … just moving along, progressing and taking it all in stride,” the 28-year-old aspiring rapper tells E! News in an interview that was to air Wednesday night…

Federline, who is seeking spousal support and sole custody of his sons with Spears, says he’s a family man and “that is the truth … in all honesty, that is what it is.”

He is also the father of a 4-year-old daughter, Kori, and a 2-year-old son, Kaleb, with actress Shar Jackson. They dated before he became involved with Spears.

Meanwhile, the media is giving the club-hopping Federline a tough time.

“I laugh a little bit about it you know,” he said. “I don’t take it too seriously. Those are people who don’t really know who I am.”

His debut album, Playing With Fire, sold a dismal 6,500 copies in its first week of release. The CD was released Oct. 31.

When asked about it, Federline says he’s “working it slowly, still trying to get out there and do more stuff … I got a lot of options on the table right now.”

His New Year’s resolution?

To be “a little bit wiser, a little bit stronger.”

That all sounds surprisingly normal coming from K-Fed.
