If society didn’t have Kevin Federline to teach us the difference between right and wrong, I’m not sure we’d make it. The man who for so long personified douchbaggery now seems like father of the year, at least when held up next to Britney Spears. But so does that ficus tree in the living room when held up next to Britney Spears. It’s hard to tell how much Kevin Federline has changed. Is he actually a good dad now, or is Britney just so crazy that he seems like a good dad? Are his motivations really his sons, or the money attached to them? If Britney went bankrupt, would K-Fed still be fighting for Sean Preston and Jayden James? It’s hard to say, and it’s not possible to get inside of his head. But for the most part, Federline certainly seems to be saying the right things at the right time. Or at least his hired hands are.

Kevin Federline’s lawyer says Monday’s court decision to keep Britney Spears from visiting her children is a difficult decision with a clear impact on all of the family members. Mark Vincent Kaplan called the court order barring Spears from visiting her children indefinitely “painful, but appropriate.” Especially affected will be the boys Jayden, 1, and Preston, 2.

“Kevin’s not indifferent to how difficult it has to be on their mother (Spears) and on the kids,” Kaplan told PEOPLE. “It’s a sad situation. There’s no victorious feeling. Kevin wants nothing more than to be able to parent his children with participation by their mother,” says Kaplan. “But the best interest of the children require that they be in the most sound, safe, nurturing and consistent environment. That is paramount.” He adds, “[Kevin] is committed to trying to fill any void by him being there at all times for them in any way. He can’t replace their mother in their life but he is going to try to minimize the hardship.”

You could make a lot of arguments that it’s all due to Kevin’s great legal team. But Britney has good lawyers too, the difference is that Kevin will actually drag his butt out of bed and go to court, whereas Britney will lounge around, show up hours late, and then never actually enter the courtroom, choosing to go to the gas station and drink an orange soda instead. So you could pretty much make the argument that Federline’s a better parent based on that alone.

But it also seems K-Fed is shopping a tell-all book around. That makes one questions his motivations all over again, as dishing out a lot of dirty secrets about the mother of half his children doesn’t seem in their best interests.

Kevin Federline is penning a tell-all about his hellish marriage to Britney Spears. Kevin is in chats to sell his story for $10 million, spilling his ex-wife’s lesbian desires and suspected Multiple Personality Disorder in the process. “He’s been writing things down for a long time about his tempestuous time with Britney. He’ll earn a fortune with this.” Publishing experts believe Kev could pull more than the anticipated $10 million bonanza if he plays his cards right. “A book like that would be really hot. There would definitely be a bidding war,” publisher Ron Turner reveals to Star Magazine. “When all is said and done, with advance serialization and international rights and movie rights he could get $10m, if not more.”

Most of the dirty details are rumors we’ve already heard before; though one would assume he’d give specifics. Things like them having unprotected sex on their first date, Britney spending most of her time drunk and high, dressing up in dirty costumes (I think there was some gossip floating around for a long time that she had an entire locked room filled with sex costumes), and that she was always begging Federline for a threesome. And of course that K-Fed wasn’t into it, and was worried Brit was more into girls that guys. And then there’s the requisite sex tape rumors. Back when those first hit the internet, I didn’t think there was any truth to them. Someone famous like Britney Spears must be smart enough to know that somehow, they’d get out. That was before everyone knew Brit was batshit crazy. Now I’m sure that room filled with sex costumes is actually a room filled with Britney’s own sex tapes.

If K-Fed does actually write a tell-all, I admit I’d read it. I still questions the guy’s intentions, but the curiosity factor is just too high. With so many crazy rumors floating around about Britney – and so many turning out to be true – I’d find it interesting to hear about it from someone close to her – even if you have to take every word with a grain of salt.
