Not a good week to be K-Fed

[DonC]

First Brit dumps his ass. Then he plays New York City in front of a crowd of about 300 people. Now the numbers are in: Six thousand copies of his CD sold, coming in at 151st place. (http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=af3ceee6-12c5-47f5-a2da-4d36bd11f617)

Ouch.

What I'm looking forward to is the article 15 years from now in People telling us whatever happened to K-Fed.

I'm betting a heavy drug habit, followed by Jesus.

[Ontir]

Let's be fair: We've no proof he's a sack of shit.

[Deathstroke]

Let's be fair: We've no proof he's a sack of shit.

4 kids, no visible means of income independent of his wife, no actual job prospects, and suing for sole custody of the two kids with Britney in order to force a better settlement out of her outside of the prenup?

What more proof do you need?

Seriously, that's a bit harsh. I wish him well in his retirement, and hope he'll handle the money wisely, so he can be the best dad possible to his 4 children.

Well, here's to hoping.

I'm just amazed he sold six thousand copies. I mean, in the bigger picture I know it's not that much, but how many people would really like to be known as Kevin Federline fans? I'm betting more than a few of those are ending up as gag gifts.

[Leslie Lee III]

There'd be a whole lot of women out there you'd put in the "sack of shit" category if that's all you've got. And you're wrong. He's currently working with the WWE for, reportedly, $15,000 per appearance. He's probably made more money from that than anyone here calling him a sack of shit has this fiscal year. With the divorce it could only increase his value from the WWE standpoint.

Then there's the whole issue of raising kids can be a full time job in itself, and the fact that he DID make an attempt to launch a music career so it's not like he was doing nothing. He's doing as much of no more than many celebrity wives who won't get called out like that. Is it because he's a guy and supposed to be the breadwinner?

[elheffe]

Actually, I think he's jealous.

[Buried Alien]

Just how good/bad is selling six thousand copies of a CD these days in the downloading, Post-Tower Records music industry? Did the latest Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney CDs move significantly more than six thousand units?

Seriously, that's a bit harsh. I wish him well in his retirement, and hope he'll handle the money wisely, so he can be the best dad possible to his 4 children.

He did not pursue sole support for his other child when he married Britney. Federline is only looking out for himself via the child support for his kids so he can spend the money on himself. He's pretty much human waste right there.

[Ontir]

Many people just assume that the kids should, at the point of a split, remain with their mother. It may well be a baseless assumption; but it exists, and unless a mother is un-fit, it's often difficult to wrest custody from her, particularly when you're trying to get custody of an infant, and at the time he hooked up with Spears, an un-born child. The condemnations of this man are getting ridiculous.

Also, when he and Spears got together, it was his ex who sought an order that her kids not be left alone with Spears, because she had no idea how to handle an infant. Britney's escapades since then have more than vindicated this claim, and made his seeking custody of their children a far more reasonable request than anything ever suggested with his ex.

Um, A Bigger Bang went platinum. So, yeah, it moved a little bit more than 6,000 copies.

Chaos and Creation in the Backyard moved 45,000 copies; not great, but still more than 6,000.

I think both responses are a bit out of proportion, since both involve thinking about him in the first place.

From K-Fed to FedEx (yep, it still amuses me). He could have a future in professional wrestling as a manager.

What in the past few years has given you the impression he's interested in anything to do with children except providing the sperm to create them.

He's a blight on the world and should be removed. It's bad enough he's already got four entries into the genetic pool.

Selling only 6,000 copies of a CD would have looked even more pathetic than it does today pre-1999, but in an era when Wherehouse and Tower Records are no longer in business, and everybody and his grandmother are downloading their music from the Web, not even the bona-fide superstars can sell millions of records like people did in the heyday of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones (let alone wannabes such as Federline). I can't imagine any album ever again selling like THE BEATLES (White Album), DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, or THRILLER.

My guitar teacher plays with a little known rock band called Cid. It would be completely unknown except for the fact that former Oingo Boingo members John and Sam Avila are also members of the band.

They recorded and released a CD about ten years ago. Good music and good musicianship, but very little promotion and I think they probably didn't sell as many as 6,000 units (and this was back in the pre-download era).

I read somewhere that the record industry is operating on lowered expectations these days, at least as far as sales of physical product. They're trying to recoup it on the downloading end, but are still growing into it.

I have to agree K-Fed selling 6,000 records is astounding. Was there anyone thinking this might be good?

How do record sales work? Is that 6,000 wholesale or retail? I could see record stores ordering 6,000 collectively, and now they just sit on the shelves collecting dust...

Way, way more than 6,000 were shipped to stores. There are far more than 6,000 retail outlets that sell major-label record releases in the country, and it’s not like they only ordered one apiece.

It’s a rough estimate of over-the-counter sales. Of course, not all retail locations report sales data, but the numbers are presumably configured to reflect that.

I don't give a damn one way or the other about Federline, but I really am curious about what constitutes "big sales" in today's music industry. The advent of downloaded music has rewritten the parameters of what constitutes a hit and what constitutes a flop in the pop music business.

The idea that a new Paul McCartney record could sell a "mere" 45,000 copies suggests a whole new world.

I think people are over exaggerating this downloaded a bit. Yeah people do download and while I can't speak for everyone I think people download mainly because albums are not as good as they used to be. Nowa days your lucky to get 2 good songs on an album that cost $20 compare to just 10 years ago when you could have gotten one with over 5 good songs for the same price. If the album is good and has a good amount of songs on it, it will sell in the millions or even the tens of millions.

Why would Paul McCartney sell more records than that now? You yourself admitted it wasn't an entirely satisfying record.

I'm just curious as to why anyone would think that now, 36 years after the Beatles broke up, Macca should be expected to move the units he once did.

I have to agree with Titan76, people are over exaggerating the impact downloading has had on music sales. Ipods and the like aren't quite as popular as CD players just yet. For contrast, the soundtrack to Hannah Montana (whatever the hell that is) was #1 according to Soundscan. It sold over 200,000 copies to K-Fed's 6,000.

That's why in a few years time, the iPod has revolutionized the Apple market, and iTunes is now the 4th or 5th largest retailer of music, while "Brick & Mortar" vendors continue to go out of business!

Truly. I don't care what's going on, or how bad things are (aside from violence), that's NOT how you end a relationship, and it just shows me how immature Britney Spears really is, making her less interesting to me, than she's ever been before. If you've ever been dumped, you know how hard it is. If you've been dumped coldly, or rudely, you know how much worse it makes it all. Spears has some wicked Karma coming her way!

[Jonathan Bogart]

Assuming, that is, that this is all real and not just canny publicity work.

Honestly, why would anyone who doesn't care for the music follow this stuff at all?

[Ontir]

You know, I've thought about that. She's purportedly got a new album in the wings, and his isn't doing so well. This could all be an elaborate publicity stunt; but I don't think it is.

[Athena Bast]

I think if this was a publicity stunt her album would have a street date.

200,000 sounds like an anemic figure compared to the sales achieved by records during the 1950s-1980s. I remember a time not that long ago when a new release by a major artist that sold *only* a million units would be considered "a disappointment."

That same time ago if a comic book sold only 100,000 copies it would also be considered a disappointment. Times have change. The downloading is a factor in music sales but I don't think its thee reason why albums don't sell like they once use to.

From the 50's to the 90's we saw different types of music and music that wasn't consider cool to one Gen. was cool for the next one. There was a lot better and more creative music during those times. From 2000-06 what so special or great has come out compare to those times? I mean really.

Most albums today imo and almost everyone I know as well have only 2 good songs on it. Do you think anyone is going to spend $20 on a album for 2 songs? I know this isn't a excuse for downloading but that's how mostly all the people I know feel. Now we don't make up the vast majority but it gives you a idea I think of how some fans might feel. Not to mention fans also find iPods to be better then CDs since you can have more songs on it(not to mention video) and you don't have to worry about it getting scratch and all the other problems a CD has.

The music industry just has to adapt like every other business does when times and technology that involve their fields changes.

[Ontir]

I have to go along with Elheffe on this, Stroke. Why so down on the guy? Have you had a run-in with him? It just seems like there's an abnormal amount of rage directed at him. I was never even that mad at Helen Hunt, and she treated me like something she scraped off her shoe!

It's generally a natural reaction for people to be hostile against those that, to them, appear to be promoted well above their talent levels. K-Fed isn't really all that good-looking. He's not a very good singer. He's not really a trained wrestler. And a couple things about him don't seem to point to him being all that stand-up of a guy. For all intents and purposes, there doesn't appear to be much to Keven Federline to warrant his raised position in society.

Much in the same way people hate Paris Hilton. She's not nearly as hot as she's promoted to be (in truth I find her ugly). She's not a good singer. She's not a good actress. She's just an heiress to a huge fortune.

It's just human nature, I suppose.

[Ullar]

k-fed is as abd as the miz (if u watch WWE u know what i mean). he is attacking cena (i know its fake but it still is crappy) he elft his GF while she ahd a kid and ahs pregnat. he is human trash and like the miz needs the boogyman 2 spit worms on hsi face

[Ontir]

I think there's also a bit of sexism involved here. If Federline was the star, and Spears was riding his coat-tails to stardom, it would be commented upon; but it wouldn't sit nearly as bad as the actual reversed situation. A man being seen as dependent upon a woman is still a sign of weakness.

Chris Judd didn't put an album out; but he still bore the brunt of being J-Lo's "BoyToy," until she dumped him for Affleck. That was the only time he got any compassion, and even that was limited.

Not a requirement for the WWE. Anyone who hates him, even a little bit, because of that and still watches WWE is a bigger joke than K-Fed could be. If you can watch the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass club, or John Cena as champ but draw the line at K-Fed, you need help.

Chris Judd didn't think "Hey, I'm J.Lo's husband which means anything I touch turns to instant money for me" which is what probably went through Federline's mind.

He also didn't stop being a dancer or choreographer when they hooked up.

Federline just stopped being what brought him his dollars and Britney's attention. If Federline kept being a dancer or started a dance studio or something I think he would be seen as less of a gold digger.

Federline used Britney's work to get him somewhere.

Actually, I was only guessing he wasn't a trained wrestler. I haven't watched much WWE in years. I used to turn off the Kiss My Ass Club, and the last time I saw John Cena, he was made to look incredibly good by Kurt Angle in a prime time match. But that was when a bunch of very good wrestlers were getting promoted - at the beginning of the so-called "split."

I meant "you" in a general sense, of course. FYI, he is far from the worst thing on the show and plays his limited role better than a lot of these trained wrestlers play theirs. He actually deserves props compared to other celebs, he came in as a deliberate heel, took bumps, and sold them like he was dead.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

DING DING.....thats pretty much it. The fact is Judd was a dancer and opened a restraunt which was his dream. He never promoted himself above J-Lo or was wanting her career ala K-Fed.

K-Fed was an out of work dancer who had 2 kids with Shar Jackson and couldn't even support them. He was in a bar and met Spears who cleary was hurt by fact relationships with Colin Ferrell and Justin Timberlake had fallen , so she saw this guy and thought she could buy him.

Britney was losing her mind and self confidence past 2003 when she was booed off a stage at Rock in Rio , hint of drug abuse and her quickie wedding to an old HS bf. ( wierdly had she stayed with him odds are it would have been better P.R than the Federline disastor )

Federline was considered a loser with 2 kids who couldn't support his own ass and ran to Britney. He's futher cemented his asshole/scumbag rep. by wanting to get sole custody of the Spears kids so he can get better child support.

Ah so I finally understand what this thread title means. I always assumed it was just some rapper that I had never heard about but I heard on TV today that K-Fed is Kevin Fetherline (or Federline or I really couldn't be bothered to look it up because, frankly, who gives a crap). I just wanted to post about how much I HATE these dumbass cutesy nicknames they give to these dumbass celebrities. That is all.

I think its the fact that people see this guy as a scumbag, deadbeat dad who left his pregnet gf to run to a millionaire. That he's now trying to peddle his children to Spears for $ 10 million apiece so he won't release a sex tape .

In all he's pretty much living up to what everyone sees him as . A piece of trash as DDM puts it.

Chris Judd didn't think "Hey, I'm J.Lo's husband which means anything I touch turns to instant money for me" which is what probably went through Federline's mind.

He also didn't stop being a dancer or choreographer when they hooked up.

Federline just stopped being what brought him his dollars and Britney's attention. If Federline kept being a dancer or started a dance studio or something I think he would be seen as less of a gold digger.

Federline used Britney's work to get him somewhere.

Those are a bunch of assumptions, they may be accurate; but we have no way of knowing.

Yeah, but so? There are plenty of scumbag, deadbeat dads who've chased all kinds of wealthy bimbos. Why should he capture the hearts and minds of America?

Perhaps more to the point, why is this on the music board? Album sales talk (which still said nothing about the actual music) was abandoned a week ago.

I can't believe this is the most active thread on the board now.

So that guy down the street who just left his 2 kids is on E Enertainment and every talk show known to man ? Did that guy get a rich pop star and have his image transported all over the world as well ?

Federline's image was already bad when he hooked up with Spears and his actions following it sank him. He was almost like Danny Moder ( Julia Roberts hubby) but unlike Federline , Moder had a paying job and supported his family. Hell he left his wife for Roberts but I don't see Danny Moder persueing an acting career or directing films to leech off Julia Roberts image.

Perhaps more to the point, why is this on the music board? Album sales talk (which still said nothing about the actual music) was abandoned a week ago.

Which shows how bad his flop is. He was booed out of the Teen Choice Awards and that should have been a warning of how bad it would flop. Now its said that Britney herself bought 2,000 albums I believe to give away to friends and all .

I can't believe this is the most active thread on the board now.

He married a once popular pop star and sank her career. You'd be suprised at how many people are laughing their asses off. I know I am at Britney .

And no one's even mentioning the fact that he once said that divorce was out of the question, that you had to stick it out 'till the end. Which might explain why he never married Shar Jackson after their first kid, and left her while she was pregnant with his second. Y'know, 'cuz he wasn't tied down by marriage.

And now that he's been curbed by Britney (no prize herself), he has shown little to no stress over it, no indication of sticking it out untill the end. In fact it has been widely reported that he is trying to womanise any ho with the bad enough judgement to let him near her pants.

There are certainties in this life, and one is that Kevin Federline is a waste of greasy skin, K-FedEx, may you suddenly encounter a Mack truck.

Britney Spears is still popular, if she wasn't you, me and others on this thread wouldn't be talking about her and her life. Granted she doesn't have the rep. she used too because of K-Fed but she still has a large fan base and will still sell a few million albums.

And Federline did not sank her career, that is bs. Her last two albums before she hooked up with him didn't sale as much as they should(business wise, I don't like her music) have, she can't act so her doing no more movies is a good thing, and she already had said she wanted to be a young mother which she became so I don't see how anyone can use that against her.

Federline just screw up her image but she is also to blame for that as well since she know he was still with someone else and already had kids. She know what she was getting herself into so others shouldn't feel sorry for her given the fact she is a grown woman and made those choices.

Her albums have steadily fallen in sales. She could handle that. But her final album of remixes sank like the titanic as it only sold over 100,000 copies.

And Federline did not sank her career, that is bs. Her last two albums before she hooked up with him didn't sale as much as they should(business wise, I don't like her music) have, she can't act so her doing no more movies is a good thing, and she already had said she wanted to be a young mother which she became so I don't see how anyone can use that against her.

Her bizzaro behavior pretty much kicked things to high gear. 1st her reactions overseas when booed by fans at Lisbon where she gave them the finger. Then hints of drug abuse as well as her drunken wedding stupor to an ex HS BF. Cleary K-Fed was the icing on the already fucked up Britney Spears wagon.

The moment she hooked up with the outta work greaser who had 2 kids with another woman , the PR was a disastor. Many claimed Spears was on the free fall of a career and the moment her last album arrivd you saw the THUD as fans left.

People could deal with Spears wanting to be a mother. Her fans would have likd that. But after watching Spears self destruct for months leading up to Federline the fanbase gave up. He was the final straw. Spears had turned her very fans against her and many thought she was a moron .

Federline just screw up her image but she is also to blame for that as well since she know he was still with someone else and already had kids. She know what she was getting herself into so others shouldn't feel sorry for her given the fact she is a grown woman and made those choices.

Spears gets blame for it a lot. Theres people doubting whethor she can rebound from the bad awful press she has taken for the last 2 years. She caused a lot of it and now she has to beg and get her fans back and not look like a fool along the way.

ummmm who bought his CD? I'd rather go kick puppies in the face then waste 13 dollars on his CD.

I don't know anything about Federline, but I know I'm sick of hearing about his ass

Before he asked Toronto paparazzi to buy him sneakers and after he shopped for underwear at Wal-Mart, Kevin Federline gave the world a window into his soul. On November 8, the day after Britney Spears filed for divorce from him, Kevin scribbled a note on his dressing room's shower door at Chicago's House of Blues.

"Today I'm a free man/ Ladies look out," it read, followed by FedEx's signature. As if written as an afterthought, Kevin added, "F--k a wife/Give me my kids/B-tch!" Such are the repercussions of writing in permanent marker. He would sound less vile if he wrote, "I know what ya'll did last summer" in blood.

Chicago is shaping up to be ground zero for all things K-Fed. The Chicago Sun Times reported on Thursday, November 16, that the 28-year-old wanted to resolve the divorce quickly to get cash flowing back into his back account. As for rumours of a sex tape, the source who spoke to the newspaper says we have a better chance of seeing the Loch Ness Monster.

"If there is a tape, its release won't help anyone involved," the source says. "Especially Kevin." The report goes on to say that Kevin is due for a healthy payday when the divorce is finalized. "Remember, he is the father of Britney's two children," the source says. Negotiations could be complicated by Kevin spouting sour grapes about his ex. At a Virginia Beach concert, Kevin reportedly flipped the finger and shouted, "F--k Britney."

Meanwhile, the pop princess has been laying low with her family in Louisiana. She's been looking into putting her Malibu mansion on the market for $13.5 million according to the website TMZ. Gossip website Perez Hilton reports that Britney has made reservations at the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where they just happen to have a full recording studio. Sing through the pain, Britney, or breathe heavily into the microphone, or, you know, whatever you do in there.
Why arn't you just the charmer, Fed-Ex? He's a c-word.


Oh yeah, I went there.
