Kevin Did Not Find Out About Divorce Directly From Brit

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Showing an admirable dedication to making sure that every possible angle in the Britney Spears divorce story is covered, Extra trekked all the way to the hinterlands of Fresno to interview–and we really hate to use the expression ‘we shit you not,’ but we really, really shit you not–the guy who owns the background dancing studio where the Artist Who Would One Day Be Known As K-Fed honed the Roger Rabbit and Running Man skills that would later propel him to international, pop-star-impregnating fame.

Johnson confirms that Federline did not find out about the divorce from Britney. (Fresno - November 8, 2006) - ‘Extra’s’ Jerry Penacoli spoke exclusively to Kevin Federline’s friend, Ralph Johnson. Johnson owns the studio in Fresno where Federline danced. Johnson declared, ‘He’s [Federline] doing like anyone else in these situations.’

Johnson spoke to Federline very recently and tells ‘Extra’ that he ‘wasn’t even in LA when it happened.’ He revealed that Federline ‘didn’t hear [about] it from his wife.’

Johnson declared, ‘Kevin’s very focused on his album and his singing career…that’s pretty much what he is trying to keep his focus on.’

On Federline’s bad rap since marrying Spears, Johnson said, ‘He has tremendous respect for his wife, but he also has respect for his career…whether he makes it or doesn’t make it is up to him. He’s a good person…I don’t know anything negative about him.’

Johnson believes that Federline’s career can survive a divorce, he stated, ‘I think he’ll have no problem at all.’

Britney & K-Fed’s Pre-Nup Details

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

It’s nearly impossible to see straight, what with our hyperventilating this past hour, regarding the divorce of American royalty Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. But nearly minutes after the initial announcement, details are already emerging over their pre-nuptual agreement. Pre-marriage, K-Fed was dancing his way to $30,000 a year. Post marriage? Even his cornrows are crying. From an Us Magazine article from December 2005, the details of their pre-nup:

-K-Fed won’t touch a penny of Britney’s money. All the millions belonging to Britney will stay that way.

-The mansion will be divided 50/50.

-Any gift given worth over $10,000 will go back to the original purchaser. This includes a custom-built motorcycle Brit gave K-Fed for Christmas 2 years ago.

-She will still support him for a little while longer. Brit will pay Kevin $30,000 a month for the period of time that is half the length of their marriage. Meaning he’ll be well sneakered until at least a year from now.

-Spears won’t pay child support. Federline is still responsible for supporting his other two children with previous baby momma Shar Jackson. Luckily, Britney should be able to put food on the table for at least another 200,000 more years.

Britney Spears Files For Divorce

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline, PEOPLE has confirmed.

L.A. Superior Court spokesperson Pat Kelly tells PEOPLE, “Yes, it’s confirmed. It was filed today, on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.” TMZ.com was the first to report the filing.

Spears and Federline wed in September 2004 and have two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, who was born Sept. 12.

According legal documents filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Spears seeks custody of both boys, with Federline getting visitation rights.

Spears gives a separation date of Monday. She asks that each party pay their own legal fees and waives her right to spousal support. She also requests that certain assets, including “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects,” be confirmed as separate property.

She and Federline, 28, both spent the weekend in New York City, but Spears did not appear at any of the events promoting Federline’s new CD, Playing with Fire.

Still, on Friday night at his record release party at the Manhattan hot spot Stereo, Federline shot down rumors of strife in his marriage, telling PEOPLE, “I don’t waste any energy thinking about these things. I don’t get caught up in it.”

But the previous week, he admitted that, because of his touring schedule, “I’m not going to see my family as much as I want to, but I mean, those are the sacrifices you make as an artist.”
