KEVIN FEDERLINE






Born in the Fresno area, Kevin knew he wanted more than a small rural town. He packed his bags and tried his hand at the entertainment industry. He got gigs as a back-up dancer, and had two children with "Moesha" star Shar Jackson. Things between Shar and Kevin didn't work out, and before his second child was born, he started dating pop queen Britney Spears. Criticized for being a "dead-beat dad," Kevin didn't let the tabloids get to him. He and Britney married, and have two boys together.Kevin's first rap album, released in Fall 2006, was widely criticized, but he is succeeding in the entertainment biz, despite it. He recently starred in an insurance commercial during the 2007 Super Bowl. Other projects include his own search engine, "Search With Kevin." He has been seeing his children with Shar more regularly, and he has a job, working as a dance instructor. In November 2006, Britney filed for divorce from Kevin. As of March 2007, their divorce has been finalized, and they have agreed to joint-custody of their children.

Early life
Federline was born to parents Mike, a car mechanic, and Julie, a former bank teller from Oregon; the name "Federline" is of German origin. Federline has one brother, Chris. His parents divorced when he was eight years old. When Federline was eleven, he and Chris moved back to his father's Fresno house. Federline dropped out of high school in the ninth grade and soon started dancing with a non-profit organization called Dance Empowerment. Federline later earned a GED.
Career

Back-up dancer
Federline was a back-up dancer for a number of years for Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Christina Milian, and LFO.

Rapper
Federline initially released two singles, "Y'all Ain't Ready" and "PopoZão" shortly after his marriage to Spears. Following poor critical reaction, neither song was included on his debut album. Instead, the first official single was "Lose Control", which he premiered on the Teen Choice Awards show on the Fox network in late summer 2006. He released his debut album, Playing with Fire, on October 31, 2006 which became one of the worst received albums in recent music history, receiving the lowest score in an overwhelming majority of reviews as well as lackluster sales.
Model
Federline has been signed to model for the Five Star Vintage line by the San Francisco-based Blue Marlin clothing company. The initial series of ads ran in August 2006, and was subsequently extended for Holiday 2006. The line he modeled for the Fall 2006 was the top selling line in Macy's, Kitson in Los Angeles and Lord & Taylor.
