The Manly Cup

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Since it’s Father’s Day and all and since I made mention of this story yesterday, I guess it makes sense to post a short little follow up today … Privé nightclub in Las Vegas, NV felt it necessary to name Kevin Federline (father of four [by two different women], ex-hubby to Britney Spears and plain white rapper) as the Father of the Year for 2008. Yesterday I posted pics of The Federline as he walked the red carpet and today we have a pic of K-Fed posing with his two BHFs (best homies forever) with his Father of the Year trophy:


I understand that K-Fed’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was among the folks in his entourage rollin’ with the big dawg on Friday night. I also hear that even tho there was an Ed Hardy Intimates fashion show (featuring Miss Nevada Veronica Grabowsky) going on nearby his VIP table, K-Fed kept his eyes to himself and was on his best behavior. HMMM. For some reason, The Federline chose not to have his Father of the Year trophy awarded to him in front of the nightclub crowd (choosing instead to have the award ceremony happen backstage, privately … which I find odd since he agreed to accept the award in the first place — and from a nightclub). Nevertheless, Privé nightclub owner Justin Levine presented K-Fed with his trophy backstage … in what looks like a storage closet. Again, despite his past foibles, I’m cool with K-Fed getting a bit of props for his recent actions as a father. This trophy cup seems like the perfect representation of his accomplishments this past year.

K-Fed: Father Of The Year

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Privé nightclub in Las Vegas, NV hosted an evening with Kevin Federline last night where the daddy mack was on site to accept his award from the club as Father of the Year. In everything I’ve heard or read about this “award ceremony” there has been no mention of what criteria K-Fed met to win such an award nor have I come across anything that justifies a nightclub awarding this award to anyone in particular … but there you have it. Here are a few pics of Privé’s Father of the Year as he took to the red carpet last night:


Kevin Federling has been named Father of the Year by Las Vegas club Prive. “I’m surprised,” Federline said when asked how it felt to win the title. Britney’s ex, 30, hit up the club with eight male pals — including divorce attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan — just before 1 a.m. Saturday morning. Federline — also named a Power Player last year — had a quiet night at the club, chilling with friends and pumping his fist into the air when Timbaland’s “The Way I Are” was played by the DJ. Prive presented Federline his Father of the Year trophy “someplace quiet” at the dad-of-four’s request, so clubgoers didn’t see the ceremony, according to a source. He was gone by 3:15 a.m.

Now see … I don’t really have the same ire for the man that I used to back in the day when I thought he was a man-leech feeding off Britney Spears. I think that he has grown up a bit (especially since the divorce) and, from the way it seems from an outsider’s viewpoint, has become a relatively responsible father. He managed to keep his family together while his former wife Britney Spears was falling apart and took great pains to ensure that their children were shielded from her then dangerous actions. I think it says a lot that Britney’s parents, Mama Lynne and Papa Jamie Spears, sided with K-Fed while Brit was imploding and looked to Kevin to ensure that the kids were well cared for. If you take all of this stuff into consideration, I can see how K-Fed might be worthy of a Father of the Year title. In this respect, I feel it necessary to join in on the congratulations for The Federline. Now, if he would just ensure that he’ll never make rap music again, I’d happily give him an award of my own.
