Kevin Federline Cleans Up

US reports that Item Magazine recently convinced America's Most Hated to suit up. (Via Pop Candy):

K-Fed also lets us inside his brain:

On his kids: "It's completely unfair when a child is brought into this world an now he's already looked at like a prince. My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don't have it easy with me. Period....My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit."

On his image: "I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it's, 'How's the wife and kids?' Not that I mind; that's my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears' husband, that's the day I am looking forward to."

The day Kevin works at Taco Bell, that's the day I am looking forward to.

Striped shirt AND striped tie, everybody knows that's a no-no.

I dig stripes on stripes, just not when it has to do with K-Fed.

How does he plan on becoming a CEO by the way???

He looks like a guy my brother used to play hockey with in high school. I now find him disturbingly cute. I used to love to hate the manpris!

He looks so damn good! It's like a Kevin Federline just stepped out of a dimension that was the complete opposite of our own.

Never underestimate the power of a nice suit. If K.Fed. doesn't open his mouth, he can run for president in the next election (probably in the Rep. party).

You guys all think he looks hot??? I see George Bush 30 years ago having just bought his first suit saying "Ya, I'm gonna be president someday".

The day K-Fed and that Dashboard Confessional douche (thanks for ruining "In A Big Country" by the way, Carabba) works at Taco Bell together, that's the day I will be looking forward to.

Wow, lay off for a second. You have to admit, that's pretty grounded of him to feel that way about his kids, they have a MUCH better chance of turning out normal that way. Yes, Popazao or whatever it was was terrible, but there's nothing to ridicule in this article/picture.

Kevin should set higher standards for his kids. Under his tutelage, they could probably end up working at Chipotle.

Maybe K-Fed should send his kids to school rather than Taco Bell. They'll turn up more normal that way.

Why do people feel such a need to hate on him? I'm certainly no fan but I reckon it's good that he wants to keep his children humble, actually. From what he says here he doesn't actually sound like a bad guy, like everybody seems to think...ah well. Maybe I'm just thinking positively because he actually cleaned up somewhat nicely...amazing what a suit, razor, and comb can do.

He looks like Keanu Reeves now.

How comes he wants his children to work, but he lives on Britney's allowance???

He starts hosting The Price Is Right and Family Feud after he finishes touring for his upcoming album.

Matt Lauer said this morning with the fellas from BWE that he looked like he was ready for Antiques Roadshow. Must be the candy stripes.

Ok the fingernails thing is totally creeping me out. I take back the comment about him being hot. Now I'm thinking about his toenails - they are probably in worse shape.

He looks like a closeted weatherman for a UPN station in Missouri, or something. Just when you thought K-Sped couldn't get any grosser...oy. Utterly douchetastic.

Give him a week and he will be back to what he really is. I still don't see how this promotes a "rap" album.

They must've really cleaned him up, coz his forehead's so shiny. When they cleaned him up, they must've cleaned out the quote too. I think the original quote was:

"Daym y'all friggin' losers, I kno am rich rayt now look at me, I look like a CE wut? Yeah CEO. But really I'm hella ghetto so ya better respect my ghetto rap. Want me to prove it to y'all? I'll have my kids work at Taco Bell coz they're hella ghetto too. So I best gets mah respects! Peyce out!"
