The British tabloid News of the World reported Federline is shopping around an explicit video of his antics with his wife on their honeymoon. The dumped husband, nicknamed Fed-ex, has been touting the four-hour tape for sale and a film company wants to make it available online to fans around the world. Allegedly he has already been offered $65 million.
One 'close pal' said: "This vid is dynamite and Kev knows it." Meanwhile, a 19-second video clip appearing on adult video-sharing website PornoTube is allegedly an excerpt from the honeymoon video. The footage was posted by a user identified only as "Stripper". The raunchy 19-second clip shows a woman with dark hair performing oral sex on a man rumoured to be her estranged husband Kevin Federline.
The newspaper also revealed that Britney slapped divorce papers on Federline - who had already been linked with prostitutes - after she caught him in a bedroom with another woman. The News of the World says that Federline's nights out in Las Vegas boozing, gambling and picking up prostitutes are the real cause of the marital breakdown. Unfortunately for K-Fed, the sixty page prenuptial agreement he signed gave away his rights to the massive fortune Spears has built on the backs of adolescent girls.
The paper's website quotes this "pal" of Federline as saying: "Britney didn't think twice about making the video at the time. She mistakenly believed that their love would last. They adored filming each other. They lived their lives in front of the cameras - even making a short-lived reality TV show of their exploits. Sex was no different to them, it seems. Now this video could prove very costly to her."
The "pal" says Federline is using the tape as leverage in their custody battle but that he is not above carrying out his threat.
"At the moment Kev is in talks with a company in Arizona about putting the four-hour sex vid online. If it all goes to plan he'll make [$65 million] from it," he said.
Clearly, Spears is worried that this will injure her reputation as a woman of upstanding morals. Right!
After you French-kiss Madonna on national television, you take shots of your naked husband while he’s taking a shower for television viewers, you interview your husband during a night-time bus ride while you’re naked, and you pose nude or lightly dressed for different mags, you can hardly expect to be hurt by a marital sex tape.
As you can remember, the pop princess lost the libel suit against Us Weekly magazine which she sued for allegedly 'making up' (now it's likely that they didn't) a story about a sexually explicit video tape she and her husband made. Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole said Spears has "put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye" and it would be unlikely for the magazine article to be found defamatory.
The magazine reported in October 2005 that the two "feared that an X-rated tape starring the two may go public" after a member of their entourage threatened to publish it, and as they watched it together with their lawyers Britney behaved “goofy” all along.
Spears’ lawyers claimed "The article is libelous on its face, since it maliciously and recklessly portrays [Spears] as acting 'goofy' while watching" the video with their attorneys, the lawsuit stated, adding that, because the sex tape in question didn't even exist in the first place, the item was "a despicable work of fiction comprised of blatant lies from beginning to end."
"There was no laughter, disgust or goofy behavior while watching the video in the company of lawyers because they did not watch any video, and because there is no such video," the lawsuit said.
"The issue is whether it is defamatory to state that a husband and wife taped themselves engaging in consensual sex," Cole wrote in the decision issued last week, and Britney had not brought the libel action for being “falsely accused of acting goofy.” "The backdrop against which this issue must be addressed is that the plaintiff has publicly portrayed herself in a sexual way in her performances, in published photographs and in a reality show, Chaotic."
Us Weekly hailed the decision, with a spokesman issuing a statement that "from the outset, we have stood by our reporting."
"Kevin is prepared to go the distance in order to do what he feels is necessary to protect and safeguard the children and will not be intimidated or dissuaded from pursuit of those goals," said Michael Sands, spokesman for Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Citing "irreconcilable differences," Spears filed for divorce Tuesday.
Spears, 24, married Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a 1-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son, Jayden James, who was born Sept. 12.
Spears married Federline eight months after ending a 55-hour Las Vegas marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander. Her second marriage provided endless fodder for tabloids, which speculated frequently that the union was in trouble.
