Kevin Federline Talks About Falling in Love with Britney

Kevin Federline didn't plan on falling love with Britney Spears when his ex-girlfriend, Shar Jackson, was pregnant with his child according to an interview with USA Today. It just happened that way.

One thing he did plan was having a family at a young age although he has outdone even his expectations. He says: "I knew for sure that I'd have one or two children by now. I didn't think I'd have four children, but I love being a young dad with a big family."

Federline has two children with Jackson, daughter Kori, 4, and son Kaleb, 2, and two children with Spears, Sean Preston, is 1, and their second son, Jayden James, was born Sept. 12.

He says Sean Preston is already "starting to take on the big brother role, and he's getting very protective. (He) wants to be around the baby all the time."

He says Britney is currently "recording three or four times a week, and she still manages to be with the kids a lot." He and his wife take on different parenting roles, he says: "She spoils them; I'm the enforcer."

When will they release photos of the newest addition, Jayden James? When Britney decides its time! "But if my wife wants to have that baby all to herself for now, then she keeps it, because there's not much she has to herself," he says, "not even her own children."

Cindy Margolis Poses in Playboy with a Purpose

Mom of three Cindy Margolis is making her debut in the December issue of Playboy. She may be the queen of internet downloads, but she has never appeared naked in print until now. She recently sat down with the Associated Press to disclose why now and what she sees as her bigger purpose. The following is an excerpt of the article:

AP: Why now?
Margolis: My decision to do Playboy is literally 20 years in the making. I've always prided myself in keeping my clothes on, being the girl next door. I've had the No. 1 downloaded (celebrity) Web site, and for years I've been known as the "Queen of the Internet" in the "Guinness Book of World Records," America Online, Yahoo!, (all while) keeping my clothes on, and I've been very proud of that. Every couple years when Mr. (Hugh) Hefner would call, I would very graciously decline, because my mom would kill me, and I thought it was more mysterious keeping my clothes on.

But, this year, when I got the call from Mr. Hefner, it was my 40th birthday. So I thought, "Wow -- at 40, they still want me?" And I thought it's almost an inspiration -- like a "you go, girl" moment. I feel empowered that you can be married and have three children and still be sexy and confident and look great.

My mom would have killed me before, but I'm an adult woman now, and I'm ready to show the world that you can have it all at 40 -- be fabulous, 40, and pose for Playboy.

AP: So, what was it like?

Margolis: I made my career off posing in swimsuits and doing all the swimsuit issues and posters, but I will tell you that that little bit of material on an itsy-bitsy bikini -- taking that off was very nerve-racking the first time. ... But I felt proud of myself. I worked out really hard, and the reason I wanted to do it the most is because I am posing for a purpose: a portion of the proceeds from each issue sold is going to go to my charity.

AP: That would be ...?

Margolis: I am the celebrity spokesperson for Resolve, the national infertility association, and my three precious children were born through infertility procedures. I struggled for many years trying to have children. My beautiful son was born through in vitro fertilization. I had my beautiful twins via a surrogate. So I wanted to give back.

That is very important to me, to make fertility mainstream so everyone understands it. If you want to have your miracle child, there are options: adoption, surrogacy, fertility procedures. It is also sadly very expensive, and not all insurance companies cover it.

AP: How does your posing add to the cause?

Margolis: First we're going to sell a certain amount, and then all the rest after that will go to Resolve. That was important to my husband, as well.

Shanna Moakler on Baby Weight and Her Divorce

Shanna Moakler answered some of her readers questions on her Myspace blog yesterday and posted an adorable photo of Alabama visiting her very first Halloween pumpkin patch. Many of the questions were about beauty products and modeling, but a couple may be of interest so here's an excerpt:

On losing the baby weight: "i dont and wish i had the answer for this, i have always said it takes 9 months getting there and 9 months getting back, i dont have a huge secret...my body holds on to that weight for a looooooooong time!! around 9 months it just kind of falls off, but i also do workout, i like power yoga that i listen to hip hop and cool music too...i was dancing alot and i think that helped!! we were dancing 3 hours a day!! for 8 weeks!! but the good old fashion weights and the eliptical is the "trick" i do yoga every other day and weights on the others....i cant lie divorce will make anyone lose weight...stretch marks..i have them...my best tip is to gain your weight slowly when your preggers, thats right ladies dont eat whole pies...i know u want to and im sorry u have to workout even when your throwing up....when i take pictures, they are airbrushed along with my c-scar..cause i got that too, and if a man loves me he will love all the flaws that come with me, so ladies dont beat yourself up about them...our babies are worth it...you can get them lazered..they dont make them go away but it helps....the joys of being a mother...."

On her divorce: "not something i ever thought i would experience, my parents have been married for 40 yrs, and that just wasnt in the cards for me, who cares, god has bigger and better things planned for all of us who go throu it, im not ashamed, i at least tried, i gave it my best...i was honest...i cry, i surround my self with my friends and family and i read the beautiful letters people send and remind myself that im a good person and i keep striving...i find it shocking how many people have wrote me with the same experience, and i feel for all of you to even thou i cant write back to everyone, no one deserves to be decieved and we dont have to punish ourselevs for growing apart from others, ive LEARNED and sometimes thats all i can take away is the fact i am worthy of standing on my own 2 feet and i dont need anyone not a man to define me. i can sit in bed and worry about what i did wrong but life marches on if i wanna participate or not, so for all of you who wrote and asked how do i do it...well i dont have a choice, i have children who need me and i got one shot in this life and i wanna live it....and i wanna be happy."

Brad Pitt Serves the Community

Brad Pitt does his share of community service on Monday. The architect fan spent time laying the building blocks for a house in Patan Village, India as part of a project for Habitat for Humanity.

I've added photos of Jimmy and Rossalyn Carter who were also working on the project.

On a personal note, my family and I help with at least one habitat home every year. I hightly recommend helping a family in your area. There is nothing as rewarding as helping someone attain something that many of us take for granted. My oldest son looks forward to the event every summer and he has become best friends with one of the children from one of the first homes we worked on.

Marcia Cross Wants Her Pictures Back

Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is in a dispute with a firm that was hired to remove trash from her LA home. Apparently some of the "trash" included more than 200 personal photographs of the actress in the trash, which the firm is now trying to sell them for profit.

The owner of the firm says the photos were not discovered until the company got to to the local dump. Some of the photos show Cross showering which were taken by her husband, Tom Mahoney.

"The pictures were not stolen," says Phoenix-based agent David Hans Schmidt who just happens to be the same gentleman that acquired the contents of Paris Hilton's storage locker last year. "When you throw something away, you forfeit that property.

"We recognize the copyright issue, but U.S. copyright law stops at the border," he adds indicating that he may be planning to sell the photos overseas.
