K-Fed Needs Money

Why doesn't he just hang tight until he can siphon Britney's child support payments for himself? Because you know he's getting custody. Kevin Federline is asking the tabloids for 25K for "exclusive" coverage of his birthday party . There's going to be a red carpet and everything. Who's going? Shar Jackson? Sylvia Miles?

Insiders told us Federline has been asking the weeklies for $25,000 in exchange for "exclusive" rights to cover his 29th birthday at Eleven nightclub in West Hollywood. "The celebrity magazine will get its logo on the red carpet and exclusive coverage inside the club," said our snitch. "But who cares? Everyone will have access to the red carpet. And there aren't even any big celebs confirmed for inside the party." Sources also told us that whichever rag coughs up the cash "won't even get a real interview with K-Fed." The Eleven club sent out a press release announcing the "intimate cocktail and dinner party with celebrity friends" on March 21. A rep for Federline confirmed the party, but had no comment on the details.

There aren't any big celebs confirmed because there won't be any. Corey Feldman? Seriously, he was doing well - laying low, actually looking halfway respectable. Joanie Lauer? He almost looked presentable and stable. Deelishis? Now he's starting to get cocky, and it's gonna backfire on his ass. The Naked Cowboy?
