According to TMZ Britney’s ex is bucking to be a thin reality star. That’s right: Kevin Federline has signed up as an official cast member on the new season of Celebrity Fit Club.

He’s already on the set, though at this early stage there is no discernable difference in his overall body mass index.

K-Fed will reportedly join ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, Baywatch beauty Nicole Eggert and singer Bobby Brown for the latest VH1 installment.

Judging from Jon Gosselin’s expanding waistline, the reality star’s not spending much time at his upper West Side apartment building’s health club.

Kevin Federline’s passion for junk food (he was photographed double-fisting French fries on a recent trip to Paris) is evident in his ballooning belly.

The same goes for hefty Brendan Fraser, whose expanding waistline is a far cry from the star’s chiseled abs he sported in his earlier action-adventure films.

The three chunked-up fathers have something else in common: a marital split, which means they’re flying solo when not on daddy duty.

That can be a tough gig, so working out may not be a high priority for these guys. Instead, they’re likely to be eating poorly, not sleeping well at night and worrying about their kids.

“Men gain weight faster during a divorce than women,” says Dr. Eric Braverman, author of “The Younger Thinner You Diet.”

“Men tend to eat worse when they’re not living with someone, and they binge on carbs when their moods go down. Carbs and fat give them a temporary mood lift.”

Splitting up means a complete disruption of normal routines, which leads to erratic eating, says Sasha Pasulka, founder of the Evil Beet Gossip Web site.

“For Jon Gosselin, it’s a lot of partying,” she says. “He’s trying to make up for lost time. And Kevin Federline was a dancer before he married Britney, burning up hundreds of calories a day. With four kids, he probably doesn’t have that much time for dancing anymore. Also, he toured with Britney, and it’s easy to put on weight during a tour when you’re eating crap and spending hours on a bus when you could be exercising.”

All divorcing fathers must face the simple fact that the stress they are under causes the production of hormones that actually can result in weight gain, says performance coach Jenny Evans.

“When your system is stressed, it releases adrenaline and cortisol,” she explains. “These affect the appetite by stimulating the body to crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. So it is not just an emotional craving, but a physical one, too.”

With many divorcing dads not getting enough sleep, weight piles on. “People who don’t get enough sleep are hungrier,” Evans says.

There are other, subtler reasons for weight gain: the sudden withdrawal from the spotlight, says Pasulka.

“These guys, when they are in a relationship for several years, are conscientious about how they eat, and they work out,” she says. “But when they break up and try to go back to their old bachelor life, they find out that they’re not 25 anymore and their metabolism is not 25 either.”

So does that mean those piled-on pounds are here to stay? “The good news is that divorced dads can pull out of it and rebuild,” Braverman says. “They should eat a rainbow of colors, use spices like basil and cumin because these cut the appetite, and drink teas like green and oolong.”

And, he adds, once their finances are in better shape and they’re in a relationship, “men get back on track and lose weight.”
Looks like it might be time to get off the tour bus and on the treadmill.

Kevin Federline turned heads at a California sporting event Monday.

But it wasn’t over his golfing skills; it was over his size.

At one point at Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Classic, an employee on the grounds saw Federline and remarked, “Man, that’s a belly on him! That’s K-Fed?!?”

While other celebrities like Verne Troyer, Frankie Delgado and Josh Henderson participated in competitive activities, Federline, 31, spent some time with girlfriend Victoria Prince sitting on a shaded patio sipping vodka and orange juice cocktails and smoking cigarettes.

Federline underwent scrutiny after packing on major pounds last spring.

His ex Shar Jackson laughed off criticism.

“It’s daddy weight!” she said at the time. “When you are a full time parent, sometimes you can’t focus on you. If gaining a few pounds is your only problem, life’s not too bad!”

According to Star magazine, the couple have rekindled their “once red-hot sex life” with various trysts around town.

From hotel suites, to dressing rooms to backstage on Britney’s ‘Circus’ tour, the former couple has been hooking up whenever they feel the urge.

“It’s like they’re newlyweds all over again,” a family insider told Star. “Brit and Kevin can’t keep their hands off each other! The flings have made them both a lot happier.”

That may be so for them, but Federline’s girlfriend, ex-volleyball star Victoria Prince, is hardly thrilled. According to Star’s report, Prince busted Britney and Kevin in the act.

Ouch.

Britney Spears must’ve gotten ex-hubby Kevin Federline hooked on Southern cooking.

K-Fed chowed down at an early birthday dinner at Brother Jimmy’s in Murray Hill Wednesday night, with his new girlfriend, Victoria Price, his dad Mike, pal DJ Reach and … (ready for this?) Taye Diggs and Kourtney Kardashian. Yes, our mouths dropped open, too.

The motley crew noshed on hot wings, Patrón shots and fishbowls of Swamp Water. The latter is a mixture of alcohol and juices that is served in a fishbowl with many straws.

The clan then headed over to eco-friendly club Greenhouse to catch Reach on the turntables. There, Federline the aspiring rapper (is that label still applicable) and Price were “dancing very provocatively.

They were kissing and touching each other excessively,” our spy shared.

K-Fed and his posse downed whisky and tequila shots, and his pops stuck to beer. Sounds like a menu for a true K-Fed celebration.

Ever since Britney Spears’ big breakdown, her ex-husband Kevin Federline has been approached by nearly every publication in the celebrity business about telling his side of the story.

He’s kept mum until this week’s big exclusive with People magazine, which has many wondering: Why did he start talking now?

There are two schools of thought on the subject. The more cynical comes from a former associate of Federline’s: “He doesn’t do anything unless there is a financial motive behind it, period. There’s a fee connected to everything he does. He gets a substantial amount of money from Britney, yes, but he wants to make his own money too, and he knows that he’s sitting on a gold mine when it comes to the ‘real’ story of Britney.”

The other take is that Federline is just giving the people what they want. “He’s been hounded for more than a year about telling his side of things,” says another source. “He’s just tossing a little out there in a place he trusts so that he can move on. He didn’t betray her in the interview, he did what he felt was the right thing to do given the circumstances.”

A day after Britney Spears celebrated her 27th birthday and the release of what should be her next #1 album her ex Kevin Federline opend up to People.

Do you remember when you first met Britney?
I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the press and everything was.What are your happiest memories of the marriage?
Well, getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing it without question.

What went wrong?
It’s hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I’d become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important … I mean, we were having complications. I didn’t give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn’t even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.

A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money.
My first question to [my lawyer] was, “Am I ever going to be able to see my children?” I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.

How did you react in January when Britney locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a gurney?
That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

Are things getting better?
Oh, man, it’s totally turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There’s structure over there, there’s structure at my house. We’re trying to keep the same type of schedule. It doesn’t have to be completely perfect, but the foundation is there. 

I wonder what made him open up now? At least he didn’t rip her a new one, which is good of him because he could have gone the other way. People promises so much more in their interview with him in the magazine that is on stands this week.

Yes, today marks the release of Circus, as well as Britney’s highly anticipated GMA performance. But let us not forget that today is Britney’s 27th birthday, so before all the craziness kicks off, we’d like to take a moment to wish my girl a very, VERY happy birthday.
