Breaking News: K-Fed sucked at Teen Choice Awards


Here's what Yahoo News said:

Kevin Federline's TV debut as a rapper is getting derided as a not-ready-for-prime-time disaster by critics in cyberspace and the hip-hop community. On Sunday, Federline — also known as K-Fed and Mr. Britney Spears— performed his new single "Lose Control" to the peppy crowd at the eighth annual Teen Choice Awards, which aired on Fox. Introduced by his wife, who was dressed in a cleavage-baring mini-dress despite her late pregnancy, Federline stalked about the stage with attitude as he rapped about his bling, popping Cristal (obviously oblivious to the whole hip-hop Cristal boycott) and his amazing rhyming skills. "Don't hate because I'm a superstar! And I'm married to a superstar! Nothin' come between us no matter who you are!" he declared, as dancers pop-locked as his side. It was the most anticipated performance of the night — and the most ridiculed. By morning, videos of it were splashed on Web sites like YouTube.com and various blogs, accompanied by catty comments mocking both Federline and his wife. If the Web world isn't exactly accepting of Federline's rap-star ambitions, the hip-hop community is even less so. Elliot Wilson, editor in chief of XXL magazine, hadn't seen Federline's TV debut. Still, he called it a "YouTube disaster" — something to be laughed off in hip-hop circles. "I just think we ignore him," Wilson told The Associated Press on Monday. "He's a joke, basically. ... I just don't think he gets it. He doesn't get that he's Britney's man and it's hard to take him seriously."


And according to A Socialite's Life, many stars including Nelly Furtado, Jessica Simpson, Dane Cook, Mischa Barton and Brandon Routh skipped the after party so they wouldn't have to say anything nice to Kevin. Wow, you know you sucked when even shallow celebrities don't want to be fake to your face. Ouch, Kevin. Ouch.
