Cheap tix for tonight’s Kevin Federline show

By Terry Armour, The Chicago Tribune

Apparently, Britney Spears isn’t the only one fed up with K-Fed.

Ticket sales for Kevin Federline’s show tonight at the House of Blues are so slow, the venue is now giving them away—with a $2.25 convenience charge.

On Tuesday, Spears announced she had filed for divorce from the wannabe rapper in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Federline is scheduled to take the stage barely 24 hours after the Spears filing became public. Spears cited the familiar “irreconcilable differences,” according to court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts.

The Tribune has learned that various tabloid magazines and TV crews, including Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight, already have contacted the concert venue to secure media credentials for the show.

Federline was scheduled to arrive in Chicago this morning.

According to the divorce papers, Spears, who previously had a 55-hour Las Vegas marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, is requesting custody of the couple’s children—Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James Federline, born Sept. 12—with visitation rights for Federline.

And as if it couldn’t get any stranger, one tabloid is reporting that Spears, 24, and Federline, 28, weren’t even married on Sept. 18, 2004, but on Oct. 6.

The filing came just a day after Spears made a surprise appearance on David Letterman’s “Late Show,” showing that she was back in shape after giving birth to her second child.
