K-Fed makes being K-Fed look easy - which just might be the secret to the dude's weird appeal. While everyone else dreams of marrying Britney Spears and becoming the most notorious white rapper since Eminem, Federline just went and did it - no big deal. We ignored the outrage and disses, and tried to unearth something interesting about the man some people love to hate. Turns out he's a lot like everybody else-if everybody else could drop $1600 on a pair of Nikes.

Name: Kevin Earl Federline. I was almost born on my grandpa's birthday, so he wanted me to have his name. But his first name is Stanley. My dad said, "Hell, no!" They wound up passing on his middle name, Earl, to me.

Born: March 21, 1978 in Fresno, Calif.

First memory: Breaking my arm when I was two.

Biggest thrill as a child: Going to Disneyland. I used to be afraid to ride roller-coasters. I finally took the plunge when I was a teenager.

Did you sit at the back or front of the class? The back. I didn't like school too much.

First record bought: Digital Underground's Sex Packets. I was close to the Bay Area so I got them.

First gig attended: Digital Underground with The Pharcyde. They always used to come out to the colleges. I saw Cypress Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees. Busta Rhymes really knew how to get people involved in what he was talking about. He might not be doing too much-a little two step here, a two step here-but he knows to get people hyped up.

First date: It was with a girl called Felicia. I had dinner set up at my house. We did that and then went to the movies. We had to get a ride from my parents. We sat in the back seat, getting chauffeured. I can't remember the movie. I was 13-I wasn't concentrating. I had started growing!

First porn mag: We moved to Nevada for a time. When I was eight, me and my brother found a boxcar in the middle of a desert, with no railroad tracks or anything around it. We go in there and there are stacks and stacks of Playboys and Hustlers. It was crazy. Did I get it? Oh yeah. I got it when I was like six or seven.

Last book read: Russell Simmons' Life and Def: Sex, Drugs, Money + God. I read it to get a good business sense and learn how Def Jam was built. The key to his success was a lot of hard work. He did something that he believed in, kept at it, and it paid off eventually.

Last movie seen: Some chick flick on the plane ... The Devil Wears Prada. I'm afraid to fly so I don't get to sleep on planes too much.

Favorite sandwich: Turkey, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes on straight-up Wonder Bread. Some potato chips in there, too.

Favorite item of clothing: My shoes, man. I'm a kick fanatic. I'm always on eBay. I have one called the Japanese Flower. It's like a laser-etched shoe with paint bombs. I got some Nike Pigeons when I was out here in New York a few months ago, but I'm scared to wear them. I heard people have got cut up over that shoe. It's crazy. You pay $1600 for a pair of Nikes and some of them go for $3000 right now.

Previous jobs: I worked at a carwash and a pizza place. But when I first came to L.A., it wasn't very long before I started getting jobs as a dancer. I was there for two weeks before I wound up going on tour.

Favorite time of day: You'd think from the album that I'm a three in the morning kind of guy. But I mostly talk about stuff from the past. My party side was really before my wife. Now that I've got kids, I'd say morning time. The children wake up happy and ready to play.

Hanging on my bedroom wall: A bunch of feminine sh*t. My biggest thing is my closet. I got a closet like the size of this room here with shoes all the way around. It's like walking into Fight Club.

Ideal vacation: Fiji, Hawaii, the Caribbean. I'm down with anything like that. It's always fun to go places that you haven't been and see what it's like. If there's warm water, a beach, and all that good stuff, I'm there.

Hobbies: I golf. I'm shooting in the low 90s, high 80s. I haven't really calculated my handicap yet. I got a couple hundred scorecards. I'm going to have to go put it in the computer and see what my handicap is.

Favorite Madonna record: [blows a raspberry sound] Don't have one.

Swear word you use too much: F*ck. I used it 20 minutes ago when someone came into the room and woke me up. I use foul language, but never around the kids. It is what it is. It's part of the topic.

Ambitions: Continuing what I'm doing. I'm very driven by it right now. I'm really ambitious but raising my kids is more important than anything else I'm doing right now.

If I could be any character from history: King Tut. I like the old hieroglyphs and stuff. Their lifestyle is very similar how a superstar would live now. Women back then were hot, and you'd get bathed and catered to and all that by more than one. Would it be weird watching them build the pyramid I'd be buried in? No. That's a historical movement right there. It's huge, it'll never go away.
