The birth of Britney’s baby has been all the rage in the news recently. And with all the attention, Britney’s baby’s daddy is trying to ride the wave to stardom. Kevin Federline, Britney’s husband, has just recorded an album which isn’t quite killer but just may make you want to kill yourself if you’re ever forced to listen to it. Even Britney says the album is bad. Maybe she’ll come clean in her next hit song, “Oops, I married a sham!”
Listen here as John and I talk about the bum and his album.
Dialog
1. Listen and Read - Listen to the audio and read the dialog at the same time.
2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
John: Didn’t Kevin Federline come out with a new cd recently?
Dave: Yeah, he just finished recording it. Britney doesn’t think it’s very good.
John: Britney is his wife, right?
Dave: Yeah, they just had the baby together. I think it’s his, like, fourth or fifth kid.
John: And maybe three different mothers, or something.
Dave: Yeah, yeah. He’s sowing his oats, you know.
John: He seems like a pretty classy guy. Kind of a gigolo, huh?
Dave: Yeah, I guess he is a gigolo. But he’s, I’ve heard, I saw him speak on, like, VH1 or MTV the other day and he just seems really, really mindless.
John: Really? Kind of a hillbilly type of guy?
Dave: Kind of. Well, there’s a tv show that keeps poking fun at him, um, comparing him to the character Cletus on The Simpsons.
John: Oh, that’s funny. I haven’t seen that.
Dave: Yeah, so.
John: Well, Britney’s from the south, too. She kind of has that rough edge about her. You know, he’s actually from Oregon. Did you know that?
Dave: Oh, he is?
John: Yeah. A small town in eastern Oregon.
Dave: Oh, boy. I wouldn’t go telling people that.
John: No, we’re not too proud of that here.

Discussion
Just six weeks after the birth of his child, Kevin Federline was out partying instead of taking care of his wife and son. Britney was not too happy. She packed up some things, bundled up the baby and left. What’s in store for the odd couple? More children? Divorce? Marriage therapy? Who knows?!
What do you think?
