Kevin Federline Archives

While Britney’s tear-filled interview with Matt Lauer may have been no day at the beach, her afternoon in Miami Thursday certainly was. Pregnant with her second child, the pop princess sported a bikini while frolicking in the ocean with hubby Kevin and son Sean Preston. After putting to rest rumors that her marriage was in trouble on last night’s "Dateline," the holiday seems to reinforce the fact that the Spears-Federlines are indeed a happy family. Even Sean Preston can’t hide his contentment as mommy and daddy dote all over him.

TMZ scored the cutest pictures of Britney, Kevin and Sean Preston on the beach.  Wow.  Cuteness overload!  Bigger pictures in the gallery!

Britney Spears, through her press representative, denied a report Friday that she was considering a Namibian birth for her next baby. "Not true," Spears‘ New York-based publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Zelnik did not immediately elaborate.

Earlier in the day, Deputy Environment and Tourism Minister Leon Jooste said officials had received an inquiry on behalf of the 24-year-old pop star, who has a 9-month-old son, Sean Preston, with husband Kevin Federline.

"She has shown interest to come over to Namibia," Jooste said by telephone from a conference in neighboring South Africa. "Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there is a definite possibility of that happening."

WOWOWOWOWOW.  Britney Experts posted new beach pictures of Britney Spears (five months pregnant) and her son Sean Preston from this past Tuesday.  Britney and Sean P. enjoyed some fun in the sun making sandcastles and seashell hunting at a local Malibu beach.  Adorable to the max.

"I think everybody should be pro-love," the 24-year-old singer said when asked about the media that appear to be hungry for signs of a split. Telling Lauer that her marriage of almost two years has been "awesome," Spears denied rumors that K-Fed has been banished to sleeping in the basement. "I think 90 percent of the world would agree that the tabloids have gone a little far with me… They’ve crossed the line a little bit," Spears said, referring to photographers who have snapped her on her private property. "They like to have the person they pick on. I feel like I’m a target…. You have babies at home. And… you have a life. And if you don’t, you have to realize that we’re people and that we… just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being.” 

But my favorite line of the interview is when Britney Spears addresses the incident of baby Sean Preston on her lap while driving: "I can’t go anywhere without someone judging me.  I did it with my dad. I’d sit on his lap and I drive. We’re country."  We’re country, ya’ll!!!!!!  Britney’s interview by Matt Lauer airs this Thursday on The Today Show (7:00 AM/ET) and Dateline (9:00 PM/ET) on NBC. You can watch two of the video previews below.  Bigger pictures in the gallery!

Britney Spears has yet another reason to be miffed at her hubby. Kevin Federline shelled out $300,000 for a wristwatch without telling his wife first, according to Us. Perhaps it’s no co-incidence that that’s the exact amount the aspiring rap star reportedly was paid to record an album and tour in Japan. “All he does is work on his music and try to find ways to get out,” a source told the mag. “That is all he cares about. It has taken a big toll on their marriage because he’s not always there for her and he used to be.”

What’s more, Spears suspects that K-Fed is responsible for some of the leaks to the tabloids about the couple’s private lives. “Britney knows Kevin tells his friends information, knowing they will leak it to tabloids,” a source close to Spears told Us. She has taken to not telling her hubby certain things — including that she was going to announce her pregnancy on David Letterman — for fear the info would be leaked to his buddies. “They sell stories for money. … She is sick of him using her for them to profit.”

Malibu, CA :: Britney carried Sean P. yesterday afternoon while walking alongside Perry, the bodyguard (doubling as the nanny!).  The 24-year-old singer has also been  recently spotted buying a book: Getting The Love You Want…. a self-help manual for abandoned young women!  Poor Britney! More pictures in the gallery!

On the public :: "I should just put a bulls-eye on my back. If I stay home and take care of my wife and my kids, then I’m a loafer, not a good father. If I try to have a career, nobody thinks I am caring for my family. I can’t win."

On rumors :: "You’ll never see that guy they say cheats or goes partying all the time. If I’m there and I’m out at a club, I am there for a reason. I am not there to mingle with women. All that shit is done to me. I did that when I was 21."

On his kids :: "It’s completely unfair when a child is brought into this world an now he’s already looked at like a prince. My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don’t have it easy with me. Period….My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit."

On his image :: "I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it’s, ‘How’s the wife and kids?’ Not that I mind; that’s my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears’ husband, that’s the day I am looking forward to."

On his media conspiracy theory :: "The same day Dick Cheney shoots someone, they’ve got me on the cover of MSN [Web site]. It’s life they’re diverting attention from what’s really going on."

Ask about the career, people!!  It’s about his CAREER!!! Kevin Federline, 28, is featured in the May 2006 issue of Item magazine, out June 5th. More pictures in the gallery!  Do you prefer clean-shaven K-fed of scruffy K-fed? Both? Or maybe neither?

24-year-old singer Britney Spears and 8-month-old son Sean Preston spent the day out in the Malibu sun this past Saturday.  Sean P. chewed on some green thing (hopefully harmless) to aid in the teething process.  Loving the nose picking in the bottom center picture!  Mmmm, boogies.  More pictures in the gallery!
