Kevin Federline’s Throat Slashed
Mon, 05 February 2007

Kevin Federline had his throat slashed for a photoshoot by celebrity photographer Steven Klein for the “Face of Fashion” exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery (opening Feb. 15).

Says Steven Klein on K-Fed: “To me, a portrait is a representation of a person and a slash across a throat is the equivalent of a brushstroke. It’s like a classical painting. The slash, the make-up, is a mask that reveals who the person is. For me, the break in the skin shows that all portraits are lies. To see through the skin is to see someone’s reality.”

Says Steven Klein on Brad Pitt (of his W photoshoot with Angelina Jolie): “He doesn’t just stand in the corner. He starts playing, acting. The shots of him and Angelinawere based on an idea he had. He was inspired by the portraits of old-style families in Life magazine. It’s meant to be set around the time of John Kennedy’s assassination and the sudden sense of fracture there was then. There’s an ambiguity to the shots, it’s up to the viewer to read them. But I don’t like quiet, romantic pictures. I like confronting taboos, playing with popular culture. I don’t overanalyze or overconceive what I do.”

Check out these two promos of none other than Kevin Federline from his two upcoming Superbowl ads.

The soon to be ex-husband of Britney Spears is cooking himself another scandal. This time the controversy is over a Superbowl ad for an insurance company in which he plays a fast-food restaurant worker who dreams of the good life.

It may seem innocent enough, but not to the National Restaurant Association, which charged that the ad “give[s] the impression that working in a restaurant is a demeaning and unpleasant” task and stands as a “direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry.”

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. however claimed that the commercial was just a good example of its campaign based on the idea of “Life Comes At You Fast.”

“No one has personified ‘Life Comes at You Fast’ in the media better than Kevin Federline,” a Nationwide spokesman said. “”We’re not making fun of anybody, except maybe Kevin Federline. He’s poking fun at himself.”
