Kevin Federline, as much as we’ve all been trying not to say it, has turned out to be a better guy than we initially gave him credit for. At first I thought he was just trying to marry Britney because she’s rich and she loved him madly (I still think that was the case) and then he planned to jump ship after the kids, knowing how much money he could get that way. But I think he didn’t get a chance to play out the second part of his trick because Britney ended up being far different than he had planned. Crazy, to be exact. And now Kevin Federline had a reality show on the E! network but he’s decided to put that off.. because of Britney! Man, when everyone else in her life is taking advantage of her, it’s nice to finally see someone who won’t add to the damage (anymore, at least).

The E! show was set to document the life of single, working dad, K-Fed and his ever-expanding brood. The failed rap star has sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, with Spears. He also has a daughter Kori, 6, and a son Kaleb, 4, with actress Shar Jackson. “His plans are on hold because of the Britney situation. He had planned to do it, but not now,” a source close to the Federline camp told E!

I give K-Fed props for this because you know he probably doesn’t get very many job offers. And when he finally gets one–for a reality show that will probably boost his fame AND credibility–he decides to can it for legal matters. That’s a lot better than I expected out of him. I think I’m starting to look at him different. While I won’t forget that he was a scum bag in the beginning, I’ve got to say I sort of like him now.. What do you guys think?
