Kevin Federline to farm his kids out

Oct 31, 2006, 12:20 GMT

Kevin Federline will quit fame to live on a farm - to save his children from the same fate as wife Britney Spears.

The aspiring rapper's superstar spouse shot to fame as a child star on 'Disney's Mickey Mouse Club' TV show alongside future boyfriend Justin Timberlake and future rival Christina Aguilera.

But Kevin insists he does not want their two sons to grow up in the spotlight.

He said: "Showbusiness is no place for kids. Even though my wife did it, and it turned out OK for her. Actually, it turned out a lot better than OK. And if that means I take my family out of Los Angeles to grow up on a farm, then that's what I've got to do."

The 28-year-old former backing dancer releases his debut album 'Playing With Fire' today (31.10.06) but his attempts to launch his rap career have so far been met with distain and criticism.

His debut performance at the Teen Choice Awards was mocked and tickets to his forthcoming tour are not selling.

The tour kicks of at Webster Hall in New York this Saturday (04.10.06), however, sources from the venue have said: "We may just cancel it. New Yorkers are clearly not fans."

Kevin also refused to confirm whether his second son with Britney was called Sutton Pierce or Jayden James, but insisted he is keen to release a picture of the baby so his family can join him on tour, without trying to dodge the paparazzi.

He said: "If my wife wants to have that baby all to herself for now, then she can, because there's not much she has to herself, not even her own children."
