As his ex-wife continues her campaign to reclaim her good name though online manifestoes that rationalize the neglect of her children and years of generally idiotic behavior with a combination of untreated ADD and a manager with sinister motives, Kevin Federline quite impressively manages to remain laser-focused on his life's goal: forging an independent and enduring show business career entirely built around his multiple non-talents. For example, he cleverly maximized the thousands of hours he clocked behind the velvet ropes of Las Vegas's better drinking establishments by convincing Wilmer Valderrama to collaborate on his sophomore record release. And while his acting career appeared to have stalled after one underwhelming guest appearance on CSI and the Method channeling of a fry cook for a Super Bowl insurance commercial, reports have now surfaced that K-Fed will soon be acting opposite an Academy Award-winner, plus one of Hollywood's most legendary monosyllabic leading men, in a major motion picture:

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline is embarking on a movie career after landing a part in Keanu Reeves' new film.

The dancer/rapper will play a "small but notable" role in the thriller Night Watch, opposite Reeves and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, according to In Touch Weekly magazine.

While the movie's IMDb logline ("A veteran LAPD cop [Reeves], who turned to the bottle after his wife's death, is framed by his former mentor [Whitaker] in the murder of a fellow officer.") offers few clues as to how Federline's pivotal character will figure into Watch's tautly woven game of cat and mouse, suffice it to say that the moment he makes his first appearance, peering at the camera through a rear-view mirror, his killer acting instincts should make his single line, "Here you are sir. Broadway and 49th—just like you asked!" one for the ages.
