Kevin Federline is trying to ban his wife, Britney Spears, from using hunky male dancers in her new video. Kevin, who was once Britney’s own back-up dancer, “insisted that Britney fire Matt and all of the other male dancers she’d hired and replace them with females”, according to an insider. “He’s surprisingly insecure and secretly terrified” that the `Toxic’ singer will dump him if her career takes off again, the source adds. “Kevin doesn’t want Britney to be making sexy moves again. He’s even telling her she doesn’t need to lose all of her pregnancy weight.” However, Britney was spotted out on a shopping spree last week, celebrating her recent weight loss. The 24-year-old has trimmed off 12kg in the past five weeks since giving birth to son Sutton Pierce. In her celebratory shopping trip, she snapped up 45 pieces for her new svelte frame. A pal says, “She is not treating herself with food and desserts any more.” [20 october 2006]
