"I am always there for Britney"- says ex-hubby K-Fed

(Courtesy: ANI)
Washington (ANI): There have been many upheavals in their lives, but Britney Spears' ex-hubby Kevin Federline insists that he will always " be there" for her. The dancer cum rapper has said that the 26-year-old pop star will always be important to him as she is the mother of his children, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 18 months.In fact, K-Fed was all praise for his ex-girlfriend, Shar Jackson, who is mother to his two other children - Kori Madison, six, and Kaleb Michael Jackson, four."I will always love the mothers of my children, and I will always be there for both of them. I believe that any good energy I put out there brings more good energy into my own life. The relationships with my kids and family will last my whole life and are the most important to me," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
While Federline holds full custody of his children with Spears, he is determined that the kids will grow up in a happy and stable environment. "Their needs define my schedule every day. It is so very important to me that my children will always know and never question, that no matter what happens, they have a mummy and daddy who love them very much," he said.He was granted full physical custody of the boys last year (07) after the 'Toxic' star was failed to adhere to court-ordered medical tests. Britney was also deprived of her visitation rights to her kids in January (08), but the ex-couple has since agreed a new deal to let Spears have limited access to her children.

"CJ7" Synopsis & Gallery

(Courtesy: Sony Pictures)
Synopsis:
Ti is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys, stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky--the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life. But CJ7 has other ideas and when Dicky brings it to class, chaos ensues.
