Kevin Federline is plotting a return to reality TV — with a new girl and a couple of babies by his side.
According to E! Online, the former backup dancer and rapper once married to Britney Spears, is eyeing a new deal for a VH1 reality series that would co-star girlfriend Victoria Prince — a pro volleyball player — and his toddler sons with Spears, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
“Victoria is a big part of the series,” an E! source claims. “They are not engaged, but she lives with him full-time in his place in Encino.”
“Victoria and Britney first met before Britney’s tour at Kevin’s home,” the insider revealed. “They had a meeting face-to-face, when Victoria was home alone with the kids. It was awkward, but Britney was nice.”
A rep for VH1 could not confirm whether or not the couple is developing a reality show for the network.

Dane Cook Refers To Brothers Embezzlement "A Terrible Betrayal"
Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
On CNN’s Larry King Live Thursday, comedian Dane Cook confessed that he felt a sense of “terrible betrayal” after he learned his half brother was suspected of embezzling millions of dollars from him.
Last December, Darryl McCauley, 43, was arraigned in Massachusetts on charges of embezzling approximately $10 million from his entertainer brother. Prosecutors allege that McCauley stole the money from Cook while being paid $12,500 a month to act as Cook’s business manager as part of his company, Great Dane Enterprises, Inc.
“I worked with my only half brother for several years,” Cook said. “Woke up one day and a lot of stuff was missing. There is a good chunk of money that is certainly not accounted for. That’s all I can say about it at this point.”
Darryl has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail awaiting trial.
Check out a promo for Dane Cook’s ISolated INcident on Comedy Central May 17th- the program follows Dane around intimate comedy shows while he works on new material after having lost both his parents, check it out:

"Law & Order: SVU" Contract Disputes With Chris Meloni & Mariska Hargitay
Posted on 08. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Oh no! NBC is threatening to replace Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on the beloved crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, industry insiders revealed to MSNBC on Wednesday. We hear the stars have become locked in a bitter contract dispute with the network after demanding a raise; Meloni and Hargitay already earn $350,000 per episode for their roles as Manhattan’s SVU crime fighting twosome Benson and Stabler.
MSNBC wrote on Wednesday:
Last week, NBC closed a deal with L&O boss Dick Wolf for an 11th season of “SVU” — which, at 10.5 million viewers, remains the Peacock’s No. 1 scripted show. That opened the door to a new round of negotiations with the stars, whose $350K-per-episode contracts will expire in May. Yet a source close to the matter said talks stalled when the duo — who, like in their previous negotiations, are banding together — attempted to go after back-end profits, a perk that’s almost never granted in the L&O universe (although exceptions were made for Vincent D’Onofrio and Chris Noth).
Television tattles doubt SVU producers will make good on their threat to drop the show’s two lead actors, particularly since the Benson and Stabler characters’ chemistry has an intricate subplot of the show.
“I don’t think in this environment, there’s any chance they could re-launch the show with both of them gone,” says a high-ranking exec at a rival network. “It’s a horrible time to retool a show. They already have to change the time-slot, because it’s not going to be airing at 10 pm next season….”
