“Britney & Kevin: Chaotic” was explicit. Very explicit. The couple went into ridiculous detail about their bedroom activities and even made out on-camera. Big fans of the star couldn’t stop watching, but people tuning in on a whim, as well as TV reviewers, thought the opposite.
Phrases such as “horrifying train wreck” and “an insult to common sense and decency” appeared in reviews of the show. Perhaps due to embarrassment, the couple has stayed mum about their reaction to the show until 2013. Britney finally revealed her thoughts on the show: “The worst thing I’ve ever done in my career.”
So...are They Married...Or...?
When K-Fed popped the question, Spears had a lawyer draw up an airtight prenuptial agreement to protect her assets in the chance of divorce. It took so long, and paparazzi were so interested in getting the details that Britney decided to hold a non-binding ceremony to get them off their backs.
Their first wedding was a sham until they were officially married on October 6th, 2004, in a secret ceremony, which could only occur after Kevin signed the extensive prenup that Spears's legal team had slaved away on.
On the Little Screen
Less than a year into their marriage, Spears and Federline starred in a five-episode reality show called "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic." Britney had lots of footage of her daily life before her injury and her preparations for her "In the Zone" tour while she was dating and engaged to Kevin.
This footage formed the show's basis, and more footage was added from after they were married. For the entire run of the show, it drew huge viewer numbers, but for pretty much all the wrong reasons.
Rhodes Scholar She Ain't
Spears is hard-working, beautiful, and talented. While this difficult period in her life continued, she almost got a role as Daisy Duke in the – many think entirely unnecessary – 2005 remake of "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Ultimately, another southern blonde, Jessica Simpson, got the role. Simpson may have had an idiotic question when she asked, “Is tuna chicken or fish?” but Britney had her own brain fart earlier in her career: “The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas. Like, to Canada, and stuff.”
A Dangerous Relationship
The toxic relationship between Britney and Federline continued. Numerous times on their reality show gave us a picture of Britney, grinding her teeth and rubbing her hurting jaw. The cause of her erratic behavior is now obvious, but at the time, viewers could do nothing other than feeling worried.
Spears had married the kind of guy no one wants to see with their daughter. Federline was a high school dropout, a failed rapper, and a father of six children with three different women. And he suddenly had more on the way.
