The London Sun is reporting that Kevin Federline, who just scored a guest gig on CSI, also will showcase his sure-to-impress acting chops in three episodes of HBO's Entourage, playing the deadbeat husband of a celebrity.

T.H. Gossip's Take: Typecasting lives! Oh, snap!

Please note, however that this is according to the London Sun, which some may liken to the New York Post -- it's not the sleuths at T.H. Gossip who are bringing you this story directly.

Sometimes, we are forced to rely on people who might not be as reliable as we'd like... but such is the nature of the business.

Bottom line? K-Fed's career is really taking off. Our resident Entourage fan says that the show frequently mocks Hollywood, so we look forward to seeing Kevin's performance, if this story is legit.

As for K's family life, that's going great too, with one (poorly-dressed) son with wife Britney Spears already alive and kicking, and another bun in the oven about ready to come out October 31!
