While Britney Spears was praying for her soul, or maybe just for a Starbucks gift card, Kevin Federline was actually testifying at yesterday's custody hearing.

The mohawked actor/rapper/surprisingly decent father showed up on time, in a suit, with nary a celebrity gossip photographer boyfriend or self-serving best friend in tow. Amazing.

Here is a court artist's rendition of K-Fed in court:

When it comes to having his and Britney's issues in the spotlight, Federline was quite understanding of the situation in a recently conversation with Interview magazine:

"People put it up on this pedestal when it's really the same way that everybody else goes through their stuff, you know?" he said. "I mean, I could sit down and explain that to people, but they all already know how I feel. I think the infatuation with the whole thing is that watching us go through things makes other people feel normal."

Sounds pretty grounded, doesn't he? Are you taking notes, Britney?
