Celebrity gossip readers know that Kevin Federline has gotten absurdly fat lately. Now he is going to be paid money to endorse a product whose manufacturer wants to help him lose that extra "daddy weight." What a great country this is.

According to a source, the former Mr. Britney Spears has been offered a deal - reportedly worth seven figures - to endorse a new weight loss product.

Kevin Federline is reportedly considering an endorsement deal with a company called EP-2 (Extreme Physical Performance). The source said the former dancer has been offered $2.5 million to become the new face of the fat-burning tool.

The weight loss product will be marketed in 1,400 GNC stores.

While a rep for the FedEx man has yet to comment, a spokesperson for EP-2 said: “Yes, we’re trying to do a deal with him, but nothing has been confirmed yet.”

This follows a rumor that celebrity trainer Chris Cormier had put K-Fed on a strict high-protein diet last week so that he could shed 45 pounds for his new show.

That's right, Federline and girlfriend Victoria Prince are coming to VH1. Apparently there is a market to watch their lives. It must be a really slow TV decade.
