K-Fed Feted as Father of the Year

Kevin Federline Denise Truscello

What's it take to be a good dad? Not holding a steady job, giving the kids quality time with their crazy mother and ditching them on Father's Day weekend to party in Vegas.

Friday night, Kevin Federline was named Father of the Year by Privé Nightclub in Las Vegas. Yes, really.

(Guess it's not so hard to come off as a good parent when your ex-wife locks herself in the bathroom with one of the kids during a three-hour standoff with police.)

Ever the good dad, the former Mr. Britney Spears left sons Jayden James and Sean Preston back in Los Angeles with the nanny so he could receive the award in person. But K-Fed was shy about accepting it.

"The club had a trophy for him in the kitchen, but he didn't want to get it in public," a club source tells E! News.

Federline was mellow but happy most of the night, surrounded by male pals and a bevy of attractive models, none of whom K-Fed showed any special interest. Even when a modeling show of scantily clad girls paraded before him after he arrived around 1 a.m., K-Fed "didn't pay much attention," a source tells E!

But K-Fed did make news: He was overheard telling pals he is working on a new album. Joy!

Federline was previously named Father of the Year by Details magazine in November 2007. He also has two children from a previous relationship with Shar Jackson, whom he left when she was six months pregnant in order to be with Brit-Brit.
