As long as Britney Spears and Kevin Federline keep talking, or having court dates to settle their custody problems, or having meltdowns that land one of them in the psych ward, people are going to keep writing about them.

But K-Fed says that's OK. Why? People want to know what happens to the tabloid family of the year because it makes others "feel normal." I guess there's something to be said for that. Britney and K-Fed are hardly the first parents to have a dramatic divorce and custody battle. So to that extent, a lot of people can relate to them.

The problem is most people can't relate to the attempt to maintain one's stardom while a marriage is falling apart and kids' futures are hanging in the balance. Most divorcing mothers don't go staggering around on stage in their underwear, and most divorcing fathers aren't plotting their comeback and starring in Super Bowl TV commercials. And that's because most divorcing parents immerse themselves in the tasks at hand — both the legal ones and the day-to-day ones, like going to work and keeping a roof over their heads.

Hey K-Fed, maybe looking at other people's divorce and custody battles should make YOU feel normal.
