KEVIN FEDERLINE MAY GET PAID TO LOSE WEIGHT

Since last year, Kevin Federline has packed on the pounds — one pal estimates that the former backup dancer has gained more than 40 — and his new job may be to shed that fat. According to another friend, K-Fed, 31, has been offered a deal with NutriSystem to promote its Men’s Plan program. “Kevin wants to lose weight, and he needs to make money,” the friend says. “He’s seriously thinking it over.” However, Kevin’s rep denies that he’s going to work for NutriSystem. K-Fed could be in good company. Former football star Dan Marino, Tony Orlando and Larry the Cable Guy have been spokesmen for NutriSystem.
