Britney Spears has reportedly filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

The web site TMZ.com reports Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Her petition asks for legal and physical custody of their two kids, one-year-old Sean Preston and two-month-old Jayden James.

MEANWHILE...
K-Fed’s New York City gig at Webster Hall wasn’t cancelled as some predicted — but it reportedly took some big-time begging on his part.

“They were going to cancel this concert, but he begged them to keep it on,” a Webster Hall bartender told Star. “He had to fight with them to keep this concert.” Only 300 people showed up at the club that holds 1,500.

Federline’s performance has been described as “mercifully short.” Britney Spears’s hubby only rapped for about half an hour and, reports one eyewitness, “seemed really confused about how to act on stage. He would pace from one side of the stage to the other, just saying things like, ‘Hey’ thirty times in a row or ‘New York, thank you for coming — buy my CD.’ ”
