COLUMBUS, Ohio - Britney Spears no longer wants him as her husband and audiences have been cool to his attempt at a rap music career, but Kevin Federline has Nationwide on his side.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., known for its "On Your Side" slogan, plans to run a national ad during the Super Bowl, and K-Fed has been tapped to star, the Columbus-based company announced Wednesday.

The 30-second spot, to air during the third quarter of the Feb. 4 game, will be the latest installment in Nationwide's "Life Comes at You Fast" ad campaign. Previous celebrity ads in the series have featured Fabio and M.C. Hammer.

In the new commercial, Federline, 28, goes from starring in a rap video surrounded by beauties and bling to working at a fast-food joint.

"No one has personified `Life Comes at You Fast' in the media better than Federline," said Steven Schreibman, Nationwide vice president of advertising and brand management. "Our partnership with Kevin shows the world that he has a great sense of humor."

I wonder if these psuedo-celebrities would go away if people just stopped talking about them.

He has to be one of the least talented persons going today the media and others keep giving attention to. Ridiculous!

He is getting 250K to make fun of himself. Man I wish getting dumped by a chick would work that way for me.

For sure. And capitalizing on his fame, whatever that may be, by doing a superbowl ad. He's taking his 15 and definately running with it.

Heck, thanks to the information/internet age, "stars" are lasting longer and extending their 15 minutes of fame. It doesn't matter if his music is crappy or not. For example, a thread was created on a message board, that really has nothing to do with him or his music, regarding kevin federline. Yes, he's appearing in a superbowl ad, but what is it of concern to football fans? These people are being prompt up, whether for good or not, is being discussed. Thus, extends their careers. And pays more money to their bank accounts as we continue to yap over federline.

I saw the ad and it is actually really good and funny. His rap isnt bad at all and it is clever. Many will love it. He is at rock bottom so this might help him out. Making fun of yourself is a start because we already have for a few years.
