FYI: FoY

Are you jealous of (or perhaps astounded by) the success of Kevin Federline? K-Fed, failed rapper, dancer and insurance spokesperson and father of four with two women (one of whom he didn't marry and who he left for the other, a blonde-haired deep purse) has been named father of the year for the second time in six months.

FoY! Twice! And the "honor" comes with a night out without his kids as the celebrity draw (male whore) at a Las Vegas club. His previous honor, from Details magazine, was as co-FoY. He shared the honor with Larry Birkhead (court-decided popi of Danielynn). Both are fathers with dysfunctional women (Britney Spears and the late Anna Nicole Smith) who happen to have been loaded — monetarily speaking only, of course.

If that should happen to be the primary achievement necessary for FoY status, then let us now propose former tennis great John McEnroe as a contender when the next "annual" award is made in a few months. He, after all, is dad of six (one adopted), three of whom were with the just arrested (because of her dog) Tatum O'Neal.

Of course, if you happen to believe that maybe deserving FoY status should be for more than being married to a crazy woman (or crack addict), then consider a contest that rewards the honoree with a trip to New Orleans. The Meridian (Miss.) Star just wants your essay for their Father of the Year award. Winners and runners-up all get fabulous prizes. So,

If you want to nominate your dad, just write a letter to The Meridian Star, saying in, 150 words or less, what makes your dad the best. Include a photo, and send your letter by e-mail to ddelshad@themeridianstar.com or by mail to:

Father of the Year
c/o the Meridian Star
P.O. Box 1591
Meridian, MS 39301

People of all ages can send in nominations, the only requirement is that you have a great dad.

** Who knows, maybe K-Fed will threepeat in less than a year? After all, a crazy mom can go a long way in making the father look fab. **
