Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, A Comedy Couple at the VMAs  9/1/06

Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline showed off his acting talents for the first time last night (31AUG06), after teaming up with the pop superstar to shoot a skit for the MTV Video Music Awards.

The couple made light of criticism they're bad parents in the pre-recorded skit when a heavily-pregnant Spears asked her husband where he'd put their baby son Sean Preston.

Federline stated, "I thought you had him."

The camera cut to what looked like baby Sean Preston speeding around in a customized sports car. The joke failed to raise a laugh.

Spears and Federline returned to present a taped run down of the Best R&B Video nominations.

Federline's acting career heats up later this month (SEP06) when he appears in the season opener of TV drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He has also landed a role on Nip/Tuck.
