Kevin Federline’s credit card was denied while doing some Christmas shopping at Fry’s Electronics in LA this week. His contingency plan? Britney, of course.

“Kevin has asked the courts for more child support and even spousal support,” says an insider close to him. “He’s asking his lawyers to go for as much as they can.”

Which seems to conflict pretty directly with what he said via his lawyer two months ago:

“I want to put to rest these allegations we’ve heard that he wants more money … There is no request before the court for any modification of any support ordered in this case.”

Yeah, no request yet. He’s already getting $15,000 a month. That’s $180,000 a year. No wonder K-Fed doesn’t have a job — he shouldn’t need one.
