well if you think about all the news coverage he's got this past year it's not that surprising. And he's done a LOT to change his image around from what it was, to what it is now. i mean if the general public was asked, would you rather see the kids with Britney or Kevin, I'd be surprised if anyone said Britney.

^^But that is besides the point!I dont care about their personal issues,why on earth is this man on the cover of any magazine?Let alone on Details issue of the most influential men? I truly dont get it,cant find one good reason for it!When a female quazi-celeb spouse gets attention like this everyone screams she just got it because of whom she is sleeping with or because of her husband,boyfriend.etc,insanity!

yeah but I don't think Kevin went out of this way to get publicity (well to a certain extent, yes) it's not entirely his fault that his ex-wife who used to be one of the most revered pop stars is having a gradual mental breakdown in public. I can't think of a single person who's changed their image in this year as drastically as he has (except Britney....in the opposite direction) and personally I totally think it makes sense to have him on the power issue. Does he wield power within Hollywood? no. But in the public eye....yes I definately think so.

 

[cake_batter]

i bought it today.. for some reason... horrible issue.

 

[kissmesweet]

"Influencial"?

 

[Meg]

regardless....I wouldn't take a mag too serious that has "Are you turning your kid into a douchebag" on the cover.....

 

[alix*]

Why.

 

[Cybie]

LAST LAUGH?: Details editor in chief Dan Peres has been beaten up in the blogosphere and in print for deciding to put Kevin Federline on the magazine's cover for the second time in two years. But it appears Peres' move was a shrewd one: he said the December issue featuring the baby daddy to Britney Spears is on track to sell more than 75,000 copies, nearly 15,000 above K-Fed's March 2005 issue. That's a respectable sale for a guy who has been panned as one of the bigger losers of pop culture, but whom Details called one of "America's new parental role models" in its December Power List. Though Federline, a fledgling rapper and party promoter, is best known for marrying (and divorcing) one of the biggest former pop stars in the country, his image as a doting father has grown as his ex-wife becomes increasingly strange with every incident of head shaving, clothing removal and erratic driving reported in the press. "K-Fed is certainly relevant and that's indisputable," said Peres.

Federline's popularity, Peres added, also speaks to the bigger theme of how even the most grotesque celebrities have become a larger part of mainstream news. "That sort of tabloid nature of the news is permeating so many aspects of our culture, from watching Paris Hilton being released from prison as if it were hostages being released with Jesse Jackson brokering the deal, or how the death of Anna Nicole Smith got more coverage than the death of [former president] Gerald Ford."

But Federline's appeal to the consumer isn't as strong as other Details cover models — the August issue featuring Daniel Radcliffe will likely be its best seller of the year. The issue, the first Details cover by photographer Steven Klein, banked 91,000 copies, compared with 73,000 copies for the August 2006 issue.
