We're suckers for anything OK!-related, mostly because we're jealous of their interminable budget. You can bet your ass we'd be paying for stories if we could afford it, but alas, all our profits are reinvested into stalking Jake Gyllenhaal.

Then mix in Britney Spears and, well, it's a Molotov cocktail for our soul. And Lloyd Grove isn't just lighting the rag — he's throwing the bottle.

So Brit's camp wasn't too pleased when they learned editrix Sarah Ivens & Co. were planning to a run a not so pleasant story on Kevin Federline, who's parenting abilities aren't exactly rivaling Kate Moss' (then again, who can?).

But Ivens – or, more accurately, publisher Richard Desmond – isn't about to pass up an opportunity to grab the first pics of baby Sean Preston, so what's a celebrity rag in bed with the celebrity industry to do?

Change the story, natch.

"We started out making Kevin look like a real a-," reports an OK! insider. "Britney's people were not happy with the angle, so the story was changed a bit to reflect a happier married life. The tone became softer, the focus changed."

OK! even caved on the accompanying poll, changing the original question, "Should Britney forgive Kevin?" to "Should Britney and Kevin get a nanny?"

Says the spy, "It's ridiculous! We let up on Kevin a whole hell of a lot. It's just to stay in Brit's graces to maybe one day get those f-ing baby pics."

Now why don't we just leave the K-Fed bashing to the blogs, shall we? We've got the time and celeb weeklies, after all, need to refocus their attention on Jennifer Aniston crying.
