Network UPN

Premiere Tuesday, May 17, 9-10 p.m.

Premise Girl (Britney Spears, left, holding stepdaughter Kori) hires expectant father (Kevin Federline) as backup dancer. Girl falls for expectant father and meticulously videotapes their flirtation, courtship, and wedding. Girl sells footage to minor broadcast network.

Influences Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, Truth or Dare, One Night in Paris

Cringe Factor Prepare mute button for possible footage of Britney's poorly reviewed Onyx Hotel tour or K. Fed testing out his rap skillz.
