billboard.com: Kevin Federline has inked a licensing deal with Reincarnate Music for the Oct. 31 release of his debut album, "Playing With Fire." The 11-track set includes a collaboration with wife Britney Spears dubbed "Crazy" but omits "Popo Zao," which was roundly derided by the media upon its January release as a single.
A new single, "Lose Control," was premiered during the recent Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards. Its accompanying video is available on Yahoo! Music and YouTube.com. Federline will also hit the talk show circuit around release date.
The first 500 fans that pre-order "Playing With Fire" via Federline's online store will receive an autographed photo; all pre-orderers will be entered into a contest to attend a record release party in Los Angeles hosted by Spears. The runner-up will win the sneakers Federline wore on the Teen Choice Awards.

The 'Toxic' singer, who has just given birth to her second son Sutton Pierce, was convinced she would be a success because a 'clairvoyant' grabbed her on the street and predicted her future.
She revealed to Britain's OK! magazine: "Me and my mum were walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans and this psychic came up to me and she started telling me this stuff.
"She looked at my mum, and went, 'In ten years, your daughter - everyone is going to know her name'. And I was like 'OK, whatever!'
"I was only ten years old then , but it really has happpened."
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Britney is set to rap on her next album.
The pop babe's producer, J.R. Rotem, has revealed her hip-hop plans and says the mum-of-two's fifth LP is going to be "crazy".
He revealed to MTV: "I can tell you there's some dance stuff, there's some slow, more introspective stuff and some club tracks. She even raps a bit."
He added: "When she gets behind the microphone there's a magic that comes out - and the music that we're doing is the next level."

People were teasing me,' That was the only part that just killed me," Jackson confessed. Shar also talks about her relationship with K-Fed's wife, Britney Spears.

lse.co.uk: Britney Spears plans to dance off her baby weight.
The 24-year-old singer delivered her second son, Sutton Pierce Federline, by Caesarean section last Tuesday (12.09.06) but is already keen to get her athletic figure back.
A friend said: "She wants to dance her way back to shape by hiring a studio. It's more fun than the gym."
Britney has always been a keen dancer and is known for the gruelling dance routines included in her music videos and live tours.
Sutton Pierce weighed in at 6lb 11oz and Britney was said to have followed a careful diet in the last few months of her pregnancy.
During the early stages, Britney was said to have indulged her cravings for junk food including Cheetos crisps, fried chicken, and even son Sean Preston's baby biscuits.
But the 'Toxic' singer curbed her calorific urges as she was anxious not to gain as much weight as she did when pregnant with one-year-old Sean Preston.
Throughout her first pregnancy Britney indulged in huge binges on junk food and allegedly gained a massive 51lbs, which she had trouble shifting afterwards.

news24.com: Kevin Federline, aka K-Fed and Mr Britney Spears, is more than just a rapper, dancer and famous father. He's also a fashion model.
Federline has been tapped again to be the face of Five Star Vintage clothing, company spokesperson Kenneth Loo said on Wednesday.
Federline made his modelling debut with the company over the summer. His latest ads, showcasing the company's holiday line, will begin appearing next month.
The company chose Federline again because of his "renegade style", Loo said, and because it nearly sold out of each outfit Federline modelled.
"He is a maverick, making his own choices when it comes to his music, his fashion and his celebrity," Loo said. "He is constantly in the public eye, which makes him a good spokesperson for our line."
The ads show Federline wearing sunglasses, a white tank top and two different jackets from the company's holiday line.

contactmusic.com: KEVIN FEDERLINE's ex-girlfriend SHAR JACKSON refuses to meet his children with BRITNEY SPEARS because she wants to keep her life separate from the pop star. Jackson and Federline have a son, KALEB, two, and a daughter, COREY, four, while Federline also has two sons with Spears, SEAN PRESTON, one, and SUTTON PIERCE, who was born on 12 September (06). Although Jackson considers Spears a part of her children's "extended family" she draws the line at meeting her children's step-siblings, Sean and Sutton. In an appearance on the DR KEITH ABLOW SHOW, to be screened on Thursday (21SEP06), she insists, "I like to keep my distance." Federline left Jackson while she was pregnant with their second child and went on the European leg of Spears' tour shortly after meeting her in a Hollywood nightclub. Jackson insists she wasn't sorry that her own relationship with Federline broke-up, but was devastated that her children's stable family life was in jeopardy. She explains, "As far as I was concerned, I was OK that the relationship ended...but the family breaking up is something painful. "And honestly I didn't let it happen. Now in the beginning it was rough, because he was overseas, so I really didn't have much control over there. "But when he came back home, I told him, 'Kevin, I'm not going to let you be a convenient father, when it's convenient for you.' "If you are going to be part of these kids' lives, then you're going to be a part. If not, then you're not.'"

J R ROTEM, who has worked with 50 CENT, RIHANNA, LIL' KIM and PARIS HILTON, admits he was terrified about meeting the singer. However, she soon put him at ease and he's convinced the tracks they made before she gave birth to new son SUTTON PIERCE last week (12SEP06) will be huge hits. He tells MTV, "I was blown away to see Britney record in the studio. You hear this finished result that sounds professional, but you don't know how much of it is overproduced, how much of it is edited. "But I found the actual talent was really there - that thing that makes people gravitate toward. "Here's this person that's arguably the biggest pop star in the world, so you would assume she could have an ego. But when I got into the studio with her, she was just a real person. She was really sweet. She was so professional. "When she gets behind the mic there's a magic that comes out - and the music that we're doing is the next level." He also hints Spears' next album could be her most diverse yet, mixing club anthems with "slow, more introspective stuff".
