K-Fed -- GUILTY of Felony Acting on CSI
TMZ has obtained photo evidence of Kevin Federline actually working, for a change. Britney's man was all smiles on the set of the CBS hit drama "CSI," where the star has scored a role on the popular crime drama. During the shoot, K-Fed found time to chat with an actual LAPD officer on set in between takes. Observers say officers were instructed to keep curious fans and the "Pavarottis" (sic) at bay.
Kevin plays a thuggish, arrogant teen who harasses investigators on the show, played by series regulars George Eads and Gary Dourdan (investigators Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown, respectively). Don't miss K-Fed's acting debut, set to air this fall on CBS.

Criminals Taking Tips From TV Crime Shows
When Tammy Klein began investigating crime scenes eight years ago, it was virtually unheard of for a killer to use bleach to clean up a bloody mess. Today, the use of bleach, which destroys DNA, is not unusual in a planned homicide, said the senior criminalist from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Klein and other experts attribute such sophistication to television crime dramas like "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," which give criminals helpful tips on how to cover up evidence.
Prosecutors have complained for years about "the CSI effect" on juries - an expectation in every trial for the type of high-tech forensic evidence the show's investigators uncover. It also appears the popular show and its two spinoffs could be affecting how some crimes are committed.
"They're actually educating these potential killers even more," said Capt. Ray Peavy, also of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and head of the homicide division. "Sometimes I believe it may even encourage them when they see how simple it is to get away with on television."
A man charged in a recent double-homicide in northeast Ohio was a "CSI" fan and went to great lengths to cover his tracks, according to an affidavit filed by Trumbull County prosecutors.
