Britney, KFed Miss Out on JaydenFederline.com

Are we shocked that Britney Spears and her rocket scientist hubby Kevin Federline are not as adept at registering baby domain names as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? Despite buying a month of secrecy by leaking a fake name after the Sept. 12 birth, Britney and KFed still couldn't manage to secure the tot's domain name.

Instead, Leonard Lee of Union City, Calif. is the proud owner of JaydenFederline.com. Lee purchased the name on Oct. 18, shortly after the first news items mentioning the name. The birth certificate didn't become public until today, and JaydenFederline.org was registered in short order. The poor .net top-level domain doesn't cut it anymore, as jaydenfederline.net was still available as of 3:30 pm Eastern time.

So who's the sucker who registered SuttonPierceFederline.com? It was a private registration, so we can't know for sure. But we suspect KFed, who isn't getting any smarter getting dropped on his head by those WWE wrestlers.
