Entertainment Tonight says they allegedly have information which may point to Britney Spears as the person who may have hired hit men to kill Kevin Federline. Here’s more:

ET has several reliable sources that the FBI and LAPD are investigating legitimate leads on a contract hit on KEVIN FEDERLINE’s life.

Multiple sources tell ET that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger.

Sources within the FBI tell ET that this is the bureau’s standard operating procedure when someone’s life is threatened.

ET has been working this story for the past two months. When contacted, the FBI told us that the bureau cannot confirm or deny an investigation.

The custody battle is really heating up now. It shouldn’t be hard to find the hit men. Just look for two guys honking horns that smell like Cheetos with big red noses, colorful afros, and big floppy feet.

Update:

…an FBI investigation into a plot to kill Kevin Ferderline are completely untrue — however, an LAPD investigation was conducted in the past.

According to LAPD, the department opened an investigation into a threat on Federline’s life nearly two months ago, but the case was closed due to insufficient evidence.

TMZ also spoke with the L.A. spokesperson for the FBI, who blasted reports claiming that the the FBI ever confirmed anything about a K-Fed investigation saying, "The information on the Internet on these reports is not accurate. It did not come from the FBI at all."

That’s a relief. Turns out Britney is more old fashioned. She’ll probably take K-Fed out with a long rifle or a crossbow.

“While sleeping on a plane over the weekend, my foot evidently found a home on the arm rest of the passenger seated directly in front of me. I didn’t realize I was causing the woman any distress until she woke me up with a quick hit to the chest. Unfortunately, being that this happened on a plane, the FBI was called in to investigate and eventually we were all sent on our way. I’d like to thank everyone for their concern; I am fine and have taken steps to prevent any foot wandering in the future.”

- Clay Aiken tells Entertainment Tonight

Clay Aiken is okay folks. Not to worry, though we almost entitled this story “Clay Aiken’s Brush With Death on an Airplane” or “Gaykes on a Plane”…really, the list goes on and on.

MSNBC is reporting that the closeted crooner…er….very masculine American Idol runner up and a female passenger had a spat in the air and the FBI was called.

FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson said there was a dispute between a male passenger and a woman on the flight but could not confirm the passenger was Aiken. He said the dispute was over the male passenger’s foot resting on the woman’s armrest. He said there was an allegation the woman gave the male passenger a “minor shove” during the argument.

“At that point the flight crew was able to resolve the situation,” Johnson said.

According to MSNBC, at his concert later that night, "Aiken joked on-stage about being beaten up by a girl earlier in the day."

We’re thinking Aiken might want to tone down the joking. We all know that if the those flight-attendant fans of his hadn’t jumped in to help him, that lady might have taken him out.

Can’t you just picture a smug Aiken refusing to move his foot. Don’t you know who I am?

Wonder if Clay’s seatmate offered to hold him down, while the shover bitch-slapped him?

By all means, we really aren’t condoning air-rage. We’re just saying that, in theory, one might be inclined to help a sister out by blocking the arrogant Aiken’s escape to the lavatory.

Or maybe tripping him.
