Clay Aiken Throws Down With a Woman - PIC

I hesitate to write anything on an American Idol after wondering aloud last week how Taylor Hicks was doing. From the many responses, it seems Taylor has a book, a hit record, and the greatest live performance you’ve ever seen. That is unless you’ve seen Michael McDonald in concert. I’m kidding!

So I hope this story doesn’t upset the claymates out there, but it seems your boy got in a scuffle on an airplane while en route to Tulsa International Airport. The dispute on a Continental Airlines flight took place between Clay Aiken, who was traveling Saturday morning to a performance at the Brady Theater, and a woman, the Tulsa World reported for Sunday’s editions.

Concertgoers who attended the former ”American Idol” singer’s show said afterward that Aiken joked on-stage about being beaten up by a girl earlier in the day.

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.

Tulsa Airport Authority spokeswoman Alexis Higgins said the passengers were held until FBI agents arrived to interview them. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.

Wait ’til Kathy Griffin gets a hold of this story.

UPDATE (Allie): The blogger from under the stairs had a reader send in a couple of cell phone pictures, taken during Clay’s questioning.

Apparently, the elderly woman in the first picture, is the push and shover.

How come no one bothers to report that according to witnesses interviewed by the FBI, Mr Aiken was asleep when the assault on him began. Oh, I know, because then he might actually be the “victim” and not the “diva” and that wouldn’t make near as interesting a story.

You have a good sense of humor. Thanks for that, and for remembering Mr. Hicks again this week. Some of your readers may not be aware that Taylor’s book, Heart Full of Soul, will be available July 10 nationwide. His next television appearance, I believe, is July 18 on The View. Looking forward to both.
