According to the hard-hitting crack news team over at Entertainment Tonight, authorities are currently conducting an investivation to determine whether or not someone has taken out a contract hit on Kevin Federline’s life. We have NO IDEA whether this could possibly be credible, or WHO could possibly have a motive to do something like that, but considering all parties involved, nothing really surprises us anymore.

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.

So could Britney Spears – backed against a wall and facing the increasingly real prospect of losing her children – have had some kind of shady meeting in a dark bar where she chain-smoked cigarettes and said something like, “I want that bastard Kevin dead, y’all”? Or, having finally smoked himself totally retarded, is Kevin himself resorting to desperate measures to be taken seriously as a rapper? Either way, if there is some kind of contract killer looking to rid the world of K-Fed, godspeed.
