American Idol alum Clay Aiken was involved in a dispute with a woman during a flight to Tulsa over the weekend. The altercation, surprising Claymates around the world, even drew the scrutiny of FBI agents.

According to press reports, "Aiken was on a Saturday morning flight for an evening show, and concertgoers said that night he joked onstage about being beaten up by a girl earlier in the day."

Its OK to be a loser sometimes. Just ask Clay Aiken.

The Raleigh, N.C., native narrowly missed clinching the American Idol 2 title from Ruben Studdard by 130,000 (out of more than 25 million) votes. Since then, Aiken's success has equaled -- or surpassed -- that of Idol alumni Studdard, Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray and poor, poor
Justin Guarini.

Aiken's first post-Idol release, This Is the Night/Bridge Over Troubled Water, was the only platinum-certified single of 2003. It spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart.
