Exclusive! Britney, K-Fed and Jimmy Kimmel

I have new details on why Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are less than pleased with what went down tonight at the American Music Awards.
As E! Online reported earlier this evening, Spears was a surprise presenter at the AMAs and went on right after a comedy bit that featured a K-Fed look-alike being put in a box and dropped in a river.
Spears is said to be upset because no one told her beforehand about the skit. Members of her camp apparently demanded that the skit be cut from the West Coast feed of the show. It wasn’t.
K-Fed (in the photo on the right with Spears during happier times) is less than thrilled, too. His people called and “were freaking out,” a source tells me.
So, who came up with the spoof? The host of the awards, Jimmy Kimmel. I’m told it was planned and produced long before Spears signed on. “Britney was a last-second add to the show,” my source says.
Kimmel isn’t exactly apologizing, telling me shortly after the show, “I knew they wouldn’t mind, because I know they both have great senses of humor.”
The former lovebirds may not be laughing, but most of the audience was. I was there in L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium, and even though there were some gasps because of the skit's crudeness, an overwhelming majority of people were laughing and cheering throughout.
Spears and Kimmel have a history of joking together. A few years ago, she appeared on Kimmel’s show, lying on a stretcher after an Internet rumor at the time wrongly claimed the pop star was hospitalized because of a drug overdose.
Reps for Spears, Federline and the AMAs could not be immediately reached for comment.
