Yet sources who spent time with Federline in New York City the weekend before Spears filed for divorce say it was obvious something was seriously wrong. Both Spears and Federline were in Manhattan Nov. 3 and 4, ostensibly for a concert and party for his album, "but they didn't spend any time together," says one source. "Britney stayed at the Regency Hotel, he stayed at the Doubletree. And she didn't come to his record release party at [the nightclub] Stereo." By the time a solo Federline arrived in Toronto Nov. 6 "he looked pretty depressed," says the photo agency rep who was with him. "You could see it in his eyes, it was like tears were welling up. It was a really odd feeling talking to him. He was a sad guy."
Spears, on the other hand, had never looked happier. On Nov. 6 she dropped in on David Letterman, her first surprise visit to the Late Show since popping in on May 9 to announce she was pregnant with Jayden. This time she showed up wearing a short black dress and blonde bob wig just to say hi and model her surprisingly svelte post-pregnancy figure. "She looked terrific," says an audience member who didn't recognize her at first. "I thought maybe it was an imposter."
