More Details Behind The Britney Spears And Kevin Federline Divorce, Part 2

In Touch reports:

At New York's Regency Hotel, guest Britney Spears "was in The Library restaurant, sitting at a table that had been set aside for her," says an onlooker. But as the chair opposite her remained empty, "she started crying."

She was waiting for her husband, Kevin Federline, to arrive that November 2 night -- but he never did.

Earlier that day, Kevin was overheard arguing on his cell phone. According to a family insider, the couple had a blowout over Kevin's upcoming gig at NYC nightclub Webster Hall.

"Britney got mad because Kevin wouldn't allow the kids to go along with him for rehearsals," explains the insider, adding that Britney, 24, likes to have their sons with her as much as possible.

But the couple seemed to have put the fight behind them -- until Kevin was a no-show at the hotel's eatery. A deeply upset Britney took drastic action. "She stayed by herself with the kids that night, and Kevin moved to a different hotel," says the insider.

The night after he stood her up, Kevin was set to launch his concert tour with a performance at NYC's Stereo nightclub, and Britney was scheduled to introduce him.

But Britney didn't show up at the hotspot.

Kevin denied that he was having family problems, but when another guest asked how Britney and the kids were, he responded, "I don't know."

At 2 a.m., when it was clear Britney would not turn up, "Kevin performed 'Playing with Fire' and 'A League of My Own,' " says a guest. "Afterwards, there was no cheering." Later, the DJ played Britney's hit "Slave 4 U" but "Kevin sat stone-faced until he motioned for the DJ to cut the song off early," says another onlooker.

Kevin found himself going solo for the second night in a row. His Webster Hall show drew only 70 fans -- and Britney was not among them.

Afterward, a noticeably glum Kevin dined at Corio, where even a burlesque dancer couldn't seem to cheer him up. At 2:40 a.m., Kevin was still going strong without his spouse.

By November 6, Britney and Kevin were even further apart. He flew to Canada to attend a taping of Much Music, while Britney stayed behind to appear on Letterman.

Britney was in such a hurry to file, she had to fax her signature to Wasser to affix to the document.

Britney’s bizarre appearance on last night’s Late Show with David Letterman, when she walked onstage looking better than she has in years in a tight black minidress — proving her point to the world by showing what Kevin will now be missing.

I'm sure the stories are gonna be coming in like crazy. I'll try to keep you guys posted. I also may give my two cents on this split. No daily linkage today. Today was crazy busy for me outside of POTP and I have to go leave now to go vote.

See ya tomorrow.
