Britney Spears told David Letterman on Tuesday that she's pregnant again, which means she probably was a couple months along while partying on champagne, martinis and amaretto sours during a Las Vegas outing.
That was in March, when Spears, 24, was in town to celebrate the 28th birthday of her husband, Kevin Federline, an aspiring rapper.

"Don't worry, Dave, it's not yours," Spears told Letterman during "The Late Show."
They returned about two weeks ago for Federline's listening party at Pure nightclub at Caesars Palace. They reportedly got into a squabble that started flaring at Cleopatra's Barge. She went to their villa and did not walk the red carpet with Federline.
The couple's parenting skills were called into question earlier this year when their son reportedly suffered a fractured skull when he fell from a high chair.
