A court commissioner has ordered Britney Spears to undergo random drug
testing and hire a parenting coach to help the pop singer raise her
children with ex-husband Kevin Federline, court papers showed on Tuesday.
The documents, which were posted on celebrity news site TMZ.com, result
from a Monday hearing in the bitter custody battle between Spears and
Federline over their two sons -- Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
"Based on the evidence presented, the court finds that there is habitual,
frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by the
petitioner," who is Spears, Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon
wrote in his ruling.
Federline had been asking for increased custody, but Gordon maintained a
50/50 joint arrangement.
Gordon ordered both Spears, 25, and Federline, 29, to complete a
"parenting without conflict" program, and said each must refrain from
making derogatory remarks about the other.
But he saved his most stringent requirements for Spears, who in recent
months has exhibited odd behavior after completing a rehab program in
March.
Spears has shaved her head bald, attacked paparazzi, fired staff, and
stripped down to underwear for an impromptu ocean swim in front of
photographers, among many incidents.
In July she was derided for lip-syncing songs while performing at
Southern California nightclubs, and earlier this month she earned scorn
at MTV's Video Music Awards dressing as a stripper and miming a new song,
"Gimme More."
Gordon ordered Spears to undergo testing for drugs and alcohol twice per
week on random dates and times.
She must meet with a counselor at least once a week to address parenting
issues and work with a parenting coach at least eight hours a week in at
least two sessions per week.
