This week is shaping up to be another tough one for Britney Spears. On Monday alone, the singer parted ways with her lawyer and her manager — right in the middle of her battle for custody of her children. That battle is now requiring Spears to undergo random drug testing and counseling, court papers reveal.
Ever since the singer's VMA performance on September 9, Spears has been caught in a freefall. With her "comeback" a backfire, she's left trying to set up her yet-untitled next album (due November 13) as she fights ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody of the couple's two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
That fight isn't going well — Spears suffered a series of setbacks in her child-custody dispute during a closed hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, when Commissioner Scott Gordon found that "there is a habitual, frequent and continuous use" of controlled substances and alcohol, and ordered the singer to undergo twice-weekly random testing. The results of the drug tests, which are to be conducted at Spears' expense, are to be filed under seal and will not be made public. But both Spears and Federline were ordered to abstain from alcohol and nonprescription medication during and for 12 hours immediately preceding any period either has the children in his or her custody.
