The ruling was the latest move in a custody battle between Britney and ex-husband, wannabe rap star Kevin Federline.

Among other things, the singer was ordered to undergo random weekly drug testing.

A hearing in the matter was scheduled for October 26.

Britney runs over photographer’s foot - Oct 19 2007
Pop star Britney Spears ran over a photographer’s foot in her car hours after losing visitation rights to her children, it was reported.

Britney was driving out of a Beverly Hills medical building car park yesterday (Thursday) afternoon when the incident happened, according to celebrity website Hollywood.TV.

Police in Beverly Hills said complaint had been filed.

Video on the website shows elements of the incident, though not the tyre actually rolling over the cameraman’s foot.

It shows Brit beginning to pull out of the car park when her car is surrounded by more than a dozen celebrity photographers. The car comes to a stop.

The star honks and the car lurches forward a few feet -- when the photographer is apparently hit.

Shouting is heard, and the camera jerks around as fellow photographers apparently help a man up.

Britney drives off. Seconds later, video shows what appears to be a tyre mark on the unidentified paparazzo’s sock. The man, wearing sandals with white socks, doesn’t respond to questions from the cameraman but instead walks off without any apparent problems.

Earlier yesterday, Britney learned she cannot even visit her young sons, who are in the custody of ex-husband Kevin Federline, until she complies with a court order.

 

Court suspends Brit’s visitation rights - Oct 18 2007
Troubled pop star Britney Spears cannot visit her two young children until she complies with a court order, a US court commissioner has ruled.

"Petitioner’s (Spears’) visitation with the minor children is suspended pending the petitioner’s compliance with the court orders," Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon wrote in an order which was dated yesterday (Wednesday).

The ruling in Los Angeles followed an emergency hearing, the latest in a custody battle between Britney and her ex-husband, wannabe rap star Kevin Federline.

The order did not spell out what directives the US star failed to comply with. A hearing was scheduled for October 26.

The pop princess is battling her former hubby for custody of their two young sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.

A message left with Britney’s lawyer, Anne Kiley, was not immediately returned.

Britney turns herself in - Oct 17 2007
Britney Spears has reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid licence, US police said.

Officer Mike Lopez said the troubled pop star was fingerprinted and photographed before leaving about 45 minutes after turning herself in.

"She was fine, co-operative," Mr Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."

Britney, 25, was wearing large designer sunglasses and a black turtleneck dress and jacket. As she left the station, she told KCAL-TV that all went smoothly.

"They were nice," she said of the police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

The charges stem from an incident on August 6 during which paparazzi filmed the Toxic singer steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a space in a Studio City car park. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.

The owner of the other vehicle, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days later.

Britney had been ordered to report for booking before an October 25 court appearance.
