The pop star, who is seeking to regain the shared custody she lost earlier this month, must also continue meeting a court-appointed parenting coach, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon said.

Calls to lawyers representing Britney and her ex-husband Kevin Federline were not immediately returned.

The nine-page ruling said the 25-year-old singer could have overnight visits with her children -- something she had been seeking. She will get two visits a week from noon to 7pm and one from noon to 10am the next day. All the visits will be monitored.

The order also cited some details of an October 19 report submitted by parenting coach Lisa Hacker about her observations of Britney with Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one.

The report makes it clear that Hacker feels the star "loves her children and the children are bonded" to her, the ruling states.

However, Hacker was concerned that Britney did not seem to have "child-centred" interactions, according to the ruling.

During all three of her visits, Britney "rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play", Hacker said in her report. 

Britney seeks custody fight change - Oct 31 2007

Britney Spears wants to change a court requirement that she undergo random drug testing in her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The troubled pop star filed a request in Los Angeles to "terminate or modify" the order, according to papers released by the court.

Additional details were not disclosed.

The request was lodged last Friday, the same day Britney and her aspiring rapper ex K-Fed appeared in court for a closed-door hearing in the custody case.

The singer has also asked the court to reinstate her overnight visits with her two sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one.

A ruling in the matter is expected later this week.

Britney’s new album, Blackout, is out this week, while her comeback track Gimme More is currently at No 6 in the UK singles chart.

Her 2007 music revival got off to a bad start when her performance at the MTV VMAs earlier this year was slated.

Britney waits for custody decision - Oct 29 2007
A bid by Britney Spears for custody of her two young sons has been put on hold by a US court commissioner after a three-hour closed hearing, a lawyer for her ex-husband Kevin Federline said.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon was expected to issue a written ruling by next Tuesday after hearing extensive testimony on a number of issues in the case, lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said.

Attorney Sorrell Trope, who represents Spears, said "something has changed, but I can’t say what".

He said Spears was pleased, but he declined further comment.

Each parent will have a day with the boys this weekend, Kaplan said during a news conference after the hearing.

Gordon had previously said there was evidence that pop singer Spears is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of drugs and alcohol, withdrew approval for her to even visit the children after finding she had failed to comply with some conditions for shared custody.

He later withdrew the ban and allowed her to visit Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one - but only in the presence of a court-approved monitor.

Hours earlier, Spears arrived at the courthouse in her white Mercedes-Benz convertible and giggled when asked by reporters outside the courtroom if she was nervous.

Wearing a black print dress and cowgirl boots, she was escorted by sheriff’s deputies. Federline, who arrived a few minutes after Spears, wore a grey pinstriped suit.

Both were under court order to attend the proceedings.

Biography

Born in December 1981 Britney Jean Spears shot to fame in a blaze of pigtails and knee high socks in 1998 with her debut single Baby One More Time. Just seventeen years old Britney quickly became the biggest name in pop following up her success with Oops, I Did It Again, Lucky and Stronger as well as two albums, also called Baby One More Time. However, this wasn?t the first time Britney had tasted fame, she had started her career in American Saturday morning TV?s Mickey Mouse Club alongside pop rival Christina Aguliera and boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.

The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.

Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
