"We firmly know what to do, we firmly know how, and with which team."In September, a judge ordered Spears, 25, to submit to random drug tests after finding she engaged in "habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol."Final official results from September 30 parliamentary elections were released Monday, confirming that Yushchenko's party and that of former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko won a majority in parliament, giving them the right to form a cabinet.After filing for divorce in November 2006, Spears was frequently seen enjoying Hollywood nightlife, often in the company of "celebutante" Paris Hilton.
