After holding talks with the president, Tymoshenko and the leaders of the pro-Yushchenko party signed an agreement that gives Tymoshenko's party the right to name the prime minister -- virtually assuring she would get the post -- and allows Yushchenko's party to name the parliament speaker.The charges resulted from an August 6 incident in which Spears allegedly hit another car in a Studio City, California, parking lot. The paparazzi captured the accident on video.Reports of partying and bad behavior persisted.Spears and Federline have been embroiled in a bitter custody fight over their sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.After her September 9 performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, critics derided her singing and dancing as lackluster and said she appeared overweight for her sequined two-piece costume.The two blocs were central to the 2004 protests against electoral fraud that swept Yushchenko to power in peaceful upheaval known as the Orange Revolution. But the team shattered when he fired Tymoshenko as premier after seven months in office.A court on October 1 ordered Spears to give up custody of her two children to her former husband, Kevin Federline. Last week, a judge set conditions for Spears to gain increased visitation rights.KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- Inspired by President Viktor Yushchenko's tacit endorsement, Ukraine's pro-Western parties moved closer to restoring their Orange Revolution alliance when they signed an informal agreement vowing to form a governing coalition.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."Her divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned last month as her legal representative after telling reporters the singer "just wants to be a mom."
