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.Cantat, the 43-year-old lead singer of one of France's most popular bands, Noir Desir (Black Desire), left the Muret prison near the southwest city of Toulouse in a car driven by his group's drummer, Denis Barthe.The signing appeared to be a response to Yushchenko's tacit endorsement of the so-called Orange coalition. Yushchenko urged the two forces to quickly form a cabinet.The two parties also missed a chance to form the government together following the March 2006 parliamentary election, disappointing supporters.LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pop star Britney Spears turned herself in to be booked on charges stemming from an August fender bender, police said.Together, the parties won 228 seats in the 450-member legislature, Central Election Commission spokesman Konstantin Khivrenko said -- two clear of a majority. The rival party led by Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych won more votes than any other, but it was only enough for 175 seats.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.Her divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned last month as her legal representative after telling reporters the singer "just wants to be a mom."The document, however, had no official force, since a legally binding coalition agreement can only be signed by parliamentary factions after the legislature convenes. No date has been set."We have no time to waste, we have a number of urgent matters on the agenda," Yushchenko told Tymoshenko and the leaders of his bloc, according to the presidential Web site.
