You know what Britney Spears has to do if she wants to keep her kids? No, not try to wear a pair of knickers for once in her effing life - although that'd be a start - instead, Britney Spears has to undergo random drug testing.

According to the judge in the Britney Spears/ Kevin Federline custody bitchfight over their two young children, Britney Spears is a "habitual, frequent, and continuous" abuser of both drugs and alcohol, and if Britney Spears is serious about keeping her children, she'll need to submit herself to random drug tests to ensure that she's keeping her nose clean. "Huh?" you're probably thinking, "If Britney Spears is on drugs then why doesn't the judge immediately hand custody over to Kevin Federline?" And the answer to that is simple - because he's Kevin sodding Federline. Seriously, Britney Spears would need to set one of her babies on fire and throw it out of an aeroplane to make Kevin Federline even look like a halfway suitable custody prospect.

Usually, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences demonstrates a certain amount of contempt for television by awarding Emmys to people and shows that died creatively years ago, former favorites that the public no longer even knows are on.

The Academy mostly avoided that this year; statues were awarded, for example, to America Ferrara for the campy ABC dramedy “Ugly Betty,” and to Ricky Gervais for his droll HBO series “Extras.” But its members also awarded James Spader his third consecutive win for “Boston Legal,” last season’s 48^th-most-popular series, and gave a quasi-honorary final-season win to “The Sopranos” as best drama.

However, the 59^th annual primetime Emmys were not really about honoring great television, opening instead with a musical number that set a tone for the evening and communicated a message that built off of last year’s orgy of self-deprecation.

So he wasn't elected president. Big deal. How many other presidential candidates have an Emmy and an Oscar sitting on the shelf at home?

Former Vice President Al Gore took home an Emmy Sunday night for creative achievement in interactive television for Current TV, his youth-oriented television channel.

"We are trying to open up the television medium so that viewers can help them make television and join the conversation of democracy and reclaim American democracy by talking about the choices we have to make," Gore said as he accepted the award.

Current TV reaches about 40 million homes in the United States.

Earlier this year, Gore received an Oscar for his global-warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

BRITNEY spears could lose custody of her two sons within in the next 24 hours thanks to a Los Angeles attorney bringing a "secret" witness to court for the custody battle between the troubled pop star and ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The witness, whose declaration has already served as testimony, will appear at the closed hearing case at Los Angeles County Superior Court with Ms Allred at 8.30am ( 11.30pm AEST).
