Hasselhoff regains access to daughters

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor David Hasselhoff is reported to have regained access to his two teenage daughters after a court suspended his visitation rights pending review of a video believed made by one of the girls showing him drunk.

The syndicated celebrity TV show "Access Hollywood" said that the former "Baywatch" star, who admits he is a recovering alcoholic, had entered into a temporary custody arrangement with his ex-wife, Pamela Bach, following a ruling in family court on Monday.

While a judge put a gag order into effect, a source close to the case told "Access Hollywood" that Hasselhoff will have custody of his two children on Tuesday and Thursday, while Bach will have the girls on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A Los Angeles judge suspended Hasselhoff's visitation rights with daughters Taylor Ann, 16, and Hayley, 14, on May 7 after a video emerged publicly showing the actor lying on the floor drunk, struggling to eat a hamburger, being scolded by one of his daughters.

The actor's lawyer refused to comment to reporters outside the court on Monday, but Hasselhoff, 54, seemed relieved.

"It went very well, the truth was told, and I can't say any more," the City News Service in Los Angeles reported Hasselhoff as saying.
