Hasselhoff wins visitation ruling
David Hasselhoff won a court battle Monday that restored his right to visit his two teenage daughters.
Hasselhoff had lost visitation access after a videotape surfaced last month of him attempting to eat a hamburger while severely impaired.
He was starring in “The Producers” at Paris Las Vegas at the time the video was shot by one of his daughters.
The former star of “Baywatch” and his estranged wife, Pamela Bach, both attended the hearing.
BIG MONTH AHEAD
For 13-year-old Brendyn Bell of Henderson, life is about to turn magical.
He’s the cabin boy in the third installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” which comes out this week.
And next month, he shares the stage with Pamela Anderson in Hans Klok‘s “The Beauty of Magic” at Planet Hollywood Theater.
“I told him, ‘It’s OK to cover your eyes and peek,'” his father, Charlie Bell, said Monday, referring to Anderson, who plays Klok’s sexy assistant.
Because of child labor laws, young Bell can work only one of the four days the show is on. The show opens June 3.
ICE STUNT CALLED OFF
Magician Nathan Burton was forced to call off his 24-hour ice stunt after 7 1/2 hours Monday because of concerns over wind gusts and high temperatures.
Burton, who performs at the V Theater, left the 15-ton M-shaped ice structure when wind gusts reached 30 mph and temperatures in the high 90s caused melting at a rate faster than expected.
He was promoting the name change from Desert Passage to the Miracle Mile Shops. The stunt was staged outside the main entrance to Planet Hollywood Resort.
Burton entered the ice formation about 10:45 a.m. accompanied by four showgirls, including reigning Miss Alaska USA Blair Chenoweth.
