Hoff Catches a Break
A judge has restored David Hasselhoff’s visitation rights with his two teenage daughters after suspending them for two weeks in the wake of the release of drunken footage of the actor struggling to eat a hamburger. Hasselhoff’s attorney disclosed the development Monday before a closed-door hearing concerning the videotape and other issues. Following the hearing, both the ex-Baywatch star and his ex-wife Pamela Bach said they were happy with the outcome, but were unable to elaborate due to a gag order in the case.


Gone Wild Guy Cops a Feel
Joe Francis is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Los Angeles on a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery stemming from an 18-year-old woman’s allegation that he fondled her breasts, buttocks and inner thigh at a party in January after she asked him not to touch her. The Girls Gone Wild guy, who is due to be extradited from Florida to Nevada to face tax evasion charges this week, is not required to attend the hearing.


Reality Bites
Lieutenant Andy Baldwin popped the question to Tessa Horst, a 26-year-old graduate of Middlebury College, on Monday’s finale of The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman.

Potter-SAN

Not Funny
“I knew I was back in South Australia when the host came up to me, smiled, gave me a bottle of red and said, ‘Welcome to Adelaide Mr. Urban.’ So I drank it. “Recovering alcoholic Keith Urban told concertgoers about being handed a complimentary bottle of red wine by a Qantas flight attendant during a recent flight. The country singer’s manager assured fans he was only joking.


Broadway Desperate for Material
A musical version of The Addams Family is scheduled to hit Broadway during the 2009-2010 season. What’s next, a musical version of The Munsters?


Pulp Sci-fi Retread

Universal Pictures is fast-tracking the project for a 2008 release, per the Hollywood Reporter. No, Jane Fonda will not be in the picture.

Chihuahua Danger
Paula Abdul fell and broke her nose over the weekend while attempting to avoid stepping on one of her Chihuahuas, her rep tells E! News. The injury is not expected to affect her appearances on American Idol this week. It was even too bizarre for Simon to comment about.


When Did He Know It
Robert De Niro filed a motion Friday to dismiss the lawsuit brought against him by the insurance company that covered the production of Hide and Seek, calling the suit “irreparably defective” because it will be impossible to prove that De Niro misrepresented the company when he indicated on a medical certificate that he had never been diagnosed with, or treated for, prostate cancer. The actor maintains that he learned he had the disease two days after he signed the form.
