‘HOFF UPDATE: On this story there are only two things that we know, without doubt, are true: (a) David Hasselhoff is going to the “American Idol” finale in Los Angeles tonight with his youngest daughter and (b) attorneys for the Hoff and the ex-Mrs. Hasselhoff (Pamela Bach) were in court this morning. Whether (a) and (b) are connected, we can’t really say for sure.

Someone we know told us that the lawyers went to court to work out some key details in the ongoing custody battle over their two daughters, in advance of a June 1st hearing. According to our source the judge said that David cannot be monitored for alcohol consumption by his employees and that blood tests, which would show if the former Baywatch star had consumed alcohol, will now be administered at random by a nurse who does not work for him.

We are also told the judge gave daughters Hayley (14) and Taylor (17) some latitude in custody/visitation arrangements that are currently in place. If there is a special occasion (like tonight’s All-Star Idol Finale

for example) requiring a change in the visitation schedule then the children have to work out those arrangements with the parents.

So is this what really happened? Hasselhoff’s attorneys told us “none of this is true.” Bach’s attorney has not responded to our call.

But we’re told that Pamela is happy with the outcome of the hearing and that David is “elated.”

DID YOU SEE THAT? ABC’s “The View” proved once again today why it is the Best Show in Daytime when Rosie O’ and Elisabeth Hasselbeck Went At It. What the shouting match was about is convoluted: it had to do with the Iraq War and whether Rosie really thinks our troops are “terrorists” and whether Elisabeth sufficiently defended Rosie against that charge. It was like a political argument over the dinner table at your house. It was heated and it was real. Elisabeth showed that she won’t be beaten down, and Rosie showed that her convictions are deep. Rosie also showed, for better or worse, why she will be missed when she leaves the show in three weeks.
