![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
After the famous hamburger incident, David Hasselhoff has emerged victorious in court! He has won temporary custody of his two kids.
The court hearing today was closed -- secret. Hasselhoff went into court stripped of his right to visit with his children in the wake of the burger video. But we're told the judge was stunned by the evidence presented by the court-appointed expert who performed psychological evaluations on the family.
We're told the expert said Pamela Bach, Hasselhoff's ex, was abusive to her kids -- especially Hayley, the younger of the two. The expert also noted that Bach refused drug testing, among many other things.
Bach's lawyer was on the defensive today, unsuccessfully attacking the expert.
Sources say the judge gave David full custody for two weeks, until the next hearing is held. Until then, the kids will live with him.
UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that David Hasselhoff had his custody rights restored after agreeing to alcohol testing. This person did not mention the fact that the judge temporarily stripped Pamela of her custody rights.
TMZ spoke with David Hasselhoff's lawyer, Mel Goldsman, who refused to discuss TMZ's original story and Bach's statements about what happened in court

Thank You #92!!
Even though most of the posts are from last week I just read them for the first time tonight. Finally someone said what I have been saying since I first heard about this supposed "custody battle" "Who fights for custody of a 17 year old?!!" This girl is considered an adult in most states and even where the age of consent is still 18, in a custody case she would still be treated as an adult. You just don't fight over who will take care of someone who is old enough to take care of themselves. Even the 14 year old would probably be allowed to decide with whom she wants to live. These girls are almost women, certainly not babies the whole thing just doesn't make any sense. Maybe David and Pamela just want to hurt each other and they figure this is the only way they can. I think the girls might be better off just living on their own, or maybe with another family member until they are a little older. Otherwise, I think they would be better off with David, as long as he stays sober he is a pretty good guy. Whereas Pamela for some reason I just get the feeling that the bad things that are said about her are true. I mean if you have nothing to hide why would you refuse to take a drug test?
Poor Kids! They always have to suffer. I think both parents are twits.
WAY 2 GO DAVEY..................I'M DRUNK RIGHT NOW................COME ON OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justice prevails! I saw his ex on Larry King a couple of weeks ago - that woman is whacked out on something!
But it won't last long, There will be a long and stupid custody battle.
