Celebrity Justice
Hoff: I Got Full Custody of My Kids

With a colossal smile plastered across his face, David Hasselhoff emerged from a Los Angeles County Superior courtroom moments ago and told our cameras he was awarded primary physical and sole legal custody of his two daughters -- apparently putting an end to one of the most bitter and public custody battles of all time.

After randomly proclaiming today "a beautiful day to go the beach," Hoff told the media, "The judge said today 'enough, enough is enough, these children have been through enough.'" Hoff then discussed his beach plans, and never one to let an opportunity slip through his fingers -- used the attention to plug "America's Got Talent."

Moments after the judge's decision, Hoff's ex-wife Pamela Bach was spotted crying in the hallway. She was overheard telling her lawyer Debra Opri, "What am I gonna say? I just lost my kids." Opri then escorted Bach into the restroom, where they remained for several minutes. A short time later, Bach appeared in front of the media with her game face on -- keeping her composure as she smiled and waved.

62. I had a feeling that Pamela Bach was messed up when it was reported that she tested positive for cocaine. Debra Opri hasn't been successful with any her public clients that I know of: Mrs. Jackson (what did she do for her?), Larry Birkhead and now Ms. Bach. Opri is someone to avoid not, hire at $475.00 per hour.
Hoff has fully admitted and been treated for alcoholism. Part of it is relapsing. It looks like he works hard at improving himself. He obviously loves his daughters very much. The girls are certainly old enough to tell a judge where they'd rather live and whom they feel safest and happiest with. It's not their bizarre, messed up, money grubbing mother. I saw her on Larry King. That broad is screwed up.
I wish the very best for the girls. Their mother seems to need a lot of help. I hope she gets it. Hoff seems to be trying his best. He's in much, much better shape to raise his daughters than Bach.

63. Everywhere I've ever seen David with those girls, it has been clear that he loves them and they him. The ex wife is obviously a psychotic drug user who refused to take a drug test for the judge. Wasn't it just last week that one of the girls asked that David go and get her clothes from the mom's house for her and the mom called the cops on him?? She's crazy. He may drink but the kids obviously want to be with him.

65. Opri is poison, now. Anna Nicole put the curse on her. Uh, oh!

66. I figured the rumors were true about her being addicted to drugs. Opri's stock is beginning to plummet, ain't it?

67. Major Strike Two for Opri...that we know of!!!!!

Opri's career is in the toilet. I wonder whose idea it was to slander Hoff to begin with. That was just wrong. Karma is a bitch!

68. That is awful you do not take a child away from it's mother ? She must have been on drugs ? He is no better drinking and drunk in front of those kids ? There are no winners here ? The kids are going to suffer .

69. She should have gotten a real lawyer. Opri only cares about getting publicity for herself... not for her clients.

72. You would think he was the bad guy by just watching the "drunk, I'm lonely video" shot by his daughter. But did you guys seen her interview on Larry King Live. Can you spell "brian fried". "Man, this woman has issues, major issues!" The lawyer, wow... only I think I can say is... I wish OJ Simpson had hired her when he murdered two innocent people.
