Less than one week after a shirtless, pizza-eating David Hasselhoff drunkenly slurred his way across the internets, comes news that the Baywatch (and, let's face it, Knight Rider) hunk has temporarily lost visitation rights with his 17 year old daughter.

TMZ has learned that a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has suspended David Hasselhoff's right to visit his children in the wake of the videotape showing the actor drunk on his living room floor...

On May 21, the judge will hold a hearing on the videotape and how it will affect Hasselhoff's long-term visitation rights

And while some are calling the court's decision rash, others have applauded it as proof that the American legal system actually works.

Still others have remained neutral on the subject, noting that the Hoff had "definitely put on a few" since his days at the beach, and pointing out that, though the temporary suspension of child custody rights was unfortunate for Hasselhoff, the footage of a drunken, lumbering former television star was, nonetheless, "the best news Alec Baldwin's heard all week."
