I get so sad when custody battles become media merriment. Divorce is hard enough on kids without having Mommy and Daddy’s dirt leaked all over the TV and internet.I suppose it’s good new then that David Hasselhoff and his ex-wife have agreed to share custody of their teenage daughters and reached a financial settlement, ending months of bitter wrangling played out in the celebrity media.However it’s still unsettling that “The Hoff” was originally granted full custody way back when this tape of him drunkenly eating a burger topless was released.
