Child visitation rights restored for Hasselhoff

A judge has restored David Hasselhoff's right to visit his two teenage daughters after that access was suspended over a videotape showing the recovering alcoholic apparently intoxicated, an attorney for the actor said Monday.

Lawyer Melvin Goldsman made the disclosure before the start of a closed-door court hearing concerning the videotape and related issues.

Hasselhoff, 54, and his former wife, Pamela Bach, 43, both attended the hearing but neither provided details after it ended.

“It went very well, the truth was told, and I can't say any more,” Hasselhoff said outside court.

Goldsman said the suspension order had been lifted Friday after being implemented on May 7 by Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas. The two-week suspension had been set to expire Monday.

Goldsman declined to elaborate on Monday's hearing.

‘Break' actor Garrison guilty in fatal crash

Former “Prison Break” actor Lane Garrison pleaded guilty Monday to vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving in a crash last year that killed a teenage passenger.

Garrison, 26, faces up to up to six years and eight months in state prison when he is sentenced in August. He remains free on $100,000 bail. He was driving a 2001 Land Rover on Dec. 2 when he lost control and rammed a tree. The crash killed Vahagn Setian, 17, a Beverly Hills High School student. Two other passengers, both 15-year-old girls, survived. Setian's family said in a statement that they support the prosecution recommendation that Garrison serve time in state prison.

Garrison had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police. He pleaded guilty in Los Angeles County Superior Court to one count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, one count of driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher and a misdemeanor of providing alcohol to a minor.

Parton benefit raises $500,000 for new hospital

Dolly Parton told thousands of fans at a benefit concert that she wasn't as important as her cause - a new hospital for her native Sevier County.

Tickets for the Sunday show at Smokies Park ranged from $33 to $150. The estimated $500,000 raised will go to a new Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center, cancer center and medical office.

Thanking the audience for spending “all that money,” Parton said: “I ain't worth it, but the folks in Sevier County are.”

Parton's Dollywood theme park and Dixie Stampede dinner theater also pledged $250,000 each to the $110 million project, which broke ground Monday. It is expected to open in late 2009.
