GETTING HOFF OF EVERYTHING

The bitter divorce between David Hasselhoff and his Pamela Bach has now been settled, with both parties claiming victory, though as the details emerge it appears that David is the ultimate winner as he gets the world rights to the word "Hoff" and the phrase "Don't Hassle The Hoff" which probably means Holy Moly owes him about three dollars right now.

Quite what Pamela would have done with such intellectual property is anyone's guess, and it was other (more house-like) property in which she was interested. They have to spilt their home in California 50/50 (a bit like a couple on 'Bullseye' spiltting a fitted kitchen), while Pamela gets a two-year-old car and one which was first on the forecourt in 1999. Bet's she's delighted!

David will also have to pay his ex-wife $21,000 per in month in support, while she also gets half the checking account. The real loss for Pamela is that she will no longer be able to bask in the beatific spell of the Hoff's (another three dollars gone) presence.

TMZ.com have supplied the full settlement here.

No mention of the talking electronic car, but David does get to keep such musical magic as 'I Want To Move My Body' and 'Time For Lovin' which is a relief for music lovers everywhere.
