And the heat is on apparently for an unfortunate divorce proceeding between television star David Hasselhoff and his wife Pamela Bach. Back in the day on Baywatch, Pamela was a frequent guest star at the behest of David. David was also an Executive Producer of the show, as well as a main star. David, always seemed to go out of his way to spot light his wife.

According to news reports, Pamela's court request of a restraining order was denied. Let's hope all family court matters are settled amicably.

And for all of you Electra Anderson columnist fans, she will return.

Oprah wants Teri booked for her show, and so follows a long line of media's 'who's who' all clamoring desperately, for 'Teri time.'
