The suspension is effective until a hearing set for May 21, but Hasselhoff will be allowed unmonitored and unlimited phone calls with his two teenage daughters, "Extra" said.

Debra Opri, a lawyer for the "Baywatch" star's ex-wife, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, said she was very pleased with the decision.

Hasselhoff's attorney, Mel Goldsman, said he was confident the judge will change his mind after a court-appointed doctor interviews all parties in the matter.

Bach-Hasselhoff broke down in an interview with "Inside Edition" about her ex-husband's drunken antics on a video that was widely circulated last week. The video shows Hasselhoff, apparently inebriated, eating a hamburger off the floor.

It was reportedly made by the "Baywatch" actor's 16-year-old daughter.

Bach-Hasselhoff told "Inside Edition" she's seen the tape but had to turn if off.

"I lived it," she said.

She denied Hasselhoff's allegation she has problems too. She said her addiction was "David," and she's trying to work on that.
