BAYWATCH - HASSELHOFF FILES FOR DIVORCE

Former BAYWATCH hunk DAVID HASSELHOFF has filed for divorce from his wife of 16 years, PAMELA BACH.

The muscle-bound actor cited "irreconcilable differences" at a Los Angeles court yesterday (12JAN06), but his publicist JUDY KATZ insists the pair remain on good terms.

She says, "The couple have agreed to an amicable settlement."

Hasselhoff and Bach starred alongside each other in cult beach TV show Baywatch, as well as episodes of KNIGHT RIDER.

They wed in December 1989 and have two daughters, TAYLOR-ANN, 15, and HAYLEY, 13.
