New York: David Hasselhoff, Courtney Love and Jon Gosselin have apparently topped the 2009 list of bad parents.

Other parents who have been in the news for their bad parenting include Lindsay Lohan`s father, Michael, released their private phone chats. Courtney Love lost custody of her daughter, while Jon and Kate Gosselin`s dirty divorce got some bad publicity for their kids. Another parent who has been seen in bad light is `Octomom` Nadya Suleman for cashing in on her kids. ANI
