There are countless websites devoted to
David Hasselhoff, most of them German, and many more ridiculing him. This isn't one of them, but I'll at least spend a post doing so.
Dave just recently filed for divorce from his wife
Pamela Bach, a union which lasted 16 years which in Hollywood terms is an eternity!
After his popularity wained after
Baywatch and the realisation that only Germans think he has singing talent,
Hasselhoff went on a spree of substance abuse, hitting "rock bottom" in his own words, in 2002. Said binge occurred after
Hasselhoff checked himself into Betty Ford Clinic in an attempt to quit the booze, but then checked back out after a day of treatment, holed himself up in a hotel in California,and he proceeded to down the contents of his mini-bar.
Following this,
Hasselhoff checked back into rehab to complete his treatment and vowed to stick to an alcohol-free existence. This lasted until June 2004, when he was nabbed for drunk driving after police spotted him behind the wheel, acting as if he expected
KITT to take control of his car at any moment.
Horrifically,
Hasselhoff will have to get his driving skills back up to speed, as he is headed for a starring role in the big-screen adaptation of
Knight Rider, which has been in in the works for some time now. He's is slated to reprise his role of
Michael Knight in the film, which is expected to begin shooting this summer with the aim of a December release date. More on this potential disaster when I get it.
