Hasselhoff Back in the Hospital

You’re like, didn’t I just read this story two weeks ago?  Unfortunately, yes.  David Hasselhoff, who is one of the most agreed-upon celebrities in the world, is nonetheless having some serious alcohol times lately.  He recently took another trip to the hospital:

Staff at the five-star St Martins Lane Hotel manhandled the star to the basement while Ettlinger – said to have a bruised forehead – called for an ambulance.

Hasselhoff was taken to London’s £1,000-a-night Capio Nightingale Hospital, where he spent two nights in a private suite before he was discharged yesterday.

One fellow patient said: “He was recognised immediately. Everyone was thrilled The Hoff had arrived and wanted to meet him.”

Hopefully the experience of dozens of wasted Brits chanting “One of us!  One of us!” as Hoff was wheeled into the drunk ward will scare the guy straight, but it’s hard to see that.  How many sad faces do I have to write here to get you to stop drinking, The Hoff??  I will write as many as it takes.  :-(  Some more details, AtheJ.  

A source close to the star said: “David is very hard to handle when he drinks, often very emotional and aggressive.

“On this occasion he became so drunk he wet his hotel bed – ruining two mattresses – and was becoming a real pain for staff.

“His assistant Joe Townley was so concerned he called out a doctor.

“David was furious and lashed out at him – but mistakenly hit the doctor.

“They decided they had no option but to lock him in the basement until an ambulance arrived.”

Sad news.  And also, f*ck that guy for ratting out Hasselhoff re: hosing the bed.  Friends don’t tell major tabloid newspapers when friends take an Irish bath.
