David Hasselhoff Interview for 'America's Got Talent'
"I'm looking to buy a castle -- I'll call it the Hassel Castle." David Hasselhoff has long been a protector of innocents.
On 'Knight Rider,' he saved them from crime, on 'Baywatch,' he rescued them from water and as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' (Tuesdays at 9PM ET) he shields them from colleague Piers Morgan's cruel barbs.
AOL TV chatted with The Hoff about the third season of NBC's grab bag reality competition, his upcoming album and whether a reunion with KITT lies down the road.
Buy Pamela Anderson's stuff
The looks like the United States recession (I assure you we're in one) has even hit Pamela Anderson. The former Baywatch star is having a garage sale at her Malibu home.With the assistance of Helping Hand Estate Sale Service, Anderson will be selling "5,000 square feet of beautiful vintage country French furniture" as well as other items she's accumulated over the years.
I would be curious about what else the Anderson estate would put up for grabs. It's a good thing the garage sale is in Malibu, as I don't think other neighborhoods could afford Pamela Anderson's stuff.
I'm not sure what the other items are, but I'm wondering if they include an extraordinary amount of vintage silicon. Maybe she's going to auction off some vintage rock stars as well. Pamela Anderson herself is starting to be considered vintage.
The big question is: if you could own a piece of Pamela Anderson, what piece would it be?
Simpsons vs. Baywatch in Venezuela: Baywatch wins
I guess if Venezuela had a choice, it would be David Hasselhoff over Homer Simpson. A Venezuelan TV channel has yanked episodes of The Simpsons from their network with the reasoning that the show is "inappropriate for children." It's replacement? Baywatch: Hawaii.The show was being broadcast at 11 A.M. daily. My first question is: shouldn't the kids be in school in the first place? Granted, I'm unaware of how the Venezuelan school system works. Probably not very well if the kids are home at 11 A.M.
Pam Anderson does nude show in Paris
Pamela Anderson is taking it off. Okay, so that's not anything new. Basically, the whole world has seen this Baywatch babe's goodies. However, if you wanted to see her goodies LIVE you could go to Paris next week. Reuters is reporting that Anderson will do a nude revue in France at the famous Crazy Horse cabaret. The actress will do a striptease on a Harley Davidson, a piece choreographed especially for her by the Crazy Horse. However, according to FoxNews.com, Anderson will be dancing to a song called "Harley Davidson" by Serge Gainsbourg. Maybe it's just both. The song. The Harley. The Pamela.
Fox also reports that it is not settled yet as to whether Anderson will be nude on stage. But, it's not like she's a bashful girl.
While Pamela Anderson has been performing in magic show stateside, this will be her first European stage performance. She is doing four shows on February 13th and 14th.
Pam Anderson puts the brakes on reality show
It looks like the proposed Pam Anderson/Rick Solomon reality show is off the tables. Apparently, according to the NY Post, Pam actually thought producers were approaching her to do a show about her being in a big Vegas productions and not about her purported rampant sex life. On her site she says she "WAS considering" it but "not my family life. (Never my kids)."
Come on, Pam. Remember why you're famous. Playboy, running on the beach in slow motion, a special little love video you made with Tommy Lee. You think anyone really cares about that Vegas show crap? How funny that sources were saying "Think Nick and Jessica's show, but with a lot more sex and a crazier family life" while Pam was thinking "not my family life. (Never my kids)." Did they already start filming? Did she not notice cameras in her house? "Oh don't worry, Pam, we're not filming right now, just testing the lighting. Would you mind rolling over to this side of the bed? That's great, now drop the sheet down a bit. Yeah, that's perfect ... for the lighting."

Shocking News: David Hasselhoff has a book to promote!
I thought there was something fishy about this David Hasselhoff drunk tape nonsense. It smelled of publicity to me, though why anyone would want to be filmed drunk and slobbering over a cheeseburger and potentially hurt his relations with his family is a mystery.
But guess what? The Hoff has an autobiography coming out May 15! I'm sure it's just a coincidence though.
The title, by the way, is Don't HassleThe Hoff. Jeez, it's one thing for others to call you "The Hoff," but calling yourself that? The book has a lot of (supposedly) juicy details, including Hasselhoff's revelation that he knows that Baywatch was a sexist show. The above link includes an excerpt from the book.

Hasselhoff to be lost in the jungle?
Rumors are circulating that former Baywatch star and guy who has trouble at airports David Hasselhoff will be one of the castaways in the British reality show I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Producers are offering The Hoff (as he's been called by many people, including himself) 300,000 pounds to be on the show.
Naomi Campbell might also be on the show, though she's going through her own troubles right now, so who knows if this is real or complete nonsense. Though a reality show with both David Hasselhoff and Naomi Campbell might be kind of awesome. The show starts in two weeks.

Hoff hassled at Heathrow Airport
I'm not sure how TMZ.com gets all these videos. I think they must have a reporter assigned to every celebrity in the world.
Here's video of America's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff being wheeled around the Heathrow Airport. Supposedly, the Hoffster (Hoffmeister?) was drunk (witnesses say drunk, his publicist says "pain medication") when he showed up for a flight and was denied entry to the flight. There's no sound to the video, so it looks like it's video after the incident. All we see is Hasselhoff sitting on the little cart backwards, talking to reporters, holding his wrist. You can maybe add your own music to the video. I suggest something classical and light.
Didn't Hasselhoff say just the other day that he doesn't drink anymore? America's got intoxicated talent.
Hasselhoff plots his next move
David Hasselhoff's star is rising again and he knows it. He tells Newsweek that the current hit show, America's Got Talent, is not his "cup of tea". He signed on to one season and he hints that is all he'll do. Hasselhoff (who may or may not have dubbed himself "The Hoff") says that Simon Cowell talked him into the judging job. He reveals that he'd really like to get a gig on a sitcom or get his own show. He suggests, Travels with The Hoff.Okay, I have to admit that I would be curious to see this purported mania over Hasselhoff in Europe but the celeb-reality genre is so tired. What about a talk show? He should be the next member of The View!

Get in Hasselhoff's car
Paul Goebel mentioned this David Hasselhoff video on his podcast, and I must say it really continues the singer's long-standing tradition of pushing greenscreen effects to their very limits. The song is called "Get In My Car" and it uses the same "let's cram an entire conversation into a song rather than write lyrics" approach to songwriting that earlier brought us such gems as Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light." Hasselhoff has never been above a bit of self-deprecation, and this video makes references to both Knigt Rider (he drives KITT throughout the video) and Baywatch. Also, his backup singers call him "gay," a rumor I wasn't aware of, but apparently he wants that spread around, so you know, everybody get on that. The song really does sound like it's being made up as they go along. I'm guessing it could have been a ten-minute epic if they allowed, eventually devolving into Hasselhoff and his passenger talking about mundane things like air freshneners and unopened packets of ketchup in the ashtray. Watch the video after the jump.Three tidbits about Pamela Anderson in one post
First of all, she's getting married to Kid Rock. The couple had been engaged once before, but apparently the on and off romance is finally on for good. Also, according to this CBS article, "Anderson was married to Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee on Feb. 19, 1995, and divorced Feb. 28, 1988." To those who doubt the intelligence of our lady Pammy, I ask you just how it was she was able to go back in time and divorce someone seven years before she even married them. Even Stephen Hawking hasn't been able to accomplish that.
Speaking of Tommy Lee, he refuses to sign copes of the sex tape he and Anderson made, because he's still upset about the fact that they were leaked. He says, "everybody assumes that it didn't really get stolen, that we put it out and made millions of dollars, like retarded geniuses. Who would do that?" Frankly, I think Lee is exaggerating just a tad, because the last I checked retarded genius don't make nearly that much money. I hired one for my nephew's birthday party, and it only cost me about fifty bucks for three hours, plus tips.
Lastly, Pam will be donning her red swimsuit once again for a cameo role in the upcoming Baywatch movie, which is being produced by horror director Eli Roth for some reason.
Knight Rider just says no to Hasselhoff
After the release of Dukes of Hazzard and the big-screen adaptations of Dallas and Miami Vice already in the works, perhaps you started thinking to yourself, "They should make Knight Rider a full-length feature." If so, you should probably start watching some television that isn't pushing 20 years. But still, you're in luck 'cause the Weinsteins have picked it up for some sweet ex-cop/talking Trans-Am action. Unfortunately for David Hasselhoff fans, this is yet another no-show (he's not included in the upcoming Baywatch movie either). As long as they bring Mr. Feeny back to voice KITT, I'll keep my protesting to a minimum.TV Squad Hot Topics
