Seriously, I totally feel for this guy. I mean, he’s never hurt anybody–as far as I know. And ever since we met that one time that I was waiting for the elevator and the door opened and there he was standing inside, as big as a house and asked me, “Going up?” and I shook my head, “No,” I feel as if we share a special sort of kinship. Even though David Hasselhoff is giving a big thumbs-up in this picture, things aren’t all A-OK with the “Baywatch” star. Bless his heart, the National Enquirer is reporting that he’s relapsed on a drinking binge and has been admitted to the Cedar Sinai Medical center to begin a rehabilitation program. Their source revealed:

“He looked awful when they brought him in.”

“His color was ashen. He felt sick. It was just so sad.”

As for the Hoff, his rep gave an official statement on the situation to TMZ:

“David had a brief relapse and immediately recognized the importance of addressing it with the assistance of his doctors. He is doing fine and will be back home in the morning.”

I also just read that David had been in Romania shooting “Anaconda 3.” And now, I think I understand why he’s been drinking.
