Hasselhoff Eyes a Hospital Visit

Actor checks into UCLA to get restitched after surgical wound opens up; he's fine, per his publicist

This trip to the hospital had David Hasselhoff in stitches.

The former Baywatch star checked into UCLA Medical Center Saturday to get patched up after a surgical wound above his eye reopened.

While the use of Hoff and hospital in the same sentence tends to spark speculation, especially considering he was briefly laid up in October after falling off the wagon, the actor’s rep, Judy Katz, assured that he's fine and would be leaving the hospital by Tuesday morning at the latest.

"David is fine," she said. "He had a procedure to remove something from the top of his eye last week and it started to bleed, so he was taken to the hospital."

The star of the upcoming Anaconda 3: The Offspring, a Sci Fi Channel movie event, will just have to put off that years-in-the-making divorce-settlement celebration until later this week.

Also on tap for Hasselhoff is a third season of sitting in judgment on America’s Got Talent, which premieres June 24 on NBC.
