Friday Hoff: Something Fishy
Former "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in a freak accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said Friday. The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said. [source]It was David Hasselhoff in the locker room with the chandelier!
This is like the time Lindsay Lohan was preparing breakfast with eggs and everything that she was going up the stairs carrying a ceramic teacup. She had just come out of the shower so she was still wet and had some lotion on and she completely slipped on the stairs since it was slippery. The teacup went flying, it shattered and one of the pieces cut Lindsay forcing her to go to the ER. Remember that?
I read the Hoff story to my father and he said, "That story isn't true." So I asked him what he thought happened and he said, "I think he was in the locker room with George Michael..." Not a bad response for a 54 year-old straight guy. He secretly watches E! at night. Anyway, the gossip blogger in me wants to say that something more happened because the story is just plain crazy. Here's why the human in me (yes, there's human in me) believes this could happen…drumroll: I accidentally superglued my eye shut trying to fix an acrylic nail while talking on the phone. They had to cut off my eyelashes and slice my eye back open then scrape the contact off my eye because it was superglued to my eye. The crazy glue went crazy and just squirted in my eye (think of the almost-empty ketchup bottle effect). I ended up spending the night in the hospital on morphine and had to wear an eye patch for a few weeks. That story never gets old. The words "freak accident" and "David Hasselhoff" in the same sentence makes me laugh hysterically. Out loud. Non-stop. I never knew that until now.
