The singer/actor was admitted to rehab last month amid reports he accidentally hit a doctor during a booze binge. The Hoff has also been hospitalized on two separate occasions this year suffering from alcohol poisoning.

The star now acknowledges he has a drinking problem.

“The problem that I’ve experienced in my own life and some of the stuff that’s been documented about Amy is a universal problem. It’s an illness. You don’t wake up in the morning and decide to have this problem.”

David is discussion on a deal to star in his own A&E reality show with teen daughters, Hayley and Taylor, TMZ reported on Monday.

“We are discussing a possibility of doing a documentary series with David and his kids,” an A&E rep confirmed this afternoon. Guess that means lots of drunk-dialing and trips to the ER are on the way…..

News of a Hasselhoff reality series first hit the blogosphere last week, when the actor’s youngest daughter, Hayley, Tweeted the following post on the popular micro-blogging site: “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E ….. Get readdyy for it.”

The Tweet is no longer live on her page.

INF Events

Early Monday, TMZ reported that actor and America’s Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff was being treated in a Los Angeles-area hospital after a night of druken antics left him ill with alcohol poisoning. The site now claims that David was being treated by his family doctor for an ear infection — and was taking Antivert for vertigo caused by the ear problem. He was also taking Antabuse, an oral prescription that prevents alcoholics from drinking. The combination of drugs messed up his equilibrium, which caused him to visit the emergency room.

He was released from the hospital one hour after being admitted.

On Sunday, the actor’s 17-year-old daughter Hayley discovered the Knight Rider star “extremely drunk” in the family’s Encino, California home and immediately called her mother Pamela — who went through a nasty divorce with The Hoff several years ago.

Pamela called paramedics, who arrived at the property and transported Hasselhoff to the hospital, where he is still undergoing treatment.

The star’s addiction to alchohol was first exposed in 2007, when home video footage of the star in a drunken state and eating hamburger off the floor leaked onto the internet. In 2007, Hasselhoff was alleged hospitalized with alcohol poisoning, although his spokesperson dismissed the reports, insisting the incident was not serious.

“He acts, he sings, he dances and he also talks a lot on this show. With a Hofftastic performance of ‘Feelin’ Good,’ give it up for David Hasselhoff!” host Nick Cannon gushed before inviting The Hoff to the stage.

The Hoff is not boozing again, Thank You Very Much. On Monday, David Hasselhoff blasted claims that he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night with a blood alcohol level tetering nearing .39.

According to reports, The Hoff had to be rushed to the emergency room after his 16-year-old daughter Haley discovered him unconscious and suffering from alcohol poisoning in a bathroom in the family’s Encino mansion. The report also states that it was Pamela Bach, Hoff’s ex-wife, who drove him to the hospital.

Not so, according to The Hoff’s legal team. David’s lawyers, Melvin Goldsman and Marci Levine, have released an exclusive statement to Extra, calling the recent rumors “grossly inaccurate.”

“Mr. Hasselhoff was at no time in the condition described in those stories. Mr. Hasselhoff spoke to his attorneys on Sunday, and was absolutely fine. However, Mr. Hasselhoff is both disturbed and saddened by the fact that a certain individual is disseminating grossly inaccurate stories about him to the press for ulterior motives.”

David Hasselhoff was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital suffering from alcohol poisoning on Saturday night.

Hoff’s 16-year-old daughter, Haley, reportedly found the former Knightrider star unconscious on the floor of the family’s Encino, California home. The teenager called her mother — the actor’s former wife Pamela Bach — and the pair drove him to L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

A source tells RadarOnline: “(Hayley kept) slapping her dad’s face. He was barely breathing when they got him at the hospital. He’s recovering. Pam was his bedside till 4am. This is about the seventh time he’s been taken to a hospital over the last few years with alcohol poisoning.”

Hasselhoff’s problems with alcohol were exposed in 2007 when home video footage of the drunken leaked onto the internet. He is a judge on NBC’s summer reality series America’s Got Talent.

Actor David Hasselhoff performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl featuring Arizona and Brigham Young University at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday. The Hoff’s daughter, Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff, attends Arizona.

David Hasselhoff has launched a social networking site where fans can get together and yammer on about how wonderful he is.

The former Baywatch star rivals Myspace and Facebook with the creation of Hoffspace, an online community which allows guests to build profiles and communicate with fellow Hoff fans.

“I decided to start a network where people from across the world might come together and get a conversation started over me,” David wrote on the official site on Tuesday. “Where it will lead, I don’t know but the world would be a better place if everyone talked a little more to each other…”

Hoffspace features never-before-seen pictures of the TV personality and live streaming Hoff TV. The Hoff Hair Appreciation Society connects fans who love Hoff’s hair and there is even a group for folks who admire the actor’s dog.

“In my travels round the world I have always been surprised that no matter where I go people recognize and know me, from Europe, Australia and India to the Philippines and the Zulu Nation in South Africa. This got me thinking… I realized that while two people from two entirely different countries and backgrounds may seem to have nothing in common, the only thing they might have in common is me….”

Well hello, who has not heard of the Hoff? The Hoff is famous for his roles on Knight Rider and Baywatch and did you know his records oh yes records! were hits in Germany, Austria and Switzerland? He was also the judge on America Got Talent alongside Sharon Osborne and Piers Morgan.

What went wrong?
The Hoff has been on and off the wagon more times then the train driver. In 2002 he went to a rehab center and he was also arrested on more then one occasion for DUI. The Hoff was also forbidden from boarding a British Airways flight due to his intoxication (although his publicist claims he was under the influence of antibiotics, yeah right!).

He divorced his 2nd wife Pamela Bach after 16 years of marriage and she has accused him of violent behavior. But his biggest trainwreck moment so far (and there were many) was a video of him slumped drunk on the floor, eating a hamburger and being obviously pissed as a rat’s arse. Video was shot by his daughter and leaked on the Internet. In October last year he was hospitalized again after suffering a relapse.
