Hassel the Hoff for charity tomorrow (Tuesday) for the next challenge on the Celebrity Apprentice Australia! David tweeted he will be at 47 George Street – The Rocks starting at 1pm for a Celebrity Art Auction. He asks for people to take a piece of the Hoff wall. So come on down and support the Save the Children charity and help David win!

The auction features artworks ranging from smaller pieces of Hoff’s smashed-up Berlin Wall to a vanity mirror and an artwork Team Fortune collectively created alongside The Hoff.

Project manager Tania Zaetta has created smaller artworks that reflect her move to India for work while facing a cultural barrier and achieving her dreams in Bollywood.

The Rocks Popup Project takes up residence in temporarily vacant buildings. Painters, sculptors, designers, writers, experimental artists, musicians and even inventors are turning The Rocks into a nucleus of studios, galleries, and event spaces as they breathe new life into familiar surrounds.

Today David Hasselhoff appeared in a motivator type role for Australia’s Celebrity Apprentice as he participated in the celebrity dog wash antics at Sydney Park, Alexandria, in front of an appreciative crowd of almost a thousand (and a few hundred dogs).

The 59-year-old hunk served as the leader of the group straight from the Cremorne’s Orpheum Theatre where they all shot the opening parts of the brand new season of the hit show. The tall American celebrity left everyone somehow starstruck with his presence especially those of the attention of Jason Akermanis and Ian Dickson.

Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Vince Sorrenti appeared to be the most vocal on the megaphone in getting pooch (and Hoff) lovers to part with their hard earned cash. All had to work hard as the celeb dog wash and other doggie activities occurred in 30 something degrees (86 F) heat. Hoff was able to cool off a bit with his young girlfriend and was seen reaching for the sweat rag more than once.  Even Batman and The Joker from DC Comics fame showed up for the fun. On the other side of the park, the women’s team got into the spirit of things too, but Hoff’s team drew the biggest crowd 10:1.

When it comes to what his fellow Apprentice contestants have to say about his fast and unstoppable determination to emerge as the winner of the challenge. Even Ben Dark is willing to serve him coffee if Hasselhoff keeps up with all the energy up to the end.

When quizzed about his favourite breed of dog, Hasselhoff joked “Hoff Dog”, which got a nice reaction from the crowd. His shirt removal appeared to get the biggest pop from the crowd and as you would expect news media and fans focused in on Hoff’s chest.

To their credit, event organisers offered water to the crowd. Police were on hand for the event and its understood things ran smoothly throughout.

Thousands of dollars was raised today but we understand you will have to tune into Channel Nine to find out exactly what the final $ bottom line was.

Dressed in overalls for the task, Hasselhoff and his fellow celebrity contestants were also wearing women’s high heels.

As we told you last night (or early this morning) David was hitting Bondi Beach for a pet grooming service as his first challenge on Australia’s Celebrity Apprentice. If he wins, all the proceeds go to his charity, the Starlight Foundation.

After his breakout role in Knight Rider, David Hasselhoff revived his career as head lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on Baywatch.

And 23 years after he first appeared on the show, he still doesn’t look half bad without his shirt on.

The actor, who turns 60 in July, showed off his toned chest at Bondi Beach in Australia as he filmed scenes for the country’s version of Celebrity Apprentice.

He's still got it: David Hasselhoff, who turns 60 in July, showed off his beach body at Bondi, Australia, as he took a dip while fulfilling his duties for Celebrity Apprentice

Even one of his teammate, Aussie model Nathan Joliffe, complimented the American.

‘He’s not wearing Speedos but looking b***** good if you ask me,’ he told The Telegraph.

He didn’t show any signs of jetlag after the massive flight from London the day before.

David arrived at Sydney airport with his girlfriend, Welsh shop assistant Hayley Roberts, ready to fulfill his duties.

And his first task didn’t look too strenuous.

He was reportedly rounding up props and support for a pet pampering service.

Man of the moment: David drew a massive crowd on Bondi, with onlookers quick to snap photos of the star

What a character: David lets out a scream with a fan as he poses for photos

The father-of-two was seen handing out flyers for an event with two teammates, while riding a quad bike.

But he made time to take a dip in the waves, and was spotted hugging a bikini-clad girl, with Hayley nowhere to be seen.

He eventually put his top on, although his black T-shirt and trousers were probably not a good choice in the scorching weather.

Big heart: Hasselhoff is raising money for his nominated charity, the Starlight Foundation, during the show
