Never Mind The Buzzcocks- preview clip
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011Jekyll & Hyde Starring David Hasselhoff Coming to Theaters
Friday, September 23rd, 2011
LONDON – NYC and London-based Supervision Media and New York’s Broadway Worldwide have signed an exclusive multi-year licensing arrangement to bring four hit Broadway musicals to cinema screens across the globe.
The deal covers the 2010 Tony Award winning Best Musical Memphis, currently playing on Broadway, the recorded live-in-performance Direct From Broadway, Jekyll & Hyde: The Musicalstarring David Hasselhoff.
Stephen Sondheim’s Putting It Together, billed as a musical “review” starring Carol Burnett, and Broadway’s longest running musical revue and Grammy Award winner, Smokey Joe’s Cafe: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller.
The quartet will be available to audiences worldwide as they hit cinema screens on every continent, the duo said.
The aim is for Memphis to hit movie screens across the U.K. and Ireland on Nov. 24 with South Africa, Hong Kong and several major European territories to open before the end of the year.
Latin America, Australia and New Zealand will then follow in March 2012.
Smokey Joe, Jekyll and Putting It Together will launch across Europe in January, February and March of next year respectively with the rest of the world following from April 2012.
Memphis is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when the vision of a young white DJ met the voice of an electrifying black singer and the music changed forever.
Hyde sees Hasselhoff make his Broadway debut in the dual title role of an re-working of the classic tale of good and evil.
From producer Cameron Mackintosh, Together is Sondheim’s humorous, poignant and sophisticated musical “review” of material taken from a number of his original musicals.

David Hasselhoff Hosts the Loerie Awards
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
David Hasselhoff hosted the Sunday night leg of the 2011 Loerie Awards in Cape Town, South Africa, much to the delight of the 1,500 people who attended the event at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Chants of “Hoff, Hoff, Hoff” rang out as he introduced himself and the man most famous for his roles in television series like Baywatch and Knight Rider responded with a barrage of “Hoff” jokes.
“I feel ‘Hoffle’ that I can’t stay longer in Cape Town,” he said, before he told the audience about how much he enjoyed visiting Table Mountain with his girlfriend this weekend.
At a media conference after the event, Hasselhoff explained that he saw the Loerie Awards as an excellent opportunity to express himself to a creative audience. “My whole life seems to be ruled by the media – best to kinda embrace it and address the negative media – turn it into truth.” Throughout the event he made light of his career in television as well as some of the scandals he has supposedly been involved in off screen.
Sunday night’s session of the 2011 Loerie Awards paid tribute to the best digital and television brand communication in South Africa. Cape Town featured prominently, both as a film location and as the home of many award winners, such as the team from HelloComputer, who won the Grand Prix award.
Cape Town Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille thoroughly enjoyed the event and said straight afterward: “We want to keep the Loeries in Cape Town.” Loerie Awards CEO Andrew Human said that there are four other destinations competing with Cape Town to host the 2012 Loerie Awards and that a decision will be taken in December this year.

GQ: Interview with David Hasselhoff
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011GQ Magazine interviewed David Hasselhoff recently. Check out this interview.
GQ: So Sons of Anarchy calls and asks you to play a porno bigwig. Your first reaction is…
David Hasselhoff: I hit the hotel button “Adult Movies” and took it from there. Actually, I said, “A porno king? Awesome! I don’t care how big the part is! If it’s one line, give me this role!” I get to say “big cock” on TV. I couldn’t wait. I literally dropped everything in London, changed my whole schedule, jumped on an airplane, and flew back to do the part.
GQ: So does that mean in Sons of Anarchy we’re going to see you in less than your signature Speedo?
David Hasselhoff: I don’t think you’ll see me in my Speedo because I don’t play the star of porn movies. I produce and sell the movies. I get involved with trying to take down another character played by Tom Arnold, who was, at one point, my boss. They’ve already talked about bringing me back; I hope that’s true and I come back to continue the story of my relationship with Tom Arnold and the Sons of Anarchy gang.
GQ: I saw your house on Same Name and I was wondering about that very lifelike David Hasselhoff sculpture you have. What is the story behind that?
David Hasselhoff: It’s from the SpongeBob movie. I played David Hasselhoff. It was an animated movie, and the only human in the movie was me. SpongeBob and Patrick go on an adventure and they end up in Santa Monica. They’re trying to rescue the princess, and they see me running down the beach in slow motion. And they go, “Who are you?” And I say, “I’m David Hasselhoff!” and they say, “Do you have a boat?” And I say, “A boat? Hahahahaha. No, I don’t have a boat. Jump on my back.” So they jump on my back and I swim through the ocean, and they have a fight on my butt. So for that scene they built a 750-pound, 12-foot statue of me to tow through the ocean. It cost $100,000. They made it so incredibly lifelike. It’s down to every little mole, every possible freckle.

The Freshers’ Ball is the main welcome event for new students at Queen’s University.
Vice President for Campaigns and Communications Fiona Kidd at QUB Students’ Union said: “Freshers’ week is crucial for getting to know people in Belfast, it’s a transition period which is daunting but also very exciting.
“We have over 25 events planned to help students get to know each other including a carnival, a Lady Gaga flashmob and local city tours.
“What better way to end Freshers’ Week than with The Hoff, he will be meeting students and I’ve heard he may even sing the Baywatch theme tune.”
Drama student Sarah Mullan said:” I can’t believe the Hoff is coming to Queen’s, it’s going to be huge. This is going to be the best Freshers’ Ball ever.
“I’m not bothered if he sings but hopefully he will turn up in his trademark red swimming shorts, although it might be a bit cold for them.”
The QUB Freshers’ Ball will take place on 28 September.

‘Looking For Freedom’ a World Changer
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
David Hasselhoff’s hit ‘Looking For Freedom’ has been voted as one of the top 10 most “world changing” songs of all time.
The single was judged to rank alongside hits by Public Enemy and Band Aid in a list put together by experts for Time Out magazine.
The Hoff – who became a chart star in Germany – performed the track shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. And it went on to become a symbol of the spread of democracy in eastern Europe.
It was ranked in tenth place for Time Out’s list of 100 songs that changed history, which was topped by Public Enemy’s Fight The Power.
A panel including historians Michael Wood, Bettany Hughes and Dan Cruickshank, alongside promoter Harvey Goldsmith and Suede’s Brett Anderson drew up the top 100.
Public Enemy ‘s Fight the Power came first, followed by Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? which kick-started famine relief in Ethiopia.
Ramy Essam’s Irhal, the anthem of Egyptian protests against President Mubarak, was third, fourth place went to Sam Cooke – A Change Is Gonna Come (1964) – and fifth to John Lennon – Imagine (1971). The Sex Pistols were sixth with God Save The Queen.
