Q&A: David Hasselhoff on his reality, sobriety and ‘Dancing with the Stars’

From The Washington Post – Thanks to Hayley Munday for the tip

David Hasselhoff is sick of overzealous paparazzi, over-blown media reports and downright gossip. So, like any self-respecting celeb, he’s gone out and landed himself a reality show.

On Sunday, A&E airs the first show of “The Hasselhoffs,” a 10-episode look at Hasselhoff’s life as a single dad and at his two teenaged daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley, as they try to make their own mark in the music business.

The former “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider” star has had a rough few years. In 2006, he filed for divorce from then-wife Pamela Bach. The same year, he severed a tendon in his right arm while shaving in a London hotel. In 2007, video of a drunk Hasselhoff eating a burger and listening to his daughter beg him not to drink surfaced on YouTube. Then between 2009 and 2010, Hasselhoff was allegedly rushed to the hospital three times after drinking binges.
