High on believin'

[click to embiggen]

Oh wow! As we wallow in the ongoing heatwave across the UK (temperatures are due to hit 87F/31C today - and 97F/36C tomorrow and Tuesday!), there is even more reason to celebrate - for none other than the uber-talented David Hasselhoff is 70 years old today.

All hail The Hoff! - the man who (according to him, anyhow) played a major part in the fall of the Berlin Wall, and whose career surpassed Baywatch and Knight Rider to reach the dizzying heights of cinematic glory with the likes of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Ted 2, Kickin' It Old Skool and Piranha 3DD...

...and this masterpiece!

David Hasselhoff - Hooked On A Feeling

Many happy returns, David Michael Hasselhoff (born 17th July 1952)

A Hoff milestone

Just time to send our hearty best wishes to that towering talent Mr David Hasselhoff - pivotal influence in the fall of the Berlin Wall, classically-trained actor, talent show judge, panto star and musician par exellence - who celebrated his 60th birthday today!

I make no excuses for featuring this all-time classic again to mark this milestone:

David Hasselhoff - Hooked On A Feeling

We can only genuflect at the feet of such artistry.

All hail The Hoff!

The Hoff battles with his enormous snake

Oh good grief!

As if all this blah about remakes and sequels wasn't bad enough [apparently someone is planning to remake Ab Fab, and talk about the Brideshead Revisited film is causing all around us to bleed from the ears...], now there is apparently a third sequel to possibly the most stupid horror film ever made, Anaconda, starring none other than that walking parody David Hasselhoff!

See a clip of this masterpiece here courtesy of MTV Movies Blog.

But as we all know, "The Hoff" has far greater talents than this straight-to-DVD movie could ever hope to expose, so here is another chance to catch what is possibly his greatest audio and video moment:

The Hoff in "something removed" shock horror

Former Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff is doing well after having "something removed" above his eye on Saturday, his publicist has confirmed.

Well, obviously it couldn't possibly be a brain, nor a personality, so I wonder what on earth it was...? Maybe it was his curly perm...
