David Hasselhoff is a "falling-down drunk," says his ex-wife. Pamela Bach claims her 16-year marriage to the 56-year-old actor - which ended in 2006 - was put under enormous pressure due to his alcohol addiction.

She said: "David is a falling-down drunk and I covered up for him for years. Alcoholism destroys you whether you are a regular Joe or the biggest star on the planet."

David Hasselhoff wishes more people would take his photograph. The former 'Baywatch' actor enjoys being famous and although he hates being hounded by paparazzi he still loves being in the public spotlight.

He said: "I am blessed. It's a wonderful, wonderful business, except for the paparazzi. But there's also some times when you walk out and you go, 'Gee, I wish somebody would take my picture.'"

David Hasselhoff has been released from the hospital.

The 55-year-old star checked himself into Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center last weekend after an open wound above his eye began bleeding. He had previously had an operation to remove something from the area, but the stitches came loose on Saturday.

David Hasselhoff is reclaiming an ivory tusk and an antique barber's chair from his ex-wife.

The former 'Baywatch' actor has won a court order allowing him back into the family home in Los Angeles to collect possessions from ex-wife Pamela Bach. Among other items the former heartthrob wants to reclaim, are a statue of a dolphin, a model elephant and baseball memorabilia.

Contrary to reports, David Hasselhoff still has issues pending with his ex-wife Pamela Bach. She claims no agreement has been reached on their financial issues including spousal and child support.

The reports stated that the ex-couple had reached a deal on their financial issues on Friday after a lengthy discussion on the division of assets. But an angry Bach rebuffs the tale.
