David Hasselhoff was reportedly rushed to an LA hospital after suffering alcohol poisoning on Saturday.

According to RadarOnline.com the former Baywatch star was taken to Cedars-Sinai after his daughter Hayley, 16, found him unconscious on the floor of his home in Encino, California. She called her mother, The Hoff’s estranged wife, Pamela Bach, who lives ten minutes away, and Bach drove him to the hospital.

Reports claim he had a blood alcohol level of .39, five times the legal limit, and was barely breathing.

Hasselhoff’s rep denied the story, saying The Hoff was “fine and well and happy and is celebrating his father’s 80th birthday tonight at dinner.”

With a gallon of martinis.

In October 2008 we reported that David was drinking heavily and his America’s Got Talent cohort, Jerry Springer, had gotten to the point where, if Hasselhoff didn’t stop drinking, he was going to leave the show.

Well, this season Nick Cannon is hosting and The Hoff is taking weekend trips to the hospital for a good ol’ stomach pumping.

This is not going to end well if David doesn’t get some serious help.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
