Hasselhoff Injured!
Manolo says, Ayyyyyyyyy!
Former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said Friday.The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said.
Doctors operated to repair the injury and Hasselhoff spent one night at St. Thomas’ Hospital in central London, Katz said.
“He’s fine,” Katz said by phone from New York. “He’s out of the hospital and will resume filming tomorrow.”
The Manolo he has two reactions to this news. First, Thank the Lord that the mighty Hasselhoff was not serious injured.
And second, What athleticism, to be able to bounce his head off the chandelier while shaving!

Sure, Manolo.

Clearly, God is a big fan of the Hoff and therefore preserves him from serious injury. But still….a chandelier accident? okaaaay………

Not only a chandelier accident, but a chandelier accident in a BATHROOM, while shaving!
I have to admit, when I heard of this accident, I immediately thought of The Manolo and how upset he would be.

Damn. Must have been Waterford.

Let me get this straight: the bathroom in the GYM has a chandelier? Are patrons of this hotel supposed to believe this *must* be a first class place if the GYM bathroom has a chandelier? The mere fact that Mr Hasselhoff hit his head on the chandelier probably indicates that said chandelier was not appropriately placed. Will they replace it? Will they re-evaluate the chandelier idea given this injury? I’d like to listen in on the next safety committee meeting at that hotel. (If they don’t have one, they should!)

I’m with the other commenters: how in the heck do you hit your head on a chandelier while shaving? Something sounds off here.

Perhaps it is only my deeply suspicious mind, but this story does not pass the smell test and feels very “Valley of the Dolls,” if you know what I mean, and I think you do. The poor Hasselhoff, forgetting or simply not knowing that he has devoted worshipers like the Manolo, decides to end it all by hanging himself from a crystal chandelier in a gym bathroom, but gets a bit sloppy.
I think it’s time for a personal intervention, Manolo.

This is the kind of ridiculously convoluted emergency-room story usually reserved for people who have mysteriously ended up with items lodged in their lower intestines.

AskMom is simply stunned that the followers of the Manolo could imagine a hidden explanation for the accident. After all, this is the HOFF we are discussing. He may break it up with the patient and faithful wife, he may expose more of the front of the Hoff than is seemly for the man of a certain age, but surely one must grant him this. He’s tall. Light fixture is low. That’s all.

Read your comments on The Hasselhoff and Crocs. Hilariously funny without being seriously mean. Thanks
