Hasselhoff Deemed Unfit to Fly

The same day his divorce became final from Pamela Bach, David Hasselhoff was banned from boarding a British Airways flight after showing up to the gate intoxicated, according to The Sun newspaper.

After reportedly downing bottles of beer and shots of whiskey at a first class lounge at Heathrow, British Airways staff told Hasselhoff he was unfit to board the plane, which The Hoff agreed with.

The Sun also says Hasselhoff told the airline staff he was upset about his messy divorce from his wife after 16 years.

A British Airways spokesperson tells TMZ: "A male passenger was denied boarding flight BA279 as he was deemed to be unfit for travel. He was reassessed by British Airways staff and he was accepted for travel on flight BA283, which left two hours later."

Ok, you DO know this is just a stupid celebrity dish forum where people blow off steam about useless crap?

It isn't like everything posted here gets seprinted out and faxed to him. I'm pretty sure he'll be ok no matter what is said here.

And...don't YOU have anything better to do?

63. I was married 16 years, and you didnt see me getting drunk the day of my Divorce.
at least he had the common sense to accept the fact he was drunk and didnt cause a problem not like some other actors, the name Mel comes to mind,

64. Leave the guy alone. If this were anybody else, no one would have cared. He admitted he wasn't flight, accepted to take another flight, and went from there. CASE CLOSED LEAVE IT ALONE. Just because he chose a profession which makes him known to many people (he inspired my cousin to be a life guard and now an EMT, and countless people have him to thank for their lives) doesn't mean that petty news involving him has to be beat to death and be an on going gossip subject for people who's lives are so boring that they have to have SOME ONE ELSE to yak about. --robert c.

65. Medication? Yeah, right. He was bombed. But it's our fault. As long as this country continues to worship its celebrities, people like The Hoff and Mel Gibson will continue to get preferential treatment.

66. Come on media muckrakers...give the "Hoff" a break. If anything he was not a jerk to airport authorities in London. What if it had of been Richard Burton, Peter O' Toole, or even Truman Capote? I don't think people who are going thru a divorce, sit around drinking Mr. Pib's do you? He didn't pull a Gibson ego-tirade, on anyone that I have read about. Bottom line...he's a celebrity....who kept his cool. Oh...I also forgot about Diana Ross....take a note from the "Hoff"...be cool and treat others with some courtesy.

70. The first I heard of any problems with David, that I recall, was the allegations of physical, and verbal abuse by David against his wife. The abuse, true or not, which I tend to believe, because I live with an alcoholic, is why alot of people have changed their views on David. I used to like him years ago, but now you can see he has problems. Getting a divorce was the end result of obvious turmoil with their marriage. It doesnt matter if his wife was a beyoch or not, alcoholism affects everyone, and abuse should never be tolerated. Get help David, you look like a jerk and TV is doing you and the public a dis-service by showing you. Watching "you have talent", sadly shows when you open your mouth your really pretty stupid and whimpy. My image of you has been crushed. You and OJ should have a drink together.

71. People should take what happened with the OJ case seriously. It is a sad state of affairs when more people rallied to OJ's side, then they cared for his factual physical abuse on his wife. Watch out wife of David, he is crazy with rage and an alcoholic. Very bad combination. TV celebrates a celebrity thats abuses women. must be a Disney station.
