David Hasselhoff Relapses and Is Hospitalized

Posted Oct 9th 2007 6:10PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has confirmed that David Hasselhoff has been hospitalized, as first reported by the National Enquirer.

Rep Judy Katz tells us that the Hoff did have a relapse and is in the hospital, but is doing fine. In an exclusive statement, Katz tells us "David had a brief relapse and immediately recognized the importance of addressing it with the assistance of his doctors. He is doing fine and will be back home in the morning".

As for how this will affect his custody case, sources say the children had been in ex-wife Pamela Bach's care for the last six weeks as he's been out of the country in Romania shooting "Anaconda 3."

We're told mediation is scheduled for Thursday.

We last saw the Hoff last Thursday night, outside of Koi with one of his daughters.

The hospital is the last place to go to get well - stay home in bed if need be!

Eat organic - filtered water - exercise every day - sleep 7 hours - have fun!

11. He's an alcoholic plain and simple. A recovering alcoholic can always fall off the wagon. These kid's need to be with their mother.

12. Stop glorifying stars who are losers. The press needs to stop the press and stop rewarding bad behavior. The press makes a loser out to be a hero. The public needs to wake up and start banning stars (picketing their movies and cds)...stop watching their tv shows if the star is a LOSER, a drunk, or a druggy. STOP the press and promoting these people. The public needs to wake up. We can change these people's careers and let's all band together and boycot the LOSERS.

15. This really makes me happy (not that he relapsed) but the fact that it makes me realized that money and fame isn't everything. When you have demons is doesn't matter how much money you have, infact having more money makes it easier to access drugs and alcohol. I really like him as an actor and a person too bad i truly hope he recovers and realizes that he's a very lucky person to have all the fame and fortune that he has.
