What Made the Hoff Cry on Idol

David Hasselhoff got a lot of crap for crying on "American Idol" two seasons ago -- but yesterday he told TMZ why it happened, and it's not as cheesy as it looked.


Though maybe it was a little bit TMI.

Just goes to show how one should never jump to any conclusions. God knows there are enough rumors floating around about very innocent people and incidents!

That was very sweet and a touching story. He was kind enough to share it with you, TMZ and all of us. Makes up for that disgusting hamburger scene. Well-------almost, chuckles and cheers to you.

guess who:  1424 days ago

There's no way to verify, but I will give the drunken cheeseburger the benefit of a doubt.

He is still the biggest jerk on three legs.

I'm just as likely as the next guy to say that the Hoff is cheesy as all Hell, but I have to give him credit: that was honest, heart-felt, sincere and somewhat gracious. Scores some big points for me.

You ASKED the guy; he told you, but it's TMI for TMZ. I'm not a fan of the Hoff's but you guys at TMZ are looking to rip apart everything in your line of vision.
