Not only will we have to get used to watching “American Idol” without seeing Paula Abdul at the judge’s table, now we will have to get used to “America’s Got Talent” without David Hasselhoff.
Hasselhoff announced he is leaving the show after four seasons.
NBC executives released a public saying Hasselhoff has “been an integral part of the success of America’s Got Talent, and we are sad to see him go. We wish him all the best with his new show.”
No word yet on who his replacement will be when the fifth season airs this summer. His fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan will remain on the show.
David Hasselhoff said he wasn’t drunk
“Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff was rushed to the hospital Sunday, according to TMZ.
Hasselhoff’s daughter said he appeared to bey drunk, and she became alarmed and notified authorities.
Emergency workers arrived at his home in Encino, California. He was taken to the hospital, but he was released shortly afterward.
However, Hasselhoff’s representatives say he wasn’t drunk. According to TMZ, the reps said he was treated for an ear infection.
The prescription drugs he was taking for the ear infection along with a prescription drug that treats his alcoholism caused his equilibrium to be off balance.
Hasselhoff was a recovering alcoholic who battled the bottled during the past several years.
