The National Enquirer reports that David Hasselhoff has been hospitalized after having a drunken relapse. The Hoff’s rep. Judy Katz issued this statement:

"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".

The children have been in ex-wife Pamela Bach’s care for the last six weeks while The Hoff has been out of the country in Romania shooting "Anaconda 3." Mediation is scheduled for Thursday, and this incident may affect custody of the children. The kids might be better off with Richard Simmons adopting them. At least he’d keep them from getting fat, and having low self esteem. Of course then they’d have to start answering questions about why they have two dads.
