Chandelier 1, Hasselhoff 0.
In perhaps the most bizarre injury from England since Lindsay Lohan cut herself on a broken teacup in Brian Adams' home, David Hasselhoff has undergone emergency surgery today after a mishap in a London gym bathroom resulted in him severing a tendon in his arm. I know it all sounds very homoerotic in an Al Reynolds sort of way, but apparently this injury was not due to any man-on-man action. Instead, it was the result of an unfortunate chandelier incident. An AP article states, "The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said."

This of course begs many questions: why was there a giant, dangerous chandelier over the sink? And how did The Hoff manage to hit it with his head? Was he shaving with a ladder? And if he were to hit the chandelier, wouldn't he have had to hit it quite hard to cause a virtual downpour of glass shards? What was he doing whilst shaving that caused such an aggressive reaction from the chandelier? Perhaps he was mimicking one of David Beckham's best headers. Or maybe he was reenacting the excitement he displayed upon seeing a 60-year-old stripper on America's Got Talent. Or maybe he was just acting like an idiot.

Either way, we wish him a speedy recovery and hope this shaving/chandelier/possibly-gay-bathhouse injury won't impede his ability to buzz people off the stage with Brandy and Piers. Read the full article here.
