LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - David Hasselhoff was banned from a plane for being too drunk. The 'Baywatch' star, nicknamed The Hoff, turned up intoxicated to London's H eathrow airport at 7am yesterday (26.07.06), and then continued to knock back drinks in British Airways' first class lounge as he waited to board his 9.55am flight to Los Angeles. The troubled actor - who recently claimed he had beaten his alcohol problems - ranted to airline staff and VIP passengers about his divorce and moaned, "My life is a mess."
An onlooker said: "He was drinking alone and staring into space, He started ranting incoherently. It was clear he was talking about his wife and the messy divorce. Her was sobbing and nodding his head."
During his drunken stupor the star stumbled into a duty free shop and lifted up the manageress.
Another witness revealed: "The manager said, 'I don't think you're fit to fly, sir.' He told her. 'I think you are right.'"
Onlookers were even more horrified when a dark wet patch appeared around the actor's groin area.
BA staff decided Hasselhoff was unfit to travel and asked him to sleep it off and wait for another flight.
He was finally allowed to board a flight two hours later, but was taken there in a buggy - usually reserved for elderly passengers.
A BA spokesman confirmed: "A male passenger was denied boarding on the BA279 Heathrow to Los Angeles service because he was deemed unfit to travel. He was assessed later and passed fit to fly on BA283.

Peg Bracken, author of "I Try to Behave Myself", wrote of a friend who monitored her own drinking thusly:
"After one drink, I realize what a lovely party it is and what a good time I'm having. After two drinks I start to realize what a wonderful sense of humor all my friends have. After three drinks I start to realize what a wonderful sense of humor I have, and then I know it's time to go home."

LOL! It took six paragraphs to get to the "good stuff"?

Very sad story. At least he wasn't a mean drunk.

Onlookers were even more horrified when a dark wet patch appeared around the actor's groin area. Seriously, WHY did they have to report that? Wasn't he humiliated enough as it was? Now the whole world knows that this happened.

I remember coming home from Army Basic and AIT and having a 2-hour layover with another soldier in the bar in New Orleans International. They were running a special: $1 Corona. Needless to say, we got hammered, but I still made it onboard.

He really didn't do anything wrong and his act's not that rare.

If this guy is knocking back drinks at 7 in the morning he is a alcoholic. No way around it.

I normally can't stand "The Hoff", but he was a real hoot in the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

I'm STILL wondering what makes him competent enough to judge people on America's Most Talented. When has he ever had an eye for talent?
Gay men - I give you.......David Hasselhoff.
