Another week, another alcohol-related incident involving David Hasselhoff. The 57-year-old Knight Rider star -- after days of hard drinking at his St Martin's Lane Hotel in London, England -- accidentally hit a doctor called up to help him, and had to be taken to a rehab unit at nearby Capio Nightingale Hospital.

Hasselhoff, the UK Sun reported, was in England for Simon Cowell's birthday party last Saturday, and was so hammered he had to be escorted out of the hotel via a side door.
