Hoff Hates Being Called Gay

David Hasselhoff (who DEFINITELY didn’t get drunk at Wimbledon) has been slagging off Piers Morgan, former editor of the Daily Mirror. The two starred alongside one another on Cowell’s 'X-Factor' spin-off ‘America’s Got Talent’, but their relationship goes back further. Hoff blames Morgan for propagating tabloid rumours that he was gay during the Baywatch era. Now in a completely sober statement Hoff jeers:

"Piers! Piers is piercing. Piers is rude. All of America hates him because he made a little boy cry on the show. But now that he is a star, I have taught him that he is fair game because of all the crap he used to write about us. Welcome to our world, Piersy, pal. I am going to tell everyone that he is gay and see how he likes it."

I’ll bet Piersy pal enjoyed being ‘taught’ by Hoff - although I can’t help thinking that when you’re trying to spread a rumour, it’s probably best not to say: "I am going to tell everyone [insert rumour here]"...
