David Hasselhoff: Hip Hop Gangsta

According to The Sun, the Frankenstein monster-like David Hasselhoff is about to embark in a new career as a rapper:

"GANGSTA pioneer ICE-T aims to turn DAVID HASSELHOFF into a rap star � by producing the ex-Baywatch actor�s first hip hop album.

"Ice who paved the way for 50 CENT and EMINEM, told me: 'The man is a legend. We are going to show a whole new side of him.'

"The unlikely lads are near neighbours in Los Angeles and have struck up a close friendship.

"Ice is convinced medallion-man Hasselhoff can take on the biggest names in rap. He said from a New York hotel: 'He�s gonna come out as Hassle The Hoff.

�'The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humour.'�

In other news, Page Six reports that former Scores manager Tony Lombardi has some interesting things to say about The Iceman:

"Scores management is still upset Lombardi revealed that 'Ice-T liked to hang out by the ladies room at Scores and attach a string to a dollar bill and watch the girls bend over to pick it up.'"

Uhm ... maybe producing the Knight Rider is an upgrade.
