Hasselhoff Still #1 in Deutschland

Berlin, Germany - Though his 'Knight Rider' days are long gone and 'Baywatch' has run ashore, sex symbol David Hasselhoff is still enjoying the life of a rock star in Germany these days.

"It's like, I don't age, or something," said Hasselhoff. "I'm even sexier now than I was when riding in K.I.T., tearing bad guys a new one on 'K[night] Rider.'"

With 42 concert dates in Eastern Europe planned for 2006, included 8 in Germany, the only country naive enough to embrace him, Hasselhoff is living large. "Hanes is talking about an underwear deal in Poland, too," says a gleaming Hasselhoff to reporters. "And after my last surgery, no tube sock-stuffing required for this shoot baby!" said the sex-symbol while emphatically gesticulating his hips.

Critics warn that Hasselhoff had better enjoy it while it lasts, speculating that such washed-out American stars as Corey Feldman, Emanuel Lewis, and that metro-sexual kid Jamie from "Small Wonder" may be looking to cash in on the European scene that has treated Hasselhoff so well. When asked if he's worried about sharing the spotlight, a cool Hasselhoff replied: "No way man. Ain't no one got chest hair like me. No one." He may have a point there.
