The Hoff Has Ridiculous Pick-Up Tactics

Gone are the days when former Baywatch stud David Hasselhoff needed only to smile broadly in order to immediately be surrounded by a gaggle of tremendously sexy ladies sporting swimsuits, blond locks and a burning desire to get to know "Mitch" better. Today, we should all pronounce ourselves happy that the Hoff is off the booze and done with his bitter divorce from former wife Pamela Bach. As for the actor's pick-up lines - well, according to Gatecrasher, they really need some improving since Hasselhoff seems to be relying on his agent rather than on his own gorgeous looks to charm the ladies.

Gatecrasher has a hilarious story about a man working in a bar who overheard a group of ladies laughing their heads off about such a little stunt Hasselhoff's agent tried to pull on them. "Last week, a group of three came into the bar, and they were laughing up a storm. They had just come from a taping of 'America's Got Talent,' where Hasselhoff is a judge", he told the NY Daily News. "The female of the group [a busty, cute brunette] was approached by the assistant of David Hasselhoff after the taping, and he gave her an autographed photo of him. On the back of the photo was the assistant's phone number and a suggestion that she get in touch with 'them'. Also listed was the name of the hotel [the London] where they were staying" the barman says.

The source also had enough inspiration to use his cell phone and take shots of both sides of the autographed picture as proof that his story was true. According to him, the lady in question was not particularly impressed with Hasselhoff's pick-up routine. "She thought it was pathetic and funny," the source reveals. Well, even "Mitch" has to admit that times have changed - we're not in the nineties anymore and even Baywatch re-runs are starting to lose their appeal. Then there's the slightly delicate issue of Hasselhoff being a twice-rehabbed recovering alcoholic who just got out of a nasty divorce with a disgruntled wife - all these coupled with some bad pick-up tactics spell out "disaster". Or, in his case, "just you and your hand tonight, honey".
