A Massachusetts-based convenience store is having a hard time holding on to David Hasselhoff. Cumberland Farms is using life-sized cutouts of The Hoff to advertise their iced coffee drinks at 570 of their stores, and so far, around 550 of those Hoffs have been stolen. The company asked people to stop stealing the signs, but added that they hope people who currently are in possession of a stolen Hasselhoff cutout write and let the company know that he is being well cared for.

Few celebrities have ventured into the dank tunnels of self-parody and emerged into pop culture consciousness more well-loved by audiences than David Hasselhoff — well, next to William Shatner, of course. The Knight Rider/Bay Watcher/Sponge Bob Man-Boat who, when he isn't scouring the planet for a good cheeseburger or singing the praises of du, has appeared (usually as himself) in more places than we can count.
Oh, there he is again... saving a "ginger" boy from a pool full of blood-thirsty piranhas. The Hoff's latest cameo is in the upcoming ichthyan bloodfest, Piranha 3DD, which opens in theaters on June 1st. In the clip a disaffected Hasselhoff poses as the celebrity lifeguard for The Big Wet Water Park, red trunks and all, only to find redemption in the frantic cries of a young boy.

Last October, Dimension released the teaser trailer for Piranha 3DD, which made good promotional sense since the movie was scheduled to open in November. However, the studio then moved the sequel's release from November to an unspecified 2012 date. Curiously, Dimension has now released the first full-length trailer for the movie, even though it still lacks a scheduled release (though it will appear on DVD in March in the UK).
Like the teaser, Piranha 3DD is filled with gore and bikini-clad bodies as the sequel takes the body count from a lakeside resort town to a waterpark called the Big Wet. More of David Hasselhoff's cameo is featured, as well as footage of Gary Busey's appearance. Last November, Busey revealed that he played a "farmer" who has piranhas rain down on him after "a cow explodes because of its farting ability." While Busey's comments seemed ridiculous at the time, the eccentric actor does appear dressed like a farmer in the trailer.

Actor, singer, producer, businessman — David Hasselhoff has many credits to his name. But this new one took us by surprise.
The Baywatch actor now has a crab named after him. All Yeti crabs are hairy (hence the "Abominable Snowman" nickname), but this new variety boasts a hairy chest. "The Hoff" crab was discovered by scientists exploring deep-sea vents in the Southern Ocean floor of the Antarctic.
Sadly, the crab will be given a formal scientific name at some point. May we suggest Knightridah Hirsuta?

Mila Kunis attended a Marine Corps Ball with Sgt. Scott Moore on Friday, following through on a commitment she made in July when Moore asked her out via YouTube. Kunis didn't gush about the experience as much as friend Justin Timberlake did after attending a Marine Ball last week, but Marine spokesman Capt. Scott Sasser said, “Everything went well. It was a great experience for everybody."

Ashton Kutcher made a last-ditch effort to save his marriage to Demi Moore by buying her a $100,000 2012 Lexus LS 600h L hybrid. Perhaps an all-electric Tesla Roadster or even a $30K Nissan Leaf would've done the trick?

White House party crasher Tareq Salahi is demanding $17 million from soon-to-be ex-wife Michaele Salahi and Journey guitarist Neal Schon as compensation for "public humiliation and suffering" since Michaele left him for the rocker in September. Reached for comment at Dulles International Airport, Schon laughed off the legal threat saying, "I think some people need to get a grip and move on."

Just days after Michael Lohan dodged jail for four misdemeanor domestic assault charges, the object of his, uh, affection, Kate Major, has checked into rehab for alcohol abuse. Major reportedly said drinking "changes her into someone she isn't," which, as TMZ wryly notes, is probably how she started dating Lohan in the first place.

At the American Music Awards last night, LMFAO lived up to their name, bringing David Hasselhoff on stage and stripping him down into a sleeveless "Don't Hassel the Hoff" T-shirt and boxers with a large smiley face on the crotch.

Academy Award–winning director and 3-D enthusiast James Cameron may not have been a fan of last year's Piranha 3D, saying it "what we should not be doing in 3-D", but audiences didn't seem to mind as Piranaha 3D ultimately earned $83 million worldwide. A sequel, Piranha 3DD, was announced days after the original opened.
Instead of attacking revelers at a Lake Victoria, this time around the underwater creatures have made their way to a newly opened water park called "Big Wet," which presumably uses either fresh or salt water (though, as Christopher Lloyd's returning character Mr. Goodman points out, the piranha have "evolved" — so perhaps they can live in chlorinated water as well). What hasn't evolved in the sequels intentions... A positive for fans.

Television shows continue to be a resource for movie studios, with next year seeing the release of the big-screen versions of '70s gothic soap opera Dark Shadows and undercover cop show 21 Jump Street. Could Baywatch be next? Writer-director Peter Tolan, fresh off the final season of the FX show Rescue Me, recently admitted that he has turned in a Baywatch script to Paramount.
The fact that a Baywatch movie was even being developed is likely news for most, but a movie version has been slowly unfolding for years. Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, who has a producing deal with Paramount, has been helping in the development of a Baywatch movie, telling THR in March that they didn't "have a script that’s makeable" but admitted the movie "is a comedy, and I think we have a very interesting take — a classical idea that will be fresh for the world audience."

The campiness of Piranha 3DD just keeps getting better. Dimension Films announced in a press release today that David Hasselhoff has been added to the cast. This former Baywatch lifeguard seems the perfect choice to battle carnivorous prehistoric fish at The Big Wet Water Park.
He is joining a cast that includes Ving Rhames (whose character apparently never died in Piranha 3D, even if audiences assumed he had), Christoper Lloyd, and the incomparable Gary Busey.
Other castmates and possible fish bait for this John Gulager-directed masterpiece include Katrina Bowden, Danielle Panabaker, Matt Bush, Chris Zylka, David Koechner, Meagan Tandy, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Hector Jimenez, Adrian Martinez, and Clu Gulager

Cristina Ricci has called Robert Pattinson a good kisser, but a bad cold during filming of Water For Elephants made it an intensely unpleasant experience for Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon said, "Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I've ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life. He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it — and it was not appealing. I'm talking green, infectious, disgusting — I'm not kidding!

Gwyneth Paltrow recently made waves looking exceedingly good in a tiny blue bikini, and the star said her slim physique it's not an accident, or genes, or "fairy dust." "The reason that I can be 38 and have two kids and wear a bikini is because I work my [expletive] ass off," she says.
In the May issue of Self magazine, Paltrow describes her workout: "I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening."

Cox went on Late Night and told David Letterman, "He hit (on me) pretty hard, and I said, 'You know, you don't have the Fast Pass right now. Not to that ride!'"
