What The...?

LONDON, England (AP) -- Former "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said Friday.

The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said.
That. Is. Weird.

OK: Let's try to depict a scenario in which Mr. Hasselhoff's head would come into contact with a chandelier (in a forceful enough fashion to shatter it). My guess is he was standing on a chair in front of the mirror shaving his belly button.

Well, a more likely scenario is that the chandelier was actually mounted on a wall next to the mirror (instead of hanging from the ceiling) and Mr. Hasselhoff was trying to get too close to the mirror while shaving. Of course, it would have been nice if the news story said that, since millions of people right now around the world are picturing Mr. Hasselhoff doing some pretty bizarre stuff in that bathroom.

Hmm... must be a helluva nice gym to have chandeliers in the bathroom.
