David Hasselhoff: 'America's Got Talent' judge takes a licking

And keeps on ticking.  Nothing seems to get the Hoff down, and that very quality, to walk through personal landmines of crap and still come out relatively smelling like a rose, is a real talent.

Sure, we know David Hasselhoff has a drinking problem, but so does he.  He deals with the repercussions on a daily basis.  Still, he manages to laugh and have a smile, and today was no different as he emerged from a Los Angeles County Superior Court, and TMZ cameras were there to film him. 

The Hoff was "visibly excited" about the court doings, but was mum on the subject.  What he was not mum on, his upcoming TV show he gamely promoted.

The "America's Got Talent" judge started by going on about the new season of "AGT" - debuting tomorrow night on NBC, before working in a plug for his new book, "Don't Hassle the Hoff," which he'll be signing tomorrow in NYC. The Hoff is a masterful, self-marketing professional.

Hey, he has big legal bills to pay.

Herr Hoff is due back in court June 15th to continue the hearing, but he would prefer you just watch him on "America's Got Talent" that premieres Tuesday night on NBC.
