David Hasselhoff has been staying at the Sanderson Hotel in London but we guess he may not be returning soon. Reports were swirling about that The Hoff cut himself shaving and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. While Hoff was shaving, there was a little bit more involved in the incident.

Turns out that The Hoff was shaving - after using the gym at the Sanderson Hotel - and had trouble with the dark lighting and trendy chandeliers over the sinks in the Philippe Starck-designed men's room. Squinting in the mirror, the 6-foot-4 Hoff bumped his head on the chandelier, which sent shards of glass and chrome cutting into his right arm, severing a tendon. The injury required surgery, but The Hoff should be ready to continue filming commercials for a British Internet company, after spending the night in the hospital.

Why is it that Hasselhoff always manages to make a scene when staying at London hotels? Still despite his eratic behavior those crazy Brits still love him.

Philippe Starck however, will have some explaining to do.
