David Hasselhoff's life sounds like a bad reality show ... now we find out it may indeed become one.
We're told The Hoff has a deal in place with A&E that is close ... but not quite done. A rep for A&E tells us, "We are discussing a possibility of doing a documentary series with David and his kids."
David's daughter Hayley tweeted last week, "The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E ..... Get readdyy for it."
A Hasselhoff rep says the deal isn't signed yet.
Pamela Bach is the Jon Gosselin of this show -- she won't be appearing.

Move over Cesar Milan, there is a new Dog Whisperer on the block -- and his name is David Hasselhoff.
We caught up with The Hoff and his daughter Hayley in Malibu yesterday -- and while we wanted to talk about David's recent troubles in London, he just wanted to talk ... through his dog.
Perfectly normal.

David Hasselhoff is indestructible.
Despite reports The Hoff was hospitalized during his stay in London after a week-long bender that ended with him allegedly punching out a doctor, he was seen at Heathrow Airport this morning looking as fresh as the day he was born.
When we got him arriving later at LAX, we tried to ask all about his trip, but all we got was that devilish grin and a sly, "It's allllllll good."
How does he do it?

Sources tell TMZ David Hasselhoff was indeed drinking at Simon Cowell's birthday party in London this past weekend.
According to The Sun, staff at the party had to help The Hoff leave through a back entrance after he spent two hours pounding booze. The Sun claims David was so wasted that, "he kept swearing ... he couldn't walk."
Sometime after the party, Hoff -- who has famously battled alcohol problems in the past -- allegedly got wasted again and punched a doctor at the British hotel he was staying at during the trip.
David was reportedly hospitalized for two days after the hotel incident and released yesterday morning.

David Hasselhoff was reportedly hospitalized for two days in London after a drunken bender allegedly ended with him punching a doctor in London, this according to The Sun.
The Hoff was released yesterday from the Capio Nightingale Hospital, the paper is reporting, after an alleged drinking bender at the St Martins Lane Hotel.
He was reportedly in town for Simon Cowell's birthday party and has been partying it up in London ever since.
TMZ has confirmed The Hoff was in fact a guest at the St Martins Hotel this week and a guest at Simon's party.
Hasselhoff has battled alcohol problems for years, most recently last month when The Hoff was taken to the ER -- but he says that trip was for an ear problem.
We contacted Hoff's rep, who is looking into it right now.
UPDATE: 9:22 AM ET: We contacted the office of the doctor The Hoff allegedly attacked. An assistant simply said, "No comment" and hung up.

David Hasselhoff is about to get a check from his ex-wife Pamela Bach for a change.
The judge in their divorce case just ruled Pammy has been filing frivolous legal actions against The Hoff and David has been forced to pay his lawyer to fend her off.
So the judge has ordered Pam to foot David's legal bill, to the tune of $7,550.80
The judge said Pamela must send David $3,000 up front, and then she can either send David a check for $500 a month until they're all squared up or just deduct it from her spousal support.
Decisions, decisions.

We've just obtained the 911 calls that resulted in David Hasselhoff being taken to the hospital last week -- and in one of them, David's daughter tells the dispatcher her mother got someone to call 911 just to start a bunch of drama.
Here's what went down: In the first call, one of Pamela Bach's friends calls 911 to report an incident at Hasselhoff's house. When the dispatcher calls the house, David's daughter Hayley answers the phone.
She begs the dispatcher to call off the ambulance by saying, "Turn around ... we're completely fine." She then blames the whole thing on her mother, saying, "My mom is trying to cause something ... nothing happened here at all."
Bach told us Hayley called her that day and said David had been drinking -- but David later told us he was just having a bad reaction to a combination of meds.
UPDATE: We've reached out to David's publicist, but hey, it's Yom Kippur in Hollywood.
UPDATE 4:01 PM PT: Pamela's rep just gave us the following statement:
"Pamela and her friends' 911 calls last week were in response to receiving a distressed call for help from David's home. During the subsequent call, the dispatcher made the final decision to still send the paramedics after their request to speak with David directly were not met.

In an attempt to patch up that whole "My dad was drunk" thing, David Hasselhoff took his 17-year-old daughter to the most normal of father-daughter bonding places: A lingerie launch party at a sex shop.
The Hoff and Hayley went to WeHo erotic boutique Coco de Mer last night for the launch of a new underwear line.
As TMZ first reported, Hayley was the one who believed her father was drunk over the weekend -- which prompted a 911 call.
Hoff said he just had an adverse reaction to medications -- and told us last night he's "doing great."

David Hasselhoff says he wasn't drunk yesterday -- he wasn't even drinking and yesterday's drama was all a misunderstanding over an ear problem.
As we first reported, paramedics went to Hasselhoff's home yesterday and took him to the hospital -- this, after his daughter Hayley called her mom and sounded an alarm. Pamela says she was told David had been drinking and one of her friends then called 911.
Hasselhoff's people tell us he was being treated by his family doctor for an ear infection and was taking Antivert. Hasselhoff was also taking Antabuse, which prevents alcoholics from drinking. The Hoff's camp says the combination of drugs messed up his equilibrium, he was feeling sick and wasn't able to reach his family doctor.
Team Hasselhoff says when paramedics arrived David decided to go to the hospital -- not because he was drinking but to help with the equilibrium problem.
Hasselhoff's people say he was released an hour after being treated at the hospital.
