Hoff Update

First, E! is getting ready to spin some “Tales of the Hoff,” a Ryan Seacrest-produced scripted comedy starring David Hasselhoff. The project — part of E!’s previously announced move toward adding scripted programming into its mix — will follow the fictional dark and twisted trials and tribulations of an international icon as he navigates Hollywood and the world of dating after divorce.

Second, I have once again received a 2008 Hoff calendar which I share with all of you and encourage its dissemination.

Third, Todd Seavey's upcoming Reason article on nanotech, which details his visit to Scotland and meetings with leading nanotech scientists, features this odd tidbit: In his lab is a David Hasselhoff poster that says "I tried to save the world, but I forget to save myself. --The Hoff." Todd kept me apprised of the editing process and not only was this not cut from the article, the editors were interested in including a picture of the poster for, as Todd puts it, "the article... the article on nanotech."

And, last but not least, rumor has it that the Hoff should be appearing both Anaconda 3 and Anaconda 4.
