David Hasselhoff Slams Piers Morgan  8/10/07

David Hasselhoff has branded his America's Got Talent co-judge Piers Morgan a poor journalist.

Morgan, who was editor of British newspapers the News of the World and the Daily Mirror, upset the former Baywatch star with revelations about the actor's marriage and kids in his series of books purporting to expose the secret lives of the stars.

But, despite having since received an apology and proved his parental credentials in court by winning custody of his two daughters, Hasselhoff is still fuming and urges Morgan to check his facts first.

He says, "Piers just takes things too far. Seriously, he has crossed the line sometimes.

"Piers will say, 'It's British humor.' I don't mind someone joking about me, my music, whatever - but don't bring my kids or my family into it.

"He wrote some things in his book and he thinks it's acceptable. Well I say that calling him a w**ker on TV is acceptable too."
