David Hasselhoff starts his own social networking site

The Hoff really does have an ego that knows no bounds. And for that reason alone, I find him utterly fascinating. Is it his curly hair? No. The voice of gold? No. The fact that the rest of the world has loved and appreciated The Hoff in a way America hasn't? No. I love The Hoff for that crazy ego of his.

Actually I think he knows that he's kitsch, and he's just rolling with it. Which could perhaps imply a lack of ego, who knows. But whether the motivation is ego or just a smart PR strategy, The Hoff has done something few celebs have bothered with - starting his very own social networking site. Dedicated... well pretty much to The Hoff. And really, why waste time with conventional sites like MySpace or Facebook - sites everyday people will access - when you can make your very own version, dedicated solely to yourself?

David Hasselhoff's new social networking site is proving a huge hit. More than 8,000 members have already signed up to Hoff Space. David, 55, launched the site because he was tired of people setting up accounts in his name.

'I couldn't really get the internet together but because Knight Rider and Baywatch and this Hoff thing has taken off so much around the world, we put together our own Hoff Space,' he tells BBC Radio 1.

'I was on MySpace and Facebook and I was getting a lot of phoneys. A lot of people were coming in posing as me or my children and I had to stop it, so I opened my own that is going to be fun and I can regulate it.

'It's a way of going around the world from Russia, to Japan, to Europe and getting a pulse on all the crazy people out there.'
