Hasselhoff Declares War on Brandy

Hasselhoff makes a remark about 'certain types of people' while Brandy makes perfectly clear who he is referring to for the home viewer.

In a brazen move of strong-arm diplomacy, actor/singer David Hasselhoff has declared war on actor/singer Brandy Norwood. Hasselhoff and Norwood (known to America simply as Brandy) are both judges on the American Idol inspired talent show America's Got Talent, and nearly came to blows during an episode which aired July 12.

The argument grew out of a disagreement between the two about the worth of one of the night's acts, Vladik, a juggler. Mr. Hasselhoff berated Vladik, stating that there were many much more talented acts present, and became irritable when confronted by Miss Norwood concerning his prejudice of jugglers. When Mr. Hasselhoff's began to bang against his podium with decisive hand gestures while arguing his defense, he triggered the 'check' button on his podium, signaling a passing vote for Vladik from Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff was clearly stunned at this turn of events.

Brandy interjected that it was "Too late," because Hasselhoff "gave him a check." Hasselhoff, who was wearing a wrist brace, had not noticed that he hit his button, and immediately accused the young pop star of subterfuge. Enraged, believing his vote had been cast for him, Hasselhoff scooted back in his chair, turned to face miss Norwood and threatened, "You know what? You had better watch your checks next time!" Clearly stunned, Brandy remained speechless, so Hasselhoff plainly stated: "THIS IS WAR NOW!"

No word yet on when Hasselhoff will schedule troop deployment, or on the condition of Brandy's defenses.
