DAVID HASSELHOFF - HASSELHOFF 'BACK IN REHAB'

American actor DAVID HASSELHOFF has reportedly checked in for a second stint in rehab after failing to kick his addiction to alcohol.

The former BAYWATCH star, who first sought help at California's BETTY FORD CLINIC in 2002, has reportedly entered a 90-day alcohol rehab programme in Los Angeles, after his arrest for drink driving last month (JUN04).

A source close to the 51-year-old tells British tabloid the DAILY STAR, "David is determined that he's going to conquer his demons.

"He believes that three months in rehab, away from drink, is the answer."

Hasselhoff is currently on bail and is due to face a court on drink driving charges later this month (JUL04).
