David Hasselhoff has been on TV for the better part of 35 years now, starring in soap operas, prime time and syndicated action shows, and reality performance shows. He even managed to find time to become a pop star in Germany.

Not wanting to be one-upped by other celebrity dads such as Gene Simmons, Hulk Hogan, and Bruce Jenner-Kardashian who have reality shows detailing the misadventures of their own families, David Hasselhoff is apparently gearing up for a reality show of his own, “The Hasselhoffs”, which will also feature daughters Taylor Ann Hasselhoff and Hayley Hasselhoff.

If this new reality show doesn’t last, The Hoff can always go back to singing pop songs in Germany. Because those Germans just looooove David Hasselhoff…

A two-million-dollar anti-whaling activist boat, resembling The Bat-mobile and part of a fleet named after former The Price is Right host Bob Barker, decided that ramming a Japanese fishing boat twenty times it’s size (and made of metal as opposed to Bat-fiberglass) was a good way to draw attention to its cause.

The tactic apparently worked, as the video of the Bat-mobile smashing against the whaling boat like an egg thrown against the pavement has received international news coverage. But has the costly and dangerous stunt brought any new supporters to their cause? Probably not.

We just became aware of the recent craze of “bed jumping”, where people take creative mid-air photos of themselves jumping on beds, typically in hotel rooms.

The web site HotelsByCity.com has been fueling the jumpers for years with its Bed Jump blog, containing hundreds of submitted photos of people jumping on hotel beds. And they are not alone; a recent search on photo sharing web site Flickr returned over 17,000 hits using the search term “bed jumping.”

So THAT’s why the beds in our rooms are always so uncomfortable…and we just assumed it was because TheTodayNews.com booked cheap hotels!

You may think your apartment is small, but at 175 square-feet this New York City studio is the smallest one in the city.

Measuring only 14.9 feet long and 10 feet wide, this studio recently sold for $150,000.

No doubt owners Zaarath and Christopher Prokop visited the local IKEA for some small-space decorating ideas!

47-year old Susan Boyle became an instant worldwide sensation after her surprising performance on “Britain’s Got Talent” earlier this year.

Now she is Susan Boyle, pop star. Her debut album, “I Dreamed a Dream,” sold 700,000 copies to debut at No. 1. This not only gives her the best first week sales of 2009, but is also the best-selling album debut by a woman in the Billboard SoundScan era.

Don’t worry, Taylor Swift, we still love you.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama announced in a speech last night that he will send 30,000 American combat troops into Afghanistan.

The Peace Prize laureate is also asking NATO (whose founding member Norway just awarded Obama the Peace Prize) to send 10,000 troops to Afghanistan as well.

A 68-year-old South Korean grandmother has finally passed her drivers license test written portion, after 949 failed attempts! Cha Sa-soon squeaked by on her 950th test, correctly answering the minimum 60 questions out of 100. She has been trying to pass the test since April 13, 2005, the Korea Times reported, and has spent spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees.

But she can’t take a victory lap around her native Jeonju just yet, since she still needs to pass the actual DRIVING portion of the test before getting her license…

Florida resident Joel Waul recently had his 9,032 pound rubber band ball, already certified by The Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest, hauled away with a crane by Ripley’s Believe It or Not to be displayed in a yet-to-be-determined museum.

Refusing to be outdone when it comes to stupid stunts, The Today News .com staff has started working on its own rubber band ball. In short time our rubber band ball has grown to such mammoth proportions that even our office Rascal Robot “Herbie” is no longer able to roll it across the table.

Hey don’t laugh, this is the future world’s largest rubber band ball. You saw it here first!

The remake of the TV series V debuts this week, and the villainess du jour is Brazillian actress Morena Baccarin, who plays the alien leader, Anna.

Whether she has her hair short, mid-length or long Morena should keep us tuning in!

This week a remake of the 1984 hit miniseries “V” hits the airwaves. Of course our favorite lizard will always be the original bad girl of “V” Jane Badler, who played evil lizard alien Diana in the original miniseries (and also, cringe, the forgettable short-lived followup TV series by the same name.)
