LOS ANGELES - The Hoff’s hospitalized.

Former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff was taken to the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center on Saturday to have something removed above his eye, his publicist, Judy Katz, told The Associated Press Monday.

“He’s fine, he had something removed, he’s coming out tonight,” Katz said, declining to elaborate on what was removed.

Rumors that Hasselhoff checked into rehab were not true, Katz said.

Hasselhoff, 55, was treated in a hospital for alcoholism in October.

Court documents released last week show Hasselhoff’s divorce settlement calls for him to pay $25,000 a month to support ex-wife Pamela Bach and their two teenage daughters. Bach and Hasselhoff share joint custody. They were married in 1989 and divorced in 2006.
