David Hasselhoff is going on the record with "The Insider" about reports that he was admitted to the hospital over the weekend for alcohol poisoning.

He told us today in Santa Barbara, "Yes, I had a few drinks. Yes I checked into the hospital. But it wasn't for alcohol poisoning and no there's no police report about a 3.9 [blood alcohol level], that's completely made up I don't know where that came from … no police report."

When we caught up with Hasselhoff today, he told us, "I'm fine. I'm doing great. But you know what? The attorneys will handle it."

Hasselhoff is keeping a sense of humor about the situation, telling us: "[My girlfriend Kimberly] brought me an article this morning that's pretty funny. It said something like: You know you're an icon when the reports say that you checked into the hospital with alcohol poisoning, that you were intoxicated, that you checked into rehab, you died, came out of rehab and you're having an affair with gerbils."
