David Hasselhoff was hospitalized Saturday to have something removed above his eye and was expected to be released late Monday evening, his publicist said.

Former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff checked into UCLA Medical Center on Saturday as he needed a facial operation to fix a surgical wound above his eye that had reopened, the Associated Press reported.

His publicist, Judy Katz, told the AP Monday that he had something “removed” above his eye.

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

Katz also denied rumors that Hasselhoff had checked into rehab. Half a year ago, the 55-year-old actor was treated in a hospital for alcoholism after having a relapse.

Last week, Hasselhoff agreed to pay $25,000 a month to support his ex-wife Pamela Bach and their two teenage daughters, 17-year-old Taylor, and 15-year-old Hayley, thus finalizing a lengthy divorce settlement. The girls receive an additional $4,000 from their father. Bach and Hasselhoff were married in 1989 and divorced in 2006. They share joint custody of their children.

As to the Hoff’s upcoming projects, he stars in horror film “Anaconda 3: The Offspring,” a Sci Fi Channel movie event which is the sequel to the movies “Anaconda” (1997) and “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid.”

“Anacondas 4: Trail of Blood” will also star Hasselhoff.

The actor, famous throughout the 1980s and ‘90s for starring in the hugely successful US television series “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider,”  is also preparing for a third season of “America’s Got Talent,” which premieres June 24 on NBC. He has been a judge for the previous two seasons.
