David Hasselhoff Does Porn For Sons Of Anarchy

In news that undoubtedly will set your heart a flutter, the one and only David Hasselhoff has signed on to join the boys of SAMCRO on the upcoming fourth season of FX's fantastic Sons Of Anarchy. In a role that sounds even better than last season's cleaner, played by Stephen King, the Hoff will fufill his life long destiny of joining the porn industry. Clearly the cheeseburger afficianado negotiated some anatomy descriptors in to his contract.

The former America's Got Talent judge will play Dondo, a well-endowed former porn star who is now making major coin by producing sleazy girl-on-girl adult films. Turns out Dondo was given a major career boost by Luanne (Dendrie Taylor) and gets involved in a little dirty work in her memory.

Sadly I've never met an adult film producer, but I can't imagine any of them fill the stereotype I envision any better than the Hoff. But wait, it gets better, sort of. Per showrunner/potty mouth extraordinaire Kurt Sutter comes the following mind-blower:

here's the best part... hoff and tom arnold in the same scene. say it ain't so, joe. say it ain't so...  

Oh how I love thee Mr. Sutter. Season 4 of the third best show on television (1 - South Park, 2- Breaking Bad) starts some time this September.  [via tvguide]

Elijah Wood To Star With A Pot Smoking Dog Named Wilfred

Aside from what I presume is a plethora of shrimp and Barbies, Australia has a couple other things going for it. Add tv show about a talking, pot-smoking dog that doesn't require animation or fancy effects to the list. The show in question is called Wilfred, and amazingly it has been around for a while, but since I'm American, and for the most part ethnocentric, I was unaware of its existence until now.

Why now you might ask? Because they're making a US version for FX. On top of that it looks like Frodo is leaving the shire for his first television series.

Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood is set to make his series debut with a lead role opposite Jason Gann in the FX comedy pilot Wilfred, which is based on the acclaimed Australian series of the same name, co-created and starring Gann. David Zuckerman, who wrote the adapted pilot script and serves as executive producer, describes Wilfred as comedy “about a guy, Ryan (Wood), the girl next door, and mixed-breed dog, Wilfred (Gann), who is part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender.” Randall Einhorn is directing the pilot, which will be filmed this summer.   [via deadline]

Sounds good, and the clip below is definitely up my alley. Obviously I have a soft spot for people in dog costumes that are ridiculously smug and have bongs made out of water bottles, but honestly who doesn't? Elijah Wood can actually be kind of funny when he's trying to so hopefully this is as good as it sounds like it could be.

Here's some of the original Australian show. Keep in mind Jason Gann, the guy playing the dog, will also be occupying that role in the Americanized version.
