#4. Father Knows Best, Baywatch Edition

In what he characterized as "one night of relapse," recovering alcoholic and former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff was captured in a home video — made by his teenage daughters in May — lying on the floor and clumsily eating a hamburger as one of the girls chastised him for drinking. The actor, who later admitted he was inebriated in the video, said his daughters made the tape to show him how he acts when drunk.

Hasselhoff ended up getting full custody of his children.
