A copy of KITT, the talking car from the Knight Rider series and dozens of other memorabilia were sold at David Hasselhoff's auction on Saturday.

The car attracted about 30 bids at an online auction and finally sold for $300,000, according to the auction's website.

The identity of the buyer has not yet been disclosed.

The auctioneer said the fully functional car, which was parked in Britain waiting for a new owner, belonged to Hasselhoff but was not used in the series.

Pieces of clothing and other belongings of Hasselhoff from Baywatch were also among the auctioned memorabilia, most of them sold for several hundreds of dollars.

The dinner offer with the star fetched only $9,000, much less than the expected price of $20,000.

Hasselhoff's fame peaked in the 1980s and 1990s when he starred as a singer in hit TV shows, and was mostly known for his song "Looking for Freedom".

The career of the 68-year-old German actor and singer has faded in the past years.

Hasselhoff promoted "The Hoff" auction on Twitter and Instagram for several weeks. In a video he shared Saturday, he claimed he will allocate a big sum of the auction's revenues for charities.

Turns out, Taylor and Travis like to watch a little baseball, too.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, were at Yankee Stadium on Monday night for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees, The Associated Press reported.
The famous couple sat together in a suite down the right-field line, in the second row above postseason bunting and a flag commemorating the Yankees' 1932 World Series championship.
Kelce, a Westlake, Ohio, native who went to high school in Cleveland Heights, sported a dark baseball cap with the words Midnight Rodeo on it. Swift also wore a hat on a 50-degree night in the Bronx.
Kelce, who turned 35 on Oct. 5, grew up rooting for Kenny Lofton and Cleveland in the 1990s. Kelce threw a wild ceremonial first pitch before the Guardians' season opener last year.
It was the second major sporting event for Swift and Kelce in New York City over the past five-plus weeks. The couple also sat in a box to watch the men's final at the US Open tennis tournament on Sept. 8 in Queens.
Kelce and the Chiefs, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, had a bye this weekend after opening the season 5-0. Their next game is Sunday at San Francisco, a rematch of last season's Super Bowl.
