This is brilliant. Dustin Diamond, who played the goofy but uber-smart Screech, is going to sell his story of torrid sex adventures and drug use by fellow cast mates. He is currently penning Behind the Bell which will detail his experience on the teen show Saved by the Bell.
Behind the Bell, which Gotham Books preempted from Objective Entertainment’s Jarred Weisfeld, promises to detail “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying,” and for those of us who spent untold hours in our formative years memorizing “I’m So Excited” and the entire back catalog of Zack Attack, this is the greatest book deal in the history of the universe.
Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkeley, and Tiffani Amber-Thiessen all played respectable teenagers going through the toils of teen angst in the wholesome show. Dustin has been promising that his book will be filled with scandal. How much fact will go into the project is up to debate. He will have help to write out the tale. A ghostwriter, Alan Goldsher, is assisting him in his first attempt at literature.
I am not surprised is going to sellout his “friends.“ Everyone has a price tag. Dustin’s just happens to be $14 and a bag of Doritos.
Note by Celebitchy: The last I heard of Diamond was nearly two years ago when the news came out that he was starring in an amateur pr0n tape with two other women. It was widely assumed that he released it himself. Prior to that he was selling t-shirts online in an attempt to save his house from foreclosure. Oh and he was on “Celebrity Fit Club” on VH1 last summer and pretty much pissed everyone off. He now works as a stand up comic.

I think I can speak for the females of Earth when I say, EWWWWWWWW.
i’m a huge fan of the show. Right on! actually a tell-all book that i would READ.
i never watched this show but I will still read the book after seeing the actors in other things they’ve gone onto after ‘Bell.’ that being said, Dustin Diamond is a total sleaze for the book AND for his pr0n. gross.
Do Not Want!!!!
The house that was in foreclosure, which led him to sell “save screech” t-shirts, is in the town where my parents have a lakehouse in Wisconsin.
Having read the stories/gossip online beforehand, I expected him to be in serious financial trouble. Then I went up to visit and I (of course) took a cruise by…he’s in a subdivision, great-looking house, SUVs in the driveway. I can’t make assumptions from this but then I found out he admitted to lying about the whole “my home is in jeopardy, buy my shitty t-shirts” thing. Compounding the fact is his asshole demeanor on Celebrity Fit Club (the one on VH1?).
That said, I will still TOTALLY read this book. Only with four buckets of salt.
Oh, I forgot the largest indicator of his sleaziness: “the dirty sanchez”
That really put Screech Powers in a new light.
I’m so going to read that.
I watched the shit out of that show back in the day!! Of course I’m much wiser than I was when I was 11, so I can see how the set would have been a bacchanal. Don’t know if I want to read all about tho…
I’d love to read it, as a former SBTB junkie, but I can’t stand “screech” anymore, so I’ll have to pass on putting my $$ in his pocket. 😕
Now I have THIS stuck in my head:
“When I wake up in the morning and my mom gives out a warning, I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time…”
He actually does a pretty good stand up. He came to St Louis, MO, about a year ago and put on a good show. He swears that Mark Paul Gosselaar is gay (not that anything is wrong with that, but he does go on a monologue about it).
Dude needs to get a real job and stop trying to bank on a show that was big 15 years ago. Seriously, enough.
Tell all”s the desperate act of loser’s.
I am a little curious about his own backstory. What makes a person this pathetic and desperate to regain geek fame?
Good line about the $14 and a bag of Doritos, by the way 🙂
Hee, I’ve got the song in my head too notprfect. I thought Mark Paul Gosselear was the ish back in the day. There was even a guy named Garth who went to my high school who kinda looked like the black version of ‘Zach Morris.’
MPG’s still looking good these days imo, as do most of the cast with the exception of the a-hole in the header pic.
I gotta ask though I’m positive I won’t like the answer. What the heck is a ‘dirty sanchez?’
The answer to that question is more than anyone wants to read here! lol
Google it… I had to a few months ago when they were talking about Screech and his sex vid on the radio.
And don’t eat first!
He is disgusting, ugly, fat, gross, probably has no friends and obviously he can’t keep a nickel (selling shirts so the bank doesn’t take his house, come on)and now he needs to make a nickel to support a drug habit, I’m assuming. To buy his book, no thanks, I’ll wait to pick one up at a garage sale, but then again why would I believe anything coming from the type of guy I just listed above. The other cast members are taking the high road because none of them have stooped as low as Dusty and besides they are way better than Screech.
Just the nickname Screech should warn you to SCREECH before you buy his stupid book.
Zach is gay? The 11 year old in me just cried a little — I loved him so and thought I could be Mrs. Zack Morris when I grew up..
I don’t think I will read it, I enjoy the versions of these people that i have kept safely inside my head..
Yeah, he’s not a scummy has-been.
I LOVED and yes can admit I STILL watch saved by the bell :X. Notice everyone left the show and continued on with okay roles. This DA stayed long after the show should have ended and he’s a miserable failure in life. He was a desperate loser seeking attention way back when…and guess what he still is today? Even though I would love a tell all book about that show, I’d never belive nor buy anything this fool writes. NO one included him in anything back then so anything he writes would be made up BS….GO AWAY SCREECH, your 15 mins of fame ended a decade ago..
He may have a porn video out, but i just can’t help but doubt that any sober woman would willingly submit to any kind of sexual acts with this man. I could see there being some scandal on the set of SBTB but none of them including him. This fool is shameless, whatever happened to going to college and getting a respectable job?
Way to make momma proud.
Dustin Diamond puts me in a bit of the pickle. I really want to read the swill he’s writing, but I don’t want to fund his skeazy meth habit, and I don’t want my local librarian to look at me with utter disrespect and distain at the checkout counter. Oh, what a conundrum . . .
omg this guy is so pathetic!!! 😯
but i do kinda wanna read it…
i mean there has to be some truth in it…
but i mean hes soo irritating!!!
he could have had an excellent career but he wasted his talent and now hes a nobody…
and no self respecting person would be in a porn vid hahahaha
wat a FAIL!!!!!!!
It doesn’t take much to be a comic nowadays. Really, they should just change the word “comic” to “professional douche”.
Dustin Diamond is only releasing a book 1) because he needs attention constantly, and 2) because he’s butt-hurt.
As curious as I am about this book, I’m not buying it. Dustin said that he was not close with any of the cast members so how would he know for sure what everyone else got up to.I’m sure whatever is in his tell all book is a pile of “joe blow” and a desperate and pathetic attempt to rekindle some fame from the early 90s. GET OVER IT DUSTIN AND FOR LOVE OF GOD MOVE ON ALREADY!!!! 🙄
Sorry to disappoint all the ladies reading this thread, yet I have personal knowledge that Mark Paul is in fact a gay man. I was shtooping him in the early 90’s. 8===D

Mark has been married for 13 years and has two kids. Maybe he is gay. I tend to believe him over this sellout.
It sucks that “Screech” became this way. I was a faithful SBTB watcher, didn’t miss an episode…those kids were great role models. They were kids and did crazy things but there was always the moral of the story, this cast had morals in our eyes. They still play it everyday and kids can continue to look up to those guys, my son loves the show. It was kinda shocking when “Jessie Spano” did Striptease but that’s acting “Screech” has become appalling and downright sad. YUCK! I hate to hear he’s going to bash everything I believed these kids were when I was a kid. I am 27 and still kind of look up to Zack and Kellie and Slater and Lisa. Same with “Fresh Prince” Will Smith, great actor and person, I’d hate for Carlton to come along and try to write a tell all of something we’d rather not know….not like Mr. Perfect Will Smith has ANYTHING to hide…he’s so amazing! I’m disappointed Screech is doing this however I don’t think I’d be able to keep my hands off of it! I ‘grew up with’ these guys!!
