Everyone’s favourite geek is back, and he’s spilling the Bayside beans. However, not everyone is jumping for scandalous joy.
Perez Hilton recently blogged that Dustin Diamond (better known as Samuel “Screech” Powers on the 90’s TV sitcom hit “Saved By the Bell”) has less juice to squeeze out than a marshmallow. Hilton feels Diamond’s tell-all book entitled, “Behind the Bell” is less of a get-up and more of a let-down.
According to recent releases from the book, Diamond claims he could smell a “certain smoke” coming from the other cast members’ dressing rooms. He also claims that Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played every pre-teen girl’s crush Zack Morris, used steroids before filming “Saved By the Bell: The College Years.”

Life isn’t very sweet right now for Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath.
People magazine reports that McGrath has just been booted from his hosting duties for “Extra,” in favour of Mario Lopez.
“Mario … has established himself as a highly engaging, likeable and sought-after host and personality,” read the statement from Telepictures Productions.
McGrath will apparently resume working on his music career.
On-and-off-screen couple Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, both from “Dancing with the Stars”, have officially called it quits.
“Karina has parted ways with her two-year relationship with Mario Lopez,” says Smirnoff’s publicist, Melissa Berger. “The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction.”
In return, Lopez issued this statement:
“Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other,” he said. “She is a phenomenal and talented woman. I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life.”
Although the duo was photographed together on several occasions, the pair never publicly acknowledged the romance until media outlets claimed the relationship was on the rocks.
“Mario and I are fine. Everything’s good,” Smirnoff then told E! News. Added Lopez: “It’s all good.”
Recently single pop star Britney Spears was spotted partying in Las Vegas over the weekend with none other than Mario Lopez, (much) better known as A.C. Slater from “Saved by the Bell.”
Spears reportedly spent the weekend shopping, gambling and living it up in Sin City, according to People magazine.
Sources say that Spears hit a lucky streak at The Mint, the high-limit gambling area at Palms Casino Resort. She’s said to have won $10,000 U.S. at the blackjack table.
At the casino, Spears met Lopez (currently of “Dancing with the Stars” fame) and the two left with a small group of friends to hit Moon Nightclub.
