andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

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.”

Dustin Diamond, better-known as Saved by the Bell’s Screech, is releasing a tell-all memoir about his time on the show, reports Perez Hilton. Diamond reportedly writes about “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying.”

However, his former publisher, Gotham, has refused to release the book, and his former cast mates insist the allegations in his memoir are false.

“This book is freaking incredible!,” said Jarred Weisfeld, Diamond’s literary agent. “Everyone that reads it loves it, and it is truly one of my favourites of all time.”
