Screech's Book Hits Stores September 29th


Tell all books usually disappoint. Even a book like the one from Kathleen Turner disappoints if you think about it. There were hundreds of pages in the book but only about four or five really juicy things in it. I have big hopes for Dustin Diamond's book though. The reason for my hope is that he has nothing to lose. The only way a book publisher was going to be interested in a washed up tween star was if he wrote things which are incredibly juicy and make you want to actually buy a copy and not sit in Borders and skim through it for the good parts.

The cast of Saved By The Bell have previously said they didn't do anything worth writing about in a book. The original publisher who has since dropped out of the process promised "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying." Now that is a book.

The last book I remember from someone who had nothing to lose and who everyone hated was Jose Canseco's book. Jose was a baseball player who used steroids to succeed and had become a pariah and was broke. So, what he did in his book was name lots and lots of names most of which proved to be true. It didn't change the fact that Jose was an ass but it made for good reading. This book of Dustin's isn't going to make anyone like him but at this point I think he is beyond that and just wants the money and attention.

  1. What he really needed to do in that book was apologize for having Screech speak in a falsetto for far too long.

  2. I guess I'm just too old to be interested in any dirt on any of them. I am only vaguely interested in hearing what might be in there about Mario's sexuality.

  3. Well, guess that's why he wasn't on the cover with the others last week.

  7. Dustin Diamond and Justin Timperlake look like they were separated at birth.

  8. Behind the Green Door?

    I hope he makes lots of money and goes away.

  9. Hmmm, might be a good one to get from the library, but I'm not interested in spending my money on him.

  10. Why even bother to buy it when US Weekly is going to give out the highlights?

    Wait until it hits the dollar store and then give it to charity or let it prop up the wobbly leg on the coffee table. Then it will have purpose.

  11. Never watched the show. Not a fan. But I have this question: did he really need to pose like that?

  12. I hope he makes lots of money and goes away.

    Problem is, if he makes a lot of money he won't go away - he'll just do it again.
