Screech Spills 'Saved by the Bell' Secrets

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 24th 2009 01:51PM

Dustin Diamond writes about his time starring on 'Saved by the Bell' as dork Screech in his new memoir 'Behind the Bell' -- and airs his co-stars' dirty secrets, Usmagazine.com reports.

Sex and drugs were par for the course during the filming of 'Bell,' Diamond says. He also claims that he "could smell a certain 'smoke,'" on set and adds that he believes Mark-Paul Gosselaar -- who played Zack Morris -- was on steroids.

"He suddenly exploded with manliness, loading 25 pounds of muscle on his once-scrawny frame in, oh, about a month," Diamond tells Us.

But he has plenty to say about his other co-stars -- Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly), Mario Lopez (Slater) and Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie.)

"If Kelly was interested in Slater one week, then backstage there was a lot going between them in Mario's room. Then, if Jessie kisses Zack, then you know Elizabeth Berkley is going in Mark-Paul's room," Diamond describes of sexual relations between the actors.

I don't doubt this at all, which is very sad now that I'm older.

Anything for a buck! He needs $$$ so why not tell? Don't purchase the book because he needs $$ to pay for his loser lifestyle. Jerk!!!

By dee

Everything quoted here is Diamond's speculation. It's not like he has any proof, or anything beside his decade-stale observations. Gosselar had a growth spurt? Tiffany spent lots of time in Mario's room when they shared a storyline on the show? Is that just a scandalous way of saying 'rehearsal'?
I wouldn't be surprised that sex and drugs were rampant backstage of this show, as on any other, since there is no environment more prime for such stuff, but nothing this attention-seeking, douchebag is saying is any proof of that.

YOU GO GIRL. HE IS JUST A LOSER NOW, AND IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESNT HAVE SUCCESS NOW. SO HE IS BAD MOUTHING, PROBABLY THE ONLY FRIENDS HE HAS EVER HAD. HE IS A LOSER AND YOUR RIGHT LISA, HE NEEDS TOO SHUT HIS BIG MOUTH

You know I've seen "Screech" on some tv show, I think the Biggest Loser. Some weight lose show and he was always out to make problems with everyone else, and he could do nothing wrong in his eyes! I just think he likes to talk smack about other people to make it so hes not in the spotlight! Notice he said nothing about himself, just puts everyone else down! I didn't really like him much! He's very insecure!

I believe him. I remember when Mark Paul got huge in a short period of time. It's the only plausible explanation. I rememeber some of my friends who did it and the effects are dramatic in a very short period of time. It's nearly impossible to get that big in a short period of time by working out. In any case, who cares? It was a long time ago and it doesn't appear Mark Paul is on the juice now.

Wowww if you really think that happened you need to be on meds. Ovb. everyone knows thats not true.

He is such an ass. His real character (or lack of) came out on Cel. Fit Club. I kept watching in hopes someone would kick his ass. He kept on acting like a total jerk, then when someone would go after him he'd start yelling "Im gonna sue you!" like the punk he is. I hope no one buys his book.

Guys, consider the source! Justin's a proven loser, and he's obviously jealous of the other actors who are still working.

Yeah, no kidding. I don't think "Zach" was ever really big anyway, he just grew up before our eyes as most tv kids do. We all know Dustin's reputation so I'm sure it's just another ploy for attention and a way to get people interested enough to maybe think about wanting to buy his book. I loved the show but I won't waste my money.

By Daniella

Coming from a complete loser like Dustin Diamond this holds little to no crediablity. He's a nobody that will do anything and everything to make a dime. What a turd this guy turned out to be.

Dustin Diamond is a douche, sounds like he was jealous, he is trying anyway to get attention, guess his porno movies aren't doing that great.

By steppingrazor82

sounds to me like pure jealousy, He was a scrawny kid until he hit like 30! and you know none of his female costars would have any desire to practice scenes with him on off time. He sounds like a man who cant get used to the fact he's a born loser.

By UrMommysDADDY

sounds like good times. to0 bad dustin will always be screech.... and either in character or off he wont get laid unless he's paying for it. You sound bitter screech, let it go. ZOIINKS!!!

By Bev

What a loser ! Who cares?
