This isn't exactly the best week to come out with a tell-all. There's
just no way to compete with Mackenzie Phillips' dramabomb, but Dustin
"Screech Powers" Diamond does his best.

And honestly, even if there wasn't some '70s actress talking about her
incestuous affair with her father all over the place, Diamond's Saved by
the Bell tell-all, Behind the Bell, would still be a pretty big fail.

Turns out the eternal Bayside High nerd was quite the outcast offscreen,
too. In the Us Weekly preview of the book, Diamond speculates about a
lot of things he thinks happened but never witnessed because no one
wanted him around.

A sampling:

* "I could smell a certain 'smoke' wafting from the crack" of his
fellow castmates' dressing rooms.
* He accuses Mark-Paul Gosselaar (dreamy Zack Morris) of using
steroids. "He suddenly exploded with manliness, loading 25 pounds of
muscle on his once-scrawny frame in, oh, about a month."
* Sometimes Tiffani Thiessen hung out in Mario Lopez's dressing room
and other times Elizabeth Berkley would hand out in Gosselaar's room.
The only one not hanging out was Screech.
* Mario Lopez liked to hit on ladies.
* This one time Tiffani had to wear a bathing suit for the show and
she would walk "around with her hands casually shielding her ass." So
producers were like, "No more junk food on set," and then Diamond didn't
have anything to snack on. It was rough.
* Lark Voorhies, who played Lisa Turtle, "all of the sudden, she
didn't want to be near men." Diamond took that to mean she was in an
abusive relationship. He has no idea if this is true, though.
* Also, Diamond would like to add Fred Savage is "a douche nozzle";
Neil Patrick Harris "was an a--hole"; Tori Spelling had "negative [size]
boobs"; Denise Richards was "just another notch on Mario's bedpost."

And that is seriously all the juicy stuff he's got�a bunch of
name-calling and speculation based on all these times he wasn't allowed
to hang out. Pretty petty and pathetic, but we should have seen this
coming.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

Dude was a asshole then too.

Oh, how times have changed.

Sniff.

If I had to hang with a loser like Diamond and douchebags like Gossalar and
Lopez, I wouldn't want to be around men either.

Someone isn't getting invited to the next revival of "Hollywood Squares".

As I understand it, the cast refuses to do any type of reunion show
if "Screech" is included.

and that's how you know most of that book is bullshit. If any of it were
true, Diamond would have one of them standing by him.

Why would they be defending him for revealing real confidential secrets?
Or would he be prone on the ground at the same time?

You tell me the other five are all buddy buddy. If not to defend Diamond,
then to get their own "tell all" out.

I think they're united by a common intense dislike of Dustin.
Weren't there some "tell-alls" already written?
