What's Behind the Bell?

Suspended

Book is finally out! Going to leave suspended for a bit to allow for full media coverage, but for now all I'm seeing of the list are allegations of cocaine use.

Background:

Background: Sometimes a book deal comes along that you never knew you were waiting for, but, once it's announced, you realize it has been your secret wish all along. Which explains our reaction to the news that Dustin Diamond, whose high-pitched nerdy exploits as Samuel "Screech" Powers figured prominently in nearly thirteen (!) years of Saved by the Bell incarnations (plus that infamous sex tape), has jumped on the tell-all bandwagon. Behind the Bell, which Gotham Books preempted from Objective Entertainment's Jarred Weisfeld, promises to detail "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying," and for those of us who spent untold hours in our formative years memorizing "I'm So Excited" and the entire back catalog of Zack Attack, this is the greatest book deal in the history of the universe.

Personally, I'm wondering just what bombshells he really has. I think he's got nothing and is just hoping for some money to payoff his reported debts. (That sex tape didn't seem to make too much of a difference.. ewww). Listed are some "big news" that he could include in his book. They don't have to be proved correct, only included in his book.

For settlement, options include only the 7 pictured actors.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source based on Dustin Diamond's book. Can't find a release date for the book right now, the suspend date will be pushed back if it hasn't released (or been leaked) by December 1st.

This book sounds like an unplanned pregnancy, all by itself...Is this really so exciting? How long before we get the "Leave it to Beaver" sex scandals?
