I wonder what happened to all of his Saved By The Bell Money. Is he one of those kid stars whose parents took all of his money?

I read that he also told Howard how big something else is..:wink:

MILWAUKEE --More than a bell is needed to save Dustin Diamond this time around. Diamond, best known as geeky Screech Powers on the 1989-1993 teen comedy series "Saved by the Bell," is selling T-shirts with his photo on them to try to raise $250,000 so he doesn't lose his gray two-story house under a foreclosure order.

"If the public didn't care, I as an entertainer wouldn't have been a success," he said.

Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts -- at $15 or $20 (autographed) each -- to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn't have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.

The T-shirt has a photo of Diamond holding a sign that says, "Save My House." The back of the shirt reads, "I paid $15.00 to save Screeech's house." The third "e" was added to get around copyright laws, he said.

He's selling the shirts on his Web site: http://www.getdshirts.com.

The foreclosure order was filed last month in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.

Diamond appeared on Howard Stern's satellite radio show Tuesday to plead his case. "I'm doing great with my comedy, but this is definitely a low point," he said. "Real life comes in and affects you."
 
He's done a handful of reality shows (Surreal Life, Celebrity Boxing, and some dating show)...I suppose those didn't pay well either.
 
the guy who was supposed to help screech save his house from foreclosure did absolutely nothing about it, which is why he went on howard stern to tell his story. i hope everything works out for screech.

Was that a lawyer, if you know?

That sucks, I hope it works out for him


his name is Arthur Giraldo but im not sure he is a lawyer. he specialized in land contracts and so forth.

you can read the story here
 
We should feel sorry for him and buy t-shirts because he squandered away all the money he made during Saved By The Bell and now can't pay for his house? Sorry :down: If this were us, I seriously doubt that he would care.

I don't plan to give one penny to dear old Dustin. However, he has said on many occasions that his SBTB money was squandered by his parents while he was still a minor--which led him to move to the relativly inexpensive Milwaukee in the first place. So I do feel sorry for him in that regard.

I've heard numerous differing things regarding that. However, I don't see why we should pay for his house...

Donate money to a medical or environmental foundation or help save Screech? Lol. Thousands of people have home foreclosure issues. Most of them nobody would ever buy a t-shirt from. I loved Screech as a kid, but in all honesty, it's save Dustin's house not save Screeches.
 
im in the minority but i donated. i would hate to be in a position where i might lose my home.

Agreed. Maybe he should consider getting a job like the rest of us.
 
If i was broke and needed to keep my house i wouldnt sell shirts lol.

I would release a song. :reject:
 
NY Daily News

Porn star's name
may ring a 'Bell'

Sex education Dustin (Screech) Diamond will be appearing in a way many of his fans hoped never ever to see him.

He may have played nerdy eighth-grader Samuel (Screech) Powers in the sitcom "Saved by the Bell." But former TV geek Dustin Diamond can now take his place with Colin Farrell, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock as the star of his very own sex tape.

Everyone who remembers Diamond as a lovable putz is in for a shock once they see a 40-minute video in which he engages in a kinky three-way with two women, sources tell us.

We can't get too graphic here, but word is that the action includes some bodily functions and an act known as a "Dirty Sanchez."

Phoenix-based agent David Hans Schmidt, who has brokered some of Hollywood's biggest celebrity-skin deals, confirms that he's acquired the rights to a tape featuring Diamond.

"Just when you think you have seen everything in this business," he tells us, "mankind has raised the bar another notch. Or lowered it."

Schmidt is in L.A., shopping the tape to Hustler's Larry Flynt, Vivid's Steven Hirsch and other major distributors of adult video.

Now age 29, the 6-foot Diamond is much brawnier than you may remember him. He's a black belt in karate, and, four years ago, he defeated Ron Palillo (Horshack on "Welcome Back, Kotter") on Fox's "Celebrity Boxing 2."

Diamond's manager, Roger Paul, said his client has become a successful standup comic and will appear on the ABC sitcom "The Knights of Prosperity."

"I haven't seen the tape," Paul told us. "I've heard rumors. Dustin has been trying to escape the Screech typecast. So this may help me get more bookings."

In 1996, former "Saved by the Bell" sweetheart Elizabeth Berkley bared all in the Paul Verhoeven-Joe Eszterhas trashterpiece, "Show Girls."

The sex vid's working title is "Saved by the Smell." Ewwwww.
 
tmz.com has a "preview" of the video on their main page, if anyone actually wants to watch it.

"David Hans Schmidt, who has become famous in the sex tape industry by peddling videos featuring Paris Hilton, Colin Farrell and others, claims ownership to the Screech tape. It was shot in a hotel. Diamond is holding the camera and narrating, as he engages two women in various combinations and positions.

The tape begins with Diamond in a bathtub, narrating what's to come. It ends with Diamond introducing one of the women to a "Dirty Sanchez." Suffice it say, it is unbelievably graphic.

Schmidt is out shopping the tape and we're told it has been generating significant interest. What's unusual, we're told, is that some mainstream media companies are interesting in purchasing the rights."

In better news - apparently screech is hung like a bull.

So, he's got that going for him... :wink:

That's NOT what I heard from a friend who dated him back in highschool. :eyebrow: He was also a sleeze to my friend too. I should still have her homecomming picture with him around somewhere. I hope he's changed since then.
