Saved By The Bell Cast Rejects The Reject (Screech)

From The Wall Street Journal:
Chances are, you’ve already seen this week’s issue of People magazine, which features a photo-heavy 20-year “Saved by the Bell” reunion and brought together Lark Voorhies, Mario Lopez, Tiffani Thiessen, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Elizabeth Berkley for the first time since the final episode of the franchise wrapped in 1994. But co-star Dustin Diamond, who played resident nerd Samuel “Screech” Powers, was reportedly not invited, because he no longer speaks to the rest of the cast, thanks to his issues involving unpaid taxes, a raunchy sex tape, various reality show appearances, and more significantly, his upcoming tell-all book entitled “Behind the Bell,” which was recently resold to Transit Publishing, following “a mutual decision not to publish” with Gotham, for publication on September 29. As Gosselaar, who currently stars on TNT’s “Raising the Bar” recently explained to Newsweek: “What is he going to say? We were banging groupies at 14? I can’t wait to read his book, because I don’t have a memory of a lot of the shows. Maybe it was because I was doing lines off of the audience members’ asses. I’m sure he’s going to write something crazy like that… I’m not really afraid of what he has to say. There are not too many skeletons in my closet.”
