With no luck selling his sex tape, Dustin Diamond shifted gears about a year ago to selling something people might actually want to buy: a tell-all memoir about his days on the 90’s sitcom Saved By The Bell.
He had a deal set up with Gotham Books, who seemed rather enthusiastic about the project. The deal memo promised “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying.”
And really, who doesn’t want to read about that?!
However, it has been recently confirmed that the publisher dropped the book three months ago upon receipt of the manuscript.
Rumors are circulating that the book was considered “unpublishable” by the editors because the allegations about Dustin’s fellow cast members were considered “unverifiable.”
No, really?! We thought he was a completely reliable source!
Jarred Weisfeld, Screech’s literary agent, denies the rumors completely, saying: “That’s 100 percent bogus. It wasn’t the right home for the book. Sometimes people don’t gel. There were no problems whatsoever├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥just, things didn’t gel. If things don’t gel, you stop and move on…This one just wasn’t meant to be.”
Yeah, that statement doesn’t gel with us. We tend not to gel well with bullshit. That’s just how we gel!
No worries to anyone who is honestly and truly looking forward to this book. Screech’s crackpot team found another publisher in Montreal, who promises the book will be in your awaiting hands come Sept. 29.
Admit it. How many of U are going to read this?
Three of you? Four???
