Let this be a lesson to all you child stars out there. Film one disgusting sex tape when you grow up and People magazine will crop you out of old photos.
That's what happened to Dustin Diamond, as the celebrity news publication has stolen Jimmy Fallon's idea and paying tribute to Saved by the Bell cast.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen? Done and done. DD? Not so much.
Check out what they've done to poor Screech, pretending he didn't even exist as they mark the 20th anniversary of the former Saturday morning staple ...
AIRBRUSHED OUT: Screech gets the Back to the Future treatment.
Diamond may have the last laugh though. Over the course of the past year he penned a tell-all book about life on the teen TV show’s set, a book which promised “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying.”
We don't know if that's awesome or gross. Probably somewhere in between.
In any case, the scandalous book, originally set to be published by Gotham Books, was dropped from that imprint because, well, come on, who's gonna buy a freaking Dustin Diamond tell-all, honestly. We're in a recession, people.
Fortunately, those SBTB diehards who can't live without the inside Jesse Spano-A.C. Slater make-out sessions will still be able to get their hands on it, thanks to the Canadian publisher Transit, which will release it in September.
SCREECHED OUT: People Magazine is not a fan of Double-D.

Anything this idiot writes cannot be believed. He thinks he is a star, he is nothing but a hasbeen. I watched him on Celebrity Fitclub and he showed just what an ass he is. He is rude, not funny and obnoxious. The reunion will be a better on without him as I see him only causing friction. I loved Saved by the Bell and wouldnt miss him for a minute

Too bad he grew up to be a moronic douchebag.

Im 36 years old and I watch saved by the bell every morning before work. The show is really in my little brothers time period but I remember watching it with him when we were kids and he had all the posters on his wall. I guess I watch it because it reminds me of the old days. Well why cant there be a reunion show that everybody participates in. I don't have a problem with Dustin how would you like to go through life as a nerd? But Screech was clearly a staple of this show and without him it wont be right. People should not have taken him out of the picture because of a sex tape. Do you think they would take Pamela out of a bay watch reunion? All I have to say is that they should do everything they can to reconcile with Dustin.

I think that a reunion of the cast should include the entire cast, regardless of what they have done in the interim. In regards to the book, I imagine that there will be a degree of truth in it, but he shouldn't air people's dirty laundry in public. However, calling Diamond names (as other postings did) is not the solution, the solution is not buying the book. With that said, I don't think that the book will be a best seller.

You dumbasses, especially the author of this post. The only reason Dustin Diamond isn't included is because he excluded himself. He didn't want to be part of the photo shoot, for whatever reason. So why would they have his picture on the cover if he wasn't included? Just another bullshit Internet article about bullshit celebrities. Don't be total fucktards. Especially you, 'Free Britney'
