True Confessions: Memoirs on the way

OK, so there's a new celebrity autobiography in the works. Maybe I should write "celebrity" autobiography, though, because the subject is everyone's favorite token-geek-on-insipid-teen-show-turned-cult-favorite-who-then-went-on-to-make-an-ass-of-himself-on-reality-TV, Dustin Diamond, AKA Screech on "Saved by the Bell."

Sounds bad enough, it's touted as a "tell-all." Check out this note from Radar Online:

News from the literary scene! Dustin Diamond, a cast member from the beloved television show Saved by the Bell, has signed a deal to write a memoir: "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."

OK, I confess: I want to read this book. I won't pay for it, mind you, at least not full retail for the hardcover, but I want to read it.

Yes, even if that phrase "cast members" includes Mr. Belding.

OK, especially if that includes Mr. Belding.
