'Screech' actor turns to fans for help

Sun Jun 18, 4:43 AM ET

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."

Diamond doesn't have a listed phone number, and e-mails to the address on his Web site and at an alternative address were not immediately returned Thursday.


(I'll buy one if you buy one...)

Why should anyone save his house? There are people more deserving of the money he is trying to raise. Probably his own fault for losing it, the stupid crack head.

But I'm broke.

Isn't he one of those child actors whose parents stole most of his money? Like the Feldman.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to say no because you don't have a trademark "screech" face.

why is he losing his house?

jerseykrs said:

i have boobs tho...you like boobs....right?

SammiJ said:

Don't try to bribe me sammi!!!

jerseykrs said:

the damage has already been done

he claimed on howard Stern to have a 10" penis.

ufoclub said:

what does THAT have to do with anything?

ufoclub said:

He would.

He came to my town to do his comic routine at a private club. He was swearing a lot and insulting the audience. Not the smartest thing to do in Utah.

He was boo'ed off the stage.

Maybe crack isn't the problem. Maybe his comic routine just isn't funny.

SammiJ said:

that's his new claim to fame!

ufoclub said:

then he knows what he needs to do to raise money.

lights, camera, action!

Howard Stern joked the third element was “a big c*ck.” This led Dustin to reveal that that was the one requirement he’d be able to meet, announcing his penis is more than 10 inches long.

Dustin claimed that, contrary to popular belief, having a penis as big as his is “a curse” because of how painful it can be for his sex partners, as well as how inconvenient it is in his everyday life. Sal and Richard then came into the studio and offered Dustin $500 to perform various stunts – including receiving a naked lap dance from Richard, eating a Devil Dog out of Sal’s backside and accepting a teabag – but he wouldn’t agree to any of them.
A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

Dustin’s fiancé, Jennifer, came into the studio and admitted she was “afraid” the first time she saw Dustin’s penis, but also mentioned she now likes sex with him so much that she’d stay with him for the size of his penis alone. Dustin went on to say he doesn’t wear condoms because he can’t find any that fit him properly, adding even Magnums are “snug.” Artie then pointed out he has the opposite problem and that the sides of his condom boxes all have “Ha ha” written on them.
LEARN TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE PENIS
Dustin mentioned he has a problem using the bathroom because his penis hangs into the toilet water and added he can’t stand at a urinal because of his size. Artie then mentioned he doesn’t like using urinals either, but his problem stems from the fact that when he goes “it looks like a stream of water coming out of a stomach.” As Dustin continued to say how troublesome his penis size was, Howard acknowledged he didn’t care about his house problems anymore, adding that “Dustin and his big d*ck could be homeless” for all he cared. Artie agreed with Howard’s assessment of the situation and advised Dustin to not bring up his 10-inch penis when asking people for money.

Why is it he is looking to "fans" to save his house? Shouldn't he be looking for a bell?

ufoclub said:

Good God.

I love when guys say condoms just don't fit. Those things stretch so much you can pull them over your head.

What a goof.

JustErin said:

I can't find a rubber to fit either.

































they always fall off.

jerseykrs said:

That's a shame.

JustErin said:

no way...really?

JustErin said:

Does that mean an end to the stalking?

sosgemini said:

yeah. have you ever made water balloons outta those things? they used to do it in health class when i was in jr. high in order to demonstrate that when a guy says that it doesn't fit, he's lying.
