Screech Is Broke!
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.
