The TV Reunion Career Success Index
3:05AM Brian Moylan | There is a simple formula to determine how successful the stars of hit television shows go on to become: how long it takes before the reunion special. Seinfeld held out for 11 years, how long did everyone else last? More »
And The Gold Medal For Casting Michael Phelps Goes To…
8:40AM Defamer Hollywood | Like a record-setting swimmer surging forward towards the goal, you, the Defamer readership, have flooded us with suggestions for which actor could best play the role of gold medal Olympian Michael Phelps. Swimming prowess was secondary (that’s what they have CG for) and so were bankable names; after all, no A-list actor worth mentioning could hope to fill the speedo of these perfectly cast finalists.

We’re So Excited: Screech Set To Unveil The Sex And Drugs Behind The Scenes Of ‘Saved By The Bell’
11:10AM Molly Friedman | When we used to wake up in the mornin’ after the alarm gave out a warnin’, it was always alright ‘cuz we were Saved By The Bell. Yes, all you ’80s-born kiddies, the show we embarrassingly grew up watching religiously despite the fact that catching a rerun these days makes us dry-heave, is in the headlines again. The frizzy-haired, unemployed trophy winner of the World’s Most Nauseating Sex Tape (that is, until Mini-Me stole the title), Dustin “Screech” Diamond, has given up on those comedy club circuit dreams and made the heroic decision to put his nose to the mirror grindstone. As Vulture reports, we will soon have the pleasure reading a tell-all book scripted by Diamond, detailing what really went on behind the scenes of that epic show. And if you’re like us, who consider Jesse Spano’s “I’m So Excited…I’m So…Scared” scene a pivotal moment in our adolescence, don’t despair — Diamond is said to be more than ready to spill each and every bean when it comes to revealing all of the dirty deets of Bayside High School’s Class of 1993.

Looking Good, Timberlake…
7:16AM Jess McGuire | You know what? Even though he’s meant to be looking all nerdy in the new Gnarls Barkley videoclip, we’d still probably let Justin Timberlake do naughty things to us, if the opportunity “arose”.
Awww. He looks kinda sweet, doesn’t he? We’re fairly certain The Sun’s description of Timberlake looking “like Screech, from 1990s US TV show Saved By The Bell, doing karaoke” won’t be making JT feel too good about himself right now, but on the upside, somewhere Dustin Diamond is making another seedy sex video with renewed vigdiour and self-confidence. Possibly with SexyBack blaring in the background.
