‘Screech’ Hopes to Be Saved by the T-Shirt

MILWAUKEE, Jun. 17, 2006

(AP) 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.
