Tiffani + Bieber = T-shirt Buddies!

During Sunday night’s MuchMusic Video Awards, Justin Bieber showed his love for Tiffani Thiessen as he donned a t-shirt featuring a colourful ’90s-era portrait of the actress during her Saved by the Bell days.


On Thursday (June 23), Tiffani paid back the compliment as she rocked a t-shirt with the teen heartthrob’s name face emblazoned on it as she attended the screening of Horrible Bosses at Sunshine Landmark in New York City.


That’s right, ladies and gentleman, Tiffani is the latest celeb to come down with a serious case of Bieber Fever.


For her part, Tiffani got a kick when she saw Justin wearing a shirt with her alter ego Kelly Kapowski on it. She took to her Twitter account to write: “Ha, tnx for the love @JustinBieber.”


If you want to get your very own Kelly t-shirt, head on over to Urban Outfitter’s website HERE. They have it for sale at the low low price of $24.00!

If you watched it when it aired on Friday, take a look at the full interview online below. My question wasn't answered on air, but during the full edit online.

Zack and AC: A 'Saved by the Bell' Reunion at The Grove
May 27, 2011

"Extra's" Mario Lopez reunited with his old "Saved by the Bell" castmate Mark Paul Gosselaar at The Grove -- and answered some fan questions!

It's been 17 years since Lopez and Gosselaar starred as AC Slater and Zack Morris on "Saved by the Bell." Were there any serious romances behind the scenes? "I don't know if there were romances," laughed Gosselaar. Lopez added, "Yeah, romance is a strong word." Gosselaar said it was more "Giggly, fun." Lopez continued, "Fun's a good word. We'll go with fun!"

Gosselaar will be starring in the upcoming TNT show "Franklin and Bash" with Breckin Meyer, playing a smooth-talking lawyer. "My guy is a bit more slick in court, connects with jury better, off the cuff more in court."

"Franklin and Bash" premieres June 1 at 9:00 PM on TNT.

SBTB:NOW! Exclusive: Lucky BELL Fan Writes About Meeting MPG and Tiffani 20 Years Ago!

We have a special blog post today! Irene, a BELL fan from the original days, has written to share with a fond memory from her childhood when she got the chance to meet Mark-Paul and Tiffani in France! Irene, I can totally relate to your fondness of the show. I am almost 30 years old and BELL still holds a special place in my heart. I just can't seem to give up this little fansite I started 10 years ago! Enjoy everyone.... -Erika

Irene writes:

It was 20 years ago. I got a call one day after school telling me that I had won a television contest and would get to have dinner with my idols, Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Some screaming and jumping up and down followed before my mother eventually calmed me down and celebrated with me.

My passion for Zack Morris started with the show “Good Morning Miss Bliss”, and soon my days were all revolving around “Saved By The Bell”. My friends and I would all rush home after school to watch a new episode and talk about it first thing in the morning the next day. I don’t think people know how popular SBTB was in France at that time, and that Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen and the rest of the cast were featured in teen magazines every week.

It was 20 years ago. We were six lucky kids waiting in a private dining room at the Hard Rock Café in Paris, magazines, pens and disposable cameras at hand, our hearts pounding and yes, some of us sweating excessively. And then they appeared. Of course it was surreal and my feet didn’t touch ground for two hours. Few of us spoke English so the conversations were short and awkward at times. But Tiffani and Mark-Paul, who had brought along his equally kind and beautiful mother, were very generous with us all.

I’m 34 years old now. I’ve watched all the episodes of SBTB, still remember some of them more vividly than I would like to admit as well as the lyrics of the song “Friends Forever”. It was 20 years ago. And it is still one of my fondest memories ever.

A SBTB:NOW! Fan Meets Elizabeth!

We have another SBTB:NOW! member who had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth Berkley during her book tour for "Ask Elizabeth"! Elizabeth made a stop at her home state Michigan on March 30. Renee, a native of Elizabeth's hometown Farmington Hills, made it to her book signing and is kind enough to share her experience with us! enjoy!

Renee writes:

"Meeting Elizabeth Berkley was an amazing experience and a childhood dream come true! When she first walked in she said hi to her family all waiting there to see her (this is the town she grew up in which is the same as mine). She announced that she just found out her book was #4 on the NY Times best seller list! It was so cool to be there with her right when she, like the rest of us, just found out! Then she made a little speech talking about the book and how great it was to be back in her home town sharing this with us. She said it was such a full circle moment. After she talked for a bit she took a few questions from the audience. When she was done she starting signing books. When it was my turn I mentioned I had written her on FB a few months ago about coming here on her book tour and she said omg that was you? with a big smile on her face! I was so touched she remember who I was. She told me to write her a note on FB saying who I was and that I was there. :) We talked for a bit. I brought one of my sbtb books for her to sign(it has her on the cover) she said how cool it was to see that since she hadn't seen it in such a long time! She even flipped through it a bit. She signed both books for me and let me take a picture with her and even asked if it came out well. All in all it was an awesome experience and I am an even bigger fan of hers than I was before. She really is beautiful inside and out! She is making her home town proud! The book is great too. Wish I had had it when I was a teen. Still very useful though even if you are a bit older. :)"

Thank you Renee! We are so happy you had this great chance to meet Elizabeth!

SBTB:NOW! Fan Meets Elizabeth!

One of our own SBTB:NOW! members got the chance to meet Elizabeth at her first official Ask Elizabeth book signing at The Grove in Los Angeles on March 26! Candice was gracious enough to share her experience with us.

She writes:

The signing and meeting Elizabeth Berkley was such an awesome experience. She

was so genuine. A lot of the girls who are featured in her book were there. For

a lot of the girls this was the first time they met face to face. Before she

signed she answered any questions anyone had for her. When I met her I mentioned

how I wish her book was out when I was in high school. She was so sweet. Thank

you, Saved By the Bell:Now, if not for you, I would have missed out.

You are very welcome and we are so happy you got the chance to meet Elizabeth! Thank you Candice for sharing your experience with us! :)

Oscar Nominated Actress admits crush on AC Slater!

She earned an Oscar nomination for 2009's "An Education" and has starred opposite actors like Michael Douglas, Johnny Depp and Jake Gyllenhaal, but the highlight of Carey Mulligan's career so far has been meeting Mario Lopez.

During a recent L.A. Times Young Hollywood roundtable chat, the 25-year-old British It girl revealed that she's had a crush on the "Saved by the Bell" star ever since she saw him at L.A.'s Muscle Beach during a family vacation when she was 11.

And to this day, she still gets flustered when she sees the "Extra" host at Hollywood events.

"All the way through awards season, every time we did a red carpet and I saw A.C. Slater, I was like a complete disaster," says the "Wall Street 2" star. "I went bright red… and they make you stand really close to these people - uncomfortably close - and because of the camera angles, I was always within sort of kissing distance."

Those intimate public moments have been the biggest perks of fame by far. "Every one of my dreams has come true this year, including that,” she says.

CONFESSIONS OF A BELL FAN: Meet Renee!

Today's confessions come from one of our biggest fans, Renee! Renee has been a dedicated follower of SBTB:NOW! almost from the very beginning. She is a big fan of the show since 1994 and the biggest Tiffani-Amber Thiessen fan you'll ever meet! She's our Buddy Bands designer, too! It's always good to hear from her because she's an overall sweetheart. Enjoy her confessions!

Remember, it is really easy to be a part of our CONFESSIONS. Just answer the following questions and email your answers to sbtbnow@aol.com and you will be featured on our blog!

1) What is your most fondest memory of the show growing up?

I have 2 memories. A) waiting a week or two to see the wedding in Las Vegas movie. I saw a commercial for it and I flipped out! I seriously could not wait to see it. the night it was on I remember that friday we went on a field trip to this local park. and I remember thinking my god when will this day be over so I can watch the wedding movie! lol
B) my mom willing to buy me a million teen magazines about sbtb and the upcoming wedding movie. for a while she had tried to find stuff I wanted/enjoyed to read because I had trouble with reading. and I was supposed to practice with books and things. but she couldn't get me to do it because I was picky and wasn't interested in reading anything. until I heard about the sbtb wedding movie. I can honestly say that my reading level went up that year from reading all my magazines and sbtb books.

2) If you change one element of the show, what would it be?

I would change Kelly and Jessie not being in all of the last season episodes. those episodes are not the same without them in it. adding Tori was interesting but it would have worked better if she was a new added friend instead of a replacement for the other 2 beloved characters. I know it was the actors who wanted out so I know it couldn't happen. but I still wish we had had more senior year episodes with Kelly and Jessie.

3) Who is your inner character and why?

My inner character I would say would be Kelly. I'm honestly not really totally like any of the characters. but I idolized her. she was good at everything, sweet, and popular. she was the person everybody loved. and that was kind of what I wanted to be like as a kid. and I was always one of the "nice kids" that was nice to everyone and wanted everyone to like me. so I guess I was like her a bit in that way.

4) Have you ever experienced a moment in life that you could relate to SBTB? explain.

Probably many actually. but the one that comes to mind was when I was in high school. my math teacher just up and left for some reason. so we had subs coming in and out to teach the class. and one time we had this guy come in who was literally insane. he reminded me of all the nutty teachers they had on sbtb. I was like I'm living in a sbtb episode! lol later I learned my sister in middle school had him too. he was making the rounds in the district and was then taken out because of all the parents complaints. He was clearly mentally unstable. but it was pretty funny!

CONFESSIONS OF A BELL FAN: Meet Alexis!

Today's BELL FAN CONFESSIONS we here from Alexis. He has been a huge fan since the early days of BELL and I am excited to share his confessions with you! Enjoy! Remember, it is really easy to be a part of our CONFESSIONS. Just answer the following questions and email your answers to sbtbnow@aol.com and you will be featured on our blog!

1) What is your most fondest memory of the show growing up?

I remember when Zack and Kelly broke up. It was devastating. It felt like I WAS breaking up with my girlfriend. That hit home really hard for me. Oh yeah, and for years after the show was over, my brother and I thought that WE were the only people in the world who remembered Jessie's Song "I'm so excited". Little did we know the phenomenon it became.

2) If you change one element of the show, what would it be?

There really isn't anything to change at all. Maybe it could use a better bridge between the Miss Bliss years and Bayside, but that's just picking at nits at this point. Did you ever catch that Belding and AC are wearing Bayside SEAGULLS JR HIGH SCHOOL shirts in The Election episode?

3) Who is your inner character and why?

Of course I'd say either Zack or Slater, but in reality I'm probably more of a Screech. :/ I'll split the difference and say Kevin the robot.

4) Have you ever experienced a moment in life that you could relate to SBTB? explain.

I related Bell to real life everyday! If I had to pick a single day, it would be my high school graduation day. I remember the feeling of accomplishment and sadness that day and re-experienced it when the Bayside Kids finally left the airwaves. It's hard to say goodbye to old friends.

SBTB:NOW! Blog Exclusive: NEW Confessions of a BELL Fan! Meet Tony!

Today we hear from SBTB:NOW! member Tony. I enjoyed reading his confessions and hope you will, too! Thank you so much for participating Tony!

Remember: We are still looking for more confessions to post. Don't forget to send in your answers. Your confessions will be featured on our blog! Just e-mail your responses to sbtbnow@aol.com

1) What is your most fondest memory of the show growing up?

I may be an unusual example in that I came to SBTB fairly late in life. I first started watching the show by accident. My son was born in 1991, and Channel 4 here in the UK were showing SBTB on Sunday mornings. I remember I would sit in bed feeding my son and watching the show. I have fond memories of that. I had previously watched Good Morning Miss Bliss on occasion, and I remember being fascinating at seeing Hayley Mills in an American show, but after SBTB started airing I was hooked and became a regular viewer, watching all the way through the series as it aired. I also picked up some of the College Years, and the New Class, but by then I was extremely busy with two kids, and the scheduling was not convenient. I plan to get the DVDs at some point to remedy that.

2) If you change one element of the show, what would it be?

There's probably nothing I would change. I think SBTB was one of those shows that just hit the sweet spot. Like most fans I would have liked the show to run for longer, and for the College Years to have had greater success. I would also have liked to see Hayley Mills continue with the series somehow.

3) Who is your inner character and why?

Being older, and now having teenage kids myself, I probably most relate to Mr. Belding in the show. I was a college lecturer for 7 years, so I know what it's like to be surrounded by smart kids giving me the run around! I can also relate to that aspect of being older and sometimes wiser, and trying to pass that hard earned knowledge and experience on - but young people know better! It's ironic, but as the cast grows older I can relate to the actors far more. MPG was recently divorced, and like me has two children, and being divorced myself I can certainly relate to what he's going through, and what he will go through in the future with regards that.

4) Have you ever experienced a moment in life that you could relate to SBTB? explain.

I went back to college part-time from 1992-1994 to complete my MSc. I felt old at the time, but I was only 30, which seems young now. :) It was great being a student again, and meeting other "mature" students like myself. We used to hang out in our building's small refectory, which conjured up images of being in The Max.

SBTB:NOW! Confessions of a BELL Fan: Meet Alison!

We have our first "Confessions of SBTB Fan" post! Meet Alison. Alison has a blog dedicated to BELL, Buddy Bands, where she discusses how SBTB and other tv shows from 90's have been relevant in her real life experiences. It's a fun read and I recommend you check it out!

She writes this about herself:

"I've been a fan since middle school and just never seemed to outgrow it. It never gets old! I love to randomly say lines from the show in my everyday life but this usually warrants strange looks and whispers. Once in a while though, there is that one person in the room who actually gets it. I live for those moments!"

Here are her SBTB confessions:

1. What is your most fondest memory of the show growing up? My fondest memory is probably watching the show everyday after school. My mom always says she got so sick of hearing the canned laughter while she was making dinner. Also, I remember very vividly trying to learn the Hot Sundae dance to "Put your Mind to it". It's still a fun trick to pull out at parties!

2. If you change one element of the show, what would it be? I always thought it was unfair that Lisa never got much of a real love life (not counting Screech and the brief, one episode flings with Zack, Brian, and the freshman). I would have like to see Lisa with a serious BF. I also still really resent Kelly for cheating on Zack.

3. Who is your inner character and why? Definitely Stacy Carosi because she has a hard outer shell, but is really just a big softy on the inside. Plus, she is the heir to the Malibu Sands fortune.

4. Have you ever experienced a moment in life that you could relate to SBTB? explain. Of course! So many that I started a blog to document such times! Probably the most memorable would be when my friend delivered her baby at home on the bathroom floor - much like Mrs. B. delivering in the elevator! My friend's husband's name is even Zack! (see post: http://buddybands.blogspot.com/2010/06/special-delivery.html)
