Dustin Diamond is receiving some well wishes from his former Saved By The Bell co-stars Mario Lopez and Tiffani Thiessen.

Earlier this week, Dustin was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer following a hospitalization in Florida, in which he was “feeling pain all over his body”.

“At this time we can confirm that Dustin does have cancer,” his team shared after the news broke. “Dustin will disclose more information once it is available and a plan moving forward is made.”

After the reveal, both Mario Lopez and Tiffani Thiessen have sent their well wishes to him, with Mario directly speaking with him.

“I connected with Dustin earlier this evening and although the news of his diagnosis is heartbreaking, we remain positive that he’ll overcome this,” Mario shared on his Instagram page with two photos of the two together. “Praying for him & his family and for a speedy recovery. God Bless.”

Tiffani posted a photo of Dustin on her Instagram Story and wrote, “Thinking of you Dustin.”

Dustin was the only member of the original Saved By The Bell cast to be left out of the new Saved By The Bell revival. His absence was explained though, and you can find out by watching on Peacock.

Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez make their way through the parking lot as they arrived separately for a business meeting on Tuesday (January 12) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 45-year-old actress/director kept things casual in gray sweatsuit while the 47-year-old Saved by the Bell actor sported a black sweater and dark navy jeans for their meeting.

Eva was spotted staying safe in a face mask while Mario did not wear one as they chatted in the parking lot before making their way into the building.

Later that day, Mario shared a cute selfie with Eva on Instagram.

“Always great conversation when I catch up with this one…” Mario captioned the pic.

If you didn’t know, Eva and Mario have been close friends for years.

A rumor started swirling on social media earlier this week that a Desperate Housewives revival is in the works! Get the scoop here.

Mario Lopez is the latest celebrity to take on the role of KFC’s Colonel Sanders, but this time it’s for a mini-movie on Lifetime!

The 47-year-old actor will star in the mini-movie, which will premiere this weekend on the network.

Here’s the official summary for the film: “As the holidays draw near, a young heiress contends with the affections of a suitor handpicked by her mother. When the handsome chef, Harland Sanders, arrives with his secret fried chicken recipe and a dream, he sets in motion a series of events that unravels the mother’s devious plans. Will our plucky heiress escape to her wintry happily ever after with Harland at her side, or will she cave to the demands of family and duty?”

KFC U.S. CMO Andrea Zahumensky shared a statement about the funny parody movie: “We’re no strangers to heating things up for the holidays, just like our famous fried chicken-scented fire log. But let’s face it, we could all use a little distraction this holiday season, so why not fill some of your time at home with a suspenseful drama and the comfort of our world-famous fried chicken?”

Mario follows in the footsteps of other celebs like Rob Lowe, Sean Astin, George Hamilton, Reba McEntire and more in donning the famous chef’s look.

A Recipe for Seduction is a 15-minute branded content collaboration from Lifetime, KFC and agency Wieden+Kennedy Portland, and debuts on Lifetime on Sunday, December 13 at
12/11c.

In the new series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the most well-funded schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the privileged Bayside kids a much-needed dose of reality.

John Michael Higgins stars as Principal Toddman alongside the new class featuring Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Josie Totah and Haskiri Velazquez.

The show debuts on Peacock on November 25. Check out the trailer…

Mario Lopez shows off his iconic neon 90s fashion sense in the brand new tralier for Peacock’s Saved By The Bell reboot.

Saved By The Bell, the new series, “explores what happens when Zack, now the governor of California, gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High.”

Josie Totah, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Pena, and Haskiri Velazquez also star in the reboot.

“I will be very surprised if I don’t get another baby coming out of this,” he joked.

“We keep busy in that department — but we also keep busy with the kids,” he went on to say.

The two have three children: Gia, 9, Dominic, 6, and Santino, 9 months.

He also admitted they all need some alone time, too: “Sometimes [Courtney] needs to be alone, so she finds different places to hide in the house.”
