There are always a handful of celebs that, when their name comes up, you know that there will be nothing positive attached to it. Former Saved By the Bell star Dustin Diamond is one of those people so naturally the latest drama surrounding him is as dysfunctional as ever. Apparently the former actor decided to make sure that this Christmas was one of his most memorable to date, because he ended up in a jail cell.

According to a report by TMZ, Diamond and his girlfriend were at a bar in Port Washington, Wisconsin on Christmas night when he got into a bar fight with a man that was accused of taking photos of the couple. Diamond allegedly stabbed the man with a switchblade and then left the scene. He and his girlfriend were pulled over by police shortly thereafter. He claims that he accidentally stabbed the man while defending his girlfriend, who was also charged with disorderly conduct.

Diamond appeared in a Port Washington court on Friday afternoon and was charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety; carrying a concealed weapon; and disorderly conduct (use of a dangerous weapon). He is currently sitting in jail in lieu of $10,000 bail and Diamond's next court date is on Monday.

What is it with this guy? Do you think that he kind of likes the negative publicity because at least it means that he'll be in the news again? Does Diamond believe that any publicity is a good thing, especially since his acting skills aren't exactly bringing in those checks any more? Do you think that he will get out of this without serving any jail time? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
