Watch out, Kelly Kapowski - there's another woman in Zack Morris's life. Well, there was, and it actually happened behind the scenes of Saved by the Bell. On a Jan. 22 episode of Anna Faris's Unqualified podcast, Mark-Paul Gosselaar (who played the suave and sly Zack) revealed that he and costar Elizabeth Berkley (who portrayed Jessie Spano) actually had an offscreen relationship. "When you're working on a set, and we were young, there's no one around really," he explained. "I mean, you work and live in a bubble."

Mark-Paul Gosselaar hasn't wasted any time in finding a new love.
The former "Saved by the Bell" star, whose divorce from Lisa Ann Russell became final in May, is now engaged to advertising executive Catriona McGinn, People reports. There's no word on a wedding date.
Gosselaar, who now stars in TNT's series "Franklin & Bash," proposed last week, giving McGinn a five-carat ring designed by jeweler Neil Lane, a friend of Gosselaar's. "He couldn't wait to propose," Lane tells People (he's also shared his thoughts with several other celeb outlets. Savvy marketing, Mr. Lane). "He was so excited to have found the woman of his dreams."
Gosselaar, 37, and Russell were married for nearly 11 years and have two children together. He filed for divorce in June 2010, citing irreconcilable differences.

Sorry 90s TV fans, but it looks like Zach Morris is off the market. Yes, Mark-Paul Gosselaar is engaged, and amazingly/sadly it isn’t to Kelly Kapowski. The ink has barely dried on his May divorce from Lisa Ann Russell, but Mark has popped the question to ad exec Catriona McGinn over the weekend. “He couldn’t wait to propose,” his friend Neil Lane told People. Neil also designed the custom 5 carat cushion-cut diamond engagement ring. “He was so excited to have found the woman of his dreams.” We’re so excited! And we just can’t hide it! No wedding date has been set yet, but we sure hope they hold the reception at The Max. You can’t mess with tradition.

And though Zack Morris has now graduated from wise guy Bayside student to wise guy lawyer, a certain little on-set mishap is still a bit of a titillating affair: Mark-Paul Gosselaar put the Bash in bashful.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, Gosselaar revealed the details of an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on the set of his new TNT legal drama, "Franklin & Bash," blaming the situation on a dearth of clothing and a lot of hot water.
Describing a hot tub scene in which he had just a bit of topstick covering his nether regions, Gosselaar said that the chlorine caused him more than a bit of trouble.

As a celebrity news site, we hardly ever come across a Hollywood divorce that isn't making headlines as the former couple take digs at each other in the media and in court. So, it was refreshing when E!Online reported earlier this month that "Saved by the Bell" icon and new star of TNT's "Franklin & Bash," Mark-Paul Gosselaar, was generating positive headlines about his current divorce proceedings with his wife of close to 14 years, actress Lisa Ann Russell.
"That's always the concern," Gosselaar tells Zap2it about the divorce. "Are you doing any harm to the kids? The truth is if two people are unhappy in an environment together and the kids are a part of that environment, you need to make a change."

While former Saved by the Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar's marriage couldn't be, er, saved, this bit of news certainly has a nice ring to it.

The request is similar to the one Gosselaar himself put in when the actor filed for divorce last June after the couple separated following nearly 14 years of marriage. Russell has also asked for spousal support, which shouldn't be a problem since Gosselar already offered to provide it, along with child support, in his initial petition as well. With...
