“Saved By the Bell’’ and “Showgirls’’ actress Elizabeth Berkley’s side gig has turned into a full-time job. Besides acting, which she’s done over the last few years on shows such as “CSI: Miami,’’ Berkley has become a popular self-help guru for girls and has been traveling the country to promote her book “Ask Elizabeth: Real Answers to Everything You Secretly Wanted to Ask About Love, Friends, Your Body . . . and Life in General,’’ which placed No. 2 this week on The New York Times Bestsellers List of children’s paperback books.
On Friday, her book tour brought her to Medford High School where she spoke to a girls-only assembly. Berkley told us yesterday that Medford High was added to her list of visits because Medford-bred “Access Hollywood’’ host Maria Menounos told her to go there. “She said, ‘When you’re in Boston, you have to go to my high school,’’’ Berkley said, adding that she was thrilled to be surrounded by so many local ladies during the “town hall-style’’ talk.
