Lying on his couch one afternoon in late February, David Hans Schmidt puts Oprah on mute, grabs his ringing phone, and raises an eyebrow. "Where's 732?" He flips it to speaker. "Hans Schmidt."

"Er, hi. I had a look at your website," says a male voice. "I've got footage of Cassandra Peterson copulating in the seventies. She was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark? She's in negotiation to do a reality show now . . ."

This is how it is for Schmidt these days. The filth finds him. Porn on a plate. Such are the rewards of being America's premier peddler of celebrity smut. At 46, Schmidt has a rèsumè that includes the Gennifer Flowers Penthouse cover, Tonya Harding's wedding-night video, Paris Hilton's private diaries, nude shots of Private Jessica Lynch, Amber Frey, and Jamie Foxx, and sex tapes of Colin Farrell and Dustin Diamond—and, if the man on the phone is for real (Schmidt is still determining the tape's authenticity), maybe Elvira, too.

"Tell me, is there full sex, fellatio, cunnilingus?" Schmidt asks, pacing the room in stonewashed jeans and cowboy boots. The man claims there's 18 minutes of high-res action. In color. With a money shot.

How did Dustin Diamond go from starring on Saved by the Bell to selling his sex tape? Watch Diamond come clean in our exclusive video interview.

As Screech on Saved by the Bell, Dustin Diamond spent his formative years looking for a way to get into Lisa Turtle's pants. But instead of fading into obscurity after the series ended its 13-year run in 2000, he performed an on-camera "Dirty Sanchez" and earned himself another 15 minutes of (something less than) fame. Does Diamond deserve a second act, or is he just milking Screech for all he's worth? Check out this exclusive video, then post your comments to tell us what you think.
