Saved By The Bell's Dustin Diamond Still Trying To Ruin Your Childhood   This seems to be quite the week for finding out terrible things about the sex lives of celebrity hangers-on.  First Mackenzie Phillips drops the bombshell that she had an incestuous relationship with her dad for a decade of her adult life, and now we're treated to alleged sex scandals behind the scenes of Saved By The Bell, the much-beloved Bush Sr.-era television series.  This Tuesday the series' sleaziest castmember, Dustin Diamond, will be releasing the awkwardly-titled Behind The Bell, a tell-all memoir with a horribly Photoshopped cover promising to reveal sex, drugs, and hard partying among the cast members.  The man who played nerdy Screech Powers, or at the very least his ghostwriter, alleges that fellow castmate Mark Paul Gosselaar used steroids, that Tiffani-Amber Thiessen slept her way to the top, and that NBC paid to cover up the fact that Mario Lopez date-raped someone.  Oh, and apparently caffeine pills weren't the only ones the cast was popping.   Behind The Bell's been in the works for over a year now.  But after being dropped by Gotham Books this summer, presumably because many of its allegations can't be verified, it got picked up by Transit Publishing, a small Canadian imprint whose most recent titles include a rush-released Michael Jackson biography and the story of the man who started Cirque du Soleil.  (Forthcoming titles include a Kiefer Sutherland bio and a tell-all rather boringly titled Brangelina: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  And yes, all the book covers are as bad as this one.) Diamond is surely hoping the book will sell; despite a surge in fame and TV appearances surrounding the release of his grody 2006 sex tape, he's currently being sued for back property taxes by the state of Wisconsin.  Oh, and his car was recently repossessed, too.  For those of you that can't wait until next Tuesday to read the book--Lord help you--there's an excerpt of Behind The Bell in the new issue of Us Weekly.  And, again, we find ourselves longing for those innocent days when it seemed like Elizabeth Berkley was the trampy one for starring in Showgirls.
