LOS ANGELES – After the recent announcement of the existence of a sex tape starring Saved By The Bell’s Dustin "Screech" Diamond, another celebrity is joining the ranks of Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee, Paris Hilton, Colin Farrell, Kid Rock, and R. Kelly — Elmo, of "Tickle Me Elmo" fame (video below).

The tape, made prior to Tickle Me Elmo’s success and fame on Sesame Street, was recently discovered by TMZ.com working in conjunction with investigative reporters from PoopyCaca.com. Tickle Me Harder shows Elmo, who is credited under with the name “El Macho,” in compromising positions with two other actors, “Jack Mo” and “Steve.”

Publicly, Elmo made a brief statement to reporters saying only, “Elmo no like.”

However, rumor has it that contract negotiations with the actor who plays the most popular character on Sesame Street have grown more adversarial due to exclusivity clauses, keeping Elmo from taking other roles in dramas or television shows.

Industry insiders say the uncovering of Tickle Me Harder was actually orchestrated by Elmo’s management team in an effort to tarnish his image, forcing Sesame Street to release the actor from his long-term contract, allowing him to pursue other acting opportunities.

“Elmo wants out and everyone knows it,” said one prominent agent, who spoke under the condition of anonymity. “There were whispers of this video he made since the nineties and when the DVD of it goes up for sale, it will be huge, not Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson huge, but Elmo’s days on Sesame Street are numbered.”
