Trading Spaces Fans - WHAT Happened To Paige Davis? Rumor Has It.....

[matcom]

she was fired after the producers found out she did a porn shower scene a number of years ago when she was younger and there is a video. (this came from my Mother-In-Law)

So, my TWO questions are this:

1) Does anyone have a link to the STORY?

2) Does anyone have a link to the VIDEO? :evilgrin:

:shrug:

1. I doubt it

Mindy Paige Davis Page (her real name) has been persuing a stage career. During the hiatus from taping, she appeared on Broadway. Methinks she got offers to continue her stage career and took them. Beside, TS was looking to changing their format to keep up the ratings.

6. Mindy Paige Davis Page? She's got enough names fer two fellers!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

10. Maiden name was

Mindy Paige Davis. She married Patrick Page. Yes, many people have called her Paige Page, according to a TS behind the scenes show.

2. The video thing was debunked, I believe...

But there were those photos of her "stripping" at some fundraising event that were quite risque.

Actuality is probably that her contract was up and she wanted REAL money to continue, so they decided to go with the "hostless" format to avoid actually paying the onscreen talent much of anything or having to cut them in for a piece of the action on books, videos, etc.

That said, I'd love to see a Paige shower video, too.

25. Here's the pics of the charity "striptease"

Pretty G-rated, if you ask me. But I hear this really set TLC off.

[Doctor_J]

26. Nice outfit!

Whoa. :smoke:

[Shell Beau]

27. I've never seen those photos before.

Interesting for sure.

[gmoney]

30. Um, there were more... I'd say PG-13

Guess TLC is very conservative. There was even a big stink when she did this photo for TV guide:

[no name no slogan]

35. AA-OOOOOOOOO-GAH!!!!

She did a stage production here in MN a few years before she did Trading Spaces.

Well at least we know that if the TV and/or stage thing don't work out, she can always get a job stripping :P

3. I'm still pissed ALEX was fired in the first place and don't get me

started on WTF happened to Wayne from What Not To Wear!

Any video link yet?

[Misunderestimator]

11. Exactly... Alex was great... Paige is annoying.

[matcom]

13. who are YOU kidding?

you'd "do her" :P

[Misunderestimator]

15. Would not...

Not my type at all!

Unless you meant Alex... :D

[matcom]

23. LOVED her scratchy voice

MAJOR turn on for MOI

[bigwillq]

21. I liked Alex better too.

She was a little boring but the show is not about the host (Paige, never learned that)

[sniffa]

4. what about genevieve?

who cares about paige.

mmmm genevieve. :loveya:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

8. she was one of the designers

the last time I watched the show, which was sometime this month. I hope she keeps on doing "Town Haul"-I like the idea of a whole town pitching in to recreate/update its buildings and parks.

[fob]

9. NOW you're talking!

:P :9

[pdx_prog]

34. Gee.....whatever could it be that attracts you to her..

....I wonder....lol

Have you seen the "Party at the Palms" clip with Jenny McCarthy?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Here's some dirt on it

She TLC kept getting POed at Paige because she kept showing off her nice little body.

First, there was a slightly risque cover for TV Guide. Then she showed up and does a never-got-really-naked strip tease at an AIDS fundraiser, and pictures appeared all over the Internet of a bunch of guy guys ticking dollar bills into her clothes.

After months of threatening her to tone down her act, the station announced Paige was moving on to new opportunities and "Trading Spaces" announced its new "hostless format."

Nothing as bad as the rumors, but it's usually not. :P

[MrBenchley]

14. Worth noting TLC's ratings as a network are down 31%

since they dumped Paige Davis....

and Trading Spaces sucks the dead dog without her...

[tridim]

16. Isn't it more likely due to the dozens of copycat shows on cable?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. It could be

I don't watch any of the other ones, so I don't know if they're any better. :shrug:

[MrBenchley]

24. Nope...

Those shows were there before TLC took its nosedive...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. I'm with you

It was so much better when she was on the show, now it sucks.

See what being a prude got ya, TLC?

[xultar]

22. That is the story I heard too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Oh my, I'd watch that video!

She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

Rowr!!

[matcom]

12. i'll one-UP you !!!

i'll STAR in that video WITH her! :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. And I'll one up you!

I would PAY to star in the movie! I would eat boiled ribs to star in that movie! I would buy a Kinkade to star in the movie!

[AwakeAtLast]

17. I thought I read somewhere that Vern Yip was going to take over as host.

Then again, I could have been wishing. I liked Vern and his designs. That show is a mere shadow of what it once was. :(

[MissMillie]

28. Vern was the BEST designer... it is too bad he's not still there.

I don't remember ever disliking a Vern room.

[MissMillie]

29. I heard Paige was doing a Broadway stint

But I don't remember what show she was doing.

[Doctor_J]

31. Whoa - check out the other pics from that night

http://www.sunfyre.com/paigedavis.htm

She's a friendly one

[underpants]

33. NICE!

:hi:

[Enraged_Ape]

36. She's hot, there's no denyin'

And she knows it, too.

[Rising Phoenix]

32. I liked the host before her

I don't watch the show anymore, havn't for about a year, but I liked the old host. I don't know about this rumor, all I know is she sure doesn't look like a porn star does she?
