Trading Spaces Fans - WHAT Happened To Paige Davis? Rumor Has It.....
Edited on Thu Jul-14-05 05:15 PM by 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.

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.

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:

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

21. I liked Alex better too.
She was a little boring but the show is not about the host (Paige, never learned that)

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.

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

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...

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. :(

28. Vern was the BEST designer... it is too bad he's not still there.
I don't remember ever disliking a Vern room.

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?
