Paige Davis Back on ‘Trading Spaces’

Hottie Paige Davis will rejoin Trading Spaces in an effort to revive the flagging franchise.

Paige Davis is moving back to TLC’s “Trading Spaces.”

The Broadway actress and TV host will return to the once-popular home makeover series beginning in January, the network said in a statement Thursday.

In 2005, TLC announced Davis would no longer host “Trading Spaces” and transitioned the series to a host-less format. Davis had perkily hosted the show, which features neighbors swapping homes and redecorating a room, since 2001. Besides “Trading Spaces,” she’s also appeared on Broadway in the musicals “Beauty and the Beast” and “Chicago.”

The new season begins shooting this month and will be filmed entirely in high-definition. Designers Doug Wilson, Laurie Hickson-Smith, Frank Bielec and Hildi Santo-Thomas will also return to the show, alongside carpenters and other designers to be announced later.

What the AP story fails to mention is why Davis was dismissed from the show to begin with.

First, there was the July 2004 report of Paige Davis Stripping, during which she showed off her tight ass and perky breasts for charity. That was followed by news in December of a Paige Davis Sex Tape. That led to the Paige Davis firing as Trading Spaces host in January.

Still, as I noted at the time the word of the Paige Davis Stripping incident broke, “Frankly, I’d rather watch her pretend-strip than watch people’s idiot neighbors paste corrogated cardboard on the walls, paint the couch purple, and take down the ceiling fan. Hell, it’s not even close.”

My guess is a lot of viewers felt the same way.
