A friend who works at the same company I do e-mailed me the link to this TMZ article today:

"TMZ has finally uncovered the connection between the HGTV show "Design on a Dime" and hardcore pornography -- a host who really enjoys interiors.

While the network continues to regularly air episodes featuring former host Lee Snijders, we've learned the guy who helped homeowners for more than six years is still giving advice to couples -- but purely of the girl-on-girl variety nowadays.

Snijders used the cash he raked in from "DoaD" and his stint as a Disney Imagineer to start his own porn company with porn star girlfriend Jett Angel. You can even catch Lee in several of the reality-style skin flicks manning the camera (or so we've heard).

Calls to HGTV were not returned."

The show Snijders hosted, Design on a Dime, is produced by the company I work for. In fact, it was one of the very first shows I ever edited for them. I never met him, but no one around the office seems to have anything nice to say. As one co-worker said, "First - I never got the appeal of this guy as a host. He's short and unattractive and sleezy. Second - his designs SUCKED - unless you like every room to look like a cheap Tiki Bar in a low end Polynesian Motel." I wonder if he's helping to design the porn sets?

God, I love TMZ. This is so salacious. Of course, I'm not really that offended by porn, so whatever floats his boat.

Edit, other than reruns, isn't Lee long done working on DoaD? I don't think he's been involved in any new shows in at least a year, and I think even closer to 2 years. Unrelated, but I had heard rumors that his team didn't get along at. all. behind the scenes.

My mom's going to be crushed when she hears this. She loves Lee.

LA - Someone else at work was suggesting Lee probably tipped TMZ off himself. I mean, do you think the people there are really trying to dig up stuff on HGTV people? I doubt it.

I heard the same thing about his crews, and no, he hasn't been around in a long time.
